V O O O O ,. ,,.,.- To us has been accorded the honor and privilege of presenting within these pages not only the events of the year of 1935 but also a bit of the history of Old Elm and Burgard that comes to us as a part of our heritage from a quarter of a century of progress dating from the inception of our school in a basement room on Broadway in 1910 up to the present. In commemorating this Silver Anniversary, our purpose is to pre- serve, for the days when we too shall be num- bered with the Alumni, those associations which shall become dearer with the passing of the years and at the same time pay just homage to those who have had a part in the building of that school spirit of which we all can feel so proud. That these pages may serve as a happy memory of the past and an inspiration to our successors to Carry On to new heights yet to be achieved is our earnest hope.

With the publication of this Silver Anniversary year- book, THE CRAFTSINIAN pays tribute to a quarterfcentury- long struggle in this city, which began formally for us in 1910, when the Broadway Vocational School was started. lt was the forerunner of the present Burgard Vocational High School, and was established by Mr. Henry P. Emerson, Superintendent of Schools, for the purpose of offering vocational education in the printing trades. Messrs. Francis H. Wing, Director, William B. Kamprath, Principal, Edward T. Welsh, and John C. Heinike witnessed and took an active part in this struggle during its earliest stages and followed it through to the present date. They have seen the whole develop- ment from beginning to end and can recall many of the important miles-tones in vocational education passed during these twenty-five years. Our school was born in the basement of School No. 44 on Broadway and Krupp Streets. Dr. Louis .l. Knell was principal, and he, together with Mr. Kamprath and Miss L. Spinner, ninth grade teacher, purchased a little press and some type to get out a school paper. Two small rooms, one for shopwork and one for bookwork, located at opposite ends of a long basement corridor, were used by this first vocational printing experiment. Our equipment consisted of 20 frames containing 200 cases of type arranged in series and 50 cases of body type, one C. 81 P. 10x15 Gordon press, one Boston wire stitcher, one Potter proof press, one C. Sz P. proof press, one C. 81 P. paper cutter, one Rouse mitering machine, one New York drying rack, two imposing stones and other necessary printing office accessories. The slit basement windows permitted the afternoon sunlight to stream into the shop in long narrow streaks and illuminate the Hframes and casesw in real cloister style. Dr. Arthur D. Dean, then chief of the State Divi- sion of Vocational Education, wrote on the flyleaf of one of his books which he presented to us in 1911, MThe School of Tomorrow will have a printing press. You are SILVER ANNIVERSA . BROADWAY VO CA showing the way. Here was born the school that showed the way which finally culminated in the build- ing of the new Burgard Vocational High School. The earliest printed circular in existence that tells about Broadway Vocational School is dated July, 1910, and states that '4The Department of Industrial Training offers courses in Printing and Bookbinding. The aim of the school is to furnish a practical education for the boys who expect to work at skilled trades and vocations without neglecting their general training. - ln 1910 there was a meeting of the Typothetae of Buffalo in the Washington room of the Old Genesee Hotel which stood on the site of the present Genesee Building, and the Needs of the Printing School were discussed. The speakers were Mr. R. J. Hausauer, Dr. Arthur Dean, Mr. F. H. Wing, Dr. Louis J. Knell, Mr. William B. Kamprath, and Mr. E. T. Welsh. About the same time the members of Typographical Union No. 9, with Mr. Charles Kinskey as president, held a meeting in which they offered their co-operation and support. Efforts of public vocational schools in many cities to teach boys how to work, to think, and to play have not always availed against civic apathy, but as. Mr. Wing says, 4'Some ideas have within them, a triumphant qual- ity that is bound to win. This has been the case in Buffalo. Our four fine new vocational high schools tes- tify eloquently to the quarter century of progress that has been made. This silver anniversary book strikes a note of con- gratulation for all who have had a part in this great enterprise. It is hoped that this effort on the part of our printing students may be inspiring enough to open a few windows through which the sunlight may stream as it did in those basem-ent panes in 1910 and throw more light on the problems of the vocational high school and its heroic possibilities in the new industrial and scientific era now dawning. H E C R A F T s M A N THE SCHOOL OF PRINTING .... A short time after the basement experiment which was known as the Broadway Vocational School began, there was a concerted movement started to lift this struggling infant from the cradle of its birth and place it in an environment which would be more conducive to its growth. Sponsoring this movement were some of the leading employing printers of the city as well as representatives of the printers' union. The interest shown by these two groups culminated in a meeting at which all present were agreed on the advisability of moving the school to a point nearer the heart of the printing industry. After the facts were presented, resolutions were adopted requesting the city officials to acquiesce in the proposal, and a committee was appointed to present the proposi- tion to the proper authorities. Fortunately for the future of the school the authorities saw the wisdom in the request and approval was immedif ately granted. Now that the first step in our desire to get closer to the heart of the printing industry was accomplished, the next move was to find a building suitable for school purposes. After a time a store, located at Michigan and Tupper Streets, which seemed to have the floor space needed for our enterprise, was rented by the City, and we were delighted with the prospects of setting up shop in the new quarters. There were two large rooms on the first floor and several smaller ones on the second floor. The first floor rooms were chosen for the shops, and the rooms on the second floor for bookwork. During the summer vacation of 1912 the trek from Broadway and Krupp Street was begun, and by the time school opened in September we were moved in and rarin' to go. At the time the Broadway School equipment was being moved another exodus was taking place. Seneca, which began a year before the Broadway School, also had a printing department. This was moved from Seneca to the Michigan and Tupper building and combined with the Broadway unit. Thus the union of these two units formed the School of Printing. Like most new ventures, the start of the School of Printing was small. .lust a handful of pupils showed up SILVER ANNIVERSARY . . . . THE SCHOOL OF PRINTING on the opening day. No time was lost, however, in devis- ing plans to recruit a sufficient number of boys to B11 the classes. A contest was started, and a small hand-lever printing press was offered as a prize to the boy who brought in the greatest number of new students. This method of recruiting may have had its faults but it was highly successful, for it was not long until all the classes had their full quota of embryo printers. The School of Printing went along serenely for two years offering courses in typesetting and presswork as well as the customary bookwork. Both day and evening classes were conducted and some of Buifalo's successful master printers and many of her capable journeymen got their start in this institution. lt is interesting to note that the first part-time class in the State of New York was begun in this school. A class of printers, apprentices receiving instruction in hand composition, presswork, English and Mathematics met one afternoon a week. A number of employers permitted their apprentices to attend this class with no loss of pay. Another interesting bit of history which had its origin in the School of Printing was the organization of the Ben Franklin Club. This Club is still in existence but oper- ates under a different name. The Club is now known as the Junior Craftsmen's Club and is affiliated with the Buffalo Club of Printing House Craftsmen. Membership is confined to Fourth Year Printing Students of Burgard, and it is considered a distinct honor to claim member- ship in this club. ln two year's time we had completely outgrown the Michigan and Tupper building. The popularity of voca- tional education warranted the expanding of our print- ing courses and the introduction of additional types of work. To do this the School of Printing must find larger quarters. About this time the new Technical High School at Bennett Park and Clinton Street was opened and the School of Printing inherited the building on Elm Street made vacant by the removal of Tech. The School of Printing, as a name, then passed from the picture for in the new building we became Elm Vocational School. New and greater things were done here, the story of which is told on an accompanying page. -:-rw . v-rn 2 --qw-yrw mga mam! ,vmzgnm .cfm gafyqz-ggP-:fE'ffi:g.a1f 5 V .1 V 1,,v,.-sf., we ny ffflif'-'i?'gi4!S.w5-1,1,fQ5e H- 2 . .-fwwsvfff T9 414 f..

The School of Printing, which was located in a rented building at Michigan and Tupper Streets, became the Elm Vocational School on its removal in September, 19141, to the old Technical High School building on Elm near Eagle. Elm started with just the printing courses. ln 1915, a course in carpentry was started. This only lasted one year and was then superseded by a pattern- making course. At this same time two other courses were inaugurated: machine shop practice and auto- mobile mechanics. ln November, 1916, the first CRAFTSMAN was pub- lished. This was not like our CRAFTSMAN of today but was a quarterly school journal. The year 1917 saw many new happenings for the school. The first four-color process printing was done in our school print shop. The first linotype came to Elm, being loaned by the Mergenthaler Linotype Co. The first vulcanizing machine was purchased, as well as the first oxy-acetylene torch. Special evening courses for drafted men, prior to their induction into service, were started. The annual custom of Open House and Exhibi- tion Night was begun. This year also saw the purchase of the first piano for the school. ln 1918, the War Department commandeered Elm Vocational School, during the summer, for the training of Fighting Mechanics. During all of the years of war, Elm went L'0ver the Top on every Liberty Loan drive, Red Cross drive, etc. The rehabilitation courses for wounded and disabled soldiers started at Elm in 1919 under the supervision of the Federal government. It was in this year that the Elm Tribune made its appearance as the school paper in place of the CRAFTSMAN. This year also saw the first Alumni reunion of Elm graduates. The real beginning of Elm's expansion came in 1920 with the rental of Annex No. 1. This was a three-story brick building at 111 Clinton Street. Storage battery work was begun in this year. All through these years the night school was becoming more and more crowded, until in 1921, it was necessary to establish a waiting list. The annual school play found its beginning in this year, the first production being Dicken's '4Christmas Carol.'7 SILVER ANNIVERSA ....ELM VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Prior to 1921, a student, to be admitted to Elm, did not necessarily have to be a grammar school graduate. With the requirements of the trades being raised, the standard of the school kept pace, and starting in this year, no student was entered who was not a grammar school graduate. The CRAFTSMAN as an annual was printed for the first time at the close of 1921. The second and third annexes were rented in 1922. Tire vulcanizing was then offered for day school students and tailoring was opened for the rehabilitation students. The school colors of blue and white were officially adopted in this year. All the courses were two years in length. In 1922 twelve students remained for third year work which was the beginning of advanced courses. Two more annexes were added in 1923, they being Nos. 4- and 5. The other two outstanding events of this year were the opening of aviation work and the holding of the first night school graduation. Our automobile work was growing so rapidly that in 1924 Annex No. 6 came into existence. Added to this, because of the close of the rehabilitation work, we had the facilities of the rooms and shops that they had oc- cupied. In 1925, Elm kept up its expansion. Annexes 7 and 8 were rented. It was also at this time that the need for a new school was greatly felt. Meetings of business men were held for the purpose of presenting this need to the Board of Education. It was on March 2, 1926, that the first hearing for a new school building was held before the Board of Education. This was followed by many hearings until on December 27, 1927, the Board of Ed- ucation accepted the Burgard site and voted 31,000,000 to build the new Burgard Vocational High School. In the meantime Annex 9, a Gospel Tabernacle, was rented for assembly purposes. The first leather bound edition of the CRAFTSRIAN made its appearance this year. The Elm Flying Clubs were organized in 1928, and the first regular aviation courses were offered. The lithography course was started a year later. During the last few years of old Elm, a tremendous expansion of registration in both day and evening school resulted in the turning away of many students, pending the opening of the new Burgard Vocational High School. BURGARD VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL .... It was on May 1, 1925, after much planning by Mr. Kamprath, Mr. Wing, and the faculty, that the first official meeting with Superintendent Hartwell and the Board of Education was held for the purpose of showing the need for a new school for Elm. Many maps, charts, and graphs, showing the growth of the day and night school classes were presented. On June 1, 1926 the Board of Education voted to purchase a site and requested 351,000,000 for the new building. The next move was to get the council to vote for this project. The first hearing before them was held on .lune 5, 1926 and was attended by a large delegation. This was followed by two more council hearings on June 18 and September 10. On September 21, 1926, Henry P. Burgard offered to donate a six acre site on Kensington Ave. for school purposes. This was then followed by another hearing before the Board of Educa- tion on October 12, and a fourth Council hearing on October 15. At each of these hearings the backers of the new school filled the chambers. The fifth Council hearing was not held until May 14, 1927. Finally at a meeting on December 27, 1927 the Board of Education accepted the six acre site on Kensington Ave. and voted to name the new school the Burgard Vocational High School. On December 28, the Council formally accepted the site and voted the 31,000,000 appropriation for the building. The groundbreaking took place on May 7, 1929 and from then on the construction moved rapidly. The cornerstone was laid on November 23, 1929. Mr. Henry P. Burgard, with a silver trowel, started the ceremony of the cornerstone laying. He was assisted by Mr. Henry Jerge, President of the Board of Education and Mayor Schwab. Many business men and school men were in attendance. 1 On September 8, 1930, the doors of Burgard Voca- tional High School were opened for students. The building however was not completed. Many of the rooms and shops had not been finished. The top layer of cement had not been laid in the corridors, which made it necessary to close off parts of the corridors and certain entrances and exits at different times. Naturally, there SILVER ANNIVERSA . . . . BURGARD VOCATIONAL I-IIGI-I SCHOOL was no linoleum in the rooms or corridors. There was constant noise from hammers, electric drills, grinders, etc., which at times made it almost impossible for the conducting of recitations. There was practically no equipment in the shops. The printing students spent half a day at old Elm on the old presses, and the other half day at Burgard in bookwork. The studentsi desks, bookcases, etc. had to be brought from the old school. There were neither chairs nor tables in the cafeteria. Everybody had to stand during lunch period. There were no seats in the auditorium. In fact, it was several months before the cement floor in the auditorium was laid and even after it was finished, there were still no seats and ustandingw assemblies were in order. Many rooms had no blackboards and the shops had no tool rooms. In fact many shops had few tools. The gym- nasium floor had not been laid. However, during this time and after it, interesting developements have taken place at Burgard. Our first football team was organized in the fall of 1930. The first Bulletin appeared at Thanksgiving of 1930. In March, 1932 the Memorial Tablet to teachers was placed in the lobby. On November 4, 1932, the members of the art section of the New York State Teachers Association, Western Zone, met at Burgard for the first time, and have met here each year since then. Burgard was the first school in Buffalo to install talking-picture apparatus. This was in November, 1932. The first school dance was held in November, 1932. The first annual musical concert by the Burgard band, orchestra, and glee club was given on Wednesday evening, Decem- ber 21, 1933. Burgard Vocational High School received its charter as a four year industrial high school from the Board of Regents in September 1933. The first School- masters meeting to be held at our school was on March 6, 1934. In J une 1934, the first regents comprehensive shop examinations were given at our school, as well as the regents in English III and IV and American History. The last big event was in November, 1934, when we scored our first football victory over Seneca. Burgard Vocational High School has made great prog- ress, and hopes for greater progress in the future. RY TIOS .... The year 1935 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the institution now known as the Burgard Vocational High School. From a small experimental beginning, en- dowed with a very limited appropriation, housed in a building which no one else was willing to occupy, scantily provided with second hand and cast oif equip- ment, there has developed the present institution, oc- cupying a proud place in the educational program of the city of Buffalo. The twenty-lifth anniversary is properly an occasion for sincere congratulations and best wishes. It is safe to say that no unit in the Buffalo public schools is more definitely established in the public re- gard than is Burgard Vocational High School. lts record has been one of steadily improving accomplishment. ln its constant progress toward the achievement of a fine ideal, its present principal, faculty, and student body have demonstrated beyond all possibility of doubt the wisdom of maintaining, supporting and developing the institution. My sincerest congratulations and best wishes to all of you. NGM W, f A, ---.-H' , A- ,J W' , g-W-, , 1 . Q e -. - , - f r, ',1:T'r'1 fY-'1 ,TH .1 '-1,'Z'Li cf?

