academics and ad ministration We at Tech are all the same- the same in what we seek, at least: to build a future... to find a place. Together we work, we share, we grow, we broaden our knowledge and visions. Our sameness is reflected in the pattern of our daily activity, our studies, our perplexities and worries. As in every group of people, there are those who stand out among us- leaders, whose job it is to teach and lead us, to build our characters, strengthen our ideals... To help us find our way -to know what we must know to be a part of a society that is both bold and intricate, simple and complex - always moving. We at Tech are the same...

Mr. E. C. Betz Principal ' 69 was not all silver moments. There was much unfinished work left to do. Mr. E. C. Betz retires after 23 years; earns title, f Mr. Tech ' Mr. E. C. Betz is concluding many years of service to Tech in 1969. He is retiring f rom Des Moines l ech after twenty-three years as principal. Mr. Betz began his years at Tech in 1946, when it was a very new school. He replaced Mr. P. (i. Frasier, Tech ' s first principal. The building of Tech into one of the midwest ' s finest technical-vocational schools was due in a great part to the efforts of Mr. Betz. Under his direction, Des Moines Tech tripled its en- rollment and expanded into a larger building. The new facilities enabled Tech to offer more opportunities to more Des Moines students. Many of the additions and improvements for the new building were the result of continuing work and encouragement by Mr. Betz. A stu- dent parking lot added in the fall of 1968 was evidence of his never ending concern for Tech students. In the twenty-three years of his career at Tech, Mr. Betz saw some of the school ' s finest moments. lech ' s twenty-fifth year was com- pleted in 1969 under his direction. Mr. Don Blackmail, who served as principal-elect for the [£68-69 school year, will replace Mr. Betz, and will start Tech on its second quarter- century of progress. Des Moines Tech gradu- ates, students, and future students owe much to Mr. E. C. Betz, who certainly deserves the title, Mr. Tech. At times it was even hard to find the desk. But there were also times of celebration. 10
