(Pres. Harold Latham.) Parents and friends of the gradu- ating class, in behalf of the Class of 1916, I extend to you a most hearty iand cordial welcome. It is with regret that I speak these words, for it means that we must leave this school, never again to enjoy, as pupils, its privileges. The pleasures of the past two years | have been many, but the moral and intellectual benefits derived, the friendships formed, the power of self- control acquired have been far more. What one gets out of school is in proportion to what one puts into it. Opportunities are limited only by the ablility to take advantage of them. Shakespeare has sald: “There is a | tide in the affairs of men, which taken {at the flood leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the vovage of thelr life is bound in shallows and in miserfes."” Our opportunities have been made possible by the generosity of the school board, the co-operation of the parents and untirthg efforts of the | principal and the teachers, who have, with their everead advice, helped |to make our two years successful. If it, had not been for these efforts, the pupils would not have shown such a fine class spirit, nor would they have taken so deep an interest in the school nor have heen enabled to complete the interesting and fine work designed for them. With this in mind the pu- ! pils were prompted to choose for ! their class motto: “Loyalty Binds U | We cannot leave without acknow- jledge a debt of gratitude to all those, | who have made possible the Civic \ league, which will always be remem- |bered by the class of 1916. It has been an important factor in prepar- ing us for the problems that face us. In closing, T must say that we leave this school, the principal and the teachers with a deep feeling of regret. Prevocational Grammar School. (Mabel Louise Hultgren.) As time progresses inventions are being supplied to the people of the world for their convenience and com- fort. Better educational methods are also introduced; and New Britain as you know is extremely fortunate in having one of the best school sys- tems in the country. The school board has looked into the long avenue of the future and the members have been especially careful that the future men and women of the city shall have as good an education as pos- sible—and they have been generous. They have provided us with a school n which are taught the fundamentals ' of professional, commercial and in- | dustrial vocations and through their | efforts New Britain shall be a growing | city noted not only for its hardware | but also for its men and women that the New Britain schools turn out as their product. We who are graduating this morn- ing have an especial interest in the Prevocational at is was built during the time which we have spent in the school. It is hardly necessary for me to state that there are four courses from which the pupils may select upon en- tering the school—the General Course for boys and girls; the Business and English Course for boys and girls; the Practical Arts Course for boys and the Practical Arts Course for girls. The General Course is the regular Grammar school course of long stand- ing and is designed to prepare the pupils for the English Course of the High school. The essential subjects of this course are English, history, arithmetic and literature. Some time Iso given to manual training, domestic science, penmanship, drawing, debating and dramatization. The study of English naturally oc- cupies an important place in the program of the course and more time is devoted to it than to any other subject—the aim being to train the pupil more effectively writing and to gain some knowledge and appreciation of literature. One phase of the work in literature consists of the study of the master- pieces of English prose and verse. An interesting feature of the work, is the work done in dramatization. starry banner, is dustrial courses or the Practical Arts for boys and Practical Arts for girls is to acquaint the pupils with a large numbr of industrial occupations at a rather éarly period of his life. This introduction acquaints him in a gen- eral way with the tools, materials, processes, and operations of each of the several occupations. The comple- tion of a number of the trade courses enables the pupil to wisely select hi vocation in the industrial field life's work is to be in industry. If you were to enter Room 207 in the Prevocational building you would find yourself in a large, well-lighted and well-equipped room. Upon in- specting the work of the boys in the in speaking and | The purpose of the introductory in- | if his I AMMAR SCHOOL C OM MENCEMENT Wa ——' lclass you would learn that it is the drafting room. These boys are learn- ing a new language, a universal, tech- nical language—mechanical drawing.

This department i asked to make mand hand lettered signs, posters and announcements for meetings, entertainments and other school events. Some of the boys who are good in mathematics, who have more than an average ability in drawing and who are interested in the work have de- cided to follow up this course in the Vocational High and become draughtsmen. Many people have very little idea as to the actual results accomplished in the woodworking department, Four rooms, one in the Grammar school building and tnree in the Pre- vocational building are occupied by this department. These shops are well equipped with benches, tools ~nd other necessities for the construction of practical problems. The instruc- tion is of a practical nature and the boys are trained for actual service in the school workshops In addition to the regular shop work many repairs on the school building and grounds are made by this department. The construction of the bank and store which is used by the pupils in the commercial depart- ment and of the bicycle shed in the rear of the Grammar school building was no small project ror this depart- ment. The department has been the utmost as it is called upon to fill orders not only for the Prevoca- tional Grammar school but for all other schools in the school system. Some of the work done by the pupils this year for the school were plant stands, window boxes, bulletin boards, flag holders, pencil holders, tyepwriting tables, bookcases, book rack ends, wooden looms for use in the kindergarten, nine play houses for the various kindergartens in the cit and many other articles, too numer ous to mention, showing much care and skill in workmanship. The boys in the machine shop have an opportunity to gain a good con- ception of this trade by learning the fundamental principles of the ma- chines and tool The shop is very well equipped. It contains six inch engine lathes, one speed lathe, one milling machin. one planer, one upright drill press, one sensitive drill press, one wet tool grinder, and a power saw. There is also a long work-bench to which are attached ten vices: The power is fur- nished by a ten-horse power motor. Tathe work consists of plain cylin- drical turning, taper turning, thread cutting, filing and polishing. With the milling machine the boys are taught how to use the dividing- head for milling square and hex. h is designed with the use and instru- architectural includes the the draw- and of taxed to surface milling. " Before using the drill-press, the pu- pils are taught the method of laying on the work and how to drill and ream a hole. The bench work consists mostly of filing and polishing: The work of this department is done from drawings furnished by the draughting department. Time is also given to shop arith- metic which is necessary to the skilled machinists, Talks and discussions tions to observe in the , machines, selection and 5:)1]'1 machine tools, and | tunities in the machine industry are also a feature of this course. This department is also called upon to fill orders for the school system. During the year each eighth grade boy was permitted to make a small toolmaker's hammer for himself.

