Year by year the registration of the school was increased and new classes have been added to take care of the Well rounded program of instruction in the building and machine trades. A This season marks a further notable advance in all Eelds of the school's activities. The science department has moved into its Iine new quarters equipped with lecture rooms, class rooms, and the most modern type of apparatus for demonstration work. Alterations in the gyinnasiuin which provide more floor space found this department better fitted than ever to carry on its busy and popular program. ' I11 order to take care of the large increase in registration tabout 200 more students than last. ycarj seven new instructors were added to thc faculty. NVe are happy to welcome this line group of new meu who have already shown their eifectiveness as teachers and their loyal support in helping to build up the Meliiuley spirit. The increase in enrolhuent has made possible a larger and better program of school activities. The Senior Day program on January 253th was as usual a celebration of McKinley's birthday. NVe were privileged to have with us as the principal speaker Mr, G-. Barrett Rich who told of his personal contacts with the great president whose name our school bears. Another outstanding feature of this program was the presentation by the orchestra of a series of pieces illus- trative ot the life of Mcliinley-a special arrangement made by Mr. Carl King. Our regular assemblies have had an added inte1'est through the projection of several iine moving pictures-some of these industrial films related to the courses of study. As usual singing, and music by our band and orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Carl King, have been especially popular. The work of the teaching staff has been made more effective through the coinpletion and rearrangement of courses of study. .ln this work Mcliinley has made a most valuable contribution to the program of vocational education. All of the extra curricular activities such as the band, the athletic teams, and the dramatic association show marked improvement as will be noted in their respective sections. Special attention must be called to the remarkable exhibition of school spirit shown by the crowd of nearly three thousand McKinley rooters who backed their victorious track team at the first indoor track meet for vocational schools. The school also takes great satisfaction in the formation of a strong alumni association. The loyalty of our ,graduates and their 1'eal pride in their alma mater gives promise of fine things to be accomplished by this organization. As usual McKinley has entertained many visitors. During the past year nearly one thousand men have seen the school demonstrate its efficiency in actual operation. Distinguished educational authorities have come from all over the country to learn our methods and to gain a knowledge of our standards. Our office has also received hundreds of applications for descriptions of methods and courses of study from all parts of the country. Another most welcome group of visitors were the tra.de workers and the employers. Through their cordial co-operation we are coming close to the point where We can place every graduate in his trade as soon as he finishes school. The year of 1925-26 marks for McKinley School a large step forward in the unfolding of a remarkable educational program. NVe are proud of our scholastic standing as a. leader in vocational methods. Vile are proud of the loyal spirit of our facility and student body. XVith these two factors in mind we are satisfied that this yea,r's work marks the foundation for a ,larger 'field of line service not only to liuttalo-but to the nation as a whole. ' llA'l' the McKinley Yoeat'iom1l School has been reeognizecl by l'C'lllkl2lt0l S in all parts of the 4 lluitefl Mates, is attested by the Ulillly letters zmfl visits re- ef-iveml from them, i11qui1'i11g' about its umxrses of study, its D1'0g1'illH and other inovatious which have been llll-1'0Cl11COCll. The fact that McKinley is 1-eeoguizerl for the Oxcelleney of its work mul its social lilfe is flue in fl, lill'g'G measure to the fine mzllzmletel' of our student body. Its sue- vess so much depends upon these boys, who are about to leave, aucl their predecessors that it is with El ketn feelirlg of loss to the selmol zmfl D2l.I'flClllilI'ly to mysellf that l see them gn to their li'l'e's work.

THE A RTISAN 27 History of the Senior Class ln September, 1924, one hundred eighty-seven boys came to the McKinley school to register in the various shops. These with an addition of one hundred twenty-one seniors made a. total of three hundred eight. After a few weeks when ,the school organization had been completed, the officers of the senior class were elected. They were as follows: Benjamin Augus- tine, president, Arthur Sehone, vice president, and one representative from each shop. ln the latter part of October the McKinley Players, a dramatic club, was organized under the direction of Mr. Adelbert D. Kuhn. They made their first appearance in a Hal1owe'en play, Old Jaw Bones and Stabbed in the Dark, wl1icl1 were well received. A Thanksgiving and a Christmas play were given also under the direction of Mr. Kuhn. At the Christmas play more than three hundred iifty mothers and fathers of the boys were present. ln May the Dra- matic club under the direction of Mr. Kuhn put on the Senior play, Nothing but the Truth, which they played also the two succeeding nights. . Mr. Siebold at this time organized a Glee Club which sang in the assembly, at the May music festival, and also broadcast at NVGR. The school owes its singing reputation to the ground work of Mr. Seibold. On the twenty-ninth of January, 1925, which was the birthday of NVilliam McKinley, we celebrated Senior Day. Dr. Ernest C. Hartwell, Superintendent of Schools, and Reverend XVillia.m Smith were the speakers, presenting a. very beautiful program. May twentieth, 1925, Junior Day was held at which time Captain Calvert Mellon from the Lafayette High School was the speaker. Music was furnished by the orchestra which consisted of twenty-two members under the direction of Mr. Carl King. On June fifth, 1925, Athletic Day was held at which time seven of the eleven cups were presented for the various athletic championships during the year. ln June of this same year one hundred seventy-five boys left the lVIcKinl.ey School to go out into the world of work and about seventy percent of the boys were placed by the school. The Alumni Association of McKinley School was also organized at this time. ln December, 1925, the total registration was four hundred twenty-one, an increase over that of the preceding year of nearly two hundred. There were several new instructors and a. new supply of material and machinery introduced, which has made our shop equipment equal to the standard of any shop in the country. A museum of industrial exhibits was started by the Industrial Economics classes for class room work. These exhibits were secured from leading mann- facturers all over the United States. They comprised units from every major industry. They are of great aid to us in understanding the manufacturing processes and also give us a clearer idea of the many things necessary to com- plete an article used in daily life. 28 THE ARTISAN The orchestra and band were organized by Mr. Carl King. They have made a. great reputation for themselves and have done much to sustain the wonderful spirit which is MeKinley's only. One hundred boys have participated in music this year, giving us an average of one, who took part in our musical program, to every three registered in the school. The Dramatic Club was reorganized this year under the direction of Mr. Andrew C. Beam and several plays were held in the school. The I-Iallowe'en play, A Night at an lun, the Thanksgiving play, and the Christmas play were well received by the students and several hundred parents. In the middle of December the Senior Class officers were elected, the names of whom may be found in the 'Eorepart of this book. An Alumni meeting was held in the school cafeteria in -Iarniary, at which time Dr. Ernest C. Hartwell and Mr. Francis Viling were the speakers. The officers also were initiated into the Alumni Association at this time. January 29, 1926, we again celebrated Senior Day. The orchestra furnished music and several solos were played by the boys. Mr. G. Barrett Rich was the speaker of the day. He gave a personal view of McKinley, as 'a man, a.nd pre- sented the school with Butlfalo newspapers covering the assassination of the President. We were also very fortunate in having Mir. Siebold visit us. He sang, The Tree,', and Mr. Carl King also honored us with a beautiful musical composition arranged by himself as a descriptive medley portraying the lite of President McKinley. - In athletics up to the opening of the baseball season we have taken seven of the nine championships. During the year McKinley has entertained about one thousand visitors among them being educators from all parts of the country and from the many letters read by Mr. King in assembly we realize the tine national reputation McKinley enjoys in her work. This we feel is in a large measure due to the sincere affection we entertain toward the school and its faculty. The motto of this school is, One for all and all for one, one school for all the boys and all the boys' for one school. May her spirit never die! lv. - r, A -T gxg, V i wtf. .QW FRANK LYTLE President-Juniol' Class THE A RTISAN unior Building Trades Walter Alleoern John Baelnnan WVillian1 Baninan Mathew Cuthbert Tl101l1ilS Farrell lloward Fink Vito Anastasia Clarence Beals Charles Billiar Joseph llnseaglia, Edward Cainb Eclwarcl Carbone Robert Clark Salvatoi' Fiorella -lolin lleekel Andrew Beiter Joseph l3ernhardt Stanley Berny Orval Bonner George 'Bowers Gerald Brnnnner Thoinas Costello BRTGK LAY ING Salvatore Gaeta Anthony Geraee Nelson Hanover G eorge Horvatli Norman Iqcelnier flllill'lCS llang PliAS'l'ElllNG .Uonalrl Hiani Andrew Kostnzak Livingston Lasso Peter Lnongo Vllalter O 'Connor W'illia1'n Reese Melvin Ruppell Harold Savage NVillard Selnnetz SHEET Q METAIJ John Eieliorn Eclwarcl Fay Rielmrcl Fay Fred Fisher Francis Gibbs Howard G rey James Hallnaln Joseph Dombrowski Frecleriek Hehr Andrew Dorogi Anthony Agrieola Theodore Antoszewski Joseph Biernat Joseph Bonafede Elmer Breeht Matthew Czeladinski Russell Foulis Louis G-aggola Anthony Guzzo Cecil Harder Charles Johnson Erlwarcl Klein Q CABINET SHOP Xhlalter Jones Matthew Krawezak Henry Krnzeeki -lanies Leggio - ' James Mangiono hvllllillll llloorish Caleb Nielson Stanley Peseo .lohn Rampalal VValter Ramsey Vincent Russo Francis Mary Vernon Mooney Albert Potter Albert Sehiesser Roy Yorke Joseph Zynzae 'William Sehriber Norman Siewart Kenneth Tollner George Toinkins Alfred Vtleisser Leonard VVojthoWtiak Robert 'Wollage Donald Wi1'igl1l3 Frank Lytle Henry Malinowski Anthony Masiello Joseph Salm WVillia1n Schulz Charles Sonnners Anthony Spaneie Albert Vtlakeliehl George Sax-vyc-r Charles Sehnialtz Vincent Seimi- Raonl Smith Joseph Szewe Leo Szyperski John Toeareyk Walter Tuttle Donioniek Tripo Henry Wasierska Q X , 1-W ,,,' Y v ., at V., .w.,,.,,:A- I- ri A u ,- Y 1,-Q-4 , Y 1 A , 4 4 K 1 '- H .J 1 1 -I , V . 1 PL? .Ir-J Tif- .uf w , ' ' u!l'Z lT,3' 17--1' 3-f E . ,X Jr .. .v ,L -' -K, ' v f - JLQL -' 1.7, ,. 5 -.

