They are Aldridge, Barker.

Clark, Fulkerson, Murphy, Morris, Snead and Winkler from the auto mechanics and Brown, Conway, Gann, Gabbert, Goff, Groscurth. McDaniel, Rouse, Westmoreland and Davis from the electrical group. The system of marking used in the trade school is very simple and is intended to follow as closely as possible in business procedure. If the student's work is of such character that the instructor would be willing to pay for it if he were in business than that work is called satisfactory and the student is so marked. If the work is such that no pay could be given then that work is unsatisfactory and is so marked and must be done over.

In business work is either good enough to be paid for or it is not and the worker either holds his job or is fired. The objective of the Trade school is vocational efficiency and everything that is done in the school should follow as closely as possible business practices, according to Principal C. F. Criley.
