Once World War II in Europe and the Pacific ended, returning veterans were anxious to get a career in place. Pictured is the 10 a.m. Men’s Barbering class at the Downtown campus. Courses for men’s barbering and women in cosmetology developed long waiting lists. The popularity expanded the programs and provided many new careers for graduates.
