After World War II ended, the G. I. Bill provided education tuition to the veterans to continue their education.  It was decided to offer classes taught in the Trades school to the veterans.  Hundreds of veterans used this benefit to learn a new trade or advance their skills.     *    Unofficial numbers compiled from multiple sources **    Numbers from class photos ~    Approximately