Pa,tte1'n making, then, is the art of COl.lSlTl'UClf- ing the model. for nlaking the mold in which the casting is formed. A pattern is usually made from a sketch, drawing or sample Casting, and must be cou- siiruetecl wi1'l1 due consideration to modern molding practice. Most patterns are made of white pine, 1T12ll10gEUly or birch. After our l,11l'1TOdl'lCl2lO11 to the bencll and Ina.el1i1:,1e tools amd the molding benell, we were given our first blueprint or Cl1'El,Wll'lg of a. test bar 1 x1 x12 . From the blueprint, we were required to make a full-sized layout on a board, and the use of the sl11'i11l:age rule was taught us in the 1uaki11,g of the lay-outg this rule is Mg to the foot longer than the standard rule. TUE flIi5.T1iS'AN 35 Andrew Maul SHRINKAGE Wlicii the casting is made of east iron, tbe Mg shrinkage rule is applicable. Slirinkage is caused tlirougli cbcniical action wbilc the inoltcn inctal in the mold is cooling, thereby the casting' is rendered smaller than the patterng an allowance innst therefore be inadc on all patterns to compensate for this contraction-the extent thereof depending on the kind of metal and the size of casting. Sbrinkage may be said to be an allowance on the dimensions of as pattern to inalce up for the contraction of the metal as it changes from a liquid to a solid. WVC were next given stock for the test bar. Aiter planing and Sf1lli11'l1lg the four sides and ends, we were told to put draft or taper on tbein. Draft is a slight taper, about Mg to the foot, on a patterng it facilitates its removal from the sand. FINISH May be described to be an allowance on certain surfaces of a, pattern so that the surfaces may be inachincd to their correct size. It is allowed only when designated on the drawing by the italic letter f. 36 THE .':lRTISflN CENTER LINES We next learned about center lines and their importance to the joli and l'oundations from which to work or the starting place from which a layout is made. 1 The V block, frame and lever clearly illustrate the importance of the center line. . Up to this point, the patterns made by ns were easy to mold and only elementary principles in pattern making, as applied in the foundry, were taken upg they were for simple green sand molds. The next that was taken up was about patterns with green and dry sand cores, for cxampleg the washer, the link, the lever, faceplate and many others. The lever brings out items pertaining to irregular parting of the mold. The parted pattern. shows the need and use of the dowel. pins and the advantage of a parted pattern, over a solid pattern. We were also shown the balanced core, with core prints and core box. These prin- ciples were brought out in reducer, head T, T pipe, return-bend, and many others. The bracket is a good example of green and dry sand core work and it also illustrates the use of the tail core print. The large sleeve built up in segments, the curved armed hand Wheel, the llat and the armed illywheel brought out many other principles and processes. The coating or inish applied on patterns consists of two or three coats of shellac rubbed down smoothly. The foregoing is a brief outline of what We were taught on pattern making. 'We feel that we have covered and mastered the elementary principles of the art. The work and study were interesting and of practical value in addition to the training of the mind, eye, and hand. THE ARTISAN 37 '3 l r it , 9 W Henry C. Staubitz John Koch Alec Armesden Machine Shop This year we have not attempted to cover more ground, hut rather have tried lo do more thoroughly, accurately and undcrstandingly those flll'1Cl?1l1161'll'?1l operations and problems which will, in the future, insure a more rapid advance- ment and a clearer understanding of machine tool operation. We are lirst given the history of the trade and this is followed by a discus- sion of its opportunities, advantages and disadvantages. Safety precautions are very iniportant to the new student, therefore we are thoroughly instructed and cautioned about the inherent dangers present in all moving machinery hefore heing allowed to operate a machine. VVC are next instructed .in the use of the lathe and learn to do rough-turning, facing, finish-liurning, centering, necking, inside and outside radiusing, knurling, drilling, reaming, grinding of tools, elementary thread cutting, and to use arhors and micrometers. Then we are taught the purpose and operation of the Shaper and learn to rough and finish, p-lane surfaces, and make minor adjustments on the machine. Attention is next transferred to the milling machine where an elementary knowledge of the machine is gained, enabling us to perform successfully surface milling. Bench and drill press work is carried on incidentally with the other machine work. In the senior year a more advanced knowledge and a greater degree of skill is required and the theory underlying the work is practically applied. The more advanced processes, on the lathe are -taught, such as internal and external forms of tlireads,,horing and form turning,-Side planing, slottingand cutting key- ways for- theLihaper,-and the use of thc dividing head and gear cutting on the milling machine. 'l'hc drill-press work, layout work and heneh work advance proportionately. . Part of an afternoon each week is given over to physical,exercise followed hy a shower. 'llhe .remainderxof the afternoon is taken up by a shop lecture at which time' information-suppleinentary to demonstratiopns and shop work is given and difficulties are ironed-out. ' .ln all of the extra. curricula ,activities such- as the orcliestra, hand, hasket- hall,,q1 i'ack, soccer football and 'swimming we have been well represented. At the swinnning meet our shop gave an exceptionally good account of themselves, and we feel that our two years at McKinley School have heen very profitably as well as pleasantly spent. Y . l , We have the best: equipped.Machine Shop in the city , if THE ARTISAN 39 Joseph Archer Artie C. Dolen The Cabinet Shop During tl1e first few weeks ol? our junior year we became familiar with all the hand tools used in the woodworking trade. These are arranged in a shop cabinet which was made for that purpose by several of the boys in the senior class. VVithin. a very short time we were able to recognize these tools by their trade names, sharpen them and use them correctly. Our course of instruction in the shop includes bench-work with hand tools and inillwork. -W'e have a very good selection of the latest wood-working machines sowthat our work is always interesting and useful. ln co-operating with the other departments of the school we have a great variety of work. We made drawing boards for the drafting classes and bulletin boards for several other class rooms. NVQ also made shelving for the science department. All this work provides practice with hand tools. After learning to use the machines we were able to do work in larger quan- tities, using regular trade methods of production. In this way we made for the school department a number of large oak tables. Each one of these was fitted with three drawers and tinished completely including staining, shellaeing and varnishing. These tables will be sent to various schools in the city to be used by sewing classes. Wliile doing this kind of work we change around on the various operations so that each boy has an opportunity to read the blue prints, make out lists of stock required, select and ent off the lumber, measure and lay out the work, do the various operations on the diderent machines, assemble the parts together on the bench, and put on the finish. Our school cafeteria. dining tables needed enlarging to take care of the boys at noontime lunch. We took out one small table at a time and enlarged it by using the same table legs and fitting them with new rails, morticed and tenoned together and a new top with the joints dowelled and glued making a good strong table. After repainting and varnishing the tables, they were better than new ones. Maiking museum cabinets of oak was another interesting job. These were :fitted with glass tops hinged to open and finished to match the regular school 40 THE AR TI SAN furniture. They are now being used in the commercial geography classroom. Wle also made for the cafeteria, a large linen cupboard, with four glass doors, hinged in pairs and rabbeted together, making it almost dust proof. Previous to the Christmas vacation most of the boys made some useful pieces of furniture to take home. The junior class made telephone stands, radio cabinets and hall trees finished in oak, walnut or mahogany. The seniors' choice of something more difficult included piano benches and library tables. George Bradford jointed and glued together some short pieces of mahogany. Out of this material he made a very nice sewing cabinet. Philip Oeehiuo made a11 end table which he stained and finished mahogany. All these projects were seen by the crowd of visitors attending our Christmas Play at the school and proved very interesting to them. YVe always welcome and encourage visitors to inspect our shop at any time. Mr. Archer, our instructor, made arrangements to take our senior class tln'ough, a local. furniture factory. Here we saw all the latest and special wood- working lnaehines and finishing processes used in the manufacture of high grade turniture. lt was interesting to see a number of McKinley Alumni from the Cabinet Shop who are employed at this plant. i p A number of our boys have learned to play instruments in our school band and orchestra. Others have helped to make the school reeordhin athletics as we have boys on several of the sehool teams, ln the school plays our class has always been well represented. ' All the boys graduating from the Cabinet Shop will continue to he inter- ested iu the future progress of lN'I.eKinley Vocational School. Wood Artists PLEASE BE V SEATED! THE ARTISAN 43 Leo J. Burgoyne Bennett Hull . Sheet Metal As the school year draws to a close, it is with a feeling oft S2lllS'litll2l2l0ll that we may say, it has been a successful one for this department. The registration was increased over last year and the new fellows, the juniors, soon got the spirit of the school and the meaning of the slogan. In leaving, it is with a feeling of regret that we must close our associations of the past year. Yet, it is witha feeling of great satisfaction that when we take our places in industry we at least have had the opportunity to equip ourselves with the fundamentals of the trade. Our shop is equipped with the latest tools and machines used in the trade. The Shop is well lighted, heated, and ventilated. The instructors are men of many years of practical experience in the trade and, in addition, are trained teachers from thc.State Normal School. Our work during the last year carried us through many complicated prob- lems and, in addition, we turned out many commercial projects of real Value to the school department. The hood in our own shop erected over the soldering bench removes from this shop, in particular, and the school as a. whole, the acid Fumes and gas fumes tha.t are unavoidable in the work. A hood for the same purpose was erected in the plumbing shop. We also lined some sand tables tor the kindergarten department and made more than three dozen ash cans and pails for the school department. Aside from the serious part of our work, we also participated in all the associated activities of the school. More than sixty percent of our boys played in the band or orchestra. In athletics we olfered much material. Seven of the liftecn runners on the cross country team were from our shop. Hannes was cap- tain of the senior basketball team and Wliitclier captain of the track team while V ieau managed the senior swimmers. In every event sheet metal fellows could be found. For the indoor meet we sold the most tickets and received the first and second individual prizes. The Gecks' Booster Club originated in the sheet metal shop. This club lives up to its name a Booster doing everything it can to help the school. The qualiilication for membership is participation in some athletic event. All of the officers are sheet metal workers. YVillia.m 'XVhitehcr, President 5 Earl Hannes. Vice-president, Duane Getzin, Secrctaryg Joseph Fisher, Treasurer, and Neil Vicau, Sergeant-at-arms. Our Sheet Metal Shop THE ARTISAN 115 Bartholomew D'Arcange1o Plumbing YW, thc Senior P.ll'll1'1lJCl.'S of 1926, are convinced that the Plumbing Trade is one ot the most essential trades connected with the building industry. Plumb- ing is not only essential but a necessity because without it we could not perpetuate health and cleanliness in our homes and cities. Plumbing is an old art existing' in the time of the Roman Empire. Evidence to prove this fact has been uncovered in and around Reine which at one tnne was the seat of the great Roman Empire. We have been taught in a Very proficient and skillful way the various processes necessary for a plumber to know in order to become a skillful mechanic. The following are some of the elementary projects on which we have worked, thread cutting, measuring' and cutting pipes from shop sketches with all the various fittings such as water, gas, drainage, soil, a11d nickel plate all of which are essential in the Plumbing' Trade. During' the two years we have installed with soil and wrought iron pipe various .layouts such as sewers for one and two -family homes with waste and vents for the bath rooms. For lead work we have made root Hangcs, lead fer- rules, soldered seams and wiped horizontals, flange and tee branch joints and constructed lead drum traps. lfn our shop we have a frame building, twelve feet long, twelve feet wide, and twelve feet higli which has been directly con- nected to the sewer, a house trap, fresh air, inlet and all the necessary stacks, vents and waste lines have been installed for two complete bath rooms, two kitchen sinks and two laundry trays. All the piping is tested with water as required by the plumbing ordinance of our city. After the Hroughing' in the work of l'in.ishing is started which consists of setting' and connecting' all the fixtures for the bath rooms, the kitchen sinks, laundry traps, range boilers, and conneetring' with gas heaters. We then go over the entire job for a final inspection, nlling all the fixtures and discharging them to discover leaks and to note if water flows out freely. The gas heaters are put into operation and inspected to note if they heat properly. Our work is C0111 ylete in ever detail havinw sewers Wastes vents, and cold . A y D I 7 ' and hot water to every fixture. We are taught to be able to read blue prints and not only to read them but to be able to visualize our work because building plans show only a plain view of the location of the fixtures and we must be able to draw sketches for the elevation of the iiino' and in that way be able to . . . . . .

