For that reason, the younger students are introduced to both and their various branches. Thus he gets a view of the whole field, To provide for his choice we have two shops, the letterpress shop and the photo-otitset shop. In the first the boys learn the various kinds ot type, composition lboth hond and automaticl, the use of various kinds of power presses and the small iob presses, the difterent kinds of paper stock including cutting and cost estimation - all this under simulated shop conditions ln the sec- ond shop the boys learn camera work, plate making, stripping, layout, and the operation of the offset press. Both shops are provided with high speed multilith presses, a knowledge ot the operation ot which opens up jobs in many business houses. Our graduates in printing should be prepared to do apprentice work in any of the various fields of printing. Stripping lnserting Feedboard Micromete e su l Q at 'P' st? -N

Bench Work Slzeef meh! Slwp When we first enter the sheet metal department, we ore introduced to the tools and the machines we will use in our worlg. Some of the tools we become familiar with are- the riveting hammer, the rivet set, and the airplane snip. Of machines we learn the use of these: the burring, the thick edge, the crimping, and the sheet iron folder. ln sheet metal work we must acquire proficiency in measuring, cutting, braking, forming, riveting, double seaming, ond soldering. Layout work is an important part of our work. The parallel line, radial line, and triangulation are emphasized. All types of fittings are developed by these methods, and by'the time we become seniors we are able to Icy out by one or more of these methods fitting for air conditioning systems, ventilation plans, warm air units, and ship yard work, The theory behind our work is taught to us in related science and related mathematics.
