Her earnestness of purpose, her lack of compromise with duty and honesty, and her tireless work haue set before us an example worthy of following, TECH HIGH SEHUUL NIR. FOREST T. SELBY ....,,...

We've been here so long and had so many wonderful times that it seemed such happiness could never end, but the end is coming nearer and nearer. Before we realize it, our school life will be over in reality, but there are many things we can relive in memory. For instance, can you forget Ceven if you tryj the way Miss Wheeler always said, And seventeen other different things, or the enjoyment we got out of the twelfth grade English taught us by Mrs. Kistler? Of course, we will return every fall for the football season, but those teams will never be able to compete with our teams. We will always come to see the annual Junior Play, but can any other play come up to the very high standard set by our play, The Red-Headed Stepchild ? We are finishing school in what is probably the most critical period in American history. We realize this fact, but we believe that no other high' school could have fitted us better for a place in this future of America. By our class- room discussions of the daily happenings we have learned to appreciate and use our liberty. We are determined to do our part to defend these'civil liberties. As we look around us now at the school we are leaving and compare it with the school it was when we entered, we find that many changes have taken place. We now have a band and music classes which were started by Miss Louise Brockwell, now Mrs. Joselyn, in '36, Physical education. classes now under the direction of Miss Alice Suiter and Coach Dick Thompson were started in '36. We now have an Honor Society and a Student Council which were brought back to life by Miss Clegg in '39 and '40, respectively. French classes were begun by Mrs. Davidson in '39, And last but not least, the publi- cation of the TECHNIQUE was revived in '39. The present publication is in the hands of Charles Bradshaw, Editor-in-Chief, Peggy Simpson, Associate Editor, and Peggy Pope, Business Manager. This last year at school has been a very busy one for us. We have been rushing hither and yon getting ads for the annual, deciding on the ring we wanted, electing superlatives, and, of course, studying hard so that we would pass, when June came. In 1941 we had delegates representing Tech at the State Student Council Congress. Some of the outstanding members of our class are Marcus Yandle, President of the Senior Class and the Honor Society: Peggy Simpson, Associate Editor of the TECHNIQUE and Class Poet: Charles Bradshaw, Editor of the TECH- NIQUE and Class Lawyer: and Clyde Kiser, the only Post-graduate. ' Of course, life was not all study and hard work--we had our fun. We had hundreds of outings--swimming parties, theater parties, Weiner roasts, and just plain parties. PEGGY POPE, Class Historian.

ROBIQRTS ROY LEE BARBEE LEWIS CRUMP TECH HIGH SEHUUL Page Seventeen CLASS PRUPHEEY As I went about my business in my small music store, I often wondered what my old classmates were doing. It had been five years since the Class of '42 was graduated from dear old Tech High. One day I decided to make it my business to find out about this so I contacted friends in different cities to act as agents for me. From the information supplied by these agents and the newspaper clippings that I managed to secure, I should like to submit the following information to the world at large to show that the graduates of Tech are quite a bit above the average: In Hollywood H. P. Roberts is directing a new picture, You Can't Leave It Behind, starring Sadie Carnes, that glamorous glamor girl who is certain to win the Academy Award this year. It was won last year by Elizabeth Purse: of Twenty-Fifth Century Wolf, owned by Johnny Walsh. FLASH FROM WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator George Reynolds believes that Congress will pass any day now his bill stating that it should be unlawful for the women to boss the men. He is looking forward to the day when he will once again be his own boss. Peggy Pope is also in Washington. She is secretary to one Marcus Eason Yandle. editor-in-chief of the Washington Host, best known of the Washington newspapers. Charles Wright has racing blood in his veins. Yesterday he was at the Santa Juanita race track, and witnessed a very disappointing race. He says that if his horses don't start doing better, he will have to quit racing for good. From the West Coast comes this story: Jack Holleman, master golfer, who is spending his vacation in Hollywood, wants the directors to stop worrying him. He simply doesn't want to be an actor. Detroit--James Ferguson has been promoted to the position of head engineer for the General Engines Company. He is noted for his keen memory in dealing with statistics. Peggy Simpson has become quite famous because of the hit tunes she has been writing. It is said that her publishers believe that one day one of her songs will reach the top, or pretty near the top, anyway. It has just been announced at Atlantic City that shapely Miss Betty Jean Ridenhour has received the title of Miss America. According to reports the judges were unanimous in their decision. Wall Street, New York-Stocks are the highest in the history of Wall Street. The reason for such prosperity, according to most of the big shots, is that Howard Worrell is directing the buying and selling of stocks in this country. Charlotte, N. C.-Joe Brackett, owner of a chain of Lowland Park Mills, recently celebrated his wedding anniversary. He is happily married and he says that he will stay that way. Broadway--Ann Lewis Helms, voted the zing girl of the year, will be the star attraction for the Seigfried Jollies. Ann says that she will go to the movies after her contract with Seigfried is up. San Francisco-Annie Louise Law's elegantly penned letters daily thrill thousands of people who read her column, Advice to Those Disappointed in Love, which appears in every large newspaper in the country. An agent sends this report from Charlotte: Hazel Wells seemed to like life in a small town so she married and made her home in Charlotte. She has two lovely children, and says that she wouldn't trade places with anyone. Monroe fheadquarters for the Emptier Brush Companyj-It is reported that Ray Selvey turned down a promotion to the office of general manager of the Emptier Brush Company. He says that it is more fun to stick your foot in a door than to sit behind a desk. Oakland, California-Joe Christenbury has just been promoted to the position of foreman in the world's largest aircraft manufacturing corporation. He attributes his success to the mechanical knowledge he received at Tech. Frances Smith, after a long engagement to a former Tech graduate, finally consented to become as one with him. My agent in Charlotte reports that they are still very happy, even after several months of eating canned foods. Los Angeles--Jean Sherrill is doing a ballet number four nights a week at Los Angeles' leading theater, and the rest of the nights she iinds happiness jitterbugging with an old friend at some hot spot. Whing Whang, China--Mirah Robertson and Frances Webb are doing a very humane service for the Chinese. They are enrolled in the Red Cross and are becoming quite skilled in saving lives. Camp Dix-The boys are enjoying life these days. The general in charge just recently married a cute little thing named Le Verne Jones. The general has been in a good mood, and the men hope that things continue to run smoothly between the general and Le Verne. Lottie Mae Griffith, according to my communique in Charlotte, is now head floor lady for Jelk's Department Store, prominent throughout the South.