To have planted the tiny seed twenty-five years ago, and during a quarter of a century to have nurtured its growth until today it stands a spread- ing fulfilment of your fondest hopes, is cause indeed for personal and pro- fessional pride.

BAPST Associate Superintendent A To the Faculty and Students of Burgard Vocational High School: My sincere congratulations to you upon the arrival of your institution at its twenty-fifth birthday. While twenty- five years is a short time in the history of an institution, it is long enough to prove the vitality of the idea behind it. And when this birthday arrives- and the institution is thriving like Burgard, it is also evidence of the competence of its teachers and administrative staff. As I look back at 'the meager beginnings of Burgard, and its frail infancy, I am deeply impressed with the good fortune of your school in being the realization of a sound idea developed by a master- ful personnel. 0 , Pri Supervisor of Vocational Education f19 . . fr . ik , -, '. g '- -fl .. -Wt, ,.S1',f':..-' : .. f- ..4', ,- t-. ,. .M .a.x..s.-. -4-1-..n..-. e.- --Jm.-...-.....

There is only on real failure in life possibleg and that is, not to be true to the best one knows.-Canon F adrer This is Burgard's twenty-fifth anniversary year. You belong to the silver jubilee graduating class. That in itself is quite a distinction. ,lust think of how fortunate you were to have inherited all the good things in voca- tional education that resulted from a quarter century of progress. This morning I looked over the archives of this school and delved into the records of ancient days and recalled that the iirst graduating class numbered four members and the exercises were held in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Today, after twenty-five years, we find several of these graduates still in Buffalo and holding positions of trust or engaged in business concerns of their own. 2' ' What was happening in this World of ours in 1910, the year our school came into existence? Well, we may mention the fact that Commodore Peary discovered the North Pole, that King George of England was crowned the same yearg that the Boy Scout Movement was started in America, and an aviator made the first trans- continental flight from New York to California in 84 hours. Now it is done in 8 hours. What wonderful prog- ress has been made! While we are tuming back the pages of time let us note that this year, 1935, also marks the three-hundredth anniversary of the first public high school in America., the Boston Latin School. In town meeting assembled, on the 23rd of April, 1635, the good citizens of Boston decided to open a school and voted nthat our brother, Philemon Porrnont, shall be intreated to become school- master for the teaching and nourtering of children with us. This resolution ushered in America's first high school and brought along with it the Durwe's Board for stupid and lazy scholars, the Dutch Plaks, to slap naughty hands, the famous Hornbookg the Stocks, where boys' feet were locked while the master gave whippingsg and the Quill and the Sand Cup, for drying pages wet with ink. On the wall, there were usually specimens of the Mastefs writing, to prove that he could do it. What changes have come about in schools! Compare Burgard with its modern, scientific, mechanical equip- ment with the HHornbook and Stocks. Yes, indeed, you graduates of the silver jubilee year are to be congratulated. May you always recall with thankful hearts the twenty-fifth and the three-hundredth anniversary years. Our best wishes go with you. ltvvvlf-MVQIK, SILVER ANNIVERSARY Frank Szafranski President Frank Pierowicz Secretary Raymond Fiolli Class Historian CLASS OFFICERS 27 George Krnasky Vice-president Michael Melnik Treasurer Charles Eggert Class Prophet I23l HE CRAFTSMA CL SS HI TORY .... Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books. -Colton. In September, 1931, at the termination of a joyous summer vacation, a large number of youths between the ages of twelve and sixteen applied for admission to Burgard. Of this group only about three hundred were admitted. A personal interview was held with each pros- pective freshman, and elementary school report cards were also considered in determining which boys were best qualified for a place in the school. We felt bewildered during the first few weeks after our entrance because of the complete change from our grammar school procedure. Our new responsibilities loomed largely before us and the task we had set for ourselves seemed difficult, indeed. As time elapsed, however, we became accustomed to the routine and our greenness gradually disappeared. New and staunch friendships were formed which were to last throughout the four years of our stay at Burgard and, as we hope, for many years into the future. During that first year many of the boys who later were to distinguish themselves in the field of sport or in scholarship made their first bid for fame, Shy, quiet, Frank Szafranski went out for football, the sport which eventually was to give him a place on the all-high foot- ball team. Frank Pierowicz, also a quiet, unassuming student, joined the baseball squad and laid the founda- tion which was to give him a place on the all-high baseball team. Both of them also began an enviable record in scholastic work. In this year Mike Melnik and Ray Fiolli began their training for spectacular work in baseball and George Krnasky went out for football. During the second year, we found that splendid in- struction and excellent equipment made learning easy and we were glad to display our superiority as sopho- mores. Those who returned for the second year began to strike their stride and many fine scholastic and shop- work records were made. This year Charlie Eggert and Carl Patti began to establish a record in football and Hank Meidel began to limber up for cross-country. As the next year rolled around, we felt even more the guidance of Mr. Kamprath and each of our instructors. We felt that we were well on the way to our goal and began to put forth greater efforts. We were proud to call ourselves Juniors of Burgard. During the fall of this year, Charlie Eggerfs fine work on the gridiron SILVER ANNIVERSA ....CL ASS HISTORY resulted in a wave of popularity that swept him into the presidency of the Junior Class. Frank Szafranski, who made an enviable record in football and who was later to make such an enviable record in basketball, was elected vice-president of the ,lunior Class. In this year Burgard drew the attention of the whole school department by attaining an outstanding attendance rec- ord. For the entire year our school led all of the second- ary schools and several times led the entire school system. We Juniors felt justly proud of our share of this remarkable record. When school opened last September for the fourth and iinal year of our class, all that remained of the large Freshman group that started in 1931 was one hundred and twenty prospective candidates for graduation. Those of us who remained were proud of the fact that we had reached the coveted stage of Seniors. We felt especially proud to be members of the class that marked the 300th Anniversary of the high schools of America and the Silver Anniversary of Burgard. Many notable celebra- tions took place during this year in which it was our privilege to take part. Among these was our victory in football over our traditional rival, Seneca, after a five- year effort. In addition to the athletic members of our class, who continued to distinguish themselves, two other members deserve mention. Robert Mayer attained a fine scholar- ship record and was appointed Editor-in-Chief of THE CRAFTSMAN and Robert Wilson, with an equally fine scholastic record, was appointed head of the Mechanical Staff of THE CRAFTSMAN. He designed the yearbook. The leaders chosen for our senior year were students who had distinguished themselves both by their scholas- tic as well as their athletic records. They were: Pres- ident, Frank Szafranskig vice-president, George Krnaskyg secretary, Frank Pierowiczg treasurer, Michael Melnikg class prophet, Charles Eggertg and class historian, Raymond Fiolli. We now look forward to graduation with pleasure tempered with regret. We are, we feel, well equipped to earn our own livelihood in this competitive world. We regret leaving behind the happy times and good fellowship we knew at Burgard. It is the hope of every graduate that the future students will support our Alma Mater loyally and earnestly, as we have tried to do. lil.

What we know is very little, but what we are ignorant of is immense. -Laplace. The 1934- Burgard football team was one of the best teams that Burgard has produced since the start of this sport in 1930. Mainly responsible for this was the dili- gent, sympathetic, and able leadership of Lawrence Menig., coach of the team. Together with this able coach- ing and leadership we had a fair supply of good material, and the fine support of the student body and faculty. Many outstanding players were developed dur- ing the course of the season. Most outstanding was Frank Szafranski. On the line were Stanley Toporczyk, center, and Charles Eggert, a brilliant end, who com- pleted many a spectacular forward pass that netted a long gain or a touchdown. Most outstanding in the back- field we had George Krnasky, Burgard's triple threat man, who did most of the kicking and running and who threw the passes that Charley Eggert completed. Next to Krnasky was Vernon Nablo, the hard plunging full- back, who could hit hard both on offense and defense and who was the main reason for Senecals defeat. Burgard had three really outstanding, thrilling, and exciting games when the team rose to great heights, playing spectacular football, and turning what seemed to be certain defeat into brilliant victory. The first of these was the game with Grover Cleveland when the team was behind, but came back in the closing minutes to earn a tie. The same feat was repeated in the game with Hutchinson, but Burgard enjoyed its greatest athletic thrill in the game with Seneca who finished in a tie with Fosdick-Masten for the Harvard Cup leader- ship. The score was 13 to 0 against Burgard at the end of the first half. Burgard came back with an unmatched fighting spirit in the second half to score two touch- downs and the extra point that spelled defeat for Seneca. SILVER ANNIVERSA ....VAR ITY The miracle team of the Yale cup series and a team of real hard fighters, players who were never beaten until the last whistle. Such is the reputation that the Burgard basketball team won for itself during the past season, which will be remembered as one packed with thrills and full of tense moments. Under-rated from the start of the season, the team was considered the underdog in nearly every contest throughout the season. It wasn't until the team had defeated foes of the highly-rated teams in the series that Burgard was considered danger- ous and a contender for the title. Mr. Carcea had a squad of veterans with which to work but more important than that was the fine spirit of the squad. This group was led by the brilliant star, Frank Szafranski, choice for All-High guard for the past two seasons. Szafranski will always be remembered, not only as one of the best athletes in the history of the school, but also as an athlete who gave all that he had in him that the team might win. Other outstanding players who will serve Burgard again next year are John Nowak, Paul Miller, Herb Zollitsch, Carl Miller, Jerry Deskiewicz, Norbert Oswald, and Joseph Bogdan. Many of the teams in the series were very evenly matched and nearly every game was closely contested. Fosdick-Masten won the cup with a clean record but had many close games on its list. Burgard finished in second place with ten victories and two defeats. We had two games which required extra periods before the issue was settled. The first was with East which ended in our favor after one extra period. The second was with Riverside and in this game three overtime periods were played before we won.

