in An early print shop tecture. It is 361 feet long and 200 feet wide and at the tower rises five stories. If ever a structure of stone and steel can be said to be the oifspring of man, Burgard can claim William B. Kamprath as its father. Without him not only this school but the whole system of voca- tional education would be far behind the demands made on it. Here is an institution Iilled both day and night with boys and young men-gathered from every elementary school district in the city, from 58 parochial schools and from 30 nearby towns and villages, and in the eve- ning, young men from almost every industrial plant on the Niagara Frontier. Here these boys and young men study and work and grow together until they are ready to go out into the world with the skills they have learned. In the five years preceding the construction of the new school a veritable military campaign was conducted with WBK as the field commander. Two inch type in 8-column headlines screamed that capital and labor were uniting in demanding this new school. The Board of Education and the Mayor vied with one another in proposing resolutions which would eventually culminate in the construction. Five hundred civic and industrial leaders stormed the City Hall to press the demand. It has been said by people who are familiar with activities of this type that no educational undertaking had such an absolute and unanimous backing of such a large part of the voting constituency. And behind all this tremendous drive to further the education of the youth of Buffalo stood one man, William B. Kamprath. All through the early years the faculty had been working to capitalize on the spirit, the momentum, and the dy- namic force of labor unionism, the civic and industrial leaders who had joined in backing education in its de- mand for a real school ofthe type they believed neces- sary. There hangs in the principalis office today a beau- tifully engrossed tribute of our indebtedness to these leaders of the world of labor, industry, and government We built our own hot rod
