First Graduating Class from Local Technical School The first class of the civilian Automotive Technician School has completed its training here and will officially graduate at the Post Thea ter at Fort Crook tonight. One hundred and sixteen women mechanics will receive diplomas cer tifying the completion of an inten sive and rigorous course of training under the leadership of Head In structor Russell Davisson and a com petent staff of proved mechanics. During their course of instruction, which embodied learning to drive the heaviest army trucks as well as acquiring a thorough knowledge into the most intricate ; mechanical me chanisms, the women have proved themselves capable of handling any automotive problems which hereto fore have been considered a man's Job. .Upon entering the school here some months ago, the novices were referred to as students of the Civilian Automotive Technician School. The graduates are now full fledged mem bers of the Women Ordnance Work ers, and as such, will be sent to various posts where they will take over jobs of men who will take up more active war duty. . Citizens of Plattsmouth, along with thousands of other patriotic Americans, are aware of the progres sive work of the school in efforts of furthering the war effort to a swifter conclusion.
