Our Departments All departments worked hard to make The Year That Was. The co-operation of each of our sixteen departments proved necessary to Tech ' s year. The departments offered courses ranging from the traditional English and mathematics to the new and specialized auto-aviation and electrical trades. Many departments offered college preparatory classes, while others prepared students for future jobs. Some depart- ments sponsored contests which made classes much more interesting. Tech ' s many departments offered one of the largest curriculums in the country. Each student could find some area of study that interested him. Many of Tech ' s departments sponsored clubs. These clubs sparked after school interest and enthusiasm in studies. Special projects, field trips, lectures and other interesting events did much to make the clubs enjoyable as well as educational. Interest, experience, enjoyment, fellowship, and, of course, education were a few of the ideas that developed through these clubs.

Miss Irene Rhodes— DEPARTMENT HEAD LIBRARY STAFF— Mrs. Jeannette Fields, Mrs. Gertrude Russell, Mrs. Dorothy New- comer, Miss Mary Garst, Miss Marjorie Schoch. English: A Key To Future Understanding --- This was the year that Tech was at its greatest. Big- ger and hetter things happened in the many different departments. The English Department was one of the most outstanding. As in past years, Miss Irene Rhodes served as the Head of the English Department. She supervised the thirty-four teachers that worked in the department. Grammar, literature, and composition were the main areas stressed by this department. Classes in journal- ism, public speaking, and speech arts were offered to students who wished to further their knowledge in these fields. Advanced English courses in college com- position, literature and business English were also offered. The English Department offered special interests in creative writing. Opportunities were given for students to express themselves in contests. English classes also helped us to appreciate and understand more thor- oughly literary classics and poems. Tech was very proud of its English Department, as it kept up with the demands of our school. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT— Front Row: Miss Irene Rhodes, Dept.