Vassar College-Believe it or not, but Robert CRomeoj Gray has just been appointed president of Vassar College. He is happy over the whole thing. Immediately after his appoint- ment Gray selected one of his old classmates, Lawson Threatt, to be in charge of the physical education. Lawson is confident that he will produce winning teams. Charlotte-Louise McCall is still a hard working girl. She could get married. but she doesn't know whether she wants to live in Charlotte or Mount Holly. Jacksonville-It was officially announced here today that Lura Simpson is married. She married a soldier from Florida whom she met while the maneuvers were being held in the Carolinas. New York-Thomas Wilson and his band arrived here after a triumphant tour of the country. Wilson has become famous as a trombone player and his band is considered one of the best in America. It was reported from Reno today that Charles Bradshaw has just untied another couple. Charles was such a good lawyer that he was made judge soon after he began his legal career. Because he believes that no one should be unhappy, he sets unhappy men and women free from bad marriages. i Chicago-The manager of the Chicago Bears announced that Lewis Moser would be with the Bears next year. Moser, twice all-American, played with the Charlotte Clippers this year and caused them to win the pennant.

These clubs have a tremendous amount of infiuence in the affairs of the American home. Fort Boast-Alice Horne is very popular here. She just finished her third year as hostess. One day someone asked her why she did not get married. She replied: I am now enjoying the company of many good-looking soldiers. Why should I give them all up for one?

Eva, ELA55 SUNG TUNE: You and I. Here's to old Tech High as we say Good-bye. To friends and classmates true. For we've reached the top of our school, Learned every rule, too. But the blue and gold our respect will hold As days and years roll by. And we leave a part of each loyal heart to OLD TECH HIGH. -PEGGY SIMPSON. FAHEWELL TU TEEH Farewell to you, Tech Students, We'll miss you when we go, Our joy will be made dimmer By parting with Tech, we know. But each must go, and go alone To meet the wide wor1d's needs, To meet the business people Who planted for us the seeds. Our childhood days are over, We stand mature now. We'1l go out unflinching, Holding back the tears, somehow. The Juniors now will take our place. They'1l follow through this year, You know we hate to give to them The things we've held so dear. But when our hearts have settled down And when we think it o'er U It isn't as if you had, in our face Just slammed the closing door. No, we are leaving with heads upheld. We're an honor to Tech, it seems, And the Juniors and the Sophomores See us fulfill their dreams. So up with our heads and shoulders back It isn't a whole life wreck, It's just shutting one door and opening another. An honor to dear old Tech. And though we hate to leave you, We'1l proudly say Good-bye, For we know that we'll be loyal To our own dear old Tech High. -PEGGY SIMPSON.

The cost of light produced by a lamp depends upon three factors, namely, cost of current to operate the lamp, efficiency or amount of light produced per watt, and the cost of the lamp. Since 1907 the initial light output of the 60-watt Mazda Lamp, for instance, has been increased over 75 per cent. At the same time, in the face of a general increase in the cost of living, the price of the lamp has been reduced from 51.75 to fifteen cents. A penny's worth of light may conserve priceless eyesight. Did you know that it costs as little as one cent to operate the 300-watt filament in an I. E. S. floor lamp for one hour and 40 minutes?