A Cur Plumbing Shop OH, THE LIFE OF A PLUMBER! 418 g THE ARTISAN William Massie Plastering ln entering or leaving Meliinlejf Vocational School one is impressed by the beautiful, niche in which the bust of McKinley rests. Glenn Schurr, Leon Dick- tnan, and Joe Odryzwolski were the boys who did all the work on the niche even to the rurniing, casting, and plain work. They did a very nice job considering that they had been in school only about sixteen months when the work was com- pleted. On visiting the plastering shop one would find some of us boys working on the bench making Initres, returns, and other bench work. You would also see some ot us plastering on our rooms, scratching coating on metal lath or, perhaps, brewing or finishing or even running a eornice. The end room is our show room and we as boys are very proud of our exhibit. lVe have clone all the work, making all the molds used, the pauelled wall, the arches on the back wall, the lireplace even down to the imitation brick. The sand finish on the ceiling con- trasts with tl1e Hnish on the walls. The candlestieks are a product of our casting shop. Passing out of the room some of us boys will be found in the casting shop making glue molds or casting some piece of ornanient to be used in the work we do. We have done about eight hundred dollars worth of work repairing the school building this year. In athletics, band, and other school activities we have done our share. The enrollment this year has been exceptionally large. Boys have gone into other classes to wait for an opening in our plastering shop. The attendance has been practically one hundred percent all year in both classes. The year 1925-26 has been a banner year for the plastering class. uw 'E I : YH. gum. wh-m45,7.Nl Our Plastering Shop The Niche T! I E A1iifl'lNA N l Harry E. Rose Bricklayin g liricklaying is not appreciated by most people in a true sense. VVhen one speaks of a bricklayer the first thought to enter the mind is that hc is a person who has a trade that was picked up at random, and without a material back- ground. lVit.l1 this thought in mind we lose sight of the fact that bricklaying is not only a trade but a.lso an art. 'When we learn the artistic side of the brick- laying trade we must be given the same consideration and thought that would be given if we were preparing for a professional career, as many times the brick- layer is cal lcd upon to imply in his work that which is not shown on an architect is blueprint. lNhen We enter the bricklaying class, we must acquire the recognition of the qualities and use of various niortars and the handling of the trowel and brick. From this we build the knowledge of various arraugeinentls of bonds such as Common or Anieriean., Running, Flemish, English, Dutch, etc. These we build in various size walls which take in corners, angles, piers, pilasters and the like so we have the knowledge of the proper bond through the width of the wall. VVe are given the layout and workings of various arches Cwhich are by no means lost to artj, namely segment, gothic, semi-circle, eliptic, jack and others. Vile are taught the layout and squaring of buildings along with tl1e layout and building of fireplaces, which are appreciated by most everybody and which would be an asset to every home. Aside from our getting the practical knowledge of the bricklaying trade, we are also given mathematics, trade science, drafting, English. and other trade theory that is closely related to the trade. For shop projects we have two permanent: exhibits which we completed during the past year. One is the store room for the science laboratory equip- ment, and the other is a fireplace which was built in the main hall entrance. This fireplace in itself speaks for the artistic and practical knowledge that is required of a bricklayer. Along with all the practical and other trade knowledge that we get, there is also a thought that is greatly impressed in our minds, and that our association, protection and safety to our fellowman which will it us and give us a foundation upon which we can build our future life.

