V M HARVEY A. GUENTHER After forty years in the business of prepar- ing young people to earn a living Mr. Guenther is finally to take a well earned rest. In 1913 Mr. Guenther organized the first machine shop classes at the YMCA Tech. In- stitute. In 1915 he organized the first tool-mak- ing classes. In 1918 Mr. Guenther went to Troy N.Y. to teach Shop Mathematics and Trigo- nometry. In 1923 Buffalo was finally able to in- duce Mr. Guenther to return and We were fortunate here at Burgard that he came to us. Mr. Guenther began his career at old Elm in the auto electrical shop. Naturally when Bur- gard was opened he came to the new building as one of the auto mechanics teachers. His teaching career at Burgard shows a tremen- dous versatility in teaching ability. Mr. Guen- ther taught tube bending, metal fabrication and riveting as well as machine shop for the avia- tion department in addition to his auto mechan- ics experience. When World War II ended in Europe the US Army was desirous of establishing trade schools for the army of occupation which was to remain in Europe. Here again the unique talents of Mr. Guenther were recognized and he went to England as the Senior Machine Shop Instructor at the Wharton American Technical School at Wharton England. This was in July of 1945. In March of 1946 back in the United Stateslagain Mr. Guenther became Supervisor of Vocational Rehabilitation for the State of New York. Finally Mr. Guenther returned to Burgard, a fact for which we have all been grateful for he was missed by all of us, teachers and stu- dents alike. This year Mr. Guenther is leaving Burgard and the field of education and we will once more be saddened by the departure of one of the pioneers of Vocational Education, Through- out his entire career Mr. Guenther was a cham- pion of Vocational Education and its benefits to the youth of the world.
