              The Indiana Boys' School Herald. VOLUME 34, NUMBER 4. PLAINFIELD, INDIANA. SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1935. $1.50 for Year. VOCATIONAL NEWS. PRINT SHOP SPOTS Instructor: Mr. Starken. Reporter: George Jen. The Print Shop received some more paper to make our school tablets. We have already made 1,500 and are making some more. Mr. Starken has made a change in the Print Shop. The 8 and 10 point type cases are along one side af the shop and the boys are now setting type for the Bakery Shop Manuals and that is some job. As Strange and Dalton have been paroled the Print Shop has almost had a breakdown. Dalton was the linotype operator in the morning force and he is missed because now we haven't a linotype operator in the morning force. Louie Reed is a great linotype operator now and he is second best. If King should leave he would be the best. That is all this week so I must bid you so long until next week. Our Motto: "Printers ink makes men think." BARBER SHOP Instructor: Mr. F. Scotten. Reporter: Dean Nellans. Our regular reporter is out of commission this week and maybe for many weeks to come so the relief reporter is coming to take a crack at it. Turner has been working in the office for the past few weeks. He is a bell-hop. That is, he rings the bell at the end of the first period. Kinnebrew and Nellans have the job of taking care of the new boy, since Turner quit. They say the bathroom is their domain and nobody else. Kelly was taken sick and had to go to the hospital. He is still there. This is our busy week. We are cutting the upstairs grades this week and have to step lively to get them all cut during the week. There is quite a few officers and their wives coming in now so we get practice almost daily on outside haircuts. Mr. Scotten says it improves our work and inspires us to turn out better haircuts. In our vocational class we have been learning to give singes and massages and are learning the different kinds of contagious diseases and also bones of the head and face. We all get pretty good grades for an amateur. We hope to be apprentices some day. Nellans is the clearest boy in the shop. We hope he keeps ever the good work. The boys on their last three laps are the same as last report. We wonder who will go first. Our Motto: Don't put off today what you can do tomorrow. SHOE SHOP Instructor: Mr. Filo Hill. Reporter: William Chambers. We will open this report with Chambers receiving a visit and Stapleton receiving a stripe. Chambers is teaching Lynn and Stapleton how to repair shoes. Freed and Tooley are making mattresses for Co. 8. They have three made at the present time. The teachers must have caught up with Bradberry because he has started back to school. As news is scarce we will close. Our motto: We are not preachers but we sure can save soles. Is Your Report In This Week. Last week an unusual happening took place in the Print Shop. The reports from the grades were lost, and did not appear in the paper. Full credit was given in the percentage column for all grades as the percentage was figured out before the reports were lost. When the reports came into the Print Shop they were given to a boy to type, in order to speed up composition when they get to the linotype. The reports were taken out of the envelopes, but not typed. In cleaning up it was thought that the reports had been typed, and they were thrown in the trash can, taken out and burned. We are sorry. Mr. Scales Sponsors Sunday Program. Mr. Minuard Scales' program Sunday was strictly a "home talent" production, being minus any outside people, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The band presented another new number in the opening march, which was entitled "Connecticut." The pledge was said, and "Where the Gates Swing Outward Never" was sung. Trombonehead and Hot Stuff, featuring Johnny Arnold, Dewayne Mathias and Edward Mansfield, was the first presentation. The skit was made up of musical numbers, repartee, and acting. The act took about fifteen minutes. The Quartet, lacking a name, sung "Six Weeks from Home." Mr. J. H. Wheeler, who was in charge of many such groups of singers, offered a prize for a name suitable for the quartet. The Boys' School Herald (funny page) was a bunch of jokes given by Robert Saban. The editor of the Herald wishes to inform Robert that although his jokes were very good, they were never printed in the Herald. The band played another piece which it had never played before the boys. The title was "The Man of the Flying Trapeze." Mr. Stanley invited the boys to join in and sing. The only words the majority knew was the title line. In the absence of Dr. E. M. Dill, Mr. H. A. Klein read the cadet record. Two Company Five boys and one Company Ten boy were fifty-two weeks clear. Several Companies had clear records for the week. Dismissal was in the regular manner.