Pulling the unexpected and coming from behind to score victory seems to have been a common thing in athletics during the fall season. That do or die spirit that characterized the football team developed the same spirit in every member of the Cross Country team. With several veteran runners on hand Mr. Garcea had the difficult task of devloping new boys to replace the graduated members. Nearly 60 boys answered the first call for candidates about the middle of September and about one-half that number found the sport interesting enough for them to stay out for the entire season. Several fine athletes studded the list of barriers at Burgard. Most outstanding was the captain, and excel- lent middle and long distance runner, John Thomas who is the oldest veteran on the squad. Thomas, a most dili- gent worker, won every dual run and was record holder for the short course. Thomas was also record holder for the long course during the 1933 season. Close to Thomas all season we had Henry Meidel and Donald Almy who were both good, consistent performers. The dark horse and surprise runner was Richard Natello, a freshman who ran equal to some of the best runners and helped Burgard score victory in the final meet. McKinley with a veteran team was the defending champion and favorite in the final meet. Seneca was also rated ahead of Burgard because both McKinley and Seneca had scored victories over Burgard in dual runs earlier in the season. Burgard had its team well hunched in the final race and scored a surprising victory with 35 points. Seneca was second with 49 points, McKinley third with 52 points, and Peckham fourth with 138 points. SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1935 E591 . .VARSITY HOCKEY Burgard's interest and ambition in hockey dates back to 1927 when the first hockey club was organized by Mr. Pierce. Every year since that time Burgard has had a hockey club which has served the interest of many boys in the school. Interest in this sport has increased to such an extent that it has been necessary to build a hockey rink for the past three years. The rink is built each year by prospective members for the hockey club and is the scene for numerous skating parties for the school as well as a practice place for the team. It had been Burgard's ambition to have an official team in competition with other high schools. This ambi- tion was satisfied this year when the school was granted admittance to the Michigan Cup series. Burgard entered the series with the same spirit of confidence and hard play that is characteristic of all Burgard teams and the team had a very successful season, finishing in third place in the hockey series. The team was a comparatively green one but made up of good material, mainly from the football squad. Some of the huskies who graduated from football into hockey are William Irish, Captain Vernon Nablo., Neil Frank, William Schaeffer, and Donald Swan. Others who devel- oped into outstanding players are Bernard Cunningham, James Devine, Eugene Euler, William Houck, Leon Tanner and Allan Becker, who became one of the best series goalies in his first year in hockey. Frank Yeorg, Burgard's scoring ace, won the highest honor, having been selected on the All-High mythical hockey team. Assisting Mr. Pierce in hockey was Mr. Carberry.

I U I l Young men frequently accomplish ' great things because they recognize no limit to their abilities. This year will be the second year that the vocational schools have played in the Cornell Cup series. Burgard made a fair record in this series last year in winning four games and losing six, thus finishing in a tie for seventh place. With a veteran squad of players Burgard should improve its position in the final standings this year. When the call was issued April lst, over 100 candi- dates tumed out for the team. The weather was such that practice had to he held indoors for two weeks. This practice was limited to regulars only and served as a means of conditioning those players who were to open the season. All other candidates had to wait for a break in the weather before being given a fair try-out for the squad. Burgard was successful last year in having a player selected for the All-High mythical team. The hoy to earn this distinction was Frank Pierowicz, pitcher and right fielder, who will he Burgard's mainstay again this season. Every position will be occupied by a veteran player this year. Those who will occupy these positions are as follows: Catchers, Walter Pierowicz and Neil Frank, Pitchers, Frank Pierowicz, Ray Fiolli, Julius Crieco and Frank Yoergg first base, Joseph Bogdang second base, Paul Millerg shortstop, Mike Melnikg third base, Clarence Reichg right field, Ivan Hummelg center field, Frank Szafranskig left field, Charles Zamorskig and utility infielder, Carl Miller.

Among the vet- erans returned this year are George Krnasky, last year's hurdle winner and this year's captain of the squad: John Thomas, star middle distance runner and captain of last year's track team and this year's cross country teamg Ray Hoeltke, 440 runner, Fred Roath, 220 runner, Franklyn Grundner, shot put, and Charles Hintermeier, pole vaulter. Earl Haas., the only veteran broad-jumper, met with an accident early in the season and therefore could not compete. To supplement these veterans many new candidates have been developed and once more Burgard has an excellent track team to compete with other vocational high schools. The athletes who have proven best in their events are as follows: 100, Alfonse Cizanckas, Thomas Bingham, and Carl Patti, 220, James Salinardo, Fred Zeitz, and William Telaakg 440, Leon Tannery 880, Casimer Michalski, and Stephen Mazurg high jump, John Neuner and Irwin Heissenberger, pole vault, Sam Soter and Charles Hintermeierg shot put, Howard Waifg and hurdles, Herbert Zollitsch and Roy Russell. So far this season Burgard has been most successful in all three dual meets. Competition between Burgard, Seneca and Peckham has been very keen and it will therefore be a toss-up as to which school will win the All Vocational Meet on Tuesday, May 28th. Burgard has defeated McKinley 'UM to 23V2, Peckham 63 to 32 and Seneca 48 to 47. Coach .......,..... ...,.,....,.

Without method there is no organizae tion nor construction.-Buluzer. Volleyball is in its third year as an interclass activity and proves to he more interesting each year. This pop- ular sport affords a great number of students a chance for competition. The boys are taught how to play the game during the regular gym period. After several weeks of practice, teams are organized and a schedule is drawn up. I This sport dates from March lst to April lst each year and is used to fill the gap between the winter and spring sports seasons. All of the roll call groups entered the series this year and 42 teams were placed in an elimination tournament. Each team in the series is allowed a maximum number of 10 players in a game and nearly every team had he- tween 6 and 10 players on the court. Each team played three games of 15 points each and the winning team was placed in the next succeeding round and the losing team was automatically dropped from the tournament. In order to complete the schedule, we had to play six sets of games each day. It was quite a thrilling sight to see twelve teams, employing over 100 boys, daily engaged in this wholesome form of recreation. The games were sponsored and supervised hy Mr. Garcea, Mr. Nevins, and Mr. Lynch. The Senior Aviation group, 431, was the most success- ful in this sport and won the school title. A trophy was bought this year and this marks the first time since this sport was inaugurated in this school that a cup was presented to the winning team. Following is a list of the champions: Group 431, Senior and School Champions. Group 100, Freshman Champions. Group 250, Sophomore Champions. Group 300, Junior Champions. SILVER ANNIVERSARY ..I TERCLASS BASKETB LL Interclass basketball is the first sport of the fall season and dates from October lst to December lst. There is keen interest in this sport because it serves as a means of picking candidates for the varsity basketball squad. Varsity players, who are not permitted to play inter- class basketball, act as officials for all games. The boys most active in this capacity were Frank Szafranski, Paul Miller, Herbert Zollitsch, John Nowak, Russell Renda, Joseph Bogdan and Carl Miller. Every roll call group in the school entered the series this year making a total of 42 teams, divided into 10 leagues. Each team played a minimum of 3 games in a round-robin tournament. The ten league winners were then placed in an elimination tournament that deter- mined the class and school championship. Four games each day for a total of 72 games were played during the season before the winners were determined. Interest ran high, teams were all evenly matched, and all games were keenly contested. The upper classmen proved to be rather weak this year, but the freshmen produced some rather outstand- ing teams. Group 100, a freshmen automobile group, won the school championship, but met with strenuous opposition from Group 200, the sophomore champions, who lost by the score of 7 to 6 in the playoff series. This marks the first time in the history of Burgard that a freshman group has won the title. The following groups were crowned champions: Group 100, Freshman and School Champions. Group 200, Sophomore Champions. Group 331, Junior Champions. Group 450, Senior Champions. 641 THE CRAP '- SMAN I TERCLASS B EB LL .... Interclass baseball at Burgard dates back to 1931 when the school was first opened, and has always been one of the most popular athletic activities. Baseball is truly the American pastime. Each year we have a great number of boys interested in varsity baseball and every year we have a large number disappointed because they cannot make the varsity team. The disappointment is not as great as it might be though because these boys can all turn to interclass baseball. This phase of the athletic program places in competition about 500 boys, the greatest number that any one activity can employ. The league this year has 41 teams competing and is the largest in the history of the school. These teams are divided into ten smaller leagues with each team playing at least three games in a round-robin tournament. The schedule is aranged by Mr. Garcca each year. Balls and bats are furnished by the physical education depart- ment and Mr. Marks and Mr. Altmann have been super- vising the tournament ever since interclass baseball was inaugurated. Two games are played every day on the field opposite the school., and some postponed ga.mes are added at Brookis field occasionally. Students olliciate at these games and most active in this capacity are Harold Wittman, Irving Fritsch, Fred Krueger, Edward Kenney, Stanley Kush, Donald Almy, and George Hilderbrandt. This series has its beginning about the middle of April each year and ends near the middle of June. This early in the series no winners can be determined, therefore, we present the captains in the yearbook. Following are last years winners: Group 202, Sophomore and School Champions. Group 161, Freshman Champions. Group 302, Junior Champions. Group 401, Senioir Champions. SILVER ANNIVERSARY E651 . . .. CHEERLEADER The admission of Burgard's athletes into the tradi- tional cup series of the Buifalo High Schools has made necessary a more intensive program for the use and training of good cheer leaders. Burgard has never lacked that spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation which is essential for winning teams hut the force which is required to unify and focus this spirit can he brought about only by an organization of trained leaders whose objectives are to arouse, control, and direct its audible expression. The squad of cheer leaders this year is composed of William Rhote, Fred Tucker, and Edward Smutek, who received their initial training and experience last year, and three new aspirants to this honor, Domonic Tambu- ranno, Carlton Dick, and Henry Marlinski, whose inter- est in newer methods should do much for an improve- ment in technique and response. Cheer leading, although grouped with athletic activi- ties, is not seasonal but is active throughout the entire year not only in connection with sports but also in every other school activity which merits support and encour- agement. Contrary to common opinion, leading cheers is not a simple job, but rather one which requires natural ability and a great deal of application and practice. More than any other activity, cheer leading permits the assumption of a prominent place in the eyes of the student body which fact makes it imperative that the candidate be a type that offers, good example and inspiration to his fellow students. lf successful in their efforts, cheer leaders, are re- warded at the end of the year by an expression of apprepiation and commendation in the form of the coveted varsity B. OOO! Politeness is like an air-cushion, there may be nothing in it, but it eases our jolts wonderfully.-Johnson. ORCHESTRA .... I l O O I know no such thing as geniusg it is nothing but labor and diligence. V -Hogarth. As in past years, the orchestra has completed another season of faithful service. It has offered much oppor- tunity for orchestral experience to young players because it has appeared before the student body every other week during the school year. Special efforts were made to prepare selections suitable for the Christmas enter- tainment, Open House Night, the School Play, and the Graduation exercises. The greatest effort of course is put forth when the Musical Clubs are presented in a concert which took place on Friday, June 7th, the orchestra appearing first on the program playing Proces- sional Triumphant, In the Clock Store, and O17 Man River. The members of the orchestra are: Henry Podsiadlo, Joseph Ostrowski, Alfred Teschemacher, Carl Pedersen, Robert Runnerstrom, Melvin Pravel, Stanley Borowiec, Carmen Marchese, Erich Stephan, Floyd Knapp, Nathan Andrews, Ralph Mahler, James Bagel. Clark Nesbitt, Guy McQueen, Paschal Cardarelli, George Davis, Wilbur Merk, Bernarr Cervi, Sigmund Bazela, Paul Ulicky, Irwin Heissenherger, Adam Sergiej, Stanley Chodkowski, James Keehley, Lester Loehr. Joseph Mach, Chester Kaminski, Alhert Herman, Theodore Mueller, Raymond Holtke, Stephen Dembski, Anthony Kano, Walter Dabrowski, William Graf, Harold Harley, Edward Lewis, William McMahon. The concert was very successful and a novel effect was obtained by using the new stage platforms built by the boys of Peckham Vocational High School. This arrangement provides three levels from which to play, much like some of our modern shows. The experience, knowledge and confidence gained in music by boys who take part in all the affairs mentioned above, are worth while. Parents who read this article and know that their boys have musical talent or are interested in playing an instrument, should make sure that these boys are active in some Burgard musical unit. SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1935 E67 . . . . ORCHE TRA' There are many aiiairs during the school year which demand the service of a dance orchestra, and Burgard was fortunate again this season in having a very excel- lent dance orchestra. Rehearsals were held after school and good spirit was shown by the boys who contributed small sums regularly to buy new dance selections. The dance orchestra appeared in assembly several times, played after the All-High Concert held at Hutchinson, at the Night School Graduation Dinner, the School- master's Dinner, the Flying Club Dance, the Faculty Anniversary Party, the School Play, and after the Musical Clubs Concert. As is the case with all musical units, much rehearsing is necessary before the organization sounds good. This is especially true of dance orchestras in schools. Much of this music demands considerable technique for the rhythms are diliicult. We have been fortunate in having an excellent dance band and this, of course, is the result of hard work. During the year the following boys have been in the dance orchestra: Clark Nesbitt, Guy McQueen, Paul Pastora, Wilbur Merk, Ed- ward Lewis, Carl Pedersen, Bernarr Cervi, Albert Herman, Joseph Mach, Stephen Dembski, Raymond Hoeltke, Stanley Borowiec, Anthony Rano, James Keehley, James Bagel, William McMahon, Stanley Chodkowski. To have experience in both the School and the Dance Orchestras is indeed quite an opportunity for a boy. When he graduates, not only has he completed his academic and shop requirements but he has also taken a wealth of musical knowledge, experience, and enjoy- ment with him. F ew things are impracticable in them- selvesg and it is for want of qpplicatinn, rather than of means, that men fail of success. -Rocheloucauld I68:lp GLEE, CL .. 1 I l HE CRAFTSMAN The Glee club continues to he an important part of Burgard musical activities. As is the case with the other musical clubs, scholastic requirements do not permit much time for rehearsals. Taking this into consideration, we feel that the musical clubs as a whole have made good progress. All of the Glee club material is four part and although the members have had to work hard to learn their parts, the spirit has been good and the work enjoyable. The club appeared in assembly and presented a group of songs and also took a prominent part in the Christ- mas program. Most of the effort this year was put into working up selections for the annual Musical Clubs Concert in which this group takes a very important part. We regret that requirements would not permit appear- ances outside of the school this year, but hope that in time to come, it will be possible for us to visit and sing for other schools and in turn have them sing for us.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1935 i691 ....QU RTET The quartet is quite a busy little organization and, although considered an important part of the Glee Club, it rehearses at different times and presents many more songs. These boys have appeared at many assemblies and have been especially helpful in assisting when pre- senting new songs to the student body. They use the microphone which has been a great help. Two mem- bers, Fred Niell and Robert Runnerstrom, won places in the voice contest last year and Neill was chosen to represent Burgard at the Pittsburgh Music Convention, where he spent a week. Both boys have appeared at many functions and presented vocal solos. The quartet also appeared on the Thanksgiving program, Christmas program, Open House Night, Night School Graduation, .lune Graduation exercises, and many affairs outside of school. Names of the members are: lst tenor, Fred Neill, 2nd tenor, Adolph Fandlg baritone, Bernarr Cervig bass, Robert Runnerstrom. At the beginning of the year Louis Sarna was a member but was forced to leave school. We are losing two of the members by graduation and so the present group will be broken up. Boys in the quartet have received much attention and instruction, and have gained much through the experience of facing many audiences. This will certainly be a help to them in later life. alla The quickest way to do many things is to do one thing at a time.-Foster.