The instruction is limited to house wiring, two lessons being spent on bell work and the rest on lighting exercises., These exercises are done on large wiring boards with ceilings, which provide an opportunity for overhead work. The pupils work in groups of three on a board, the one working in the center being the lead- er of the group. At the close of the lesson the leader marks each member of the group on the quality and quan- tity of work done. Should one of the group excel the leader workman- ship, he is made leader. The progress and made individual, object, with in instruction fs agonal shafts in connection with plane | felt | encouraged to progress as rapidly as possible. The occasional and bells in various buildings, and the repairing of switches, sockets and other fittinas add to the variety and value of the work. Approximately twenty minutes of cach lesson are given to the arith- metic of the trade. The department furnishes opera- tors for stereopticon lanterns, a optician and the pathescope used the various schools Print Printing is considered as one of the desirable forms of public voca- tional education and is becoming a popular school subject The teaching of printing able for a number of reasons. first place, it is one of the industries of the country wages paid compare favor those paid in other industrie ing skilled labor. The pupils who enter into this vo- cation not only receive valuable train- ing of the hand and eve but sound mental training as well. Printing is a valuable aid to training in the use of correct English. It teaches spell- ing, punctuation and composition. Mis- takes in Knglish, whether in the spell- ing of words, in the punctuation, and in the grammaticai construction of sentences are much more noticeable in print than in writing. The pupil being required to take, read, mark, and correct his own proof, until it is free from errors will have correct forms impressed upon his mind in the most effective way., The pupil who studies printing also receives valuable training in arith- metic and in the keeping of simple accounts. The cost of any particular job involves the cost of stock, compo- sition, press work, and various other charges. As printing is a also valuable for school wor for its product is usable in the school and in the school system. Some of the products which our print shop has turned out this year, are school stationery, various kinds of cardsand tickets and programs. Therefore we can see that the pupils who have taken up this art have not only received training in the technical and mechanical sides but also on the social side because the very fact that the product is usable in the school fosters a feeling of helpfulness, and relates the work of the shop to the other activities of the school. Instruction in the Practical Arts Course for girls is centered ironnd the activities of the home, it being confined to every day problems in household management, home deco- ration and sewing. Specialty work, correlated drawing and design work are also important features this course. This work includes picture mounting, calendar mounting, hox making, the making of seating plans, portfolios, filing en- velopes, cardboard trays for the kin- dergarten and the repairing of books and maps etc. This department also furnishes work for the entire school system. In sewing much stress is placed upon the making of practical things, that are used about every home, sir- ple -sewing which every girl know how to do. These lessons in- clude a preliminary review in various stitches, the making of but- ton holes, patching, darning, etc. When the girls accomplish these cxer- cises well, the making of wearing ap- parel, embroidering and crocheting are taken up.

This department is also called upon to furnish articles needed in tkre school. 2 Often in passing through the sew ing room the girls can be heard sing- ing as they sew. The work done in cookery, honuse- wifery and laundering is also of terest. In cookery the girls learn the manner of preparing food as in hoil- ing, baking, canning, steaming. stew- ing, frying; the serving of foods: the purchasing of foods; and something of food values.

The club is named in honor of Mr. James Shepard of this city, who is a great lover of na- ture. Meetings of the club have been held weekly and the object is all the knowledge possible of the ( habits and peculiarities of the wvari- ous birds inhabiting our vicinity, and to endeavor to save any from being wantonly killed. In the fall after the migratory birds had left for the south, the nests were collected and their wonderful con- struction examined and studied. Dur- ing the winter months feeding tahles and bird houses were convenienily placed for the use of such birds as stay with us during the cold wealtl A chart of seventy birds, since Janu- ary 1st is now hanging in the class room. Some of the club members are able to imitate the of our most fa- miliar ones. During the present vear the pupils have spent one period a week in ithe gymnasium. The general plan of the instructor has been to give some tics, free exercises, apparatus work and a short period of games In each lesson. The equipment consists of a supply of dumb-bells, clubs and wands, parallel bars, jumping stand, climbing poles, ropes and basket-hall outfit. During the fall and winter the gym- nasium was in constant der nd for captain ball and basket ball contests.
