GRA ll UPENING I lll l'llMlillll 700 new students . . . enroll at Boys' Tech as the fall semester begins. With the 1500 old students returning, our enrollment reaches 2200, the highest mark for several years. Unveiling the machinery . . . is an important activity in more than one shop. Here we see some of the Print Shop boys taking the protective paper covering off the linotype machines. Program changes . . . are among the early semester head- aches of Mr. Francke, and the line begins on the first day.

Trade machinists . . . are enrolled by Mr. Held, head of the Machine Shop. You may pick your favorite machinist. but we recognize Budziszewski, Griebler, Majszak. and Ciuczka. Orientation . . . of new students is another phase of opening week. For that purpose, Freshmen are divided into manageable groups to learn about and to be shown about the school.
