4 THE ARSE N AL CANNON more departments, which were molding, tile-setting, printing, carpentry, machin- ery, applied science, and masonry. Eighty students were enrolled at the school during the first semester. The school continued to grow until the enroll- ment reached five hundred, in 1908. The pharmacy course was directed by J. H. Gertler, assisted by live teachers. This school occupied all three floors of the barracks, and was well equipped. The school of decorative painting was located in the Fresh Air School. House painting, interior decorating, sign paint- ing, and show-card lettering were taught. Assisted by two teachers, G. K. Hen- derson directed the lithography school, which was located on the entire second floor of the main building, or what was then called the Graphic Arts building. The course in electric wiring was taught in the power house, under the direction of R. NI. lNfIurray and two instructors. The course in moulding was directed by E. A. Johnson with the aid of one teacher. This school was located in the west wing of the shops. The students, while learn- ing, also did commercial work, and each student earned four dollars and twenty cents a week besides a percentage of the total profits. The school of tile setting was conducted in the barn under the instruction of J. G. Drummond and an assistant instruc- tor. Several tilers' associations recog- nized the value of this school, and authorized the assignment of a number of scholarships. The school of printing was located in the Graphic Arts building. It was first directed by I . Chandler, and later by F. O. Climer, who were assisted by five teachers. The school possessed equip- ment valued at sixty thousand dollars. The school of carpentry was located on the second fioor of the shops and taught under the direction of A. Robin- son. The machinery course was also taught on the second floor of the shops. The students in this course, like those in the foundry school, were given the oppor- tunity of earning extra money from com- mercial work. The course in applied science was a -- l course in civil, mechanical, and electric'a engineering. The students were taught mathematics, drawing, physics, chemis- try, applied mechanics, and surveying. The school of masonry was located on the lower floor of the shops. The National Brick-makers Association was interested in this school, and offered a large number of scholarships. Because of financial failure the school was gradually discontinued from 1909 to 1912. The school of applied science was removed to VVinona Lake, and the school of pharmacy, located in buildings in the business district of Indianapolis, and school oflithography, transferred to Cin- cinnati. The school of printing, under the direction of lXfIr. Tol iXIcGrew, has been in continuous successful operation and is, perhaps, the largest Trade School of Printing in the United States. The school of machinery is also still main- tained in the shops, as our vocational courses in lXfIachine Shop Practice. Thus The VVinona Technical Institute established the types of schools for prac- tical education now carried on in the vocational courses in Technical High School. l- M. D.

6 THE ARSENALCANNON THE FIRST DAY AT TECH Un the first day of Tech's existence, Vliednesday afternoon, September 11th, 1912, though the pupils were not to arrive until 1:30, the eager students-to- be came earlier than that hour, all curious to see the new high school. They entered the building by the old stairs in the tower. h'Ir. Spear stood at the foot of th estairs to direct the pupils so they would not enter the print shop. At the top of the stairs stood lXf1iss NIcCullough, kindly coaxing them up. At the door stood Kliss Binninger and lXfIr. Hanna. The would-be students were not from under the watchful eyes of these two before Xfr. Anderson showed them the rooms. Also there was Miss Shover, everywhere at once, as usual. Bliss Jasper was unable to be there at Tech's first day. Nfr. Yenne was working at the program for these few pupils. The pupils, after being deposited with care in rooms B and C, were given Nativety Blanks. lVIr. Stuart soon called a meeting of everyone in room 20, then called in those of room A. How dis- appointed the students were when they entered this room! They had no visions of a Hourishing high school. The walls and fioors were dirty, only a few of the seats were fastened down, no telephone was in the little booth in the back of the room, many boards lay around, and everything was in disorder. But this was not to remain long, as carpenters were busy everwhere, As soon as pos- sible, lVIr. Stuart addressed these Hshy studentsf, After a short talk, he intro- duced the teachers, during which time each freshie wondered who taught what, and Whether or not he would have this teacher or that. After this talk, session rooms were assignedg those without Eng- lish credits remained in A, while the others were divided between the other two rooms, those whose names began with letters from Aehfl in B, and the rest in C. To complete this day, so important in Tech's history, it was an- nounced With great solemnity, dignity, and sincere regret by lWr. Stuart, that there would be no school until the fol- lowing Nlonday, as repairs were so badly needed. So the joyous students were dismissed for this short vacation. INIARY E. MCPHEETERS. LATIN CLUB The first Latin club organized with Edward Owen, praepesg Francis Wilson, propraepesg Sam Newman, quaestor, Carl Harris, proquaestorg Fay Douglas, scriba, Lois E. Stone, pro-scriba. Wie held our first meeting hflarch 17, 1913 in room 2-1. At that time lXf1iss Abel had an eighth hour Virgil class at Nfanual and that afternoon the St. Pat- rickis Day parade held up the street cars and incidentally IX'Iiss Abel. At the second meeting we decided upon purple and gold for colors and Esse quam videri CTO be rather than to seeml as our motto. The several meetings held that year were spent learning Gaud- eamus Igiture, 'fhifilites Christiane, and the Tech yell. The life of the club terminated in a picnic where we had purple and gold tablecloths and even the eggs colored purple and yellow. I wonder whether the faculty remembers the Aaron VVard roses presented them, or how their ages were determined by grass blades tied together. gl. S1-IEA. THE NATURE STUDY CLUB ' In the spring of 1913 the students organized a club to study the birds, fiowers, and trees on our campus, and to take hikes in the country. hfiss Hag- ley, lyfiss lXfIcLaughlin, and Miss h'IcCul- lough deserted faculty duties to tak: active part. From long articles writte-i by Clea Rippey and Robert Shewalter, we learned of the many good times stored in the memories of the members. On some occassions, the students met under the tower archway before the first period and tramped the campus jungles in search of new specimens. On one of the hikes they visited Fort Benjamin Harrison. On this trip Lehman Holliday insisted upon riding alone on the car steps, and worry- ing Miss Hagley. VVhen time came to return Gladys Hartman and Julia Shea started across country to a farm house to make inquiries. The party got lost only to be frightened by the horses and
