Paint Shop ln the 'Paint Shop various kinds of work are done. This includes brush painting, air brush work, sign painting and decorating. VVhen new boys enter the shop they are taught the basic principles of painting, such as careof brushes, preparing woodwork, sandpapering, and riming. This gives the boys the feel of handling brushes. Ladders, waste paper baskets. :md small pieces of furniture are usually assigned as first projects. Learning how to mix and match colors is a very important part in the painting trade, which takes years of study and practice. There are hundreds of different kinds of formulas to be thoroughly understood. This trade calls for a good, intelligent boy to become later a first class journeyman. -Melvin Ralph Top Row: Frank Garcia, Laurence Bonito, Joe Baretta, Joe Quartuecio.
