PURPLQEZCULD A A class of interested boys at work in McKinley'S busy print shop. One of the busiest departments at McKinley i's the Print Shop. It has proven itself invaluable to both the student body and the members of the faculty. During the six years of its existence, under the management of Samuel J. Lewis, the boys in the Print Shop are able to turn out printed matter of high quality in such quantities that the service rendered to the school is of great value. ' 1 In this period of time McKinley's Print Shop has grown to be one of the biggest in the state of California, among Junior High Schools. The present equipment which make things quite easy to do in such short time, are: A Model Eight Linotype, a steel composition table, a stone composition table, a Poco proof press, two Chandler 8a Price pressesg a lead and slug cutter, mitering ma- chine, a Boston wire stitcher, an Advance paper cutter, a Portland Multiple ,punching machine: a battery of cases to supply the 120 students, -so that each may have his own case, there are borders, rules and all sorts of type and ornamental cuts, the same as used in all up-to-date commercial and industrial printing establishments. One of the important projects of the print shop is the printing of our school paper. From 1,000 to 1,500 Trails of 4 to 8 pages are turned out eve1'y week. At the end of the term an A9 edition containing 20 pages or more i-s printed. The Purple and Gold, McKin1ey's year book, is also printed in our own print shop. McKinley is probably the only Junior High School in the city that prints and binds its own Annual. Numerous jobs such as programs, notices, rule forms, promotion slips, envelopes, cards for attendance odice, posters, statements, certificates, and many others are completed. I Y - 1 The constant humming of the presses and the noise of the working Linotype can be heard by the students passing through the hall, indicating the industry in the Print Shop.-Milton Lieberman, S'27. , ' -
