That's nice to see that the old presses are atill around and that students are learning to print the old fashion way. The way a lot of us learned how to do it.

Wow, this brought back memories! When I attended Eliot we rotated through 4 shop classes, 1 each semester for the then-2 year term, 7th and 8th grades. Drafting, Woodshop, Metalshop and Printing. I used those very presses under the direction of one of those rare teachers who made a difference in life, Mr. J.C. Domenico.
To this day the smell of printers ink brings back a flood of wonderful memories. Thanks for the article and thanks to Eliot for keeping the tradition alive.
