 Bal 's Shop's Rated Best in City Setting up a hi-fi set, crawling under a beat-up Ford, sanding down a hope chest, or learning the printing trade provide a panorama of Bal's top-rated Industrial Arts Denartment.

Mr. Karl Schwarze's, department head, directed the energies of the woofer and tweeter boys whose curiosity about electrical gadgets led them to Electric Shop. Up- stairs in a cubbyhole by himself was Mr. Nick Germano, considered throughout San Francisco as one of the best men in the field of typography. Whether producing cards, programs or book markers for the entire school, Mr. Germano's printing classes always revealed their tutor's high standards.

Mr. Andy Vavauris, whose sparkling clean auto shop is considered the envy of San Francisco, found time to run the gamut of teaching the working of a four-barrel carb to a four speed box.

Metalshop, woodshop, mechanical drawing, filled out the offering of the Industrial Arts department.
