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 .

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 . . . . . .
