DEAN EVERETT WILLIAMS TED BOAZ Technical Institute Guided By Dean Everett Williams Del Mar Technical Institute is the most unusual form of vocational training of its type in South Texas. Tech provides a two year and a two and one half year program for training in air conditioning, chemical technology, drafting, electrical power, in- dustrial electronics, and industrial instrument tech- nology. A graduate of Tech will engage in work that requires basic knowledge and skill of the engineer, the skilled craftsman, and the technician. Dean Everett Williams headed the administration and teaching staff. The faculty consisted of nine full- time instructors and a number of part time instructors. Each instructor obtained a degree in engineering and had experience or vocational practice. The Technical Institutes library is packed with material devoted to aiding the Tech student with his major. Mrs. Shirley Agee is always anxious to help a stu- dent with the library's technical and medical reports, annuals, research papers, and periodicals. Miss Gloria Cantu, secretary to Mr. Boaz, gives assist- Difefiof of Technical ance to Technical Institute student Lynn Hahn. Vocation Education
