Sparks and Masked Men - This isn't a demolition team sabotaging a bridge. Rather, it's the other way around: a car did the dirty work by smashing into railings of the Wall Street bridge over the Huron River. Pierce and Bud Patton are welding the damaged section. (Staff Photo By Jack Stubbs)

MEN FROM MARS?: No, they're students of welding in the Ann Arbor Public Evening School learning how to operate an electric arc welder. The piece of metal on the welding table is not visible because of the brilliant glow, the only light used by News Photographer Eck Stanger in making the picture. Behind the masks, worn to protect eyes from the blinding light, are (left to right) Jerry Marsh, Richard Straith, William Maier, Lewis Walther and Richard Gillespie. Welding is one of about 45 courses being offered adults in the spring semester. Courses include culture and leisure time business, homemaking and industry subjects.
