1'- '-'1'-X 'gy 0 Our Technical High School X! i riimmmmrimnll Q , I llll- I A 9 J Another memorable year at Cass Tech High has come to an end, and soon In T many of us at Cass will leave, and start out to build our future. The road will be long and rough, but our 3 years at Cass will give us ho-pe and encourage- ment along the way. Cass means many things to its students. Concerts, hard work, Mary Pish, sports activities and clubs are all part of Cass Tech. To a senior, Cass is many fond memories, to a freshman, a new opportunity. From its creation in T907 to today, Cass has played an important part in the developement of its students and their country. We have a school we can well be proud of.

We at Cass should feel honored to claim a concert band which is one of the very finest in the country, an art department which continually wins awards in every type of contest, and many other students who bring pride to our school by earning scholarship awards. Our football, baseball basketball and swimming teams have proven themselves also, perhaps not always ending the season on top, but by displaying, throughout the seasons, the type of sportsmanship which distinguishes the champion from the ordinary player. The Detroit of today is an ever expanding, ever modernizing city. Cass Technical High School is a very essential part of Detroit. The new Civic Center, the slum clearance proiects. and the great Expressways all signify a Dynamic Detroit. Our school system, too, has shown great progress. Functional and beaut- iful new elementary schools and high schools have been built. However, technical training in our city is represented by facilities that were built 37 years ago and which have changed very little since. Looking back over this period of thirty years, it is seen that Cass' scholastic influence on the industrial capability of the city has been tremendous. Now, as ever, the industrial corporations eagerly employ Cass graduates. But industrial expansion is now even greater 'than the expansion of the city in general and Cass' facilities are still mainly as they were 30 years ago. The day of the unskilled laborer is over. ln the near future, every man and woman will need some essential technical knowledge in order to survive. While the responsibility for providing adequately skilled citizens is that of all the schools of the coun- try, Cass must carry an added burden. Being the only technical school in Detroit, the industrial capitol of the world, it is the iob of this school to train its students to meet the city's demands. To do this requires an array of curriculums comparable to leading universities. During this past year, scientific achievements by many countries of the world have further exemplified the need for a technical high school in our modern age. Last September the Arts and Sciences curriculum was added to our list of Scientific courses. The Arts and Sciences curriculum offers accelerated and ad- vanced classes to the top 2 to 4 percent of the students in the city. Cass is, however, much more than science and mathematics. The importance of culture is frequently emphasized through art exhibits, symphony concerts, and dramatic productions. Cass years should be, and usually are, among the happiest years of our lives. We cherish the friend- ships formed and the memories of happy occasions and important events. Assemblies, Student Council dances, the R.O.T.C., fashion shows and Cass Open House will represent Cass, years after we have all graduated. We should be proud of the tremendous spirit which prevails at Cass, a driving spirit, an overwhelming spirit, a friendly spirit. Drawing students from every part of Detroit and its suburbs, our school is composed of almost every color, religion and nationality. All attend classes together, eat together and probably most important work together in harmony. This is something wonderful, and yet, it is as it should be. There is no room in America for discrimination and prediudice. We at Cass can be proud of the examples we are setting for others in overcoming these obstacles to democracy. Many of us are now graduating from Cass to move on in the world, many have done so already and many more are sure to do it in the future. But let us all always remember Cass Tech, our school born out of prophesy to build a better future. Harrison L. Engle Class of June, 1958 2 I I

LSWQN Heli!! Hmm fx During Mr. Joseph G. Wolber's years at Cass Technical High School, he has constantly striven for improvement in education. Only this last year, under his leadership, the Arts and Sciences curriculum was brought to Cass Tech for the gifted children in Detroit who are capable of advanced courses. This shows his dedication to the young minds of today. This scholarly man has made contributions to Cass Tech and the field of education that can never be overestimated. His leadership and guid- ance has proved itself invaluable to the many graduates through the years who are now in their chosen vocations. Therefore, we, of the Senior Class of January and June 1958, the student body and faculty members proudly dedicate the l958 edition of the Triangle to Mr. Joseph G. Wolber, our beloved principal.