The great secret of success in life is, for u man to be ready when his oppor- tunity comes.-Disraeli. The Junior band was organized for the express pur- pose of preparing its members for next year's senior band. The membership is composed of students who started playing their instruments at the beginning of the school year, and who have made suitable proficiency in their practice work to enable them to participate in ensemble playing. Membership in the organization is entirely voluntary, the aim being to give the ambitious student an oppor- tunity to advance more rapidly by ensemble playing than he would by playing his instrument alone. The band is fortunate in having a full instrumentation among its members. The rehearsals of the junior band are held every Thursday at three o'clock. This arrangement is made necessary by the schedule of our director of music, Mr. Norman A. Weis, whose time is divided between Burgard and five grammar schools. It is hoped that in the near future the time for rehearsals of the junior band may be provided in the daily schedule. The fol- lowing students are members of the junior band: Clarinets: Wilbert Berryman, Henry Sewcyk, Douglas Perry, James Williams, Anthony Paolucvi, Cesidio DelPrince, JohnWojlas, William Simon, Paul Ulicky, William Burchalewski.

Throughout the entire year this organization played at every other assembly program to equal the number of appearances made by the orchestra before the student body. Early in the season football was the current sport and the Band played at almost every game, winding up the season with a big parade with the Drum Corps and student body following over to Seneca field where Burgard was victorious. Many special programs were presented by the band in connection with Lincoln's Birthday, Washingtonls Birthday, Thanksgiving, the Parade of the Flags pro- gram, and the Christmas program, at which time a brass ensemble played an unusually colorful medley of Christ- mas melodies. The Burgard band was also well repre- sented in a brass ensemble that played at the Teachers Convention in November. Flag Day always Hnds the band and Drum Corps busy and there is always a Mem- orial Day program. The final effort of the school year is the Musical clubs concert, in which the Band plays an important part. Band experience is much different from orchestra experience and is certainly of great value to a boy who wishes a well rounded music education. The membership of the Band is about 50 which is slightly less than last year's membership because many were lost through graduation. Rehearsals are still held during school hours but rigid scholastic requirements and the fact that Mr. Weis, the director of the Band, has only two full days at Burgard, cut the number of rehearsals. Every man is the maker of his own fortune.-Dryden.

The great consulting room of a wise man is a library.-Dawson. The Burgard Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps had 1tS inception in old Elm when' Mr. Kamprath met wlth several instructors and suggested organizing a musical activity which could perform at outdoor school func tions. The organization of a Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps was decided upon as the most appropriate for the purpose. As a result, an outfit of about 35 boys under the direction of Mr. Dell, Mr. Fee and Mr. Henderson was assembled. Mr. Samuel .lanowitz later become the drum major and continued in the capacity until he severed his connections with Burgard. The Drum Corps was prominent in all of the activities at old Elm. After moving into Burgard we were fortunate 1n securing a complete new set of Drum Corps instruments which consists of 24- fifes, 10 drums, 12 bugles and 2 bass drums. Each year, in September, there are opportunities for new members to fill vacancies created through grad uation and thus an opportunity is afforded boys to learn to play instruments and take part in functions in which the Drum Corps participates. During the past year the boys played at the Burgard Seneca football game, several basketball games. the flag day ceremony, school assemblies and the annual moving up day exercises. The Drum Corps meets regularly each Thursday at which time instruction on the drum is given by Mr. Dell. Mr. Fee is in charge of the fifes and the bugle section is conducted by Mr. Urban. With the con tinued interest shown by the boys we hope to develop the corps to be the most popular extra-curricular activity at Burgard. SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1935 E731 ....HAR The Harmonica Band pictured below was formed during the present year. It is a branch of the Hobbies and Models Club. The harmonica is an inexpensive instrument that gives an outlet to a boy's musical incli- nations and to most boys the playing of one comes as natural as whistling. It often leads them to take up the study of band and orchestra work. Like any other endeavor, the playing of a harmonica reflects the amount of practice, and may result in the studcnt's being able to play a simple melody or take part in a full band orchestration such as Boris Minno- vitch and his group render on the stage and over the air. Sigmund Kurowski, a player of no mean ability, was elected leader and undertook the formation of the nucleus of the band. He met with Wilbert Berryman, Walter Serviss, Ernest Peter, Edward Bernasuk, Benja- min Spiesz, Joseph Vacanti, Robert Redlein, William Jamieson and Jack McMullen regularly every day for two weeks before the announcement was made in assem- bly. The announcement resulted in a swarm of applica- tions for membership. Mr. Weis, our music director, aided us by testing each applicant and the boys men- tioned above gave their time in coaching beginners to play simple pieces. Mr Weis again stepped in and assisted at practice by playing the piano, separating the ton-es, polishing up the endings and generally smooth- ing out the rough spots. The addition of Frank Kozlowski's piano accordian completed the group, and a trial exhibition was given at the regular Wednesday assembly. The effort put forth in practice was amply repaid by the reception of their tirst attempt and another after-school activity was added to the long list at Burgard.

Yet from all those years comes an uninterruptedxrecord of service between students and school, whereby the students of Elm and Burgard have earned values not required by the cur- riculum nor measured by marks: and these values lie in the student activities. The following clubs and ac- tivities make a record crowded with the most cherished memories. Long after the work of the shops and class- rooms has become routine daily task, the joy of living comes from the socializing influence, the hobby habits and personal living contacts arising in these activities. There has been so much, only a general review is pos- sible.

The club offers exceptional opportunities to the boys who like to read, by having a large assortment of good books within the school. One of the main objectives of the club is to interest the non-readers in these books. The sixty-five boys, who are members have donated over one hundred books. The total number is now three hundred and fifty. Each member of the club has the privilege of selecting one book at each meeting. Meetings are held on Wed- nesday afternoons directly after the close of classes. The books may be borrowed for a two week period., and a small charge is made when books are kept over the designated time. The officers of the club act as librarians. They paste the pockets in the books, and make out the necessary cards. lt is also part of their duty to catalogue the new books as they are donated to the club. Every student in the school, whether he is a senior or a freshman, is cordially invited to become a member of this organization. No student can have a truer friend than a good book, and such friendships are well worth cultivating. Make your spare time pay dividends in culture. Fred Fisher, presidentg Leonard Wheatlaread, vice- presidentg and Robert Mayer, secretary, were unan- imously elected and served for the past year. Messrs.

Twice this year those orders have echoed across the stage and each time a group of actors has added another page to the history of the organization. To continue the simile, page one was entitled the MSilence of Godf' a one-act Christmas play, adapted from the German by VVilliam M. Sloane III. This was another of those lovely old miracle plays carrying a message of peace among nations at Christmas time and was enacted by the following capable east: John Neuner, Ralph Mahler, William Simon, Edward Bajer, Carl Gruber, and Chester Collins. Page two was a reprint, so to speak, of two pages from the past, the second revival of that very successful three- act farce comedy, uGive and Takefi by Aaron Hoffman. This play never seems to grow old and the story of industrial democracy that it portrays continues to he delightfully adaptahle for use ill a vocational high school. We present with pride a most notable cast: Marion S. Arent, John Neuner, Charles Hintermeier, Frank Sloan, Edward Kearbeline. Frank R. Mahler. The play this year was in the nature of a celebration of the school's twenty-fifth hirthday and was followed by an Alumni Silver Anniversary Dance in the gym- nasium. Finally, may we take occasion here to commend the work of those who have so excellently staged the pro- ductions and again to thank the members of the casts for their faithful co-operation. .

