Harry Pitcher (kneeling, far left), the engineer in charge of construction of the new Clover Park High School shop building, supervised the laying of the cornerstone on March 10, 1941. The $16,000 shop building was part of the national defense education service project. It was financed 50-50 by the school district and the WPA.

Planned courses include metal and wood working, blueprint reading, machine drawing, pre-aviation and completion of high school studies.
