Betz upon his retirement in ' 69. Although his teaching career has taken him to many Des Moines schools, Mr. Blackman confesses to have a spot in his heart for the Engineers. Mr. Larry Gillespie changed his role at Tech this year. Formerly a teacher of Biology and the Health Services Core Area, Mr. Gillespie is now vice prin- cipal and boy ' s advisor. Mrs. Mary Anne McManus is the girl ' s advisor here at Tech and has been for eight years. Along with her regular duties, Mrs. McManus supervises the senior activities each spring. Blackman, Gillespie, and McManus Work with Students to Make Tech the Best! Mr. Gillespie refereed at Faculty-Sophomore basketball game. Mrs. McManus glady counsels students. FOR SOPHOMORES, TECH IS A NEW EXPERIENCE! September 1970 brought to Tech the largest sophomore class in six years. Nearly 700 strong, they came to face the excitement and challenges of high school. It was a new experience, altogether different from junior high school. Perhaps frightening at first, the days progressed and the sophomores became a part of Tech life. They became members of the many organizations and even started to know the school without the help of their maps. They got to know the superior up- perclassmen and awaited the time when they would be able to say the word sophomore with a look of disgusted superiority. Good Luck class of ' 73.

Drive The Sophomores were greeted by the faculty and upper classmen who encouraged everyone to support their school by buying an S.A.T. This being the first big event, it hit off with a ZONK! The class of 73, over all 900 upper classmen showed loyalty and enthusiasm for Tech. The 1970-71 school year started off with a new S.A.T. system that consisted of using the S.A.T. with he I.D. cards instead of the two separate cards. The S.A.T. staff under the direction of Mr. Loren Chelleen, underwent much hard work in keeping the books and records straight, laminating each picture, getting each card signed and correcting all errors in the collecting of the S.A.T. money. Congratulations!! For a job well done. FRONT: Cheryl Mortley, Pat Mettler. BACK: Debbie Waft..

Starting with attending every pep assembly and game, they set a good example for all Tech students. Terry Durham was the captain, and the sponsor was Mrs. Lorrie Streyffeler. The varsity squad members were: Captain Terry Durham, seniors Cheryl Burse and Cindy Carter, and juniors Diane Duke, Carole Myers, Sandy Knox, Ruby Robinson, Toni Wilson, Patti Page and Kathy Chesow- sky. The alternates were Rhonda Boylan and Nancy Mc- Clintock. Junior Diane Duke shows a little co-ordination and style. T-AAen Take Up Cheerleading In Effort To Boost Tech Football Spirit T-AAen rallied with enthusiasm throughout the year to carry on Tech ' s traditional pride and spirit. President, Jim Karasek, headed up the activities which included 3 pep assemblies, the Homecoming car parade, and the decorating of the Lincoln Stadium. One of the major spirit boosters at Tech was the selling of the booster ribbons, backed by the T-AAen Club. The active members were: Mike Blair, Barry Calli- gan, Dave Snyder, AAichael Little, Don Hall, Don Karasek and Rick Carrington. The DM. T-Men ' s Club showed enthusiastic sup- port of the team at all the games. They also inspired cheerleading that enlivened the games and displayed undying loyalty. I Pep Club V.S. T-Men In School Spirit The year started off with posters and pom poms to bring in the 1970-71 football season. Pep Club, the girls who joined, sat together in all the major events and joined the cheerleaders in conducting powerfully spirited cheers and songs. These girls painted posters, made badges for their school team, performed dances for their fellow classmen and boosted the moral of every student at each pep assembly they held. The sponsor is held very highly with thanks from all girls of the 1970-71 pep section. Miss Dobash gave all her efforts to make this year a good one. The officers were, Pat AAettler, President; Debbie Hall- bauer, Vice President; Debbie Nagle, Pep Captain; and Nancy Horpstead, Secretary. 28 Football Season Continues FOOTBALL SCORES Urbandale. Valley East Dowling Lincoln Roosevelt .. North Hoover 0 6 0 1 4 0 0 0 6 30 Steve Dyser Jim Ford Bob Houston Dave Levell 34 Les Cason Ricky Pickett Engineers Score Tech opened the season with a loss to Urbandale 38-0. The Engineers couldn ' t hold the Bluejays who scored in every quarter except the third. A 67-yard pass from John Harris to Al Butts was Tech ' s only score in a 36-6 defeat by Valley. East beat Tech 26-0 on a cold and rainy night and Tech dropped two passes in the end zone for a scor- ing threat. But Fail To Win The number one team, Dowling, hit Tech with a 54-14 loss but the Engineers scored twice. Al Butts scored after getting a flip pass from Steve Dyser. And Steve, himself, ran the ball over for another TD. Roosevelt beat Tech 47-0 on October 1 0. Lincoln got to Tech 33-0 the next week on their way to a show-down with Dowling for the Metro title. At Homecoming for Tech, Hoover proved to be too much and the Engineers lost 26-6. Steve Dyser scored the only touchdown. In the final game, North whipped Tech on Oct. 30, 24-0. 35 Rene Robinson Roy Rupe Paul Simmons Rick Thompson Ken Wimbler Desi Woods Tech ' s sophomore football team showed much improvement from last year ' s squad. The team showed a 2-5 record at the end of the season. The offensive and defensive backfields were strong and fast but the line lacked the size to put Tech on the winning side for the season. Coaches say that this was the best sophomore squad in ten years at Tech, building hope for next year. Tech defeated Valley in the opening game and North in the last one of the season.

