1 McKEE HIGHmsCHOOL (EXLIBRIS |wtfooIL 1940 5 rv3 r w r ' v « rv cr ' w r; n w r w (rw rs(rv )irMw ir T) Mr. James Harrigan McKee Vocational High School St. Marks Place and Wall Street St. George, Staten Island My dear Harrigan: It affords me pleasure to comply with your request to write a few words of greeting for the yearbook. In my opinion, you and your faculty have done extraordinarily well in gradually building up the large, complicated school organi- zation that the McKee Vocational High School represents. Only an educator who has lived with such problems can appreciate the many difficulties you had to solve and the skill you and your faculty have displayed in meeting them. I am sure you will agree with me that the Board of Education, in its wisdom, added much to the wealth of your community when it created a splendid school in which boys and girls interested not only in books but in the practical processes of commerce and industry have an opportunity not only to live happily but, day by day, to acquire knowledge and skills that will increase their ability to earn a decent living. Your graduates will be able to sustain themselves in the battle of life and escape the degradation of the bread line. In addition, they will have real culture because their knowledge of science and mathe- matics, as well as the social studies, has been vitalized by intimately connecting them with the problem of living. But, in the final analysis, neither brick nor stone nor costly equip- ment makes a school. A real school consists not of these material things but of the boys and girls who live under its hospitable roof and who not only receive instruction but who make their contribution through diligent study, honorable achievement, and, above all, appreci- ation of the opportunities afforded them to become worthy citizens of our great city, state and country. I am sure that your boys and girls, by their zeal for study and orderly behavior, have justified the fondest expectations of Ralph McKee, of beloved memory, whose devotion to your interests trans- formed the school from a blueprint possibility into your present beautiful building. With sincere personal regards to you and the faculty and with best wishes for the success of all the pupils, especially the graduating class, I am Cordially yours, WILLIAM E. GRADY, Associate Superintendent. tJMh (LJH!hS ' Z li L M lA w« w ( rw« rw w w «fr ' w« w THE JANUARY AND JUNE CLASSES OF 1940 DEDICATE OUR YEAR BOOK TO DR. WILLIAM E.

You entered with little thought of what you could do or would like to do. You are leaving with your mind broadened by the knowledge of a great many useful facts and experiences, your skill tested in the elements of many occupations and a better knowledge of how to get along with people. Your self-control and self-respect have been tested in your relations with your teachers and fellow students, and your perseverance has been rewarded by a diploma from high school. This equipment is much better than that of the average citizen of today and should give you confidence, in yourself, respect for your fellows and the faith in God which are essential to success.

We are regretful at the thought of leaving these familiar halls where we have spent many hours of helpful study, and where our contacts with teachers and fellow students have brought us numerous happy experiences. As members of the graduating class we have been faced with difficult tasks to accomplish and problems to solve. It was only through the profound loyalty and ever guiding hands of our principal and our teachers that we have been able to overcome our difficulties. Now, our hearts are filled with the hope that we may be able to obtain the success that members of former graduating classes have realized. We consider this a just and fitting way to express our heartfelt thanks to our school for all that she has done for us. All that we ask of life is a chance; a chance to prove that our efforts are sincere and earnest, and that all has not been done for us in vain. Although we know that we are not trained artisans, we feel that we are prepared in a measure to meet life. We realize our need for future study. Each of us possesses a willingness to learn, to meet new situations, to solve new problems. Thus, we hope that we may continue to learn and to become correspondingly more useful in the various fields or our endeavors. McKee has trained us in these attitudes toward life, these ways of think- ing, along with the fundamentals of our several trades. It is for such as these that we shall always love her and strive to honor her.