William Jones Carpentry VVe, the Senior Carpentry Class at McKinley, have been taught that Car- pentry, or carpenters' work, is divided into three principal heads, namely, descriptive, constructive, and mechanical. The first shows the lines or methods for forming every species of work by the rules of geometry, the second com- prises the practice of reducing the timber into particular forms, and joining the forms so produced so as to make a complete whole according to the intention or design, and the third displays the relative strength of the timbers and the strains to which they are subjected by their disposition. The carpenter works in wood which he receives from the lumber mill in beams, scantlings, and planks or boards. The carpenter must be very skillful in the manipulation of his tools for tl1ere is a Variety of branches in woodwork with which he is liable to come in contact, namely, house framing, outside and inside tri111, store fixtures, fit- tings, joinery work, airplane work, and boat building. These are some of the branches of woodwork that the carpenter must be prepa.red to take up and for whieh he qualified as long as he skillful in the use of his tools. The aim at McKinley has been to instill in us boys of the carpentry class a love for our work, skill in manipulating our tools, knowledge of the elementary principles of woodworking, and the fundamental principles of the trade as par- ticularly applied to framed house construction, The house in the accompanying picture was built by the senior carpentry class, involving various operations, a.nd a knowledge of the various processes and operations. Uommencing with the foundation, we-were taught how to lay out the foundation walls, methods of squaring the building, types of foundation walls and the use of concrete, stone, and brick. NVQ were then made familiar with tioor framing which consisted of making the sills and girders, framing, setting, bridging joists, and laying the sub floors. Next in order, were the partitions which called for the laying out of the sills and ribbonsg framing and raising the st.uds. These studs or partitions then had to be straightened, plumbed, and braced, involving many of the funda- mental operations of the trade. Floor openings had to be framed for the chimney hole, stair opening, etc., and openings were framed for windows and doors in the partitions. A knowledge of the laying out and estimating sizes of openings from given sizes of glass and doors was thus obtained. After the sub floors were laid and sheathing nailed on, we were taught roof framing. 55 THE ARTISAN This involved the laying out of the various types of roofs Cas illustration showsb, the framing of common, hip, valley and jack raftersg laying out ridge board and plate, and the method of raising the rafters into position. The roof framing is taught with the aid of the most wonderful of all the carpenter tools, namely, the steel square. This is one of the oldest tools known to man, and, in its present form, there is hardly a carpentry problem that cannot be solved with it. A great deal of mathematics is involved in the roof framing problems. The foregoing operations would come under the main headings of: 1. Outside rough work. tai Laying out tlij Framing. tcj Erecting. Vile then came to what is called the outside finish which included making and putting on the cornice, roof boards, and shingles. The water table and corner boards were put on, the window frames and outside door frames were set in place, the siding was then put on, and the porch work commenced. This involved framing the porch, laying the floor, making beam, framing and erecting porch steps, and putting on the ceiling. This completed the outside rough and outside finish. The inside of the building then had to be made ready for the plasterer and this meant doing all the inside rough workg framing and setting the carry- ing partitions tand all other partitionsi, methods of trussing same, rough work on stairs, all furring such as ceilings and walls. Grounds were applied to all openings for base, wainseoting, cupboards, also fitting and hanging doors and windows, laying flooring and putting on the hardware. This completed the actual building of the house shown in the picture, of which we are justly proud. ln addition to building the house, we completed the following jobs for the school, from which we gained a. vast amount of knowledge and experience, and inci- dentally a great saving to the city. NVe made and erected display board for exhibition charts, etc. Changed and remodelled doors for various rooms. V Made mortar inixine' box centers for arches iencil iointers, and window ' v . FJ. . 7 A I 7 screens, installed University chairs and shelving. Made door and window frames, scaffold and paperhanging boards. Made and erected lumber racks, bulletin boards, made saw benches, bins for wall paper, rack for storing copper, frame work for bath room, large wooden. tanks for washing blue prints, large key board for hanging up all school locker keys, skylight frames, large heavy rack for holding iron stakes, large sign board for Seneca New Vocational School, repaired drawing cabinets, and also did a great deal of general repair work such as fixing locks, door checks, and taking otlf and replacing trim on doors. - Thus it will be seen from this brief description what the carpentry class at McKinley has accomplished and that only the real wide awake boy can be accommodated. The work is healthy and interesting and our instructor informs us that there are unlimited opportunities of advancement for the skilled mechanic because the building field is so large, and the persons capable of handling executive positions so few, at the present time there are opportunities everywhere for those qualified to grasp them. The carpenters' wages compare very favorably with wages of other industries, at the present time in Buffalo being 56451.50 per week of 44 hours. Future Contractors 5 l i Qur Carpenter Shop X if get 60 TH E ARTISAN Applied Class Work Andrew C. Beam Ervin J. Borth Albert F, Peck Science Science is a search for the truth. Wie do not study the subject as a mass of abstract material. Science is not the learning' of factsg it is the finding of facts and organizing them into useful informationg it is the discovery by the student through a process of investigation of facts pertaining to his trade. This, then, is the aim of science in a vocational school, the finding and organizing' of scientific material as it relates to the trade being' learned. Our industrial system owes its tremendous expansion to the work of the scientist. The pure scientist working in his laboratory has discovered and per- fected tlioize operations which now light our homes, run our machinery, and produce our food. From the dark, smoky, lilthy hut of the savage to the steam heated, electrically lighted home of today with every convenience and every sanitary appliance the scientist has played an all important part. The student in a vocational school made to realize the relationship of science to industry. A vocational school 'prepares boys for industry. Upon graduating our stu- dents enter the ranks of the skilled mechanics some of them to eventually become industrial leaders. A good inechanie must know the nature of the material with which he works. Consequently our science courses contain a study of wood structure, of metals, and of brick mortar, and concrete. Construction work whether a simple machine or a mammoth skyscraper is made possible by the investigation of science. Construction details even to the minutest detail have been carefully tested by the scientist before the architect and engineer proceed with the work. The scientist has made a study of stress and strain. He has gone into the heating, ventilation, and sanitation so that every convenience is made for health and happiness. The student entering the bnilding' trade, should know the scientific principles which have brought about our different types of constructions. Our science work then has as its purpose the teaching of the importance of science in the work of the studentg it touches on a study of products utilized in the tradesg it shows the dependence of construction work on scienceg and has a broadening cultural influence. LECTURE EXPERIMENT 62 THE ARTISAN Nelson E. Nachtrieb Carl A- Witte George Mathieson Joseph J. Hackett 1941 ' Drafting lt is impossible to develop a Hnished tradesman without a delinite knowledge of the language of the trade World of which we will eventually be a part. One of MeKinley's aims to impart to us as much working material as is possible during our course here, therefore trade drafting, another term for the language of the trade World is taught to us. Vtle endeavor to become intelligent readers of the blueprint which in reality is the means employed to pass on to the tradesman the orders for the part or parts of the Work he required to do. In order to do this we must be taught the fll11fl3.1Il611lI2l.lS of mechanical draft- ing' and sueh necessary steps the uses and names of the various instruments, different types of lines, how to read a. scale, relation of views, the principles ot projection, how the objects appear to the eye, and intersections. These funda- mentals are the same for all of tl1e trades, but problems pertinent to eaeli trade are used making' it necessary to have a separate eourse for each trade. This explains the necessity for referring to the drafting taught in a. vocational school as trade drawing. As far as possible we are working under conditions which approach those we will be under in industry. NVhen We begin work in the drawing rooms, we are given a blue print to work from. l7Vhile it is true that this first work is more or less copy Work, yet each print contains new steps for us, and we pro- ceed in such a gradual Way that at the end of our two yearsf sojourn we are not only able t.o read a. blueprint but also able to make our own drawings or plans from rough shop sketches, isometric drawings, and completed projects. An idea of the work aeeomplished by us here at McKinley may be had from the following ouilines of each trade. V THE AIi7'ISA,N 63 In our Plumbing Course we are taught through our drawing the component parts of the drainage system sub-divided as follows: Spout connections, air vents, main and branch sewers, laundry tray connections, sink and bath room connections and refrigerator Wastes. By this niethod we find ample ,opportunity to learn the various fittings such as bends, tees, tys, traps, etc., and their functions. This also gives us, we believe, an excellent opportunity to learn the laws concerning such installations as laid down in the city code. We next take up hot and cold water installations in detail.. All of the fore- going work is part ot the plans of a complete drainage and water system for a one family home. The last thing we do to make the drawings showing a complete plunibing installation from a single line diagram. We inake the coni- plete plans and elevations. In bricklaying we make drawings ot straight walls, corners, and crosses from 4 up to and including 20 walls, in the ditterent bonds, isometric being intro- duced as the course progresses. Paneling, iireplaces and arches are taken up quite extensively. In plastering we are taught to draw plaster as applied to tile and latll. Mouldings, pancling and arches are stressed very thoroughly with us. The students in carpentry draw the connnon wood joints, various types of sill construction, framing details of floor joists, partitions, outside walls, doors, windows, etc. Isometric drawings are used here to a great extent. We draw complete sets of working details of two-story houses, covering framing, and trim. In bricklaying, plastering and carpentry we all finish our courses with the drawings of floor plans and elevations of a two-story house in. brick, stucco or frame according to the trade we are following, with a good explanation of symbols used. 64 TH E ARTISAN Sheet Metal drafting covers another type of drawing. Layout work for the construction of fittings used, is the most essential in this trade. 'We draw problems using' parallel lines, radial lines, triangulation and mensuration. Hot air heating systems are discussed and Worked out. Sizes of pipes and outlets are figured for different type houses and some time is spent on estimating. In our cabinet-making class we learn the various joints and names of parts by llaving to inake drawings of useful articles in which these are incorporated. We make the worlcing drawings of drawing boards, tee squares, window and door frames, stairs, kitchen cabinets, etc., on all of which we get practical work in the shop later. The pattern maker and machinist applies his trade drawing more directly to his Work, than the other tradesmen here at McKinley. In pattern making a drawing or shop layout is made for every detail or part of the pattern being built. Because of this required step drawing is most iniportafut. VVe are taught the rudiments of our drafting as We progress in our shop work, complete layouts being made for each pattern before we attempt to make it in tl1e shop. Our preliminary Work in machine shop drawing consists largely of drawing sueh simple objects V blocks, grooved blocks, bearings, bushings, pulleys, shaft hangers, hand wheels, etc. During our Work on these projects We learn the essentials of mechanical drawing sueh as types of lines used, projection, geo- metric constructions, etc. Our next problems are more difficult, touching on detail and assembly and later in designing of machine parts and machines. We cover drawing, tracing. and blueprint making for all work in all trades, LESSON IN MATHEMATICS T11 E A RY 'I SAN 65 Fred Harsch Ferdinand E. Kamprath Norman E. Metz 2-avg Mathematics ln treating the subject of trade mathematics at McKinley Vocational School, the aim has been to limit this otherwise abstract and terrifying branch of learning to its practical applications in the various trades taught at the insti- tution. This objective, however, necessarily involves the knowledge of various formulas as well as the thorough understanding of the elementary mathematical processes. For this reason our junior classes are given a great amount of drill in the fundamental topics of algebra-addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the solution of linear and quadratic equations and problems dealing with their applications, fractions, fractional equations, and pa.rticul.arly, the mensuration, of general geometric areas and volumes. Our senior classes are given a most extensive drill in the solution of the general types of problems that will be encountered in their respective trades. These problems vary, of course, for dittercnt occupations. In most building trades for example, a ready knowledge of mensuration is most essential. Vlfith this end in view, we are trained not only in the handling of concrete problems, but in the derivation of the formulas used, as well. ln other trades geometric form and construction are important, we are therefore, given demonstration and practice in the use of the straight-edge and compass, An investigation into the operations of numerical trigonometry is entered upon for the benetit of those of us whose calling may require some insight into that most useful subject. Throughout all this work in mathematics several important points have been kept clearly in view and methods followed accordingly. Pure memory Work has been reduced to a. minimum. Merely to memorize a formula, for example, without any knowledge of its derivation is time practieall,v Wasted. Vlfhercas, when the process of obtaining a formula is understood, it can easily be recalled should it have slipped away from memory. Tn this connection. we are given problems that are as general and yet as varied as possible, so that we will be able to recognize what formula, should be used or what method should be employed in attacking any problem that may confront us in our daily work. Apart from all these considerations, however, the prime object has been to instill into our hearts and minds the fundamentals of good American citizenship. 'While the abstractions and pseudo-difficulties of algebra and geometry may not have much direct bearing upon this lofty aim, these studies should, nevertheless, by their incentive to' accuracy, by stimulating interest in mental activity and promoting mental endurance, through their broadening of reasoning and per- ceptive powers, along with the inenleation of good disciplinary habits from the class-room, do much to spur us on to a lifelong creditable American citizenship. 55 THE Ll.Iii7'lS1l.N John Collins l Vvilliarrl M. Sharp Vvallie C, Englund English ln the English classroom we have received instructions in the use of correct English in its application to our trade. VVe have had practice in the spelling and use of trade terms. Expositions on our trade knowledge in the form of processes, operations, and projects have constituted a large proportion of our oral and written work. Industry today necessitates and demands exact under- standing of orders received as well as an ability to give orders and explain clearly the work at hand. YVe were taught the proper writing of business and friendly letters which we shall have to Write in the future. Down with the gross errors of English! is the cry at McKinley. The necessity of it is evident if we wish to better ourselves socially and advance to a high position in our occupation. We feel that we have been instilled with the desire to use correct English. , Sufncient time was spent in the reading of good books to inculcatc an enjoy- ment aud appreciation of what is best in literature. One period a Week was taken up by current topics given by each pupil in the class. These topics consisted of up-to-date news of importance such as scientific endeavor, political programs, and trade news. Material for these talks was obtained from the daily newspapers, The Literary Digest, trade magazines and numerous other first class magazines. Another valuable phase of our English was that of Debating and informal argument. This work tended to arouse much interest for the questions were of vital importance to the class. The classes were divided into teams. This pro- vided the spirit of a game. Each had to set forth a. particular part of the proof. As a result of this work we developed confidence in ourselves. Debating also gives us valuable practice in clear thinking, quick and accurate judgment, fore- sight and expression. Consideration was given to conversation such as a talk or an interview between employer and employee. One boy took the role as the employer and another boy the part of the employee. This provides the boy with the necessary preparation for contact with his future employers.

