TECH'S AY will be our musicians of tomorrow! F or 'one hour a day they study the history of music, theory and harmony, arranging for quartettes, ensembles, the modern dance band, and the concert band. Students are also presented the opportunity to hear and appre- ciate all moods and types of instrumental music through observation and recorded music. For the other two hours they study major and minor in- struments, including instrument repair. The Technicians of Rhythm provide music for school dances, for assemblies and for many other activities. They tour the elementary schools to help stimulate an interest in music. This year they favored the scho l 0 and the public with an eve- ning jazz Concert. Tech is the only local high school that gives students an opportunity to major in three hours of music a day.

TENE5 Welding , 0 THE HUGE DEMANDS for shop training at Tech this year has necessitated adding a swing shiftv to accommodate the students. The swing shiftv goes into action at 3:15 o'clock in the afternoon and continues until 10:00 o'clock at night. While most Technicians are participating ill Tech's evening activities and enjoying them- selves, those of the swing shift are teaching and being taught the skills of their chosen trade. The swing shiftv enables many to acquire training which might otherwise be denied them. Many of the students are veterans who have come to appreciate the value of a good education. FRANK M.