He later moved to New York and started a business of his own on Fulton Street, employing at one time a hundred men or more. Strange to say his draughtsmanship was poor (seniors take note) but every piece of furniture was personally inspected by Phyfe, himself, before leaving the factory. His work ranged from elaborate pieces made for the Astor family to the simplest kitchen furniture, from library table to ironing boards, and all equally well made. Such, in part, is the story of Duncan Phyfe, born in Scotland in 1768, who brought with him a tradition of the job well done. RICHELIEU said, If it is versatility you seek, go find an architect. He must be an artist, or his buildings will offend the eye; an engineer, or they will crumble; a lawyer, or he will get his patrons into trouble; a doctor, or his buildings will be hygienically unfit to live in; and last, but not least, he must be a gentleman or we will have nothing to do with him. Eminent men in the fields of architecture and engineering have often expressed the hope that students of these professions will not all actively work in them. Not that they are wasting their time, but that their training in ob- servation and orderly thinking will be of great value in many other types of work. MECHANICAL DRAWING 52 GIRLS ' COMMERCIAL ART THIS THING CALLED ART— The importance of art to human beings is too often forgotten. It has always been such a vital part of our lives that like walking or talking we don ' t think how necessary they are until by some misfortune we are deprived of them. Few people ever realize how dreary life would be without the creative instinct that nature has endowed us with. The eagerness with which every child plays with blocks and paints is a sign of that instinct in all of us. Because some develop it more than others and become professionals in later life is no indication that the gift has been lost to the rest of us. On the contrary, a quick glance at one ' s own person, noticing the care with which we select and combine our clothes is a sure sign that the artist is still in us. Wood whittling, telephone-pad scribbling, harmonica playing, tap- dancing, — these are all manifestations of the same urge, the will to create. Let these interests grow in you, guide them along production lines, and you will experience joys and pleasures that will help make your life a truly happy and beautiful one, and one that costs surprisingly little. BOYS ' C OMMERCIAL ART 53 HEATING AND SANITATION WHAT IS NEWS? — The early Romans were the first people to use lead for water piping and it is from their name for lead that the word plumber is derived. Their civilization contributed much to our modern sanitary advantages and it is interesting to note that they were also pioneers in air conditioning. The famous Roman baths were equipped with air conditioning in an elemen- tary form. Adjoining the plunge or pool were hot rooms, cold rooms and moderate rooms. The walls and floors of these chambers were hollow and heated to the required temperature by air passing from a central heating plant. A recent trade magazine article describes a patent granted to an Ameri- can inventor for a method of heating the floors and walls of a building through pipes imbedded in them. It is obvious that this new method of heating has directly descended from the Roman baths. ARTICLES that are comprised of sheet metals of one kind or another are numerous. It is no longer a tinker ' s trade, but a trade that is of equal importance to the other skilled mechanical arts. Aviation, air-conditioning, automobile, and truck makers, as well as metal furniture, kitchen equipment, and metal roofing manufacturers, are now look- ing to the vocational and technical schools for assistance. Sheet metal work is now, indeed, a most fertile vocation. Sheet metal work is not the vocation of a jack of all trades, but an occupation which provides the worker with a wide field for his talents. SHEET METAL WORK 54 BEAUTY CULTURE THE ART and science of Beauty Culture is as old as Eve. There is very little in the field of Cosmetology that was not used by our ancestors. One great difference to-day, however, is that everyone is expected to help Nature if she has not been too lavish with her gifts. Probably the highest peak in the use of cosmetics and perfumes was reached in Egypt, with the endorsement of the beautiful and romantic queen, Cleopatra (68-30 B.C.). Shakespeare pictures the scene as she sails to meet Mark Anthony: Purple the sails, and so perfumed that the winds were love- • sick. But Cleopatra seems conservative when compared to Nero ' s wife, Poppaea (1st Century A.D.). She had her daily bath in milk. More per- fume and incense were used at her funeral than could be produced in a year at that time. It costs less and is easier to be beautiful to-day. THE GOAL in all work done by Seniors in the Commercial Department of McKee is to become trained workers in the various activities. A student is permitted to concentrate on the activity in which she shows ability so that at the end of the course she may take the tests for trained operators given by each of the manufacturers. In the near future it is hoped to place commercial work on the basis of a shop . This would lead to a diploma in business practice. We are proud to point to our graduates who are now working in banks, insurance companies and department stores. A good many are working in small offices. Remember that the girl who merely knows about a machine or activity but is not proficient in it does not make herself a valuable employee. OFFICE PRACTICE 55 Im i Hi i IL..H v? c « k J9K lilf!] 1 MACHINE SHOP PRACTICE THE MECHANIC of to-day is a giant compared with a man in the earlier stages of society. The modern machine shop represents a high development in the appli- cation of scientific truths to carry on the work of the world. While the man in earlier days toiled with his hands, arms and legs, using the strength of his muscles as the only motive power on which he could de- pend, the man of to-day has at his finger tips an almost unlimited supply of power. The feeble grip of his hands has become the vise with a grip resisting tons of effort to move the object upon which it has seized. The stone in his weak grasp, with which he drove the stakes