A large demand made by the boat building and marine engme interests of the Niagara Frontier led to the forma tion of the Boat Building course at Burgard in 1949 The first class was formed in September of 1950 under the direction of Mr Lines When equipment and materials were increased the shop was moved to 145 and the course was well on its way to add much to the industrial welfare of the Frontier. The course consists of an extensive four year program containing practical work in small boat construction, repair, painting and maintenance as well as engine repair and servicing. The Niagara Frontier with its tremendous waterfront ac- tivity has opened a brilliant new field for vocational train- ing and again Burgard has stepped in to fill the gap in the ever increasing task of preparing people to help themselves as well as their community. 12

LITHOGRAPHY Then, in 1926, Henry P. Burgard offered to donate a six acre site on Kensington Avenue for a sorely needed new school. Shortly thereafter, in l929, the cornerstone was laid for the foundation of Burgard Vocational High School. The same year, l929, lithographic courses were begun and taught by Mr. Cyrus H. Johnson. The school, as we know it today, was officially opened in l930. Since then, the Burgard printing department has produced hundreds of printers for Western New York and throughout the entire country. Through the years, the department be- came rich in knowledge, in machinery, and in printers. ln 1954, the printing department received new equip- ment valued at more than 550,000 to further the courses of printing in Burgard. Last year, l956, Mr. John C. Heinike retired from his teaching career. The department suftered a great loss,but with the effort, enthusiasm, ambition, and spirit of Burgard, the printing department shall continue to prosper and grow, producing tomorrow's citizens and printers. ll
