THE AR SENAL CANN ON H istory of the June 1928 Class With shouts of enthusiasm and wondering ex- citement, the good ship, High School Career, again set forth upon the waters of Education in September, 1924. Aboard the ship were organized groups ot passengers who bore various names such as Shortridge, Technical, and Manual, and who soon discovered that they were all bound for the same destinationethe port of Graduation Among this vast crowd of voyagers were the members of Techs June '28 class land fortunately many of their instructors! who were destined to place their honor and fame in the annals of their chosen group. At the head of the A Tech group was Milo H. Stuart, whose deep understanding and warm sympathy soon gained the confidence of all. Assistants under him were splendid in every re- spectg in fact, they were real teachers who proved to be iine guides and sources of inspiration, They showed the passengers that I it would be to their advantage to learn certain thingsg this experi- i ence would give them the training 1 usually secu1'ed during a four-year 1 high school course and the infor- 1 mation gained in both the required and elective subjects. It was not so strange, then, that these inex- perienced voyagers soon became like one large family, adapting themselves to their new environ- ment and gaining the most from their trip by co- operating with these leaders and other passengers already on deck. Little by little they learned the ways of the sea and the rules of the steamerg furthermore, they realized that to gain an end, they must resolutely hght sea-sickness. The leaders of the group planned opportunities to relieve the monotony of the voyage. They or- ganized various clubs and other extra-curricular activities. Some of the voyagers tried their ability in the musical groups, others in the departmental clubs, while a few were fortunate enough to gain entrance into athletics. Among the outstanding forms of planned rec- reation were the football and basketball games. Fellow voyagers of the Tech group, though play- ing a hard game of athletics, were defeated by the Shortridge team in the football contest for the championship title, and by both Manual and Shortridge teams in the basketball contest. How- ever, in many other respects the Tech group proved that Techs way was a winning way. The Tech Band, the Boys' Glee Club, and the Choral Society won first place in the Music Con- testg while the Girls' Glee Club and the Orchestra won second. By the end of the first year of their voyage, most of the passengers were thoroughly con- vinced that the trip was interesting as well as instructive. Many, however, tiring of the never- ending struggle for existence amid books and lessons, stopped off at various ports and planned to return home, letting slip the one golden oppor- tunity that would never be offered . again. The others sailed on and on, enjoying both the work and the play that fell to their lot. Time passed and the ship now crossed the Tropic of Sophomore. ' The voyagers looked somewhat sophisticated. Study and concen- tration had become almost a habit. Temptations to leave the ship were conquered. Football and basketball again received their fair share of interest. The cup in football was won by Tech by defeating the Shortridge group with a score of 14 to 0, and the Manualites with a ' score of 15 to 7. After defeating two opponents for honors in basketball, Tech was defeated by Manual, 33 to 30, but came back strong and won the track meet. The Band, the Orchestra, and the Boys' Glee Club won first prizes in the Music Contestg the Girls' Glee Club won second. The R. O. T. C. was placed as the honored unit in the annual inspec- tion. Mary Louise Lewis won the grand sweep- stakes prize in an Egg and Food show. held by the Agriculture classes. Dorotha Magee won a D. A. R. essay contest with an essay called What It Means to Be a Good Citizen. Although their names were seldom mentioned as yet. these voyagers of two years began to be known. They decided to make a place for them- selves in this Technical group and to serve it in the best possible way. By the time the Tropic of Juniors was crossed, the ship's passengers were unusually in- dustrious. How pleasant it was to have passed the halfway mark and see, not so far ahead, the golden port. of their dreams! As heretofore, athletics continued to be one of the central attractions for the travelers. Tech lost
