INTERIOR MR. MATTHEW J. SHEAHAN Shop and Shop Tech Instructor ' evfiieir , W ..- NOT THE PAPER . . . THE CHAIRII NOW . . . LET'S ses? PAINTING AND DECORATING The students of the Painting and Decorating Depart- ment receive training in one of the basic trades of the construction industry. It is one of the few trades that hasn't been affected by the introduction of machinery or need of large amounts of capital for establishing an independent business. In this field individual ability and talent may be re- warded and recognized. Another advantage is that it is not entirely dependent upon the amount of new con- struction. Every building which has been built and is no longer new, and every building which will be built in the future will need painting and decorating several times. Painting does not merely mean the covering of sur- faces but the protection, decoration and light reflection of many surfaces. The working conditions of this trade are very favorable as they offer opportunity for both indoor and outdoor work. The boys from the Painting and Decorating Depart- ment have been trained in paperhanging, woodtinish- ing, sign painting, decorating and spray painting. Working in any of these fields of the trade will assure the graduate of employment in either painting and decorating shops, furniture retail stores, furniture fac- tories, auto spray and sign companies.
