Without the efficiency of those who handle the endless detail work that arises in the office day by day, Des Moines Tech could not operate so smoothly. Assisting the regular office staff—principal, advisors, registrar and secretary—are thirteen girls from the commercial department who work in the office during their study periods.

Academic Faculty Pictured on this page are instructors not associated specifically with any core area. Des Moines Tech, while being a vocational-technical school, also meets all of the requirements of a fully accredited high school. In addition to specialized training, a student must pass the prescribed work for his core area in mathematics and science as well as history and English. Vocational study and practice are supplemented by aca¬ demic courses to qualify every Tech student for graduation and college entrance if the student so elects. 2 3 Sc nior Officers 1 R. M.

COLORS: Fuchsia and chartreuse. Yesterday, we learned; today, we are mastering; tomorrow, we shall lead. The June class of 1945 leaves Des Moines Technical school to ex¬ plore a large world—to establish and preserve for themselves names which they will be proud to wear. There is no place for fear in their future. Each one has been technically trained in his or her vocation to fill an important position in these crucial times. The class is represented in the Armed Forces on every battlefront of this war. Members who have gone, and those now graduating, are destined to play a decisive role in the establishment of the lasting peace they covet for the whole world. At the first senior class meeting, the following class officers were elected: R. M. Travis, president; Elton Mann, vice president; Betty Taylor, secretary; Darlene Ramus, treasurer; Winifred Carlson, histo¬ rian; Gloria Richards and Bonnie Bernholtz, members of the executive committee. The senior prom was held April 14 in the school auditorium, dec¬ orated to represent a garden. Senior A‘s invited Senior B’s and each person was privileged to bring one guest. Punch was served and the evening was spent dancing to the music of “Tex Walker and his band. Highlighting the picnic at Pioneer Park on May 18 were a baseball game and a hike through the woods. Several members of the class and the principal spoke to the group at the senior banguet held June 1 at Younkers ' Tea Room. Decorations were in the class colors of fuchsia and chartreuse. The Rev. Wm. A. Knight delivered the sermon to graduates at the baccalaureate service Sunday, June 3, and Mr. Arthur Brayton brought the commencement message June 7. And thus another distinguished group of seniors had the privilege of adding their names as graduates of Des Moines Technical High. Classmate Autographs WARRIOR YEARBOOK JANUARY SUPPLEMENT 1945 DES MOINES TECHNICAL SCHOOL DES MOINES - IOWA For Des MoinesjTech We Will What thoughts do you have when you hear these familiar words? To the Seniors they mean many things, not specific, but litle things; we remember the feeling of pride one feels as he enters the doors of Des Moines Tech, the way everyone works together to put over something for our school, the spirit of good sportsmanship you find wherever our students gather, the helpful faculty, and our many friends. Des Moines Tech has a promising future in the field of technical education. We are proud to be among the first graduating classes of this new school. To those who follow us in the halls of this school we leave these thoughts. May it become a tradition of Des Moines Tech to preserve those familiar words For Des Moines Tech We Will!

MANN— Guiding Light Senior History Class of January 1945 COLORS: Red and White FLOWER: Carnation MOTTO: The Power to Succeed Is Your Will With our last semester of school drawing to a close we seniors are looking back to what we have done and into the future to what we are going to do. Since there are only thirty members of the January 45 Senior Class, our home room officers also served as senior officers and they did a wonderful job. On the 11th of September we nominated and elected our officers, Gerald Young, Jr., President; Alice Burkhart, Secretary; and Rosella Warner, Treasurer. As the plans for our activities were set up, com¬ mittees were also set up. We had a picnic at Union Park, October 27th. Refreshments of fried chicken, french fries, and cokes were served. After our planned games at the park we all adjourned to the skating rink and finished our evening off with a bang. Mr. and Mrs. Byron Mann and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Prall seemed to enjoy the evening also. When the Football Season Tickets came out for sale for our first season, the senior A ' s worked hard and went over the top selling tickets to every member of their home room and to all their friends. Collection of the movie fund came up next. We did our best and came out on the top with 100% first. In the Queen ' s contest we put Phyllis Fleming up as our candidate. We didn ' t do as well but with thirty students we brought in one hun¬ dred dollars for the athletic fund. We took up collections and sold tickets to everyone in our home room. We didn ' t come out on top but we did our best again. The Senior Banquet was January 19th at Younkers. With the circus as our theme we had a very gay time. Baccalaureate was held in the Des Moines Technical auditorium January 21st. Our speaker was Rev. Harry Shiffler of Highland Park Presbyterian Church. Besides checking out the 23rd of January we will have our Class Day, which will include a story of school life. Commencement arrives at last the 25th of January. It is the day we have been looking forward to with joys and sorrows. This evening will split up the 19 girls and 13 boys of our class. Three of our boys are serving the armed forces already, one each with the Marines, Navy, and Army. The boys with the Marines and Navy are in the South Pacific. Since we have been seniors the name of our school has been changed from West High to Des Moines Technical School. Whatever the name—our memories will stay with us forever. Members of the Senior class wish to express their appreciation to everyone who has helped them acquire the Technical training, plus all the good times they have enjoyed at Des Moines Tech.