The names of the people in the plays have become school history and doubtless recall to you as you read them cer- tain mental images of the past. But have you known these people? Did you know that Miss Marion Arent appeared in her first play not so many years ago, at the age of six to be exact, that she plays tennis, is unmarried and lives at home? Carl Gruber was horn in Bavaria, Germany and has been in this country but nine years. He is an honor student, collects stamps, 15 very shy and likes to ride a bicycle. Edward Bajer, before attending Burgard and during his public school days, was a member of the Polish Saturday School Organ- ization where he acted in several plays presentd in Polish. A quiet, retiring young man of our group is William Simon. He has been on the honor roll four out of six times in this, his first year, collects stamps, and has a passionate penchant for the clarinet. We now come to the Brothers Mahler--Frank, the elder and Ralph, the younger. Both are graduating this year, are honor students, are inierested in all forms of athletics, and have earned their major letters in track. We add another name to the musical members of our castsg that of Chester Collins who graduates this year. He has been on the honor roll many more times than not during his four years, plays tennis, is interested in story writing, and plays the violin. Edward Kearbeline, the Cockney .lake and Banker Drum of the past two years, is interested in all forms of sports, has helped to build two gliders and has made two hundred glider Hights. Charles Hintermeier and Frank Sloan are great pals in school and out. Both are graduating this year, are major letter men in track and are participants in all interclass sports. Frank is a first class private in the 106th Field Artillery and Charles, according to his own story, is a great golfer. The last name, but by no means the least, to add to this list is that of John Neuner. John graduates this year, is interested in golf, tennis, poster painting and advertizing art, has a major letter in track and a great and moving ambition to ubreak int0', the movies or 'iontoi' the stage. There is a past which is gone forever. But there is a future which is still our own.-F. W. Robertson. 45. . .tus - If 'f i'. E341 THECRAFTSMAN . 3- .I 1 1 . . 1 1 NGINEERC i 1 ! 1 1 tit Q CL .... The Engineering Club at Burgard is affiliated with the Engineering Society of Buffalo as Junior members. The boys who are members of this club have the same privileges as the members of the Buffalo Society, with the exception that they have no voting power. The Engineering Society of Buffalo was instituted in 1912, and the Junior Engineers Clubs at Burgard have been members since 1925. The Hotel Statler is the meet- ing place of the society, where all the lectures. are given. The office of the Executive Secretary, Mr. Edward Strick- land, is located on the mezzanine floor of the Hotel Statler. There are about twenty-five boys who are members of this club and have attended some of the most interesting meetings on engineering. The outstanding engineers of the United States have conducted lectures on various subjects, which are and have been problems in the engineering field. We wish to acknowledge our thanks to the managers of local plants for the courtesy shown on our visits through their plants. Some of the most interesting and educational material was gathered through these in- dustrial visits. Various plants visited were the Curtiss Airplane company, Consolidated Aircraft company, lr- vin Airchute company, Worthington Pump company, Dold Packing company, Chevrolet Motor company, City Pumping Station and Acme lron and Steel Foundry. The faculty advisers of this club are Mr. Elmer F. Roudenbush and Mr. Frank Howard, and the officers are Robert Mayer, president, Eric Stephan, vice-presi- dent, and Richard Felski, secretary and treasurer.

An acre of performance is worth the whole world of promise.-Howells. Aided by the facilities which the school itself has to offer and given an added impetus towards activity by the friendly co-operation of Mr. Endres, the Rifle Club has experienced a prosperous year. Despite the relative scarcity of competition, an excellent team was coached into shape and proved its ability by turning in some fine scores. It cannot be expected that any organization can be- stow upon its members something which experience teaches best. Yet there has been a very close approach to this ideal within our shooting clique. Although their actual firing has been confined to a fifty-foot range and small bore rifles, most of our members now possess all of the fundamental knowledge concerning rifle fire which will enable them to become expert marksmen at some later date. The club has in its permanent possession three fully equipped, well balanced training rifles. Several of the boys have rifles of their own, while the team uses two heavy-match rifles, procured through Mr. Johnsonis efforts. in all competitive shoots. Upon joining this organization, one will find a unique opportunity to develop the keeness of his eye, the control of his nerves, and to co-ordinate his ability to think with his ability to do. Then too, there is always that tell-tale evidence which rejects all alibis, the target and its holes. Like all good things, this yearis club must come to an end, but not without extending to next year's group wishes for continued success. ANNIVI-:RSA ,1m1,,, - 5 :wma The Marine Club at Burgard is under the supervision of two new teachers this year. Mr. Leonard Huck is in charge of the engine work, which consists of out-board and in-board types, and Mr. John Mutz is in charge of the boat construction and repair work. This year the boys who are in the boat construction and repair group are building a 16-foot double-end powerboat. This means that these students actually con' struct the frame of this boat and then plank and finish it ready for use. In addition to this the group had the opportunity of repairing an in-board runabout. This meant cleaning and inspecting the bottom, making some repairs and painting it inside and out. The engine repair group worked on four out-board engines, one Liberty Motor, given us by the U. S. Coast Guard, and also the engine in the runabout mentioned above. This work consisted of assembly of the engine, inspection of parts, replacement with new parts where necessary, and assembly. The engines were placed in the test tank and actually run. While running, adjustments were made and handling of controls was taught. The runabout engine overhaul consisted of valve grinding, engine inspection, ignition work, and testing. It is the hope of the school that marine work will be one of the regular subjects taught beginning with Sep- tember of 1935. This course will be taught in the evening session at first and eventually become part of our regular day school program. Buffalo is so located that much work is available for men who understand the construc- tion and repair of boats and engines. ...MARI E CL B lf83l X Q HE CRAFTSMAN CAMERA C .... Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm.-Emerson. The Burgard Camera Club has just completed its seventh year and this has been one of its most successful. Early in the year the club was divided into two sections. One section was composed of beginners in the science of finishing pictures, who, hy this time, have learned how to expose, develop and print the photo- graphic film. The other section was composed of a group of more advanced boys. They started out by building a stand of wood from which was suspended a camera for taking pictures through the mieroscope-photomicrographs, as as they are called. In the course of taking approximately three hundred photomicrographs we encountered many difficulties which had to be ironed out before we could finally show the fruits of our efforts. We succeeded in photographing the tiny hairs that cover the surface of a Hy's wing and also the 'Ggiant claw of the famous silk worm. The edge of a newly honed razor blade, we found, looked more like the jagged peaks of the Rockies. Although we made some of the microscope slides used, we secured most of the varied subjects photographed from the Buffalo Museum of Science. Early in June we closed the season by having a hike to Eighteen Mile Creek where we had a Wiener roast. The members who are expecting to return next year are looking forward to new and more difhcult under- takings in the photographic field. SILVER ANNIVERSA E391 . . . . AVIATION CLUB The Aviation Club has been in existence for eight years and was the forerunner of the aviation courses now offered at this school. The club is reorganized in Septem- ber of each year when officers are elected and commit- tees are appointed to conduct the business of the club and plan the meetings and programs for the ensuing year. The meetings are held at three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon of each week in the Airplane Construction and Repair shop, room 4-30, and are conducted by the members under the guidance of Mr. A. T. Lines., faculty adviser. The purpose of this club is to study and stimulate interest in aviation and its allied branches. Committees are appointed by the president. The program commit- tee selects speakers, iilms, slides and does everything else that is necessary to make the meetings as instructive and interesting as possible. The research committee collects all of the possible data covering new develop- ments in all phases of aviation from newspapers, mag- azines and books. They bring all this material to the meetings for presentation and discussion. This club also has a magazine exchange branch in which any member may participate by donating at least vne magazine. This gives him the privilege of borrowing any of the other magazines in stock for a limited time. A large-scale model of an Auto-gyro is also being com- pleted by the members this yea1'. This project has created a great deal of interest and has been very in- structive for the entire group.

Each Burgard senior is given an accredited membership in the Buffalo Club of Printing House Craftsmen which carries the privlege of attending all meetings and enjoying all of the discussions on the various phases of printing. These discussions are given by outstanding craftsmen, as well as prominent men in allied fields, followed by questions from the floor which further clarify the topic in hand. One of the most interesting talks, from the students' viewpoint, was that called 'LType.'7 Gilbert Farrar, ad- vertising expert of the lntertype Company, ably demon- strated by slides and other illustrations, what can he done with a piece of type to make the printed job so attractive that sales of the product increase noticeably. Mr. Harry Jacobs, art director of the Buffalo Schools, gave interesting samples of layouts showing us how the same copy can be made to please all who see it in print. Those Junior Craftsmen who specialized in the Press- work branch of printing were inspired by Frank Wagner of the Warren Paper Company, who, in his talk on Pressroom Problems, presented many interesting meth- ods of overcoming the recurring difficulties which beset a pressman. One of the most inspiring meetings ever to be present- ed to the Buffalo Craftsmen was the three-hour lecture on color. This meeting took place at the Hotel Lafay- ette and was under the direction of the International Printing Ink Corporation. Three speakers, each one of whom spoke for one hour on his particular field, in- cluded a physicist, who spoke on the physics of colorg a chemist, who gave the chemistry of color, and an artist, who spoke on color as we see it. If you would create something, you must be something.-Goethe. PR CTIC L ECHANICS CLUB .... 'OOO Dost thou love life.? Then do not .squandertime for that is the stay? life is made of.-Franklin. This cluh was formerly called uThe Metal Arts Club and for three years specialized in making artistic articles for the home. Students with an artistic temperament here found an opportunity to work out their designs of trays, lanterns, lamps, desk sets, skonces, etc., in brass, iron, and copper. Members submitted free-hand sketches of articles, and of those practical for club projects, work- ing drawings were made. The machine shop with its equipment for hand and machine work was an ideal place for making the necessary dies, forms, and fixtures for this work, Requests for work on projects of a more practical nature were made by students from time to time such as: turning a shaft for a motor, making a chisel or punch, repairing a bicycle, and thus 4'The Practical Mechanics Club was born. This is the cluh's first year of practical work and some of the projects completed or under construction are: sets of mechanicis punches and chisels, a strohoscope, miniature gasoline engines, an enlarging apparatus, for a Memo camera, a motor bob sleigh, an air engine, camera reflectors, an air compressor and many smaller articles. On account of the nature of the projects members are not required to he active during the entire year. This allows new members to be admitted from time to time. The club which has 53 members is one of the most interesting cluhs in the school and boasts a good weekly attendance. 1 SILVER ANNIVERSARY ies ....HOBBIES AND MODELS CLUB This club was organized in 1933 for the purpose of bringing together those students who had not found a place in one of the many other school activities. Their activities at first were coniined to the building of miniature airplanes and boats, and some of the models produced were very fine examples of workmanship. Notably among these were the solid types built by Samuel Soter and Oliver Ganz., both of whom were awarded prizes in the Sky Climbers, contest open to model builders of Buffalo. In the flying model Held another member, John Thomas, won the prize for the longest sustained I-light in a contest held at the 174th Armory. Model boats came in for a share of attention and developed the desire in some of the members to build larger types. This resulted in the construction of three canvas covered kayak canoes with which the builders anticipate a lot of enjoyment in the summer months. Still another branch of the club was developed with the formation into a band of a group of harmonica players. Mr. Weis gave his assistance and direction to the practice hours and the result was a gratifying re- ception in one of the regular assemblies when the band made its initial appearance. The club held regular meetings on Friday, and many extra hours were put in for practice. The club members are Frank Kozlowski, who plays the piano accordiang Sigmund Kurowski, Wilbert Berry- man and Walter Serviss, the leaders of the group and in- structors to the beginnersg Russell Balk, Edward Bern- asink, George I-Iilderbrandt, Ernest Peters, Benjamin Spiesz, William Jamieson, ,lack McMullen and Thomas Hughes.

During the school year 1924-1925 the former Elm Camera Club was organized. By 1926 the club had so broadened its field that it became known as the Science Club. The large membership had a great variety of scientific interests. One feature of those last four years at Old Elm was the magazine libraryg each member who paid his nickel a week in the course of a year was eligible to draw daily from the more than three hundred magazines which included every imaginable technical, mechanical and scientiiic periodical. At Burgard, the wide spread of interests continued until one club wasn't big enough. Members were inter- ested in microscopy, radio, chemistry, electricity, pho- tography, nature study, biology, botany, aviation, zool- ogy and what have you. Quite a number were anxious to specialize in electricity so, in 1934, the name HElec- trical Expcrimentersw was adopted. Since then members have constructed a variety of projects including: rectifiers, home experiment panels with control resistors, liquid photo-electric cells and signal devices, toy motors for the construction of which a prize contest was heldg repaired electric trains, made and repaired crystal radio receivers, and carbon rheo- stats. As a group, the club saw demonstrations and made studies of telegraph systems, remote control, special circuits, electric glass cutting, electric clocks and others. This year's officers were: President, Dominic Tambur- ranog secretary, Albert Petschke. Active members were: Edward Gersitz, Leonard Niemi, Elmer Niemi, Henry Marlinski, Henry Przbcyien, Stanly Knox, Howard Bruce, Emerson Harrison, Charles Anna, and Thomas Hughes. :jr -.iff '. 37: .:'? f2'2:7? f 1'1 f g.1'5'?4fM 4f1f'V .?3'2?gl1l'17315353--H 'rf ' JY' 1 ' - -Q 'ls 5:-.5745-Tgjgjggg y,gQZs:T'?fHi3i'3igicf1--1kgs iii: xg, ' -,-, .'- my 3-,Q-5, Q H-1'-5' aes- 3 . 1 -..-. mg, 1-'.m:gf4 -2.71, .L'f:r,-, 'IH' fs--of t 5 .,5g3',I,155gggf .Q-..mffai'xz'!5a:lf:.1't?rt'm1:.:'Ef?5'Bf-ffx1.iS4 -,.m.Q.u.X'a-1!-.Ja9P1-2- 'L - fhw-1'- -39 M . . . . 15, ,Q f'-xim'x '- wt gfim A,,,fH 1--. .5--.. t-rt ' 6-t '.l.'

