Display from a Career Day at Sandusky City Schools

The undated photograph above was given to the Sandusky Library Archives Research Center by the Board of Education of Sandusky City Schools. We do not know the exact location or date of the event, but judging from the styles in the display (labeled Careers), it looks to be from the 1930s.  The career-themed display seems to suggest that one could leave a small town, and find a career opportunity in a big city. 

Several forms of transportation are featured in the display. 

At least a portion of the display was created by Wayne Braun. His name appears at the left side of the image below. Wayne K. Braun was listed in the 1994 Sandusky High School Alumni Directory as a member of the class of 1932 and a retired Architect. 

In the 1940s and 1950s (and possibly earlier), Sandusky City Schools, in cooperation with the Ohio Apprenticeship Council, offered several adult education classes in a variety of skilled trades. Banquets honoring the students were held each year.
