The most expenf sive piece of equipment there, and probably in the entire building, is the cylinder press on which our school newspaper, the Pantograph, is printed. Of course, the fact that a boy is taking printing doesn't mean that he helps print it. Only the third' year boys do this. However, the sec' ondfyear boys do printing work for the school, such as tickets, programs, posters, and various types of business forms. First year work is really straight composition. Each boy has his own type case and sets up jobs from it. Some of the main objectives of the course are to help boys who have a special ability to get into printing trade and to teach consumer know' ledge, appreciation for art in print' ing, some of its history, and its im' portance as an industry. XVOODXVORKING The fundamental aim of the woodf working course is to train boys to work, to teach them how to get a job in industry, and how to hold it. The only class instruction given is during the first two weeks of the year. After that the work is individf ual. The boys are told to decide upon a project, to design it, and then to make out a stepfbyfstep procedure. The principal things stressed in their projects are design, construction, and finish. The boys taking the elementary course make such things as end tables, foot stools, dressingftable benches, and study tables. The boys in the ad' vanced classes make almost anything, provided, of course, that they have the ability and the money to pay for the materials. Last year one of the stu' dents made a complete set of dining room furniture, which cost him apf proximately 526. When a boy is ready to start upon a new project he pays a deposit in advance for the materials he will use and then pays the balance when it is completed. The classes are organized to take care of the equipment. Each boy has his job and a record is kept to see that he remembers to do his part. XYOOXYORKINU teaches the use of many machines. some of which are shown in the picture. The boys are Henry Nagel. Donald Barrington. Vfalter Younghans. junior Bergerhafer. Bill fvlcfvlahan. Francis XX'eber. XX'arren jones. Bill Davis. Harold Nlallin. and T. Crossland.