Today our 1935 Hi-Y member- ship has increased to thirty-two fully paid Y members. Throughout the school year our regular Thursday program consisted of a swim, business meeting, dinner, and speaker, the members remaining at the Y from 3:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. The high lights in this year's program consisted of the Induction Ceremony in our school library Feb. 27th. the Older Boy's Conference at Niagara Falls, Dec. 7th, 8th, 9th, and the yearly Skating Party at Scott's Rink, Dec. 7th, the proceeds of which added considerably to the school fund. Three degrees are issued which, when satisfactorily carried out, amount to the following: QU That you have been voted into the Hi-Y club. f2aJ That you are a member of some religious organization. f2bj That you attended some older boy's conference. KZCJ That you have read the book written by the Rev. Harry E. Fosdick, 4'Twelve Objectives of Character. t2dj That you visited five professional men. Q31 You must have attained an 85242 average in school subjects taken over a period of ten weeks. The entire Hi-Y working schedule endeavors to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian char- acter throughout the school and community, and attain our objective of Health Betterment, Service Achieve- ment, Mental Development, and Spiritual Enrichment. Officers for the year 1934-1935 were President, Rich- ard Wiedeg vice-president, Raymond Ogdeng secretary, Russell Bollmang treasurer, Wilbur Berryman. HE CRAFTSMAN UBS .... The past year marked a step in advance in the flying club activity. Each year seems to bring new and more interesting problems. The one rather unpleasant occur- ence was the selling of the first airplane which this group owned. It was the Waco 10, which was purchased in 1928 and was sold after it had fiown 2200 air hours and served very well for seven active years. It made our hearts heavy when the new owner buckled himself in and took off for another field. This ship was the means of at least twenty-five student pilots becoming flyers. The Eaglerock, our '6Old Faithful, is still going strong and any Sunday you will see it going up and down when thestudents are making landings. Some work was done on the Eaglerock this year, such as, grinding the valves, reassembling the engine, and refinishing the cowling which improved the appearance very much. In addition the tail surfaces were recovered and finished. We were fortunate in adding a Stinson four place cabin airplane to our force. This airplane performs very nicely. Like the Eaglerock it is undergoing some repairs at Burgard Vocational High School. The wings are being covered and the fuselage is to he inspected and refinished. The Moth airplane was damaged and it was brought into the school for a complete overhauling. This ship is a two place job and has been serving us for three years. There will be some new members in our clubs this year as some of the old ones have either retired from flying or moved out of town. When new members join you can depend upon more activity because of their enthusiasm. If you would like to see these groups per- form just drive out to the Buffalo Airport any Saturday, Sunday, or most any evening during the nice weather, when the days are longer. SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1935 E97 OTIO PICTURE CL Students enrolled at the Burgard Vocational high school should be very proud to be members of the student body of the first Buffalo public school to possess sound on film motion picture equipment. Today, only one other local school shares the honor of having this equipment. A fine Simplex motion picture projector, for use with silent pictures only, was supplied by the Board of Education when we moved into our new building in 1930. A perforated projection screen with a Wright-DeCoster speaker mounted at the rear of it, a Le Roi sound head to convert the Simplex projector for use with sound films, and a Weber amplifying unit were purchased by the school, to enable us to show modern sound films to the student body. The motion picture club was organized to show the finest type of instructional and entertaining films to students of Burgard. Meetings of the club take place Friday afternoons at the close of school. Nine hundred students have attended a single session which closed as late as 5:30 p. m. During the year 1934--35 many fine films have been shown, including Wild Boys of the Road, the Birth of a Nation, College Coach, and The World Changes. The Motion Picture Club, through the courtesy of the Uni- versal Film Company, provides two newsreels per month for showing in the regular assemblies. We have been very fortunate to secure some very fine industrial films. The Ford Motor Company provided us with These Thirty Years, Rhapsody in Steel, and Con- quering Pikes Peak, all very fine instructional films. The very fine productions of the Chevrolet Motor Com- pany, The Great Circle, Spring Harmonies, and a fine three-reel film telling the story of the engineering depart- ment were of immense value to our students. The Play Ball film produced by the Fisher Body Company was also an unusual treat. 1 3 1 .E ,,. x .r X '1 Places do not ennoble men, but men make places illustrious.-Agesilaus. HE CRAFTSMAN PRI TING VIEW .... The Burgard Craftsman is the only project of the year which requires the combined efforts of all the branches of the Printing Department for its production. Conse- quently what could be a more fitting contribution to the Silver Anniversary number than a brief description of THE CRAFTSMAN from its inception to its completion? Soon after school opens in September and months before articles such as this are written, the boys in Print- ing Art are busy with the art work of the book. Sketches are drawn, dummies fblank copies of the bookj are made up, space is alloted for the various departments of the school, and the work of producing the book begins. When the character and color of the book's decorations have been finally approved and the assignments for the material have been allocated, each branch of the Print- ing Department takes up its share of the task. The prepared copy is given to the Linotype Depart- ment, for in modern printing plants the reading matter of a book is composed or put into type by machine. Of the various kinds of typesetting machines used in the printing industry, Burgard has its share. So we see a student operating the Ludlow, a machine which is used to furnish the large lines of type which are necessary for displaying the headings and other featured points of a book. If you look closely you will observe that he is making a slug on which appear the words used in the line at the top of this page. The operation of the Ludlow requires first, that the letters in the line be picked from a type case and placed in a special tool called a stick, and, second, that the stick be inserted in the machine itself to cast a slug from which the line is printed. The body or main portion of the book is set on an entirely diiferent kind of machine-the linotype. The linotype has a keyboard similar to that of a typewriter and is operated in much the same manner. Another student, with the copy for one of these descriptive arti- cles before him, is fingering the keyboard according to the system which he has been taught. When he touches a key a small brass die is released from the magazine above his head. After he has hit the required letters to form a word, a space key places a steel wedge between the last letter of the word and the first letter of the next Word, which wedge automatically adjusts itself to make the spaces between the words of the line. When enough words are assembled to fill the line, a handle at the right- hand side of the keyboard is pressed, raising the line from the place in which it is assembled. From this point SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1935 E991 ....PRl TI G VIEW the action of the linotype is automatic. The line of dies, called matrices, is taken through the machine, molten lead is forced into them, a slug is cast and ejected, and the matrices are distributed hack into the magazine. When the type lines that have been composed on the Ludlow and linotypes have been proofed and read for errors in composition, the corrected slugs are taken into the Hand Composition Department to be assembled into pages. The makeup, as this kind of work is called, is a very important part of the l1ook's production. Each page must he exactly the same length and width, even though this is not apparent to the reader. The student, in the accompanying picture, gathers together the head- ings, pictures, and type lines that will be printed on the page, as well as the number of the' page, and with a kind of material called spacing matter places each in its proper position. He makes the page conform to a pre- determined size, so that it can be locked up for the presses. Books are printed in sections. The pages must he placed in position for printing so that, for instance, page 10 will print on one side and page 11 on the opposite side of the leaf. The placing of the pages of a book in such positions is called imposition and the place where the pages are imposed is called a stone. After the pages, have been placed properly on the stone, a steel frame known as a chase is put around them. Wood or metal spacing material of certain definite sizes called furniture is used between the pages and the chase, while metal wedges called quoins secure the type and furniture securely in the chase. The completed job is called a form. In the other picture on this page is a student locking up and testing a form of THE CRAFTSMAN in which he has im- posed the pages and placed the necessary furniture. As in the makeup, exactitude is an important feature of locking up. Pages must be square in each direction, so that the page which hacks up another page will print directly over the page it hacks with no overlapping on any side. To secure this accuracy, a special steel square is used for measuring. When the form is completed- i.e., squared up, checked, and tested to see that no part of it is loose, it is ready for the press. Now we come to the final stage, so far as the actual printing of the book is concerned. The form is taken to the pressroom, where it is placed on the bed of a Miehle cylinder press. The form is clamped securely on the hed, the press is started, and a sheet is printed. The printed sheet is called an impression.