Roudenbush Industrial Economics Our work in this department gives us practical, training in citizenship and a knowledge of how the work of our particular trade tits in with the general busi- ness offthe world. There are four courses-Civics, Shop Hygiene, Commercial Geography andllndustrial History. lt is necessary to say at the beginning that the subject matter not that regularly associated with the names of these courses, but is especially adapted to each boy 's trade. In Civics we are taught the form ot the government and our duties as citi- zens, including practical studies about jury duty and voting. XVe learn practical politics, the way a man makes his start in the political game, the duties ot the oiidcials with whom we will come in contact 'ind in the buildine' tr-ide fvrou is a study of the local building code. :'a D f cs la Hygiene studied from the point of View of the worker. We learn practical health rules in regard to clothing and lunches. Wie are instructed in simple first aid, safety first and general health habits. The worknian's compensation law is explained and we are shown how to take advantage of its provisions. The Commercial Geography course is divided into two parts. A general study is made of the four factors of industryg primary production, including growing and mining, transportation, manufacture and consumption, These are studied largely in 'relation to the United States. The second section of the work is devoted to a study of forestry, milling and the raw materials we will use in our work. There are three principal, objectives for the Ql'ndust.rial History course. First, we are taught the growth of the modern industrial system. Second, we are shown the important place the worker has filled through the ages, the story of workers' organizations such as guilds, the unions, and finally the important place the worker fills today. The third section of the course tells us the story of our own trade. Vile learn about the master builders, the actual development of trade methods, and the history ot the tools that we use. To suinmarize, the 'purpose of the course in Industrial Economics is to turn out a boy who will understand his place as a worker, have a, broad background for his trade, and a. practical knowledge of his duties as a citizen. THE ARTISAN 69 Cut Museum ' The starting of a Natural Science Museum at Meliinley Vocational School marks the beginning of a new and profitable aid in the teaching of Commercial Geography. It has aroused considerable interest and enthusiasm througgliout the school and a hearty co-operation is evident trmn the response which we receive in the way of contributions from parents, faculty members and students. Witli their assistance we have made this new addition a real asset to McKinley School. Various manufacturing concerns tlireughout the country have sent us many interesting exhibits which help in lll'lllQ,'lllgl' about a clearer and better iniderstanding of the numerous problems in commercial. g'e0g'rapl1y. They give in a visible form splendid information regarding the by-products of many of our natural resources. For instance, the exhibit on cement shows the stages of manu- facture frcnn the raw to the 'finished product, that ol? wood shows the domestic specimens of this ecnintry, while that of asbestos is shown in its original state and through its stages of development to the finished product. The museum is a benefit to us boys learning the various tradcs as it deals with all materials used in the shops of the school. The exhibit of wood has caused very much interest among the boys of the cabinet and earpentry shops. The display consists of twenty-one kinds of wood with the name of each printed on the back of the sample. A great number of boys at the present time can name the niajority of the ditlferent samples without referring' to the printed matter. The exhibit of iron ore, manganese, Hnor ore, silicon and carlnn'undum attracts considerable attention froin the machinists and plumbers, because their know the iron, steel and pipe which they use are made from these ores. 70 THE ARTISAN The exhibits of general interest are: Corn and its by-products, cocoa and chocolate, alabastine, cotton, paper making, and the lifteen processes in the manu- facture of a. fountain pen. All these exhibits are thorough in explaining the course of nianufacture of the articles. ln connection with the niuseuin a small. reference library is being started which contains literature bertaniing to the exhibits and their relation to coin- nierclal geography. VVC are proud of our collection and are constantly planning to add to the same, so that future Mcliinley students may profit by it. , Mr. S. King, Principal of McKinley School. Dear Sir:- Perhaps you would like to hear about Erhart's progress, since he has left your school. As you reineniher Erluufl was only ll years old when l1e graduated. I. had a prohlein ahead of ine to locate work for him. He finally secured work as stock boy at Hengerer's in September. He was well liked, and attended continuation school each week. His tracher there secured a position at the M. 8 T. Trust Company as niail boy for two weeks where he acted as trotter. lle was at the bank one month when he got a position at the King Manufacturing Corporation in the drafting rooin. He has advanced from S148 per week to rl-114 since September. He will follow up his course at night school when Mcliinley opens in the fall. He has never been late or missed a day at work. ln looking over his class book this inorning fl noticed that the title to his picture is Shorty, the little boy with a big future. l thought it was very true. l cannot praise the teachers, principal and school too highly and hope Ralph, his brother, will ilnake a good student when he enters in another year. My best wishes to McKinley and its workers and teachers. 'Yours truly, llarriett XV. Schlenlier April 22, 1926. Principal, Mcliinlcy Vocational School, Buttalo, N. Y.

