Print shop is an important representative of the shop courses available to the interested student. There are 60 students enrolled in Mr. Gerald E. Concidine's industrial printing classes who are called the "printers devils.''

The course is considered by Mr. Concidine as a "bread and butter" course. He has had boys leave his printing classes immediately after graduation and step into good jobs with newspapers and printing shops.

Many of his former students work at the printing trade in this vicinity and quite a few of them own their own shops.

Each student has his own case of foundry type, type bank, and work station. These working areas closely resemble actual ones found in printing shops and newspaper offices. Each boy plans a daily project which must be approved by Mr. Concidine Then the boy figures his work, sets up his job, locks in his type, and turns out his printing.

The boys learn to use the same kind of machinery and equipment that is found in a modern print shop. They learn to set type, to use lever cutters, slig‑cutting saws, stitcher machines, plate presses, hand‑feeding presses, and linotype machines

According to Mr. Concidine, a boy at Maine West may take four years of printing if he is interested.