Making-ready on Cylinder Press O Leveling Impression on Offset Press printing, it would seem that all that is required from this point would be to print the requisite number of sheets and the job would be completed. However, a great amount of preparation must take place before the press is actually ready to run. One of the most im- portant phases of presswork is called makeready. It is in makeready that the skill of the pressman is demon- strated. When you read a book you take for granted the evenness of the appearance of the type on the pages, and the clearness of the detail in the pictures that are shown. If you were to sce the first impression that was taken of the type form after it was clamped on the cylinder press bed and compare it with the impression taken after the press was ready to run, you would readily under- stand the vast amount of work involved in makeready. Makeready is the art of making all things on the printed page print evenly, as well as bringing out properly the detail and tones of illustrations. The press itself consists of a bed for the type forms, a cylinder and cylinder blanket, a board from which the paper is fed to the cylinder either automatically or by hand, and a fly which delivers the printed sheet to a rack at the end of the press. This type of press is called a flatbed cylinder press, and makeready consists of preparing the blanket on the cylinder for running. The first impression of the form is taken to a makeready table where it is examined minutely. The parts which print too heavily are cut out. Building up consists of pasting pieces of tissue on the back of the impression sheet. When the impression sheet has been cut out and built up it is placed on the blanket of the cylinder so that each page will fit exactly over the page of type in the form when the cylinder makes its revolutions. Briefly, the above is a description of the art of makeready. In the picture which accompanies this part of the article, we see a student making ready on the cylinder press. The folding of the printed sheets., the gathering of the printed sections, the printing and the making of the cover is not done at Burgard. This work must be done in a book bindery. While the foregoing is a sequential story of the print- ing of THE CRAFTSMAN, the production of the book re- quires the simultaneous operation of all branches of the Printing Department. The pictured fly leaf is produced in the Lithography shop. The designs are photo- graphed by the photolitho process from the artistis paintings and transferred to an aluminum plate. The plate is etched and placed on the offset press-a press SILVER ANNIVERSARY 35 E101 1, E tif, I , 1 f .aa- ....PRI TI G VIEWS which operates on an entirely different principle than the aforementioned cylinder press. An oifset press prints from the plate to a blanket, then from the blan- ket to the paper, while a cylinder press prints directly from the type to the paper. This student is preparing the Harris Offset press for printing the pages which you find pasted on the inside of the front and back covers of THE CRAFTSMAN. Paper cannot usually be purchased in the exact sizes needed for printing all jobs, so it is necessary to cut the paper to the required size. In the job pressroom of Bur- gard is an enormous Harris-Seybold-Potter automatic paper cutter. By means of this machine paper for any work printed at Burgard can be trimmed to size. So we see a student cutting the paper stock which is to be used on the cylinder press for this issue of the yearbook. It might be well to mention at this point that after the sections of a book are folded, gathered and stitched, they must be trimmed once more. Another part of THE CRAFTSMAN which cannot he han- dled at Burgard is the making of plates from which the illustrations are printed. These plates are called half- tones and are made from photographs of the school and its activities which are sent to an engraving company. To aid in the makeready of these halftoncs so that the various shades of light required to make the picture in- teresting can be portrayed, a process of making chalk overlays is employed. Each picture plate is. locked in a form which is placed on the Laureatte press where an impression is taken on chalk overlay paper. Then this paper is drawn back and forth in a special chalk over- lay bath so that certain lights are etched in a manner to make the other parts of the picture show properly on the printed page. This student is making the impressions for the chalk overlays which were pasted on the make- ready impression sheet that was placed under the blan- ket of the Miehle cylinder press when the pages in which they appear were printed. It is the hope of the students of Printing that with the reading of this article you will have obtained a better understanding of the production of the Burgard yearbook, so that when asked to subscribe you will fully appreciate the concerted efforts of the members of this department who feel that in this, the Silver Anniversary Number, they have provided for you the finest yearbook in the history of that school which has grown during the last quarter century from the Broadway School of Print- ing to your magnificent Alma Mater-Burgard. TOMOBILE VIEWS .... Capacity Test of Storage Battery I Testing Engine with Dynamometer A dingy basement room at old Elm School in the year of 1914, was the birthplace of the Automobile Depart- ment of Burgard Vocational High School. Daylight was unknown in the shop due to its location in the basement near the center of the building. Several incomplete two- cylinder engines and a very limited quantity of inferior tools comprised the working equipment. In 1916 the increased demand for instruction in automobile me- chanics made it necessary to expand the original quar- ters. Two basement shops and a service garage with drive-in facilities were added. Expansion continued until 12 shops and 13 instructors were devoted to automobile mechanics instruction. The thirteen daylight flooded shops of the Burgard Automobile Department, each with drive-in facilities, fine equipment and tools, present a striking contrast when compared with conditions exist- ing at the time when the department was organized. This contrast formulates a yard stick to measure the progress made during the past twenty-one years. Capacity Testing of Storage Batteries. The Storage Battery Construction and Repair shop is equipped to assemble batteries and repair all types of battery ills. The equipment of this shop includes several units for testing the capacity of batteries, burning torches, burn- ing bench, casting furnaces, casting molds, and battery charging units. The storage battery is a dependable, silent, unseen and often neglected servant of the motorist. Day after day in frigid or in warm weather, it responds to furnish energy to crank the engine, create the electric spark to ignite the gas vapor in the cylinder and light lamps. It is a reservoir which stores up energy required to rotate the starting motor. External appearances and dimen- sions have no direct relationship to the capacity or the amount of energy the battery can furnish. The capacity of a storage battery is determined by dis- charging it at a specific rate, usually equivalent to the current consumption of the starter. The test is continued for a period of about 20 minutes, or until the voltage of one cell drops below IVZ volts. The voltmeter, ammeter, hydromieter, thermometer and rheostat are used to make this test. Testing Engines with a Dynamometer. The high standards of performance and efficiency of the modern motor car engines are the result of extensive and untir- ing efforts in the fields of research and experimentation by automobile engineers. The dynamometer has been very closely associated with the engineer in his work, to show him the actual performance of his engine in terms of torque, horsepower, and fuel consumption, SILVER ANNIVERSA T0 OB The Engine Testing and Carburetor shop is equipped with an electric dynamometer for the testing of engines. Engines are connected to the dynamometer and operated under their own power. The dynamometer provides a power load for the engine similar to the power load necessary to propel a motor car up an incline. Meters record the revolutions per minute and figures necessary to compile the horsepower of the engine. The various horsepower ratings registered, with changes in the set- ting of the carburetor and the timing of the ignition system, make a lasting impression upon the student. He is fully convinced that careless spark setting or carbure- tor adjusting do not permit the engine to perform at its best. ln the photograph a fourth-year Automobile Mechanics student is seen checking the horsepower developed by an engine after resetting the ignition tim- ing, to make comparisons of horsepower developed with other ignition timing positions. Analyzing an Engine. Times have changed. Fifteen years ago a car owner never thought of having the engine looked over as long as it ran, but today most manu- facturers and well trained mechanics talk in terms of periodic inspection every ten thousand miles, regardless of how the engine is performing. Most men, when thinking in terms of good health, consider it a good policy to have their doctor give them a thorough physical examination at least once a year. A man might possibly feel in the best of condition but he has considerable more faith in how he feels after the examination. The engine tune-up operation includes the inspection, cleaning, adjusting, and testing of all parts that could possibly improve or interfere with engine performance. The most important factor in efficient engine tune-up service is that the mechanic is thoroughly trained on the various symptoms and the skillful operation of the new analyzers used for this purpose. A few of the most recent methods used for engine tune-up are the use of the vacuum meters to test and adjust carhuretors, a neon light to check the ignition timing, and a special instrument to test the percentage of unburnt gas at the exhaust pipe. The small service stations must use the new modern equipment to meet the competition and convince the customer that certain work is absolutely necessary. Preparing Flywheel for New Ring Gear. Students of Burgard enrolled in the Automobile Mechanics course receive a ten week period of instruction and practice in Automobile Machine Shop work. All work done in this shop is made up of the various types of machine shop work applied in the service or repair of auto- 5 figs: 1 .-f'.f,-1.-Aw-Aida 2'?Q's.eff +i'2' Q- f2-:A-b,e51fFierP ' 'if 'Wm-, --,gf--If-37 +- A, of :L-' A-:sw 'z' -'r r 1 1 f 1-3: 1 '4-Jt1I','f, ' . tiff.

Modern Method of Chassis Lubrication I Truing a Brake Drum mobiles. Some of the practical projects are: making and reaming piston pin bushings, recentering and turn- ing commutators, turning pistons to size, making of special bolts, cutting keyways in shafts and turning fly- wheel ring-gear seats. The repeated use of the starting motor chips and wears the teeth of the flywheel ring-gear. In some cases the teeth are broken when the gears jam or lock. lf the teeth are cut on the flywheel or if a steel ring-gear was used, the old gear is removed by turning it down on a lathe. After removing the defective gear from the fly- wheel a new steel ring-gear can be shrunk in place. When tbe flywheel is turned to the correct size, the new ring-gear should be heated to a low red heat at which point, the maximum expansion is secured. Over- heating of the ring-gear will cause the surface to oxidize and a scale to form on the ring-gear. This will make it difficult to get a good shrink fit. Morlern Methods of Chassis Lubrication. At no time in the history of the Automobile Industry has so much importance been placed on the matter of lubrication as it is at the present day. Many defects, which were preva- lent in earlier models of motor cars, can be attributed to faulty lubrication. Motor car lubrication is no longer the work of an inexperienced Workman. Trained men are required to do this highly specialized type of work. The Chassis and Lubrication shop is equipped to in- struct studcnts to lubricate cars completely, thoroughly, and properly. A greasing pit, a greasing rack, high-pres- sure air-operated grease guns and a chart for every model car, which gives the location of each point to be lubricated and the type of lubricant to be used for dif- ferent seasons, are included in the equipment. To lubri- cate a car does not mean to place a gun loaded with any type of lubricant on the point requiring lubrication. The operator must use good judgment when selecting the lubricants to be used for specific service. Too much lubricant at some points has greater damaging eHects than too little lubricant. The well-trained mechanic knows just how much and what kind to use. Brake Drum Turning. The General Garage Practice shop is equipped to do the regular run of repair jobs brought to general service garages. Engine recondition- ing, clutch, axle and transmission overhauls, brake adjusting and relining, steering gear and front system repairs are made in this shop. A brake drum lathe is a part of the equipment. This machine is used to true and make smooth the surface of the brake drum which contacts the brake lining. The hub and brake drum are placed on the spindle of the tif fee ffm.-fJ:1.t-pry:-- w-:vi-411. fiinliait :i5s2s.s2if.L5ssi L-J.Q:iL. , .pie-,Rb , .,':'Yr'fe- ' ' .. ,A PH' ' , V w '-fqvfv 1' .- SlLVER ANNIVERSARY , -.

The increased road speeds of the modern motor car have placed even greater strains on the brake drums and linings. This severe strain causes rapid wear of lining and drums alike. To attempt to replace brake linings without trueing out-of-round or scored brake drums will result in an unsatisfactory joh. Spray Gun Work. Spray gun painting of automobile fenders, wheels and bodies is incorporated in the Radi- ator and Collision Service Unit of the Automobile Me- chanics course. Students make repairs. to fenders, bodies, hoods and other parts which have been damaged in col- lisions. Another type of work included in this unit is the refinishing of damaged parts which have been returned to normal shapes and the restoring of the finish where the elements and rust have been active. The Radiator and Collision Service shop is equipped with a radiator test tank, soldering furnaces and torches, welding outfits, fender and body straightening equipment, and painting and finishing units. The use of modern rapid-drying automobile finishes has routed the practice of applying paint with a brush. The air-operated spray gun has supplanted the brushing method of application. Wfith the air-operated spray gun it is possible to cover greater areas in shorter periods and produce a better job with a reasonable amount of experience. Color matching and mixing are a very impor- tant part of this work. Oxyacetylene Welding. The oxyacetylene welding torch has become a very important tool for hoth manufac- ture and maintainence service. Parts which formerly were riveted, bolted or fastened by any other means are now made into a solid integral part by welding. Pieces which formerly had to be discarded and replaced are now made whole and as strong as new by this process. The student pictured, is welding the fender of a car which has been repaired in the shops of Burgard's Auto- mobile Department. Parts of every description and every conceivable state of disrepair are taken from cars in the school and straightened and welded in the school welding shop. These parts consist of bumpers which have been broken and bent, frames, frame parts, cylinder heads, aluminum crank cases and all types of bronze and malleable iron fittings. il I - . 4, 1061 1910 THE CRAFTSMAN T AVI TION VIEWS .... Wiring Navigation Lights Q Welding a Tubular Fuselage Aircraft Electrical Repair Work. The advancement in aviation fields has called for more experience in elec- trical installation and repair. All installations and repairs are inspected and approved by the Department of Com- merce which requires navigation lights on all com- mercial airplanes. Practically all ships are also equipped with landing lights. Some of the operations are insulat- ing circuits and soldering terminals. Soldering paste should always be used instead of acids on all connections to prevent corrosion. This Aircraft Electrical Repair Shop is concentrating on instruction concerning operations, servicing, trouble shooting, and overhauling of aircraft electrical equip- ment. The boys in this picture are getting experience on installing and repairing a lighting system on an airplane, by actually working on the ship itself. This group also receives instruction on the installa- tion of switches and instruments. The shop is equipped with testers and batteries to ascertain whether the lights are functioning properly after the installation has been completed. The class room contains testing engines which include a Wright J-5, a five cylinder LeBlond, a Curtiss 0X5 and a twelve cylinder Libertyg several types of magnetos from different manufacturersg an Allen test benchg and other necessary equipment. Aircraft Welding. Welding on a fuselage requires a skill acquired only after weeks of practice training on small pieces of tubing and fiat metal. The young man working on this fuselage is a senior. Having spent twenty weeks in the welding shop at Burgard, he is equipped with the theory as well as the practice of welding. This fuselage was bent and broken at the part where the student is welding but has been repaired in the shops of the school. The broken and bent tubes were removed according to approved specifications and re- placed with new carbon steel tubes according to the same specifications. They were then welded into place. This operation involves welding in the flat, vertical, horizontal, and overhead positions. This type of work fits the student for employment at the flying fields as well as in the airplane factory. Covering of a Wing. Most of the commercial airplane wings are still constructed of wood. There is a tendency toward metal construction in the future. This may change the process of covering the wings and fuselage with fabric, but until the day comes when metal skin or cover is applied we must still be able to cover and repair a wing of the present type. ILVER ANNIVERSA ....AVIAT The fabric used is a good grade of cotton and must be woven according to the Department of Commerce specifications. There are different weights of materials, depending upon the use to which is is to be put. The material is sewed up to fit the wing structure, then applied to the wing frame and sewed into place. Some of the sewing is done right on the wing as illustrated in the picture. These boys are working on a Moth wing which underwent some internal repairs. The old fabric had been taken off, and now the illustration shows its application. After the fabric is sewed into place, fabric tape is used to cover the stitches. This tape is doped on and thoroughly seals that particular section, More dope is then applied to make the fabric taut. Engine Top Overhaul. The picture of Aircraft Engine Repair shows students removing a cylinder from a Wright Whirwind7' engine. This operation is part of a job which, in aviation circles, is known as a 6'Top Over- haulw and consists of repairing or reconditioning the valves and valve seats, together with a thorough inspec- tion of the cylinders, pistons, and piston rings. As all the power of an engine is developed within the cylinders, the students are taught to check these parts before they are removed to find out why the engine has failed to deliver the required horsepower. The engines are repaired under conditions and methods similar to those in use at the Buffalo Airport. Most of the forced landings or delayed time schedules of airplanes are caused by the failure of the engine. With this thought in mind the students are taught to repair each part as if the Department of Commerce Inspector were to inspect the work. It is a requirement of the United States Department of Commerce that all airplanes that are flown either for commercial or private flying must be repaired under the direct supervision of a mechanic who is licensed by that department. Spraying a W ing. The student in the picture is spray- ing an airplane wing. This is one of the many operations necessary to prepare a wing for use. After the wing structure is covered, as you will note in another picture, it is necessary to apply four coats of clear airplane dope. This process shrinks the material on to the wing proper and makes the fabric taut and waterproof. Between each coat the mechanic sands out all roughness, After these coats are finished, color is applied. It is applied by using g t' W , , K. . . figfffffis 'We' ,fsijrfifi 1 me H f-si' N 1-2.1 -,.-1-'fri -tiff? iff 1' 7 -A ,v mf pgsql F -M fm K' fb iii- sliF,i,:1 ' ' ll -w,,N, y .M f . iw fs 1 .3 Q ' fi' gf?