THE AUDITORIUM McKinley the Beautiful 5 PANORAMIC VIEVV OF MCKINLEY VOCATIONAL SCHOOL A free Vocational School for boysg maintained by Board of Education. Located at 1500 Elmwood Ave., near Delaware Park REAR VIEW OF MCKINLEY VOCATIONAL SCHOOL 74 THE ARTISAN The Library Books have often been spoken of as companions of our leisure hours. If a book is to be a companion, it must be of interest and pleasure to the readers. The library at Mcliinley is a place where the students enjoy to read. On its shelves can be found books dealing with all the common problems of modern industry. Many are illustrative of the various trades which the school offers. This type of book is written to be of practical use to the reader in his work. lf a problem ,arises in the shop and the class differs in opinion, some one may be assigned to go to the library to obtain information on the subject. There are also many books on the industrial and political developnient of the United States. These references are of great help in the study of economies. The English Classics are well represented and any of the required high school hooks' can be found in this section. Technical books can be found listed under the headings of science, mathematics and drawing. We have all learned the importance of using time to some good purpose and the library has proven itself of great help by having books of fiction of only the highest type. The students have shown much interest in these books and as a result many good reading habits have been established. In seleetingfthe content of the library care has been shown to produce a collection of books of wide range of material. Each book is Bled in a. section according to the trade or technical subject with which it deals. Therefore a book is easily found. To be sure, the library is not the largest nor is it the best equipped in book- cases. The students of the McKinley Vocational School have enjoyed the priv- ilege of reading many good books and without a doubt many have made silent companions of books. THE ARTISAN 75 ll l 1,5 , N' i il rt W N i 95' l CAFETERIA Social Lite in a Boys, School All work and no play seeing to have inade Jack a dull boy. .lf there is one thing a school should not be, it is a dull place. We want it pleasant, homelike and sociable. 'lfhe McKinley Vocational School for boys has all these qualifi- cations. Social gatherings bring to mind people in their best dress standing about in dignified and unconifortable positions. At times, l.lllCO111fllO1'lZlblC may be applied to McKinley, especially when some student has been given the opportunity to speak before the assembly because he has in some way distinguished himself either in oratorical or athletic ability. It is always noticeable that the audience enjoys the speaker more than the speaker enjoys the privilege of making his address. Many times talent is discovered and eueouraged by new boys being called upon to speak. Singing and music furnish great enjoyment to the students and in our assemblages we are glad to sing for our many visitors. All the people of the school including the faculty are given the pleasure of singing or they may play their choosen instrument before us on the stage. Again oftilnes the audience is surprised and well pleased with the quality of the voice or music. At the time of the opening of school in September the senior class is made responsible for the entertainment of the entering class. The seniors take a great interest in this work and the juniors are well cared for. At this time the newcomers are shown the ways of the school and in inany cases the wayward ones driven back to the path of learning and work. lt is a real pleasure to see a new boy enter into the field of social activities and push them over the top 100 percent fashion. - 76 THE ARTISAN AUDITORIUM FROM THE REAR The older boys have seen the need of some well organized social club and this organization is termed the Vocational Boys' Brotlierhood. To become a member of this club a student must have made a name for himself in some activityq passed in scliolarship and personality. The Brotherhood has had dances and stag parties and many things are learned about others wishes in meetings which sometimes become rather st1'ai11ccl because of dilferences of opinions. Another order which always has seemed a. little unearthly or underground is the Geeks To become a. member of the Geeks one must have qualiiied on the field of glory, that is, be a full fledged athlete and to have gained honors for McKinley. If any trouble arises or if any forceful hand to enforce obedience in the school is needed the Geeks are foremost in the fight to produce law and order. Wlicise names appear in the order's rollcall no one seems to know. This body of men, as they are all well porportioned, have shown themselves of great usefulness, leading the way to all newcomers and raising the standards of McKinley. Of course, as must bc expected at Hallowe'en time, a little play is offered by the Dramatic Club. These plays have always been a success and they are especially enjoyed if the action is spooky, rather mystifying and of such a nature as to instill a little fear of something supernatural. Tlianksgiviiig time comes and everyone is happy and expectant of good Heats. We are very fortunate to have, we think, the best cooks in town, not only in skill but a.lso in heart and we are always surprised at the various holidays to see special olferings of cakes, .ice cream a.nd puddiugs. 1 a.1n,sure THE AIiiTl.SAN 77 the cafeteria is an attraction to everyone for its good food and as a social center. u After Thanksgiving the snow comes and the indoor sports are in full swingg everyone is out to push the teams over the top and competition is keen. Christ- mas time is nearg the Christmas play is presented, everyone seems to feel the spirit of the season and even the faculty seem much lighter in assigning workg boys are anxious to complete little masterpieces of their art illltl the shops are a scene of great industry. Tl1e last day of school before Christmas has at length arrived and now a little surprise 'to the students, a 'tmovie' most iitted to the season is to be shown. As this announcement is made in assembly everyone appears to brighten and all faces glow. The last day of school is no longer just work, but has become interesting and everyone wonders when the movie will be shown. The afternoon session begins but the ringing of the bells call us to the auditorium. The movie is giveng the whole student body is together to the last minute before school is excused and after the picture has been shown tl1e principal wishes everyone the best of all Christmas times. Our next big event is McKinley Day, in honor of the martyred president. ,lt might also be called senior day because the seniors ofliciate and present the program. Everyone is to bring parents or relatives and some of the boys bring shy pretty girls who may later become relatives. The morning program is well balanced with singing, speaking and musical numbers. The exercises are finished and now the parents are shown about the building and are informed in detail about the shop the student using. Now lunch is ready, 'I said lunch! But lunch is a poor name for such a dinner. 'lf thus far the people have not been impressed, the dinner must surely have helped greatly to satisfy their feelings and at least one good impression is made. In the afternoon a musicale is given by the music department and a movie is shown. Members of the faculty have been presented to a great many parents, many friendships have been established and ideas and desires exchanged. Junior Day is the next attraction. This program is lighter than the one given on Senior Day, possibly because the Juniors wish to cheer up the seniors who will soon be leaving their Alma Mater because the end of the year is rapidly approaching. This day is siinilar in program to the one given by the graduating class with the exception that one or two students may be called upon to give honor to them, to address the juniors. Sometimes the honor is nobly acquitted and then again Knot so goodj. But the day is enjoyed by all, and at this time prospective new students for the school are warmly welcomed. Field Day at Erie Beach comes, everyone, young or old, seems to strike a happy medium and all are boys again. Vile parade proudly down Main street in our Sunday best with our band ahead gayly playing. Our hea.rts are light and we are out for a jolly good time, a.nd if anyone should ask us if we had a good time, we would show surprise. Graduation and becoming members of the Alumni Association now interests the seniors. The Alumni have a banquet for the senior class after which the association rcassembles in the auditorium to hear the special speaker of the pro- gram. Great interest is shown in the Alumni Association and many good times are had by the McKinley Alumni at their Alma Mater during the year. To become a member of the McKinley Alumni one must not only graduate but also pass the test which all good loyal Alumni members have been subjected to before being a. full life sized McKinley Alumnus. Our social life is so varied and fitted to school life that surely no one can say, McKinley is a dull place. 73 THE ARTISAN 1 14 lm 1 Music ln looking back over the various activities of the Band and Orchestra for the past year it seems but yesterday that we had our first meeting and rehearsal in September and very littl.e longer than that when the Band was first organized during the week preceding Easter last year. We had plenty to arouse our interest and make us enthusiastic from thc very beginning of the school year up to its close in June. During the first week of school we members of the baud received the announcement that McKinley band was to play at the Broadway Auditorium during the teachers' convention held in November. This was a very difficult undertaking because out of the hundred who performed on that occasion sixty-six were beginners. lVe were fortunate, however, in having an enthusiast as our Principal and when he said he wanted the best band Buitalo schools have ever had we determined to give it to him. Under the direction of our great friend and leader, Mr. Carl NV. King we practiced faithfully and long. Soon the results began to show and in a few weeks we were actually playing diliicult music ensemble. This first engagement of the band at the Broadway Auditorium seemed to have paved the way for a busy season so far as the Band is concerned. Some of the engagements being as follows: Voca- tional indoor meet at the Broadway Auditoriumg P. A. L. indoor meet at the Broadway Auditoriumg Radio Concert over station YVMAK5 Concert before the Kiwanis Clubg Concert during the senior play at Bennett High Sehoolg Annual field day and outdoor track meet at Erie Beach. We, the members of the band, have received something infinitely more bene- ficial than could have been possible with any other activity connected with the schoolg that is the love and appreciation of good music and a lasting recreation. THE ARTISAN , 79 Carl W. King Wliile some of us may continue the study of music as a vocation the 1IlHj0l'llTy of us, however, will follow some skilled trade, nevertlieless, the majority of us will have gained something which can never be taken from us and for which We will owe a lifelong obligation to our leaders who made this possible.. This musical organization, '4Tlie Best School Bauclll in the State, barring none, is very fortunate in having a capable leader, but a great amount of credit must be given to every member of the organization. lVithout the Willing eo-opera- tion and earnest endeavor of every member we could not attain such heights of musical efheiency in such a. short time. Our reed section has built itself into one of which our director is very proud and While every member in that section plays his part very well, special mention must be made of boys who started at the beginning of the year and have made such rapid progress that they are new able to play .all solo parts. Some of these boys are as follows: Charles Provenzano, Arthur Bamberg, Joseph Fischer, Ells- worth Hunter, Clarence Daniels, lValter Jones, clarinet players. Also Harold Baine, oboe, and John Keck, bassoon, Thus it is with every other section oilf the band. Each member deserves special mention but especially is this so with Mr. Edward Gottsch on BB bass, Lloyd Crockett on euphonium, Alfred VVieser, bass drum, Edward Miller, cym- bals 5 Theodore Lorentz, Earl Savage and Julien Uhrieh, snare and trap drums and Carl Hagerstroin, Harold Davis, YValter Smyk and Jesse Ralph, tronibones. Our trumpet section is exceptionally Well balanced due entirely to the efforts of such boys Gerald Billings, Duane Geetzin, Arnold V andervelden, Wil.lia1n Bouley, Vernon Mooney, John Staby and George Horvath. Finally, We come to the boy who has been the outstanding star of all the members of the band, namely David Neill. David has modestly and quietly gone about his Work and has made a name for hiniself in this school as a cornctist. David now occupies Hrst chair in the band and we all know that he has the brightest prospects ahead of him for a fine musical career. S0 yy 'THE' .filzrlsfiif Orchestra Our Orchestra for this year has shown that with additional training it could be developed into one of the best in this locality. This organization, While not receiving' the same amount of publicity as the Band, has plugged along adding its bit to the social life of the school, confining its activities mostly to assemblies, dinner music and other social events about the school. iVe have, however, played over VVSVS and furnished the incidental music for our school play at Bennett High School. A l V Our present inembersliip comprises iifteen violins, two 'cel1os, four clarinets, four truin vets two trombones llute oboe bassoon alto saxo yhone tenor saxo- . 7 7 7 7 7 7 phone, baritone, tivo french horns, piano and drums. Witli this group as a foundation we will be in a position next year to pro- duce a quality of music which will bc on a symphonic basis. On a Symphonic Planf' this is our motto for the coming year. From all indications it will be up to the band to Watch its laurels for, with the orchestra on the same working schedule as the Band, there is going to be lively competition in seeing which is going to be the better organization. Our singing has been exceptional this year for every boy seemed to enter into the spirit of every song and put his best efforts into it. This is entirely due to the 'untiring efforts of our Principal. and fl doubt if anywhere in the city there can be found boys' voices which can be compared with those of the McKinley Singers. icWRtCl1 for next year's Glee Club. ,- 'T . l in-,a.wL.ng musing' .,., ., 4 I ,sy u Mn.. 2 2' 1 Ae A-.1 TT FRONT LINE OF PARADE BOY PLACING WREATH ON MCKINLEY MONUMENT Boys.Wi11. be Boys but sometimes -They are Girls Andrew C.

