Morton, in recognition of his fine character, outstanding leadership, and devotion to youth through twenty-nine years of service with the Des Moines schools, the senior class dedicates the 1946 Warrior. Retired in 1945, Mr. Morton served his last three years as director of the Des Moines Tech print shop. Throughout the city, men who were once Mr. Morton ' s students are successful print¬ ers today. His helpfulness and inspiration to others are a measure of his worth and, in them¬ selves, a tribute. AdmmMt ' uuticm PERRY G. FRASIER, Principal CARRIE W.

During the past three years they have seen Tech grow from a very small beginning to become one of the finest Technical schools in the Midwest. When this class entered Tech, the war training division was still in operation and the orientation shop was just being started. There were no art, auto-diesel, electricity, and tailoring departments. Nor was there a library or noon movies. During these three years, new teachers and new departments have been added; the student body has increased; the new school became fully accredited; West Tech” became Des Moines Tech. In September 1945, the new G. I. department was established giving the returned veteran a chance to get his high school diploma. Their final year will always be memorable as seniors recall a cham¬ pionship football team and an outstanding basketball club. Activities this class has helped to establish are Technician (school paper), Warrior (yearbook), mixed chorus, Discussion Club, D-Tech Club, Hi-Y, and TePee Club. They have also been active on student council and student committees. Now for the senior events: Following the election of officers, commit¬ tees were appointed and activities began. Fifty seniors became kids again at the senior mixer, which everyone agreed was a swell party. A gay semi-formal dance planned around the May Day theme was one of the social highlights of the year. Final days were crammed with exciting events and evidenced hard work by all senior committees. Good fun and good food marked the senior picnic May 24. In addition to a program of entertainment, colors were presented to seniors by Mr. Frasier, and Court Hooton, senior vice president, passed the school key to Lee Kimes, 12B, in the traditional class day ceremonies. An excellent program and col orful decorations, using the class flower, pansy, and the class colors, violet and chartreuse, made the senior banguet at Younkers tearoom a most enjoyable occasion. Class sermon June 2 and commencement exercises June 6 concluded three years of fun, activity, study and technical training for the class of ' 46. They are proud to be graduates of Tech. They leave to the under¬ classmen the privilege of upholding the fine spirit, traditions and stand¬ ards which the seniors have sought to establish and maintain. 1 2 3 4 1 AMOS, CARL—Machine Shop Chorus 7, 8 ; Boys ' Quartette 7, 8 ; Wrestling 7; Cheer Leader 7, 8 ; Chairman Senior Picnic 8 5 2 ANDERSON, ORLEE—Co-op Clerical Class Day 8 3 ATHERTON, THOMAS—Drafting Baseball 8 4 BARKLEY , ROBERT—Commercial Art Student Council 7; Social Committee 6 ; Home Room President 6 , Vice President 8 ; Basketball 5-8; Track 6 ; Football Equip¬ ment Manager 7; Senior Banquet 8 5 BLOOMBURG, MARILYN—Co-op Stenographic Student Council Social Committee 7; TePee Club 5-8; Chorus, 7, 8 ; Office Service Start, 5, 6 ; Senior Dance 8 6 BOLLE, LEROY—Machine Shop Home Room Vice President 6 ; Senior Dance 8 7 BRANNON, MILDRED—Clerical Library Monitor 7; Office Service Staff 5, 6 ; Junior Town Meeting 7; Senior Picnic 8 8 BRANNEN, VELDA JEAN—Co-op Clerical Cap and Gown 8 9 CANFIELD, ROBERT—Radio Junior Town Meeting 7; Class Day 8 6 7 8 1 CARR, DONALD—Machine Shop Building and Grounds Committee 4; Home Room President 6; Hi-Y 4, 5; Baseball 4. 6; Football 7; Senior Dance 8 2 CHIOVARO, MARY—Co-op Retailing Class Day 8 3 CASSELL, JOHN—Auto-Diesel Mechanics D-Tech Club 7, 8; Wrestling 7; Football 5. 7; Senior Picnic 8 4 DOOLEY, RHEA—Co-op Stenographic TePee Club 6. 7; Chorus 7; Lunchroom Cashier 5-8; Class Day 8 5 DOVE, LLOYD—Co-op Drafting Student Council Social Committee 3, 4, Service Committee 5, 6, Vice President 5.

