BENSON Principal ( 5 ) THE THEME THE CONSTITUTION One hundred and fifty years ago our forefathers tv ere striving to make a free country. The hardships and obstacles were great, but their determination was greater, and that determination gave them victory. In 1776, our Constitution teas signed and freedom became a reality. Today, we give little thought to that cause and do little to remember those who made our freedom pos- sible. Hotvever, we rejoice in the fidelity and love that Americans have had for Constitutional liberty, and we are striving to have future generations regard it as something sacred and reverent. We, as a class of graduating seniors, are striving to succeed in our ambitions just as our forefathers did before us. Our job is somewhat different from theirs. Our devotion to our task is strong. The spirit and fidel- ity of our group is remarkable and outstanding. Our determination, like that of our forefathers, is our great- est asset. It is necessary in order to attain the goal tve have set and to live up to the standards set for us by previous generations. The amendment to the Constitution that provided free education for us has also provided a substantial background that will help us to be victorious and suc- cessful through the various vicissitudes of life. We are proud of this background that allotvs us to folloiv dili- gently in the great paths that those before us have so nobly provided. DEDICATION We, the compiler s of this book, are dedicating it to one of the most important events that has ever happened in this country, the making of the Con- stitution of the United States of America. ■VW ' .

The Show-Off” was a Broadway Comedy hit of a few seasons past. The simpli- city of its humor made it a hit with the audience. The Show-Off,” Aubrey Piper, played by James Hudson was a boasting, bragging sort of fellow, who wore patent leather shoes, a derby hat, a carnation in his lapel, and carried a cane over his arm. He wished to marry Amy Fisher, played by Pauline Gasaway, who thought he was just wonderful.” Mrs. Fisher, Amy’s mother, portrayed by Jean Hurst, was a sar- castic, pessimistic sort of person who was opposed to this marriage. Mr. Fisher, played by Lawrence Collett, didn’t have a chance to say much on the subject although he did dislike Aubrey. Clara, the oldest daughter, was played by Eileen Boland, who was married to Frank Hyland, who always loaned money to Aubrey to get him out of scrapes. Theodore Grummer played Joe Fisher, whose inventions finally worked out to end the families financial worries. Richard Wagner played Mr. Gill, a working companion of Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Rogers, the insurance man, was played by Henry Sankowski, who thought Aubrey would be a good prospect. Aubrey’s boastful character made him disliked, and finally liked by the characters of the play as well as the audience. ( 20 ) HISTORY The Tech Clipper of 193 8, that in 1934 flew quietly into the air of knowledge, is now nearing the end of its long voyage. When the beautiful airship began its voyage, its wings were shiny with new paint, the body was like new, and the inside was newly decorated. The crew was most inexperienced, but they were sturdy and willing workers. The Freshmen were in command when she started this long trip four years ago. Some of the passengers who started with us then dropped off, while others came aboard at our various land- ing places. Many were forced to take a parachute to the ground because of air-sickness and other difficulties. It was hard to let them leave, but success was the goal and all did what they could to reach this destination. One hundred twenty three were aboard when the ship left the Senior airport last September for the last lap of the journey, and as it flew to the last mooring, the crew and passengers were determined to carry on to the end. The beauty of loyalty, companionship, cooperation, stewardship, and etc., was seen along the land- scape and the horizon as this great ship cruised along its way. The ship encountered many storms, and it was sometimes hard to master the trouble, but the pilots of the Clipper managed to keep it up in the air and gained a great deal of knowledge in doing so. When the ship landed, its wings were no longer shiny, the paint was soiled, and the inside was worn which shows that the crew used every opportunity afforded them. As the ship landed, the sky was clear and the sunbeams were giving promises of a glorious day. The ship made a triumphant three-point landing and sent the students into the beckoning world to gain the experience with which to carry on their life’s work.

These representatives had been chosen by the students of their own advisory. The purpose of this organization is to boost outside activities in the school and encourage a better ' “school spirit.” The members feel their first semester existence has been highly successful. So far, they have chosen school cheer leaders, held pep sessions, and sponsored cheer- ing sections at the games. One of the best ways to increase school spirit and pep is to keep people informed concerning all activities. In view of this, the Athletic Council members voted to edit a newspaper — so the first edition of the Tech Speculator” was published March 1 1, 193 8. Carole Howard and John Krizman were elected Editors-in-Chief and all of the council members became reporters. The student body has cooperated with the Athletic Council in all of their efforts and they are looking forward to even better things next year. Faculty advisors are Miss Richmond and Miss Sindcn.

The students safety council consisting of two student representatives from each shop including the cooking and athletics depart- ments is the chief agency through which the shop safety is handled. Through the effort of the group of students, accident records are made; first aid administered, causes of accidents analyzed and remedial measures suggested. The yearly record is satisfactory in that no serious accident has occured in our shops. During the past year safety has also been introduced as a credit subject as prescribed by the state board of Education. Safety in the home, on the streets and in the shop are included in the course. The Auto driving course is offered as a regular course to all students before graduation. Students are taught driving laws, safe driving practices and safety measures as practiced by the careful motorists. The Technical school boy patrol consisting of sixteen boys has cooperated with the Hammond Police department throughout the year. BAND During the school year 193 7-’3 8, the Tech band under the direction E. P. Sherman and A. F. Robinson, made many public appearances.
