for Useful Hands A comprehensive high school must have depart- ments covering many varied fields of interest in order to meet the needs of all the students. One such necessary department is the industrial arts department where 25 classes are taught daily. An education in industrial arts is defined as “a study of the chanares a man makes in the materials about him so that they will better meet his needs.” W arren’s industrial arts department has grown steadily through the years and now consists of courses in drafting, machine shop, printing, trans- portation, electronics, and woodworking. In drafting, not only sizes and shapes of indus- trial equipment become familiar to students, but also the hows and whys. Drafting, like other courses in industrial arts, is offered for ttvo years; but in special cases students can elect a third year. Wood- shop teaches the art of tvorking with wood. Students enrolled in this course usually complete about two projects in a year. Transportation deals with the study of gasoline motors, especially those of auto- mobiles. Machine shop students learn skills that will aid them in their occupations. Printing stu- dents print the school’s biweekly newspaper, along wdth tickets and programs for the school. In the study of electricity, electronics students learn the principles of communications receiver-and-transmit- ter techniques. Each course in industrial arts offers students a chance to find and develop their special abilities and skills.
