A1oUR BRoADeAsT1No srarion f Doings in the Print Shop The Trail, all the programs used in the school, the song book, many extras, and The Purple and Gold have all been made by the boys in the print shop under the excellent instruction of Mr. Lewis. XVe have all been working very hard to get the annual ready by the end of the term. During the spring vacation Mr. Lewis and from ten to twelve of the boys came to the print shop at nine in the morning and stayed until four every day. All the boys like Mr. Lewis because he full of fun and like a big boy him- self. ln the morning when the boys come in, he greets them with a smile and tells them what to do: Jimmy, take the little press and keep up your ink nice and black. La Mar, set this little item up for the Trail. Here, Phil, lock this job up for the big press. Chuck, you help Terry assemble those song books, and he sure and get the pages in their right order. Earl, do you think you can stitch those song books straight P Danny, how are the ads for this week's Trail. Did you check-up on the new phone numbers ?,' That's fine, La Mar. Now proof it and bring it to me O. K. Here, john, set this up for the Annual out of eight point bold. George, here is a half-page ad for the annual. I've laid it all out for you. Now give us a nice, tasty job. All right, Philg put it on the press, lockups up, watch your grippers, and set your guides straight. And so he goes on from day to day, always the same, happy, cheerful Mr. Lewis.-Fred Eldred, B9. The Trail The Mcliinley Trail, our school paper, has been an essential factor in the school life at McKinley during the tour years of its existence. On its pages the history of our school is being written. for it is The Trail which tells of the events which happen daily at Mcliinley. Not only does it tell about that which has happened but about plays, concerts, drives, etc., which are going to happen. XVe learn of opportunities to share responsibilities and joys with other Mcliin- leyites. The Trail fosters the good will and spirit of co-operation that is a neces- sary part of every loyal Ncliinleyite. The A9 journalirtm class is responsible lor the publication of our paper, and the staff officials are elected by the members of v . i ' A i 1. . , , i I' v v, ,, l . I . , i 5 .

This will place Mcliinley in the lead in printing among Los Angeles junior high schools. , The present equipment of the print shop is as follows: One l2xl8, and one 10x15 Chandler X Price New Series joh press, a power lioston wire stitcher, an Advance paper cutter, a Portland Multiple punching machine, a Poco proof press, lZ type stands with eleven cases each, which en- alules the l2O students to each have his own caseg an assort- ment of horders, rules, type, and ornaments that are generally used in an up-to-date commer- cial establishment. One of the principal projects of the print' shop is the printing of our school paper. From 1,200 to 1,500 Trails are turned our Sfmmel J- Lewis. Weelilx, fl' h C T I, ,I I uquqllv Instructor in the art of printing . C . 4 contains from four to six pagesg occasionally, however, there are eight pages, and at the end of each term a twenty-page A9 edition is printed. The Purple and Gold, lVlcKinley's year hook, is also printed in the print shop, a task that is not often attempted even hy high schools, and we feel safe in mak- ing the statement that McKinley is the only junior high school in the city that prints and hinds its own annual. Numerous johs such as programs, tickets, notices, rule forms for the attendance and principal's oliices, promotion slips and cards, etc., are often made for the faculty, student body, and the different departments, as well as for grammar schools and Parent Teacher Associations in the district. The hum of the presses is continual in our print shop and the amount of work turned out rivals that of any commercial shop of the same size in the city. The faculty and student liody wish to express their thanks to Mr. Lewis and the boys of his department for the service they render so willingly.-Katie Cline, A9

oUR BROADCASTING s'iTtT1oN ml Ls.-1 K the class. The pupils in the B9 class act as reporters. Many class rooms and clubs have special reporters who turn in news items. The journalism classes appreciate the helpful criticisms given by their advisor, Miss Baller, and also the co-operation of Mr. Lewis and his printing classes. They have made it possible for us to be of real service to the student body and faculty. - - The SMH. - The Mimeograph Department The mimeograph department, which is under the management of Miss Proctor, has proved, during the past term, to be very useful as well as inter- esting. This department has put into circulation many mimeographed sheets for faculty mmbers, especially Miss Baller, who sends out much material for the use of the English teachers. The ninth grade pupils who are accurate and do good work in typing, have been perniitted to run the machine. VVhen the copy is being typed, the keys must be struck a little harder than usual, and after the stencil is made, many sheets may be mimeographed in a very short itme.-Rosa: Riesclzberg, A9 The Purple and Gold, McKinlev's Year Book Our school annual, known as The Purple and Gold, is fully a McKinley project. Many pupils volunteered willingly to write articles describing our life here at school, and it has been the work of the staH to correct and com- pile them. W'e have not always been able to give credit to the writers, for sonie articles have been unsigned, and sometimes been able to use only a sentence or a paragraph, because so many have written on the same subjects. We want here to thank everyone who has contributed to make this book a suc- cess.-Tlzr' Siu-lf.
