" This
is
a
photo
of
two
unidentified
men
making
wood
patterns
at the
Hower
Vocational
High
School
in
Akron
,
Ohio
.
One
man
appears
to be the
teacher
while
the
other
is
clearly
an
apprentice
or
student
. The
Hower
Vocational
High
School
was
founded
1927
by
Blanche
Hower
, a
widow
of
industrialist
M
.
Otis
Hower
. She
wanted
to
establish
a
vocational
school
where
men
could
learn
a
trade
. The
original
classes
were
mechanics
and
woodworking
. The
school’s
popularity
grew
with the
end
of the
Great
Depression
when
need
for
trade
schools
greatly
increased
. The
school
added
programs
focusing
on
printing
,
sheet
metal
,
plumbing
,
drafting
and then
commercial
art
,
auto
collision
repair
,
aviation
carpentry
and
welding
. In
1941
, the
school
welcomed
female
students
and
offered
programs
in
costume
design
,
sewing
,
retail
selling
and
cosmetology
. In
1971
Hower
Vocational
High
School
was
combined
with
Akron’s
Central
High
School
and was
renamed
Central-Hower
High
School