The men lettering were seniors Dave Barnes, Doug Thornburg and Jose Gonzales. Junior lettermen were Mike Dickey, Brian Schon, John Six, Louis Gonzales and Tim Flowers. Other lettermen were sophomores Larry Kellis, Bob Howe, Kevin Watts and Jack Blanchard. 50 Co-captains Share the Agony of Defeat While everyone is practicing out on the football field for the first game of the season, a few meager, but spirited, men strive on the cross country track for speed. Co-captains Dave Barnes and Doug Thornburg stated that the Cross Country team gave their cooperation as a whole. Both also added that they enjoyed being a part of the team, and they wish they could come back next year and do it all over again. We would have tried harder if more guys would have gone out for it, but the guys we did have, put out a lot of time and sweat for the team, explained Dave Barnes, a senior in the Automotive Body Shop core area. Dave Thornburg is also a senior and is in the Auto Mechanics core area. The low score wins on the table to the right.

At Christmas time Student Council sponsored an activity of sending packages to Tech alumni who are now serving in Viet Nam to show we care. Two representatives of each class were elected to serve on all-city student council. They took an active part by serving on committees and reporting back to Tech ' s council to make this truly an active and successful year. First semester executive board.

Florian Schilling, foreign student from Ger- many, was involved in many Tech activities, among them being News Editor of the Technician. Rob Forest, Dennis Day, Mike Killion, Darrell Turley, and La Claire Mitchell all worked hard to write articles for the Technician. Dennis and Rob were also responsible for the football section of the yearbook. Technician Staff... Journalism I students learn fundamentals of good writing and reporting. Cindy Taylor, Georgina Brewer, and Angela Brown among the reporting staff of the paper. 198 Engineer Staff Rick Carrington tries to decode his handwriting while Sherri Peter- sen looks for someplace to put a leftover picture. Marlena Burg and Charis Potter worked hard sorting I.D. pictures and making up the Senior Directory. This year ' s yearbook, as has probably al- ready been noted, is different. The sections are somewhat out of the set pattern of things. This year ' s staff decided to add a little interest to things by getting the events of the year in chronological order instead of the ordinary old Sports and Activities sections. Due to this planning and to last minute spurts of creativity by the staff, Tech students can say that they definitely have an unusual yearbook. Pat Mettler, Assistant Editor of the Engineer, talks things over with Editor Bekki Rannebarger. Pam Gray listens to another of Carole Myers ' pearls of wisdom. With add managers like Bob Propst and Butch Renes, it ' s a wonder anything was accomplished! 199 THE 1971 ENGINEER WAS BACKED BY MANY DES MOINES BUSINESSES...
