Track Undefeated in three dual meets and the annual city track and field carnival, the Tech cinder squad, coached by Mr. Paul E. Myers, had successfully started its season as the CANNON went to press. Only five lettermen returned for further com- petition this spring, and the team was hard hit by the loss of veterans in the distance events, but steady work overcame this handicap and the tracksters opened their schedule by swamp- ing Warren Central, lU9112 to 9112. Kokomo next fell before the Green and White stride, 72 to 63, then Wiley of Terre Haute met defeat, 69 to 54. in the city meet the Green and White thinlies won their fourth consecutive title, turning back the four local rivals by piling up a total of 93 points. Shortridge, the runner-up, counted 61 points. ennii As the lune magazine went to press, the current crop of tennis players had gone matchless, because of inclement weather. Coach Robert L. Ball planned to use the fol- lowing men this season: Carl Bohn, Elmer Molique, Raymond Von Sprecklesen, and Iames Prater. 706 Three victories in its first four matches com- prised the record of Coach Bayne D. Freeman's golf team as the CANNON went to press. The Green and White linksmen defeated Batesville in their opening duel, 9112 to 2112, and again in a return match, 10 to 2, overcame Cathedral, 6112 to 5112: but fell before Shortridge, 7112 to 4112, for their lone defeat. Members of the team were Arthur Wettle, Wayne Montfort, Robert Laffey, Eugene Cox, and Charles Frank. arf: 'pfay pay The Girls' Play Day, an annual event, was a feature of the Supreme Day celebration May twenty-first.

Starting with only tour lettermen, Mr. Dagwell whipped a team of rookies into winning shape. At the time the Iune magazine had gone to press, the Green and White pastimers were boasting of a .600 average, having Won over the Indiana State School for the Deaf, 7 to U, Ben Davis, 19 to 2, and Richmond, 7 to 5, while drop- ping encounters to the strong Decatur Central aggregation, 4 to Z, and Manual of Louisville, 9 to 4. Tech's most notable win was from the Rich- mond Red Devils who had a two-year winning streak of thirty-nine straight games. ln 1936 the Red Devils had overcome the Green on three successive occasions. The remainder of the tough schedule was as follows: Shelbyville, Anderson, Deaf School, Ben Davis, Louisville Manual, and Anderson. Pitchers George Clark, Raymond Lee, and lim Weaver, and Catcher Norman Linne formed the batteries for Tech during the long campaign.

,foofbz Ztwatd On its twenty-fifth anniversary the Arsenal Technical Schools bequeaths a great heritage to the boys and girls who will come within its portals seeking knowledge. Of- fering the richness of experience which it has accumulated during its first quarter century of growth, this great institution is now able to de- velop the talents of its student body more com- pletely than the past has ever permitted. With this educational heritage, every student who attends Tech becomes heir to its historical past. In 1865, when Abraham Lincoln decreed that seventy-six acres, then located one and one-half miles east of the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, should be used as an arsenal, he began the romantic history of the Tech grounds. From 1865 until 1902 soldiers were housed in these buildings. In April, 1903, the government aban- doned the arsenal, and in 1912 the grounds were lffayqine .ftaff first occupied by the Arsenal Technical Schools. Grounds and buildings originally used to store armaments are now used to train the youth of the nation to strive for higher and finer goals and to aid them in living broader and fuller lives. The first eight faculty members, under the guidance of Milo H. Stuart, the first principal of Tech, laid the foundation for another heritage of Tech students-the Tech Spirit, that indefin- able spirit of co-operation and friendliness which every Techite recognizes as an invaluable part of his school days. As it influences his school life, so it will influence his adult life. Thus Tech offers to her future students, even as she has offered to boys and girls for the past twenty-five years, a broad high school educa- tion, an historical background of Worthy tradi- tions and service, and the Tech Spirit to aid them in living the best possible lives.
