The TECHTONIAN In debate and declamation Loiocano, Attea and Morabito Gathered to themselves some laurels Laurels to the Sophomores credit. Once again for light we girded, For the ever dangerous Regents Were again about to threaten. Yet, again we proved successful As in all our other conflicts. junior Year With the passing of mild summer, With the coming of the autumn, Came the Wise and learned Juniors, Cultured students, upper classmen. Said the wise and learned tribesmen, 'Tis the time to choose a leaderf' In the meeting place we gathered, Gathered to elect a chieftain. Hard and long the factions wrangled 'Til at last it was decided, 'Til Walt Hager merged the victor. We have flourished, we have prospered As we near the stage of Seniors Active Juniors, we presented, 4'Third Ingredient as our offering. All who came to see, enjoyed it. Came the class day of the seniors, When We pledged to cherish always, And respect the school's traditions, As we reached the rank of Senior, Moved into the place left vacant. Came the exit of the seniors, Came the foe, the threatening Regents Only to again be vanquished, Our reward,-a long vacation. l20l 7

The TECHTONIAN Now 'twas time to choose a leader. Forthwith sprang the few ambitious, After combat raged with gusto, Waged with vim and waged with vigor, lX'Ierged the able hlorabito. Then the thoughts of all the Freshmen Turned to Freshman Day with dreading VVhen that day so feared came on us, Nought but joyful voices met us, As Freshmen voices sweet, melodious Filled the air with music ringing. Q Later as the year was ending - Came great suffering and weeping, And the heat and perspiration, And the reams of written paper, Used to appease the cruel Regents. Though some faltered by the wayside, lX'lost came through with flying colors, So we entered on vacation, Leaving childish ways behind us. Sophomore Year Fall found most of us returning, Fresh, and tanned by summer sunshine, Back to Technic's stately portals, Not as callow little Freshmen, But as studious, quiet Sophomores. Then in tennis and in swimming, Clever Barczak won more laurels, For the honor of fair Technic. Once again the great Nlorabito Was acclaimed our choice for leader, And with him as guiding spirit, ln the hlerry Greenwoodw was presented E191

The TECHTONIAN Senior Year VVhen green leaves were tinged by autumn When the only word was football, Came once more to Technics hallways, Seniors proud, exuberant Seniors. Then upon the turf so grassy Henry Herman proved his mettle, Though the team was not victorious, Proud we were to claim some members. Soon we had to seek a leader, From the numbers of the classmen, From the great class of the Seniors, Search for one to lead us onward, One to guide our last year's efforts, So we met and so we voted. 'Twas a close, hard-fought election, Robert Stumpf became our mentor. Wisely, fairly has he led us, Led us to the goal he set us, To achieve our great endeavor. First We had our skating party, As a means of raising money, As a means of meeting payments, What a turn out, what a frolicl 'Twas a record most successful. Then we fought to have a year book, Have a record of our history, And in this we are achieving, Achieving much, thanks to our leader. Soon the day will be upon us, When from Technic We'll be leaving, And forever parting from her, 'With the thoughts of much achieved. Comes with June our graduation, And the end of our endeavor, But we'll always, always carry Pleasant thoughts and happy memories Of our Alma Mater, Technic High School HENRY PRAETZEL E213