Here, as before, each coat is carefully sprayed on. There is a certain amount of skill acquired by the student in the applica- tion of this material, such as the holding of the gun, proper distances, speed of operation, etc. There are four or five such operations necessary to complete the job, depending on the color. The next step is to rub down the surface to a very smooth and bright finish and then polish it carefully. Metal Airplane Construction. The trend in airplane construction at the present time, especially in Buffalo, is toward aluminum alloy construction. Due to the nature of this metal it is impossible to fabricate the airplane by the welding process. Consequently a great deal of hand work and riveting has become necessary. With this new development in mind, the school has taken a large portion of the airplane construction and repair shop and converted it into metal construction work, as shown in the accompanying picture. ln this department students actively engage in all phases of metal construction and repair work, such as removing and replacing sheets of metal on fuselages, pontoons, elevators, fins, stabilizers, and rudders, while others are engaged in pontoon and rib building. This work necessitates the removal and installation of all forms of rivets in many different positions with as many different kinds of tools and fixtures. The aircraft metal worker must be highly skilled and must also possess the ability to solve many difficult prob- lems, such as laying out work, installing parts in difficult positions., and making special tools, jigs, and fixtures. The students in this picture are assembling a pontoon for a seaplane. Airplane Assembling and Repair. The students in this picture are assembling the empennage of the Fleetster, high wing monoplane, which was built in Buffalo and originally flown on the New York, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires passenger line and was presented to this institution hy the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation. The fuselage, landing gear, and cmpennage of this air- plane are of aluminum alloy construction, while the wings are built almost entirely of wood. The outer cov- ering of the wings is plywood. SILVER ANNIVERSA RY at 109 1 . . . . AVIATION .VIEWS This is the repair and assembly division of the air- plane construction and repair shop in which a great variety of work is being done by the students, such as wood work, fabric installation, and repair, doping, as- sembling of unit parts, inspection, and assembling and aligning of the airplane ready for flight. In addition to possessing a high degree of manual dexterity and a broad knowledge of the theory involved in airplane building, the rigger and repair man must keep constantly abreast of United States Department of Commerce regulations which govern the repair and rigging of airplanes because when the job is completed it must be approved by a government inspector before it can be relicensed for active service. This course naturally covers a large field because it prepares a boy for factory and field work. All field work must be done under the direct supervision of a licensed airplane mechanic. Consequently this course also pre- pares the student to pass the Department of Commerce examinations. Aircraft Metal and Machine Work. Laying-out, an op- eration shown in the accompanying picture, is a shop term used to include the marking or scribing of lines, circles, arcs, center points, etc., upon metal surfaces. for a guide to the workman. Here we have students laying out a development of a stabilizer lug from a drawing similar to those used in the aircraft industries. Certain allowances for bending must he considered when developing the fitting on a flat surface to insure an accurate finished project. This requires considerable calculation and careful workman- ship. The procedure followed in this type of work is iden- tical with modern industrial shop practice, and gives the student a good conception of what may be expected of him when he enters aircraft work. The student's training also involves designing and making of tools., forms, and jigs used in the making of fittings, identical with those used in aircraft construc- tion. Among the operations taught are drilling, boring, reaming, turning, facing, shaping, milling, grinding, forging, hardening, tempering, drill and tool grinding, and nibbling. The art of forming metal into various irregular shapes by hammering-an operation known as Hbumpingw- is an important part of the course, owing to the fact that there is a great demand for this type of work in the aircraft industry.

Typographical Layout for Advertisement O ' Drawing an Airplane Wing Rib Twenty-five years ago, when Burgard had its origin in the basement room of a school on Broadway, the Bookwork department consisted of one teacher, our principal, Mr. Kamprath. Today, this department num- bers twenty-two men teaching a variety of related and social subjects, and two women instructors, one teach- ing speech correction and the other operating the ref- erence library. The type of student of those early days was the boy from the sixth, seventh, or eighth grade of the regular elementary school who was either mechanically gifted or who disliked academic work so heartily that be turned to a mechanical course as the lesser of two evils. In either case the teaching of bookwork was no easy task and the subject matter had to follow rather simple lines so as to be within the grasp of the student. With the expansion of Vocational Education, however, the cur- riculum necessarily had to change to meet the growing demands of Industry. Employers, recognizing the pos- sibilities of this type of education, were no longer con- tent to accept an apprentice who had only a knowledge of shop procedure plus the three 5'R's.,' This resulted in the organization of courses in hookwork related directly to the trades studied. In turn, the raising of the standards necessitated a better preparation on the part of the student to undertake these more difficult subjects and the entrance requirements were changed so that only graduates of grammar schools were admitted. From this point there was a gradual expansion until Burgard became a full-fledged four year high school. The bookwork views presented in this section are necessarily limited in number but they serve to give a general impression of the work that is being done to give the student a well rounded preparation for his entrance into the world of lndustry. Each View is rep- resentative of a type of work which the student is called upon to do in pursing those subjects for five periods each week. In Printing Art the work is so arranged as to aid the student in laying-out and arranging type masses such as letter-heads, business cards., etc., which jobs confront him in the study of hand composition or type-setting. SILVER ANNIVER L111j . . . . BOOKWORK VIEW Lettering, sketching, and design work are very helpful to the student of Lithography in his preparation of lithographic stones and zinc plates for off-set printing. The poster work is distinctly an asset to the student of Printing in that it teaches him both proportion and arrangement of subject matter. The student of Aviation is given training in the draw- ing of blue prints by practicing from cuts taken from large lay-out sheets donated by the aeroplane factories in Buffalo. Diagrams are made of wings, fuselages, rudders, and other parts of the ship and when tracings have been made, there is practice in the operation of the blue- printing machine. The lay-out of metal fittings is another important function of aviation drawing because the stu- dent is called upon to do the same thing when he is lay- ing-out a fitting on an actual project in the shop. In the study of Automobile Mechanics the drawing course takes the form of shop sketching. The making of wiring diagrams for lighting, starting, and ignition systems makes the shop work much more concrete. The student in the academic high school studies Physics, Chemistry, and General Science as individual subjects but in the vocational school parts of all of these subjects are grouped together to form related science. In Printing Science, in addition to studying light, and mechanics, the student must know the chemistry of printing inks, the composition of printing rollers, and instruments are studied and used for determining texture, weight, and strength of paper. In one of the illustrations in this section we see a student making a tenacity test on an Elemendorf paper tester to determine the physical characteristics of a sample of paper. Twenty other tests are given to the sample before passing judg- ment on the stock. Other topics studied are the manu- facture and care of rollers, the composition and mixing of inks, and the theory of color and transmitted light. Simple mechanics are studied to enable the student to analyze the construction and operation of the intricate machinery used in printing. The Trade Science Electrical Laboratory uses its facil- ities in experiments of the type shown where the Making a Physical Test of Paper Studying Circuit and Operation of Airway Beacon Control Relay 45: , '-:- - W ?jf- vffa.: - .. -sffaby. 1- ' '- S:.?l-3: ' - - t,j5.,,-4 W -.

Tension Test of Automobile Steering Column Steel on Universal Testing Machine I Figuring Length of Bend, Flat Metal Fittings student is tracing and checking circuits and observing the operation of a sun-valve relay for controlling the airway beacon. The construction and operation of many other electrical devices of the aircraft industry are also studied and research is made into the design and con- struction of ships, their engines, control instruments, meteorology, air navigation, and radio. The Trade Science Mechanical Laboratory is designed and equipped to make numerous physical tests of com- mercial and industrial raw materials and finished prod- ucts. ln this course training is given in the use of the following testing machines: dynamometer for determin- ing the delivered horse-power of internal combustion automobile and airplane engines, oil testing machine for ascertaining properties of different oils in reference to their durability and ability to reduce friction, Brinell hardness testing machine for testing the hardness of all automobile and airplane metals, and the torsion testing machine for determining the amount of twist in various materials, such as shafting, universal joints, and axles. ln addition to the above, rubber, wire, cable, rods, and fabric are tested for strength. It will be observed that one of the illustrations shows a student using the Uni- versal testing machine to make a tension test on a piece of automobile steering-column steel. This machine also makes possible compression and transverse tests of materials used in the different shops during the year. In Related Trade Mathematics the subject matter is made up of a combination of algebra, geometry, trigo- nometry, and arithmetic. In the Aviation trade, the boys study the construction of layout work for airfoil sections or ribs of airplanes. The formulae used have to be worked out very carefully as the Aviation industry is one where even slight errors are costly. This is espe- cially true in the computation of bends in flat metal work. In Automobile work, mathematics involves a study of piston areas, displacement, rim speed, braking sur- faces, valve timing, horsepower of gas engines, etc. ln Printing it involves computations in layout work for printing forms and type masses, for finding the cost of printing jobs, etc. ln addition to these related courses there is an advanced course in Garage Practice in which a form of bookkeeping is taught. SILVER ANNIVERSA ....BO0KW The English taught at Burgard is of course the same as that taught at any of the Academic high schools because the Regents governs in both cases. An effort is made, however, to stress those things which are going to be most beneficial to the boy entering lndustry. Ability to meet people, to think on his feet, to express himself clearly and distinctly, to give clear directions, these are problems that will face the student and they are met in Oral English. The reading of trade magazines and books concerning his chosen trade is also stressed in the English classes. American History is also a Regents subject but aside from the Regents credit the aim of the vocational high school is to prepare the student for intelligent citizen- ship. Civics and Economic Citizenship, which are also part of the Social Subjects group, play their part in furthering this aim. The Burgard library is especially adapted to vocation- al work. In a large room fitted with comfortable chairs and tables there is space for forty boys to work in a con- genial atmosphere at projects related to their school work. There is a large number of technical books as well as a good assortment of recreational books. Ency- clopedias of Automobile, Printing, Aviation, and Gen- eral information are at the disposal of the students. Numerous publications are supplied by the school to aid in the regular work as well as for constructive en- tertainment. A trained librarian is in charge of the room and she supervises the work of the students. Good habits of independent research are fostered by this system since an opportunity is given to every boy to find out infor- mation by himself and to apply it to his particular problem. Burgard has come a long way since those basement days of twenty-five years ago. Her beacon light has at- tracted boys from every grammar school in the city. Visitors from Europe and far off China have praised her accomplishments and the academic records of her students are on a par with those of any other high school in the city. ln essay contests Burgard boys have had their share of success. Coupled with the splendid shop in- struction and the physical education program, the book- work instruction does its part to turn out the complete Burgard student, an intelligent apprentice, and embryo citizen. 1141 THE CRAFTSMAN ENING SCHOOLH.. The annual Night School Graduating exercises on Tuesday, February 26th, launched the Silver Anniver- sary celebration at Burgard Vocational high school. A class of 75 men received diplomas signifying they had completed the 2, 3, or 4 years of evening school work demanded by the subject listed on the certificate. Business men, labor leaders and educators who have been active in behalf of Burgard throughout the quarter century of its progress, occupied the speakers' table. John Rhead, an evening school automobile student, who won a 1930 Atwater-Kent audition, contributed two bass solos. The March of Time, an illustrated narrative of the development of Burgard from its inception in 1910 to the present, was the high light of the evening's festivities. Mr. Edward T. Welsh. the narrator, in an interesting and humorous manner traced Burgard's history from the basement of School 44- to the present magnificent structure. Mr. Francis H. Wing, Director of Vocational Educa- tion, spoke briefly of the growth of Burgard. Attributing the extension of vocational work in the evening school to the idea that adults should have opportunities to improve educationally, he said, Some ideas have with- in them a triumphant qualityg bound to win regardless of effort. This is an occasion for congratulations. It's what has been done in a quarter of a century that merits congratulations.
