Faculty On these pages you see pictured those gentlemen who present to the Apprentice the knowledge and craftsmanship which are essential in the development of a skill- ed artisan. While the above is the most evident contribution they make toward producing a first-rate mechanic, it is not the only one by any means, for it is they who are greatly instrumental in molding the Apprentice’s character. Through their understanding and interest, a newly regis- tered Apprentice is soon well on his way toward that final goal, graduation, and as time for graduation draws near, he an- ticipates the occasion with faith in him- self and his ability. Whatever undertak- ings he may become a part of, you may be sure that the training received at the hands of the Apprentice School Faculty will stand him in good stead and make him a citizen his community can be proud of. The BINNACLE salutes the Appren- tice ' s first friends.

Student Board The Student Body is governed by a Board of Directors chosen from among the entire student body. The plan which has thus been worked i out is: Each department having any apprentice has at least one representative on this : board. For each ten men or a fraction of ten men in any department, one man is i seated on the Board of Directors. Meetings are presided over by the pres- ident of the student body. These meetings of Directors are held in the auditorium, usually im- mediately after working hours. The main purpose of the Student Board of Directors is to promote harmony among students assigned to various departments throughout the Yard, by assisting in the organization and establishment of all clubs, associations, and societies within the school. The Student Board of Directors also transacts all other business of general in- terest to students not otherwise provided for. Left to right at table: L. W. Stancil, Jr., E. B. Bright, N. A. Barnes.
