Remember when we were sophomores two years ago? We were little and quiet and really didn ' t know where to go. Remember when happiness to Rita Morgan was pick- les? When Sue Karasek and Judy (Ogg) Sneed ate M M ' s for breakfast? When the stuffy Seniors tried to sell us elevator tickets and failed and when you ' d ask them the way to a class they ' d send you in the opposite direction? When we all used to hang around with Senior friends because we didn ' t know anybody else? When our ID pictures turned out as mug shots? When we couldn ' t re- member the Sophomore orientation program because we were too busy looking at the opposite sex? When we A Loyal Reader! Keepin Busy! played as Snowman ' s after the Basketball games at Union Park up and down the slide? When the guys were trying to decide who had the fastest car? When everyone tried out for all the organizations and sports 7 Remember all these things were all part of our sophomore year! In our junior year we got a little wiser and grew up. Some! We didn ' t want to do as much dumb stuff. And now were Seniors looking back at all we ' ve done and accomplished, the good times we ' ve had. We ' ve enjoyed all three years at Des Moines Tech and if we had a chance, would we do it over again? You bet we would!! Good luck to everyone of our fellow classmates in all you do throughout the future! Are you sure? Isn ' t this fun!

On October 4 at the Homecoming Assembly, Nate Butts and Rita Morgan were named: Mr. Football and Homecoming Queen. Attendents to Mr. Football were: Sophomore Joe Tulk, Junior Steve Berry, and Senior Steve Silvey. Attendents to the Homecoming Queen were: Sophomore Brenda Jenkins, Junior Liz Wegner, and Senior Kim Carter. Following the seating of Mr. Football and Homecoming Queen a series of skits were put on by numerous organizations. The Varsity Cheerleaders showed their own version of Snow White, Key Club had a tug-a-war with one side Tech against Hoover, and Mrs. Knutson ' s class vac- uumed up the Hoover team. In all the excitement, Tech was ready to face Hoover in competition that evening. -8- Homecoming Assembly Homecoming Assembly -9- HOMECOMING GAME: Spirit strives hard The 1974 Engineer Homecoming ended on a sour note as the Hoover Huskies beat Tech 36-12. Tech ' s first score came with 1:35 seconds remaining in the game when Junior Richard Townsell intercepted a Hoover pass and ran 55 yards for a touchdown. Senior Derrick Harris intercepted a pass and scored on a 66 yard return as time ran out. Stopping em right now! Tech play in motion. -10- Homecoming Game HOMECOMING PARTY: Spirit swings on Homecoming Party -11- VARSITY FOOTBALL: Spirit tackles on The Engineers were hot and cold during the 1974 season while playing, without a doubt, the toughest high school schedule in the state! During eight weeks of rugged competition Tech High met no less than four of the state ' s top ten rated teams (Urban- dale, Dowling, North, and East). Of the four teams who took part in the Class AAAA state Champion- ship Playoffs (West Davenport, Dowling, North, and Urbandale), only West Davenport DID NOT appear on the Engineers regular season schedule. It takes a lot of sacrifice and discipline to play a schedule of this caliber, but if you are to become the best, you must play the best! The young men on this football team maintained a positive frame of mind throughout the entire season and in doing so displayed an attitude that would not in let them quit. Because of the valuable experience gained during this season and because many of the young men pictured on these pages will return for yet another year of football, we are all very optimistic as we look ahead to the 1975 season!

They were top heavy with sopho- mores which will give Tech the nucleus for developing a stronger team in the future. It paid off for the girl ' s only victory against North and it allowed their meet scores to be much more respectable as they were competing on a more equal basis of number of swimmers competing for points The seniors provided outstanding Leadership which will prove invaluable in the future. Coach Ray McAdam remarked, I enjoyed coaching the girl ' s swim team this year and they were a good group of girls who worked hard and accom- plished a lot during the season.

The team though slipped to a 6th place finish compared to a ' 73 season placing of 4th in the Metropolitan Conference Meet. All varsity runners dipped under last years best times as Dan Lowery led the way with 10.08 min. school record for 2 miles.

However, they lost to Lincoln by 6 points, Ames by 4 points, Roosevelt by 5 points, Lincoln by 1 point, North by 2 and Dallas Community by 7. Norwalk put the Tech ' s girls out of District play in the state tournament. Several sophomore girls played both varsity and sophomore games and their record showed wins over Lincoln, Ames, Hoover, North twice, Roosevelt, East, Dowling and Roosevelt. So next year looks good for the girls squad. Yvonne McGregor was one of the city ' s lead- ing scorers but only ended up being on honor- able mention on the All-Metro team.

They are responsible for laying out the mats and wiping them off which is an energetic way they show spirit for the wrestlers. Along with those duties the mat maids also help by cheering with the cheerleaders and they helped sell bumper stickers and calendars for the booster club. They received new gold sweaters this year, provided by Wrestling Boost- er Club, that they wore with navy blue slacks to designate them from other school organizations. In the photo are: Row one: Sandy Schultz and Rita Morgan. Row two: Maria Bancroft, Vicky Simbro and Karen Fulton. WRESTLING BOOSTER CLUB: Spirit gets a boost Mrs. Carol Coulter, Mrs. Shirley Sadler and Mrs: Betty Dawson: The members were busy and sold ads for an all-school calen- dar with scheduled athletic events. From these profits they bought new wrestling cheer- leading uniforms and pillows. They also bought the mat maids sweaters and furnished the mat men with refreshments at the tournaments. They also profited from the sales of bumper stickers which sold quickly! Officers of this school year were: President Mrs. Shirley Sadler; Vice-President Mr. Mau- rice Glenn; Secretary Mrs. Carol Coulter; and Treasurer Mrs. Betty Dawson. -58- Mat Maids and Wrestling Booster Club Wrestling -59- BOYS SWIMMING: Spirit brings metro win This year ' s Boys Swimming season wasn ' t as suocessful as hoped.

Only five girls reported for the team but were unable to hold their own in the tough competition. Out for golf this year were seniors Vicky Simbro, Maria Bancroft, Darcy McAdam; junior Peggy Haskins and sophomore Pam Berry. Tech beat East in their first meet and only lost to Hoover by three strokes and Indianola by seven. Valley and Dowling meets had to be forfeited because of com- plications of the schedule. Considering the few out, the girls did a good job, said Mr. Frey. And I want to thank Maria Bancroft and Vicky Simbro for their leadership on the team. %.

The girls varsity proved to be one of the strongest girls teams in recent Tech history showing early season victories over metro rivals East and North.

The team was a well-balanced team but needed a couple of top players to compete in the tough Metro conference. Tech needed more experience at the top, but Coach Galen Johnson was well pleased with the turn-out of players for the team. Not having outdoor courts close to Tech hampers the team since all practice sessions are at Birdland. The tennis program is growing at Tech under the direction of Mr. Johnson and it is hoped that in the future, more players will be able to compete in summer tennis tournaments around the state that experience needed for a win- ning team in the Metro conference.

A time when man suddenly awoke from a lifestyle of increasing, and many times wasteful, energy consumption. And when he awoke to decreasing fuel and energy supplies, he took a positive step and entered the age of energy conservation. It will be noted as a time when it became as important to use existing energy supplies wisely, as to find and develop new and alternate sources. That ' s why at Iowa Power, we think practicing energy conservation, like insulating your house well, is so important. Important because we don ' t think it makes sense for any of Us to use or pay for more energy than we really need. At Iowa Power, it ' s our responsibility to provide adequate supplies of energy. It ' s your responsibility not to waste any of it.