to erect his first barricade for protection, has developed into the powerful pile-driver, the steam hammer, and the bull dozer . It is the purpose of the machine shop practice course to develop the student ' s skill in the application of these scientific truths which have existed since the beginning of time. AUTO MECHANICS DR. DIESEL, the inventor of the famous Diesel engine which is playing such an important part in railroad, marine, and automotive power, disappeared a few months before the beginning of the Great War while on his way on board a ship crossing the Eng- lish Channel, September 29, 1913. It was a clear evening and the water was calm. Dr. Diesel was at the height of his success, in good health, and he was carrying many important papers with him. His bed had not been slept in and no one had seen him dur- ing the night. The next day his family received a telegram saying he was safe in London, but a check-up showed that the telegram had been sent from Geneva. Several weeks later a body was found which was identified as that of Dr. Diesel. 56 — l«p i jw 1 ■ :.! !! i • ELECTRICAL SCIENCE LABORATORY SCHOOL DAYS are difficult, trying, and profitless days, say most students. All we hear from day to day is, get that book report in, solve that problem, do a better job, do this for homework, study for the exam, etc. What do we need all this for? Why not go out and get a job? Let us go into the future, say about five years from now. Where will you find the average McKee Electrical Grad? Will he be serving you? You are now (1945) getting along fine in your new job which you are justly proud of. As you review your average day, you find that electricity and electrical apparatus have been constantly at your service. Your McKee electri- cal alumnus will be in practically every electrical field. Some will be working in factories, building radios, motors, transformers, lighting fixtures, switches, refrigerators, telephones, and many intricate devices for special electrical de- vices such as automatic elevator control, automatic tunnel ventilation, and countless others. As you travel from day to day, your old classmates may be working for the Independent Subway System, The Staten Island Railway, the Edison Com- panies, the Telephone Company, and many other similar organizations serving you indirectly as electricians, power operators, and electrical testers. There are countless other positions that will likely be held by your own classmates, far greater in responsibility than these. Is this fantastic? Find your answers at an alumni reunion five years from now. Ask your old class- mates what they are doing and you will find that your stay at McKee was well spent. Greetings and best wishes to you all. MOTOR GENERATING 57 ELECTRIC WIRING AND INSTALLATION MAN first learned to use spoken language; then he discovered how to make graphic symbols of his oral sounds; thus developed written language. How we learned to use spoken language is unknown, but through the dim mists of antiquity may be observed a few traces to indicate how written lan uaoe was evolved. The most primitive form of written language was picture writing, and the earliest attempts to make lasting records were by scratching or painting crude pictures on natural smooth surfaces, such as stone, shells, bark from trees, or flat pieces of wood. All of this occurred in prehistoric times. Printing is the principal means devised by man for making exact copies of works of written language. Like all other arts it has grown from simple beginnings. It ranks fourth now in economic importance among the world ' s industries. Great Britain and the United States to-day do the bulk of the world ' s printing. They lay no claim to having had a part in the invention, at least in its early stages, and have contented themselves with such later develop- ments as the power press and linotype. PRINTING 1 •■ Tlte-r ■ ' « v £k A j fc 9? WJl - 5  HH ■ a ' 58 DRAMATIC CLUB THE AVERAGE high school student stands reverently in awe of Shake- speare ' s dramatic gifts and the extreme variety of his talent. On May 9, 1940, Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh presented the lyric drama of the star cross ' d Romeo and Juliet. It cost more than $83,000 to raise the curtain of this revival. Obviously there is more to Shakespeare than is seen by the senior student preparing for his English finals. HOW MANY will admit that the ancient Greeks had a word for some- thing just as important as food, shelter or clothing? It was called music . To our old friends, the term music meant the arts. They felt that man, in order to be completely happy, should develop his brain as well as his body, and to accomplish this, ordered all their youths trained in various arts, especially music. Singing men and women are happy people, and happiness goes in partner- ship with success, in all walks of life. McKEE ' S ORCHESTRA 59 DRESSMAKING TO SUCCEED as an independent dressmaker a girl must have ability beyond that of an ordinary seamstress. She may solicit work from her neighbors and friends and thus establish a business. She must know how to do various kinds of sewing as needed, making garments to order. It is from such small shops that many couturiers of Paris have had their beginning. As the head of a successful custom shop, a woman may demand and get top prices. She has the additional advantage of pleasant social contact, of travel, usually a yearly trip to Paris and inciden tal excursions to places where fashionable women gather together with the satisfaction that always comes to the creative artist in any line of work. POPULARITY of ready-made clothes is constantly growing, and there is little likelihood that people will turn from the convenience of buying the ready-to-wear clothing of today to the home-made or custom-made ones of a century ago. Therefore, those young men and women who are consider- ing entering a trade can rest assured that this industry will continue to offer opportunities of earning a substantial living. In the vocational high schools girls and boys are being prepared to fill the need for workers in this thriving industry. In the metropolitan area over one hundred thousand persons, of whom seventy per cent are women, produce two-thirds of the nation ' s clothes.