Cross Country was to be run by the Vocational Schools. This meant a distance run for the first time, and to the surprise of all, McKinley had 15 boys report for practice the first day. This squad was finally cut to the required 15 in a short time, and real training started. The boys were faithful in their work and were well rewarded for their ettorts the day of the race. The scoring for a cross country run as follows: The school scoring the least points is considered the winner. Points are scored according to the places at the tinisli, as: one for iirstg two for secondg three for third, etc. The first five from each. school to finish are totaled.

THE AHTISA N 93 Indoor Track and Field Meer SENIORS 1926 Never before have the McKinley track and field aitliletes scored such 21 decided victory over their opponents as in this, the first indoor intervocationul truck and field meet. Our good friends, the Seneca vocational school, were the only ones to give us any kind of keen competition. The other groups seemed to lack inorzile and school spirit. It is great honor to win ighting hard, and it is just as highly honorzible to lose putting up a game iight. A McKinley has built up a wonderful school spirit and in all they ulidertzxke the best of effort is given. If we win we win without gloating, and if we lose we are the first to congrzitulzite the winner. Good spo1'ts1ua.11sl1ip, i'l,1ilLl fair play, and the best that you can give, are the pass words for our athletes.

This innnecliateljy increased interest in all our sports. The lntervocational Athletic League was formed and rules and regulations for the conduct of all sports were formed, based on the high school standard of athletics. This was the first indoor track and field meet and to the greatest surprise, and pleasure to all, the armory was crowded. Everything went in excellent shape and cnthusiasin among the schools ran high. McKinley had their band of nearly one hundred playing. Elm also played.

At the time of this writing our junior team has played but one game, that being with the Elm vocational school. In this game McKinley showed its greatly improved strength in this sport and defeated its opponent to the score of 14 to 6. In the first llllllllg the McKinley players practically cinched the game. The superior judgment and play of our boys gave them nine runs in this inning, which completely upset the morale of the Elm players. p Everything seems to indicate that McKinley will possess another trophy to add to their large collection.

McKinley Vocational School found it necessary to organize an Alumni Association to keep in touch with all its graduates. The Alumni Association was organized three years ago. lt was organized on a. plan that differs from any other alumni in the United States. This method, which originated at the school, shows its merits in that it eliminates all dead wood, keeps the organization in high spirits, and has a done lmndred per cent. membership. lt also keeps the boys on a high social and moral standing. The President of the Senior Class automatically becomes the President of the alumni. He cannot hold oitiee for more than one year. This enables him, with the help of the school faculty, to become familiar with all the necessary details, social events and business of t.he alunmi. He must keep a record of all the alumni members, notify them of all events taking place, appoint all committees to take charge of entertainment, also notify these committees of special meetings so that there no interruption in the order of procedure. The alumni meets twice a year during the months of Julie and December. ln the June meeting all the graduates are voted upon, and after being accepted into the alumni, an initiation immediately takes place. Then all members of the alumni are invited to a big dinner at which several notable speakers are heard. At our December meeting Dr. Ernest Hartwell, Superin- tendent of Buffalo Schools, and Mr. Francis Viling, Superintendent of Vocational Schools, were the speakers. At the December meeting the open discussion takes place at which time the various members are questioned at random as to their progress in the trade they are following, their working conditions, also their view on life at school and while at work. During the year at various times it is interesting to note several familiar faces, other than our regular student body, among the boys in the morning exer- cises. These usually turn out to be alumni members who, being at leisure, visit their old school and the faculty. After graduation it is found that they enjoy coming back to sing a few old songs, visit the shops and note the changes in the course of study and the method of teaching. They are quick to note any change taking place and do not hesitate t.o inform the facility of what they had observed. XVe can always count on a. large percentage of the alumni members at all athletic events which take place when McKinley school is involved. At the various dramatic and musical events they are always at hand. Their final request is 'tl'Jon't forget to notify me when you have another good time in store for us, and Ohl, by the way, when do we go to Fort Erie? UI must let my boss know in time so that I can get away on that date. 104 THE ARTISAN A Composite Poem Sometime ago an American was traveling in Australia, when he came to a sheep-herder's deserted shanty. ln some old papers i11 the shanty he found a poem which proved to be a literary curiosity.

