' A V i., ' School life at Arsenal Technical is not, of course, always in tune with the quote Keep your nose to the grindstonef' Although students are sincerely involved in their studies there are endless additional means by which they display their loyalty, esteem, pride and dedication. These little extra activities of 'Technical pupils offer a pleasing break in the rigorous study schedule of the day. The popular lunch period is en- joyed by Techites in numerous ways. Most refuel on calories in our two huge accommodating lunchroomsp Daily Schedules some catch up on helpful last minute studying or cram in the library for a next period testg while a few just stroll leisurely about the campus enjoying the beauty of nature when weather permits. Some make a quick trip to Tech's convenient bookstore to replenish a de- pleted theme tablet cr spiral notebookg others buys pen- cils, books, Titan sweat shirts, or just look. But all students being teenagers thrill at a chance to let off bottled up steam by shouting team loyalty to the top of the gym rafters at the student pep sessions held through the year. Such spirited rallies are nothing like real games where avid rooters gather to back their newly-named Titans whole-heartedly. Vocal exuber- ance mellows, though, whenever Techites don their elegant Cinderella or Prince Charming tinery for a sparkling evening at a school dance. These simplee sometimes prominent-events seem to enhance our student life at Tech and will be assured a lasting per- manence in many a heart. Numerous theatrical lovers were attracted by the industrious Thes- pians, who displayed their talents in a production of Angel Street. Resonant voices raise the roof with shouts of utmost zealotry and encouragement, supporting the Tech Titans in all athletic competition. 25

Tech started 50 years ago with just a small handtul of pupils and since has grown through the years into the largest high school in the state ot Indiana and the third largest in the country. We Tech students certainly appreciate our beautiful, spacious 76 acre campus to roam about betore the 8:07 bell in the morning, love to meander down our long, long corridors while making our way to class and enjoy our cross-campus treks made throughout the day. What would it be like to observe the green newness oi spring, the delicate flowers of summer, the splendid col-ors oi tall and the cottony snow ot winter from one building . . . all day? Most Techites feel it would be similar to stuffing 50 pounds oi opportunities into one tive pound sack! But, accompanying the loved college-like campus and its present population of 4,200 is the ever-iamiliar problem ot accommodation. The efficient Tech lunchroom statt, to nourish students with proper tood to adequately re- place the energy burned by a teenager daily, peels l5,000 potatoes, sells 7,250 sandwiches and l4,500 bot- tles ot milk and cuts 0,000 pies a week. Astounding, isn't it? lmagine how many miles ot spaghetti would be consumed yearly! Students need not only to replen- ish calories, but also to replace ever-exhausted school supplies. The Bookstore, constantly thronged with busy customers, sells approximately 3,000 pencils, l0,000 theme tablets and 2,500 liners and an average oi 5,000 Today's Population tickets to athletic events a semester. Recently, when our nickname Greenclads was changed oiticiallly by a student vote to Titans, the Bookstore ordered white sweatshirts bearing the new name. The sweatshirts sold like hotcakes again showing the extremely high inter- est Technical pupils maintain ior their school. lt is satis- tying to know each day our high school can serve a student population ot 4,200 so adequately and compe- tently in so many Various ways. 'fs Withstanding time and elements this sign stands erect and ready serving Technicals family as a familiar director and landmark 27