Basketball The Warriors were represented in the city cage race by a weak but loyal team. Coach Johnson had only enough material to make two squads. Basketball always attracts the interest of sports fans and this year was no exception. A fairly good cheering section turned out to wit¬ ness Tech ' s three victories and fourteen losses. The year ' s schedule follows: East High.

Baseball closed the sports ' calendar leaving a memory of fair play and good sportsmanship among the members of Des Moines Tech and the opposing schools this year. Tech s 44-45 team made a good showing against the more ex¬ perienced players of other schools. Deserving special mention are Don Burham, pitcher, and Bob Thomp¬ son, catcher. Outstanding batting performances were turned in by Court Hooten, Ray Fenton and Thompson, while Leo Goulden did a splendid job fielding. SCHEDULE Hartford Woodside North ...

All of the men were tenth and eleventh graders with best performances being turned in by Tom Moore in the mile run and Max Bobenhouse in the quarter-mile. The Tech tracksters obtained the satisfaction of a job well done and should be highly commended for their efforts, creating thereby a stand¬ ard to be bested by future squads. Track boys were entered in the following events: City Indoor Meet, Valley Relays, Drake Relays, Conference Meet at Indianola, State District Meet, City Outdoor Meet. (See wrestling story following Core Area section.) Ge neral Commercial The Commercial department consists of three di¬ visions—retailing, stenographic, and clerical. Students in the retailing department study people and personalities in order to be of benefit to custom¬ ers, practice sales ' techniques, and study arrange¬ ment of attractive window displays. When in twelfth grade, they may obtain valuable experience by working in the retail stores. The stenographic department includes both resi¬ dent and cooperative training. Each student re¬ ceives her basic training as a resident during her eleventh grade year, thus joining the cooperative department in twelfth grade. Here she is permitted to work under the cooperative plan in a business office on school time with school credit. Students in the clerical department learn to op¬ erate different types of machines used in offices. In twelfth grade, they gain actual experience by work¬ ing under the cooperative plan in a business office.

Not in picture: This department acquaints the student with the various commercial and service fields, and prepares her to choose one of the areas for specialized training. Business orientation includes a limited amount of work in the ac¬ counting, bookkeeping, clerical, stenographic, and retailing fields. In the foods and clothing area, foods are taught from the diatetics angle, while the study of textiles is confined to color, design, and com¬ position. Art orientation deals with the fundamentals of color, design, letter¬ ing and display. Regardless of the individual ' s ultimate vocational decision, the orien¬ tation course is invaluable in training the student as a competent man¬ ager of her own business affairs and as an intelligent consumer. Vocational Art The vocational art department seeks to train the student in the various phases of art essential to preparation of advertising and the sale of mer¬ chandise. Drawing, design, color, lettering, poster designing, layout, processes of reproduction, packaging, light- ing, photography, window trimming and display are all important elements of vocational art training. Practice in commercial art technique equips the artist to picture effectively for the buying public what the manufacturer and merchant have for sale.

The Permanent Record oi the Arts Vocational Drafting Industry demands draftsmen with ability to trans¬ late crude sketches into readable shop drawings. In Tech ' s drafting department a student is trained in proper lettering, technical sketching, and use of instruments common to industrial drafting rooms. He develops accurate habits in layout, measurement and technique to fit him for most any type of in¬ dustrial draftsmanship. Advanced students are assigned to special jobs as a regular part of their training. Some of these come from core areas within the school and some come from outside sources. Students may work un¬ der the co-op plan in their senior year. r ocational Drafting Front Row; John Dake, Lloyd Dove, Ray Fenton, Bob Vogt.

Vocational Radio In the radio department students learn funda¬ mentals of receivers in preparation to become re¬ pairmen. In the latter part of the course they study broadcast engineering. A completion of this study qualifies a student for a federal communications ' license to operate radio transmitters. The radio course also attracts students who plan to become electrical engineers. Two students are now employed as radio repair¬ men on the co-op plan. Several others have private repair jobs. Advanced students in the department are in charge of the school ' s public address systems.

Wrestling Wrestling was a major sport at Des Moines Tech again this year. From the first, the matmen were handicapped by the lack of personnel and equip¬ ment but not because of a deficiency of enthusiasm. Although their record was not outstanding, the boys deserve credit for their excellent performance under difficulties. Tech met the North and East squads twice while Fort Dodge made a journey to meet us. Tech drew a blank in all five engagements. Afterwards the wrestlers moved into the city meet where Dake, Creger, Devine and Heldt came out with second places in their respective weights. Bill Devine went on to take second place in the district meet held at East High and was scheduled to go to Clarion for the finals but had to leave for naval training before the tournament. On Coach Hughes ' wrestling squad this year were Bob Carpentier, Cliff Wright, Lee Kimes, Leon Dake, Bill Devine, Bob Zook, Dwight Creger, Judd Heldt, Dick Adams, Don Hodges, David Coulter, Tom Ather¬ ton, Jim Moore, Tom Collier, Ken Wells, Jim Disbrow, and Jack Samuelson.
