JOHN J. SCHOMMER John J. Schommer, the guiding influence behind Armour Tech's athletic affairs, has faced a difficult and exceedingly trying situation in his attempts to place Armour's athletic teams among the leaders in interscholastic competition. If he continues to be as successful as he has been in the past. Armour will have her name, more and more, before the public of not only the Chicago area but also the entire Middle West. The Institute will be able to draw up full schedules for all its teams and supply the opposition necessary to build up first-class teams. The Armour Relays have also contributed to a great extent to the fine reputation that Armour enjoys in athletic circles. Each year, for the last nine years, Professor Schommer has planned the event which is the peak of the athletic year for the stars of every track team in the central part of the country. Because of his unfailing ef- forts. the Relays, this year, v ere a larger and more colorful track carnival than ever before. Armour Institute of Technology is extremely fortunate to have a man capable ugh to devote the time necessary to shoulder the responsibilities of directing the activities of the athletic staff. Such a man is John J. Schommer. 24
