HOFFEDITZ Head of Industrial Department WITH the arrival of victory in Europe our training of industrial workers for the war effort slowed down and by the time school opened in September 1945 our entire shop facilities were at the disposal of boys enrolled in this department. That was the tempo when school opened but con- stant changes keep us on our toes. Now we are receiving excess machines from the government to add to our total num- ber of training stations. The additional machines are causing us to do consider- able rearranging in some department. Also with the close of hostilities our men are returning home. These men want to get to work and want to learn how to do this job. This wanting uto learn howl' is the motive back of our having evening classes for adults. Some of these exten- sion classes will no doubt sometime be included in our daytime program. So we are ever alert to one good turn deserves another-turn. 30