STITES 8 These are my hands— capable and skilled. This is my machine. It multiplies the power of my hands. Des Moines Technical High School offers a new step in education for Des Moines youth. Students enter an orientation program through which they receive experience in various fields of business, craft and industry. After this course is finished, each student chooses his vocation and enters a five-semester training period under the guidance of competent teachers. The tech¬ nical school requires the same high standards of work as are demanded by professional people. Advanced seniors secure positions in reput¬ able downtown establishments. This additional experience prepares them more completely in their specialized fields. The following pictures and paragraphs will explain in some measure the aims and ac¬ complishments of Des Moines Technical School. s s s Frent Row: Marguerite Fuson, Luciila Fisch, Presha Pryor, Fena Severino, Barbara Sansom, Marjorie Dehner.

Clerical and Stenographic Resident and Cooperative Thirty-four students of the eleventh and twelfth grades were enrolled this semester in the clerical and stenographic departments. Work of this core area is arranged so that a girl takes her specialized training as a resident during her eleventh-grade year. As a senior, she is eligible for the cooperative employment program whereby she receives practical experi¬ ence by working half time in some business office. Her work is supervised by her employer as well as by her instructor. On-the-job train¬ ing carries school credit and provides a nice income for the student.

General Commercial The general commercial course is designed as the next step for the girl who has narrowed her vocational choice to the commercial field following a semester of experience in commer¬ cial and service orientation. During this period, girls are given basic train¬ ing in business practice and office routine. At the conclusion of the course, the student moves into the resident training classes organized into three principal divisions: clerical, stenographic, retailing.

Commercial and Service Orientation When a girl enters Des Moines Technical School as a 10B, she is enrolled in the commer¬ cial and service orientation program. Here she becomes acquainted with the mate¬ rials, the work, and the many opportunities in fields of art, business, foods and clothing. Here, too, she discovers her own interests and abili¬ ties. She is, therefore, better qualified to choose the general area in which she will take her specialized vocational training.

In addition to learning sales ' techniques, this group must also study personal grooming, cus tomer relationships, and merchandise display. Tailoring In the new tailoring department, students are first taught how to make simple clothes such as dresses and play suits. This practice helps them to understand the fundamentals of sewing. As the course continues, students learn how to make tailored sui ts and coats. Upon comple¬ tion of this work they are qualified to take jobs in alteration departments and tailor shops. The course also attracts students who wish to do sewing for themselves. Front Row: Jerry Thomas, Gene Sapp, Ed Vuper, Dick Pratt, Jack Viers.

Trade and Industrial Orientation When a 10B boy enters Tech, he spends his first semester in orientation shop. Here he learns the fundamentals of every technical course offered by the school. Purpose of this course is to introduce the stu¬ dent to each core area so that he will be able to choose the course in which he wishes to spe¬ cialize for the remaining five semesters. Since orientation offers a taste of each voca¬ tion, it cuts down the possibility of unhappy choices. Front Row: Lena Melton.

Commercial Art Young commercial artists learn here the fun¬ damentals of selling ' ' to the potential buying public a great variety of products and merchan¬ dise—even ideas. This they accomplish through color and design in posters, window trimming, displays, lighting and lettering. This department has already won numerous honors and awards for participation in local, state and national projects. A modern studio, the best of equipment, and excellently trained teachers aid these young artists in their prospective fields.