QYOII-Gligj 4 l THE flRT1Srl.N 105 The Hammer A hammer is a most useful and necessary tool in the hands of a carpenter or anyone who has a legitimate use of it. NVitl1 it you may drive a nail or bruise a. finger. When one needs a ,hammer 'he needs it badly. It is really a house- hold necessity. To bring to the hammer is a term often used when one is com- pelled to sell at auction his personal property. The carpenter then and the auctioneer as well use the hammer. The miner uses a hammer to drive his drill. The circus man uses a hannner to drive the stakes for the tent ropes. The stonecutter uses it to guide his chisel.. There is the riveting hammer, the tack hammer, blocking hammer, lnficklayer's hammer, steam hammer and trip ham- mer. Hammers of stone are still found in the relies of antiquity and are still in use among barbarous races. There is the piano hammer, the gun hammer, the dental hannner, the horseman's hammer, the blacksmith 's hammer, and the forgerls hammer. There are more kinds of hammers than anything else in the world. In mythology there is Thor hannner by the throwing of which thunder and lightning was caused. Everyone of these hammers, even the mythological one, has some good and legitimate purpose but there is just one hammer in the world that is the opposite of all these others and that is the hammer which the professional knocker wields with such malicious and fatal results. That is one hammer which should forever be east out from the line of ancestral hammers of 'fame and dignity. lf you are toting a hammer like this throw it away. Bury it. so deep that you will have to go around on the other side of the globe to resurrect it. This kind of a. hammer should never be used.

The Letter EH Someone has expressed the opinion that the letter E is the most unfor- tunate letter in tl1e alphabet because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in hell all of the time. Our editorial sanctum adds that for some reason the writer of the above overlooked the good qualities of the letter E and calls attention to the fact that it is never in war, always in peace, and never in prison. It is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease, and the end of trouble. Vfithout it there would he no life in Heaven, no sleep and no eats. flt is the center of honesty, makes love perfect, and without it there would be no carpenters in America. The poorest religion is the kind tl1at is used for a cloak. Many a ll1El11,S idea of popularity is to have a great big funeral. The most valuable education comes from making blunders. 106 THE ARTISAN OLD DARKEY'S ADVTCE ' ' Dontt be what you ain'tg Jes' be what you is. lf you is not what you am, Then you ani not what you is.

Go back into the boyhood of that taxi driver and somewhere you will find some training in the home, school, or church where he learned that it was not a, fine and showy thing to he honest. He didnlt learn that he would get credit for being honest. He simply learned that it was his duty as a man and a citizen to be honest. Wliat a wonderful lesson it is once it learned! I only did my duty. Schools of Industry, schools where the simple knowledge learned from hooks is made pointedly useful, and immediately applicable to the duties and business of life, directly conductive to order, cleanliness, punctuality, and economy schools on such principles, deep as the lowest depths of society, and leaving none of its dregs untouched, are the only means of removing the scandal and the danger that besets us in this nineteenth century of our ljorcl.-Diclivens. w It has always been in my observation of human nature, that a man who has any good reason to believe in himself never iflourishes himself before the faces of other people in order that they may believe in liini.-D'ich'eo1s, It is a pleasant thing to reflect upon, and furnishes a. complete answer to those who contend for the gradual degeneration of the human species, that every babv born in the world is a, finer one that the last.-Dichzens' Nicholas Nickleby. THE ARTISAN V 109 INITIATIVE The world bestows its big prizes, both in money and honors, for but one thing, and that is initiative. Vtfhat is Initiative? l'll tell you: lt is doing the right thing without being told. But next to doing the thing without being told is to do it when you are told once. That is to say, carry the Message to Garcia: those who can carry a message get high honors but their pay is not always in proportion. Next there are those who never do a thing until they are told twice: such get no honors and small pay. Next, there are those who do the right thing only when Necessity kicks them from behind, and these get inditference instead of l1o11ors, and a pittance for pay. This kind spends most of its time polishing a bench with a hard luck story. Then, still lower down in the scale than this, we have the fellow who will not do the right thing even when some one goes along to show him how and stays to see that he does it: he is always out of a job, and receives the contempt he deserves, unless he happens to have a rich Pa, in which case .Destiny patiently awaits around the corner with a stutfed club.

There is little Wisdom in knowing that every man must be up and doing, and that all mankind are made dependent upon one another. Forty per cent. of the people in the United States raise enough food to feed the other sixty per cent. and have a lot left over to ship to other lands. Over in China from eighty to eighty-five per cent. of the Chinese are farmers and yet they barely raise enough food to feed the other fifteen or twenty per cent. Chinese civilization as far as top-cream of scholars goes, is of fine quality. But what a dismal failure it is for all but a handful. The glory of America is the amazing achievement of having made living tolerable and even comfortable for the greater number. To be sure there is much more in true civilization than industrial and scientific advancement. But without science and industrialism, most of ns humans would be in poverty and just like the millions of the enslaved classes of the Far East. A woman will cut out most everything to reduce, but not a blamed thing to reduce expenses. Perhaps all things come to him who waits but there are some things not worth waiting for.

Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it, maybe, in all our innocent. endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulations, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another. -Robert Louis St6'U6'I7fS07l-. 112 THE AR TISAN - Indeed, have very grave doubts whether. il good COI111I1Cl'Cl2ll country, 11old- ing CO1.l11I1l1l1lC2i.110l1 with all parts of the world can better Cliristianize the benighted portions of it that by the bestowal of its wealtli and energy o11 the Hlillilllg' of good Christians at hoine, and o11 the utter removal of neglected and untaught childhood from its streets, before it wanders elsewhere.

The answer is usually patience. Many have courage to start things. Few have the patience to ljnish. Many have ideas some of which are good. Most quit when tired. People fear they will shorten their lives by overwork. Vlfhy live a long life if you don 't get anything done? 'llhere are worse things than shortening your life hy over-work. For example-pie longing your life by not taking any chances and not finishing the hard jobs. All men are not homeless, but some men are home less than they should be. In my humble opinion, says Queen Mary, a woman should wear only what is really becoming. In the opinion of one who knows nothing about fashions, that sounds reasonable. Just because you have a small job or a. small shop and a small plaee in the world is no reason that you can not do good Work. .lt is a greater triumph to do something with small means than to do mueh when you have everytliing one eould wish to do with. There is sueh a, thing as educating a person beyond his intelleet. lt is like hanging line clothes on a dummy. Nobody is 'fooled after the first look. It is the peculiarity of a tool to perceive the faults of others and to forget his own. A man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one.

Today as in our earlier years the trial of a Holton is all that is needed to prove there is a different feeling' when you place a Holton to your lips-a, feeling of eoutidenee that here is au instrument you eau absolutely depend ou. And as you continue playing' on a Holton you wonder at the ease with which you handle passages in music that had seemed almost impossible. You are astonished at the ease with which you play-how mueh more you can do without getting tired. These points are all built into Hol- tou.'s. They are the outstanding qual- ities that have made Holtous the choice of the most discriminating musicians in America. They are the qualities that really eount. For while there is of course a. feeling of pride in using the same in- strument that Herbert Clarke, Arthur Pryor, Eddie Llewellyn and artists of equal note are using-a greater feeling of confidence in the instrument you have selected--after all is said and done it is the playing' test that counts. NVQ believe in it and have made it as easy as possible for you to try a, Holton by loaniug you the instrument of your ehoiee for ten days absolutely free. ilMW1:rn:u::ln1r ..i 'H X t nlu ll- fffnl It ill: l i Y f . hw- ' rf f UFg 1Q'lQ llllll '9'lt...
