Wffflffiflfl vertical rules made the other. This is just one example of the hun- dred and one jobs our busy print shop turn out. The Purple and Gold, our an-nual, is another fine example of Mc- Kinley's good printing. All the work on the annual is done by the McKinley print shop, including the printing, embossing, binding and making of the covers. The cuts only are made outside. The print shop is a wonderful asset to the student-body life at Mc- Kinley, co-operating in putting over all the different events and as- sisting in the various activities. Cheerful Service is the slogan of NlcKinley's print shop. The printing classes are also important to our school because print- i-ng is a growing vocation, and many boys learn enough about it to be able to earn their living in a print shop. Many graduates from our school are now holding steady positions in some of Los Angeles' largest printing establishments. lf the teachers and the School Board had their work done by a private printing plant it would cost a large sum. Also if McKinley had The Trail, our school paper, printed by another school or in a pri- vate print shop, it would soon become too great an expense to con- tinue.-Edward Heil, A9, H. R. 43. The Value of Mechanical Drawing One of the ma-ny interesting subjects taught here at McKinley is mechanical drawing. In many cf the junior high schools this subject is not taught, so you see the boys of McKinley Junior High School are very fortunate. All of the engineering courses in senior high schools and colleges require mechanical drawing. lf a person could take an engineering course without mechanical drawing, he would be like an automobile without a steeri-ng gear. The boys who take mechanical drawing learn freehand and me- chanical lettering. After considerable practice, they can letter almost as fast as an ordinary writer can write. Of course some people can letter better tha-n others. They also learn to read blue-prints that are used in the shop. In l.LlLLJ..LcLLLLLLLJLLL L

Iffffffimffffffiffl many of the trades blue-print reading is used. Mr. Cassell, who is the teacher of mechanical drawing has some of the boys make blue-prints, and explains to them the action of the sun on the chemicals. Mechanical drawing here at McKinley is divided into two classes, architectural and machine drawing. ln the former the boys lear-n to draw house plans and in the latter they draw parts of machinery. As a whole, from the time they begin lettering to the time when they can draw the most intricate pla-ns, they find the work very inter- esting, and know it will always help them to make themselves useful. -James Parker, BQ.
