Second- ine efemlers 'l'o meet the increasing need for a strong force of workers on our second line of defense, the industrial classes offered those enrolled an opportunity to practice a trade with less pre- vious training than usual. The line work done by the student printers was proved by the school advertising material which they printed as one of their projects. To fill wartime vacancies in the printers' shops, a new course on the fundamentals of printing and type-setting was offered to girls, who responded with an overflowing class. The electric classes, which have grown larger, have been following an outline of study instituted by the government to prepare the boys as electricians when they enter the services. The other shops, among which are woodworking, machine shop, sheetmetal, auto shop, and mechanical drawing have prepared many boys for specialized work both on the home front and in the armed forces.
