Departments Recognize Top Seniors The outstanding senior student(s) in most of Tech ' s many departments (awards are not mandatory) are presented engraved plaques each Honor Day. The criteria for these awards vary a bit from department to department, but the general rule is that each award winning senior must have majored in the subject, must have received high grades, and must have the recommendation of teachers in the department. Some students enhance their chances of receiving the highest department award by demonstrating initiative, as by carrying out special projects or entering contests. Some of the awards listed below show a name in parenthesis. Where such a name occurs, it is the last name of a Tech teacher who distinguished himself or herself while serving on that department ' s faculty. Thus, tradition continues — as does the tradition of using the second name, Supreme Day, for our Honor Day. It was on May 22, 1916, that the Indiana Supreme Court ruled to let the former arsenal grounds continue to be used as a school — without end! AUTO TR. Auto Mech.

GAYLORD ALLEN Congratulations To Mr. Allen Too Thanks and congratulations to another kind of graduate — Mr. Gaylord Allen, who first substitute-taught here in 1940 and soon became well known and well liked among Tech students as a speech teacher and a drama sponsor. He guided the senior plays here from the mid-forties to the mid-fifties. He has been Tech ' s director of guidance since September of 1959. A Tech High graduate himself, he received his first speech training at Tech. Also interested in journalism, he worked on Cannon staff three semesters. Recently he was among the alumni who received Hanson Anderson awards for their achievements. That honor — like a happy retirement — are suitable rewards for such Tech faithful as Mr. Allen.
