'sf' ranch- S rincqaa gre ericl' iegen agen Now I know! Now I know why I admire the teaching staff at Boys' Tech so much: every member lives a full life! The strain of a hard day's work is left at school, and a new day appears in a myriad of outside activities. These diversions not only rest the soul for teaching's strenuous duties but open up a world of experiences that make men grow. It is no wonder that we can find on our staff an authority on practically any subject, our world of interests is so profitably widespread. And who can profit better from an educator's extensive curiosity than a boy! Personally I can find no better recreation than an interval in the garden. The preparation, the sowing, the sprouting, the watchful care, the growth, the love, the faith, the hope-all lead to luxuriant maturity in the garden. During school hours my garden is Boys' Tech. Mr. and Mrs Frederick W. Ziegenhcgen enloy their garden, These verdant plants reflect fond core and a love of the soil. I4

ice rinciyoaf yameb jifzpafrl'cL The Artisan Staff is right. Pupil attitudes reflect teacher attitudes at Boys' Tech. The teachers I work with are parents, workers, home owners, gardeners, hobbyists. We therefore expect Tech graduates to be equally representative members of their community. Parents have the responsibility of building the foundation for future life in the home. Teachers accept an equal responsibility of building character, ambition, per- sonality, responsibilities, a sense of values, proper social relationships, culture. And men who can direct students in the use of their leisure time make excellent individual guides of youth. The garden occupies most of my spare time. With my family quite grown up, the flowers and vegetables compete with the grandchildren for my attention. How unlike physical growth is the development of the mind of a Tech boy! Mr, James L. Fitzpatrick and his daughter, Betty, clean gladiolus bulbs in preparation for winter storage, Betty is so interested in her dad's hobby that she wants to maior in farming and gar- dening subjects when she enrolls at the University of Wisconsin.