Drafting In the vocational drafting department—where accuracy in detail is the keynote—boys and girls are being trained in the techniques of letter¬ ing, sketching, layout and the many varied phases of draftsmanship required in modern architectural and mechanical industries. Senior students with high ratings participate in the co-op employment plan and are placed in leading Des Moines firms. Printing “Learn by doing might well be the motto of the print shop as it attempts to train boys in the basic phases of the printing trade. This year the print shop has more students on co-op than ever before. This, indeed, is a record in which the department may take pride. It indicates that students are adequately trained at Tech to assume responsibilities in commer¬ cial shops. Workinq in close cooperation with the jour¬ nalism department, printing students have faith¬ fully met publication schedule for the Tech¬ nician.

Machine Shop Much new equipment has been added to this department during 1945-46, thus broadening opportunities for student training and experi¬ ence. Here students learn to make tools and parts. They also gain experience in the use and care of tools and machines commonly used in ma¬ chine shops. Welding Many opportunities for future industrial em¬ ployment are offered through the welding de¬ partment. Students are given instruction and practice in both arc and acetylene welding. Following the five-semester training course, a student is prepared to take a job doing any type of welding with any type of metal. Front Row: Ken O ' Brien, Gene Sewell, Ray Dean Heeth.

With this training a boy should be able to step out far ahead of others starting at the trade. Here as elsewhere, ex¬ perience is the greatest teacher, but with these boys a firm foundation has been laid for their future in the mechanical field. This course is yet young and is still in the process of develop¬ ment and organization. Even so. Tech is turn¬ ing out young men well trained in the useful field of auto mechanics.

Radio Vocational radio attracts boys interested in becoming radio repairmen, broadcast engi¬ neers, or electrical engineers. Through five semesters of specialized study and experience, these boys master basic prin¬ ciples in the broad and practical field of radio. This year, for the first time, a Tech student qualified for his amateur radio operator and sta¬ tion license. To achieve this license and be allowed to put a transmitter on the air, a stu¬ dent must pass the Federal Communications ' Commission examination. Basic Electricity Basic electricity, a course designed to follow the orientation classes and train boys who wish to go into radio, electricity, refrigeration and air- conditioning, has been added to the curriculum this semester. Thirty-six boys took advantage of this course and many more will be enrolled next fall. This department, now adequately equipped, is a splendid addition to the Tech shops.

The board of education and Superintendent McCombs, realizing that many of these boys had never completed high school and that they might wish to do so, es¬ tablished a special high school department for them at Des Moines Technical School. When school began in September, five vet¬ erans enrolled. Their schooling began with one instructor in charge, teaching English and social studies only. At the present time, two hundred veterans are enrolled and the courses of study include eight semesters of mathematics, eight semesters of commercial subjects, eight semesters of English, six semesters of social studies. These courses are supervised by four full-time instructors and five part-time instructors. Besides these courses, a student is entitled to enroll in any of the regu¬ lar vocational courses at Tech or to enroll for any course offered by other high schools in the city.

More than twenty-five post-graduate students have been enrolled for refresher courses or courses that they will need for enrollment in college. Twenty-four boys have completed their high school work and are eligible to receive their diplomas this spring. They are entitled to re¬ ceive this diploma from the last school which they attended, or, if they choose, they may re¬ ceive it from Des Moines Technical School. Full-Time Instructors MR.

Council sponsored activities and projects this year included Community Chest and Red Cross participation, student mixer and homecoming dance, campaign for improved conditions in corridors and auditorium, pep and talent as¬ semblies, and music for the lunchroom. Active are the social, service, building and grounds, assembly, and stage committees. Publications Work and activities of the publications de¬ partment have expanded considerably this year. Senior journalism students published nine issues of the Technician, were active in local journalism clinics, and participated in the Iowa High School Press Conference at Iowa State College, Ames. Through the cooperation of the commercial art department, timely cartoons were provided for each issue of the paper and for the first time, the Technician entered the field of advertising. With sketches from the art department and copy written by journalism students, ads were pre¬ pared for Younkers and Equitable Life Insur¬ ance Company of Iowa. In the publication of the Warrior, journalism students prepared copy while art, drafting, com¬ mercial and printing departments handled other features of the book. Front Row: Lucilla Fisch.

