In the classes headed by Mr. Thacker, the drafting student had to have a clear mind and a steady hand in order to develop his drafting skills. The Pre-Drafting student learned the basic principles of draftin g such as the proper procedgures, the use of instru- ments, and the basic lettering techniques. After mastering the basic course, students went on to the more advanced courses of Drafting I, Il, and III. In these courses the students learned more highly skilled tech- niques, such as drafting com- plete house blueprints, delicate instruments diagrams, and motor graphs. Thus, after two or three years of such training, the stu- dent had a sound background in draftin should he choose to follow tiis profession. ,c .-Q3 Mr. Thacker teaches by lecture and by his own work.
