PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Years of developme nt and experience add growth and stature to an organization. As we approach the conclusion of our seventh year of operation- it is evident that this trade school is no exception . Our courses now more nearly meet the needs of our industrial community; our faculty is united to accomplish our many objectives ; our facilities are constantly improving ; the caliber of our student body has been upgraded ; the demand for our trainees is greater than we have be e n able to fill ; and the school has won a place of accept­ance in the minds of the public .

An amount of $240 , 000 has been expended during this year to provide training for the area's future tradesmen . Approximately 1800 individuals have participated in day a nd evening training pro­grams offered by this institution. Many attended to learn trades, others received related instruction to complement their on-the - job apprenticeship training , and still others have received training to supplement skills already acquired.

The 1954-55 s chool year has been one of tremendous progress! The long ran g e program for remodeling of the building continued forward ; overhead doors were installed in the auto painting depart­ment , the cafeteria was completely renovated and some new equip­ment purchased to facilitate the operation and the property has been safeguarded by the installation of a chain link fence . Plans for impr oved electronics , electrical and painti ng departments have been approved and are scheduled to be completed by September. Additional parking space has been allocated which will alleviate the congestion. Civic organizations , public spirited citizens and stu­dents rallied to our aid and obta ined a legislative appropriation in spite of political oppositi on . During the year the second project house was completed by our building trades students . Numerous special schools have been conducte d in cooperation with training ­conscious industries. Enrollment reached capacity early in the year and more than 300 prospective students were placed on waiting lists anticipating entrance.

The years immediately before us will be among the most inter -eating of all time . Already we are in the midst of an economic re -adjustment occasioned by war and inflation . Even as this is taking place , however, we must contemplate even greater changes , for the new products of industry and science are changing the world as we know it. The world of atomic power will no more resemble the world of electricity and steam than our world resembles the period before the industrial revolution.

In a world where rapid change is the order we cannot place our faith in material things . We must look forward and prepare our­selves for the things w e know lie ahead. The assurance of being prepared will permit us to face our future confident that we will be equal to the challenges which lie before us. Faith in ourselves and in our way of life will keep us strong.