Office Service Staff Twenty student volunteers were named to the office service staff this semester. Because they give up a study period daily for this work, it is necessary that they maintain satisfactory scho¬ lastic averages. Some of the girls pictured here serve as cafe¬ teria cashiers, while the majority work with Miss Tew in the office. Their assignments in¬ clude handling telephone messages, running errands, assisting with records, typing, and other office details. Library Staff The library staff is composed of a group of voluntary student assistants who give their study periods to work with Miss Smith. Their tasks include keeping books, maga¬ zines, and newspapers in order, checking out library materials, and handling errands from the library. Miss Smith finds them very helpful and tries to see that each gains some experience in work ing with people and in learning library tech¬ niques. v; m Front Row: Loa Dawson, Therese Andrews, Dorris Johnson, Beverly Stuart, Glennys Ulm, Marilyn Rutz.

Membership is open to students interested in discussing timely issues and desiring to develop their own abilities to think clearly and to ex¬ press themselves intelligently. Initial interest in this type of activity was cre¬ ated at the time Tech students participated in the British Broadcast competition. Through the interest of a similar club at North High and under the direction of Mrs. Bohlman. the club was formed this spring with twenty- nine members. Cheer Leaders In their bright blue and gold uniforms, cheer leaders were on hand for every game through¬ out the year, cheering our teams to fight on to victory. In addition, they handled most of the pep assemblies. The student body wishes to thank Fayrene Woodford, Drusilla Newlon, Mina Nelson, Carl Amos, Charles McClain and Howard Rogers for a grand job.

Walter Ditto, ex-marine, gave an account of his experiences while a prisoner of war in Japan. Larry Chamberlain entertained mem¬ bers with demonstrations of magic proving that the hand is quicker than the eye. Ralph Pa- caut, former Olympic wrestling champ, spoke on physical development.

Football This season of football. Tech ' s second, was about the best anyone could desire. With the recording of seven wins, no losses, and but one tie. Tech was the only Des Moines team to com¬ plete the season undefeated. Tech entered the South Central Iowa Confer¬ ence last fall and emerged co-champion at the end of the season, sharing the honors with Knoxville. This team also boasts a halfback, Everett Cochrane, who took the city scoring title. Stars? Well, they were all stars. Perhaps those players deserving special mention were John Cassell, right tackle; Court Hooton, all-city end; Dwight Reese, quarterback; and Everett Cochrane, all-city halfback. Although the second-team football men can¬ not boast a perfect scoring record as can the first, they can boast a perfect record for efforts and spirit. Among the second team ' s competi tors were East, Lincoln, North and Roosevelt. Front Row: Claison Groff, Don Coy, John Grandquist, Bill Evans, Fred Shafer.

Basketball During the winter season, Des Moines Tech launched a fine set of floormen. Coach Harold Johnson had the same starting line-up as he had last season when the Warriors were able to score only three victories. This same team and some excellent reserves reached the sub¬ state tournament this year, only to lose in that series to Harlan. Wrestling Fourteen men were out for wrestling during the ' 45- ' 46 season and participated in several meets. Boys lettering were Charles Lampman, Bill Swanson, Don Ellingson and Willis Beem. Mr. Olsen served as coach for the bone-crush¬ ers this year. All of the wrestlers are expected to be back for the ' 46- ' 47 season. Front Row: Fred Shafer, Don Ellingson, Bob Valen tine, Bill Boots.

Working out every night at Drake field- house under the direction of Coach Johnson, these boys qualified for participation in a series of meets. All were inexperienced and consequently did not place in competition. Being underclassmen, they are expected to resume track next spring and should make a strong team. Baseball Baseball again took the spotlight as Tech ' s principal spring sport. This year ' s team was without enough experience to withstand the on¬ slaught of the stronger and more experienced squads, but the batmen deserve commendation for their loyal spirit and sportsmanship dis played throughout the season.
