Administration Sets tone for Tech Mr. Don Blackman, prin¬ cipal at Tech High, is best known for his early morning announcement of “Have a good day at Des Moines Tech.” But this is typical of his attitude toward the school and the students. He wants every day to be a good day for the school and the students, and he works toward that goal. Fighting for things he thinks Tech should have and should be, Mr. Blackman puts in many a long day but a good one. Planning for ninth graders in 1979 at Tech was one of his big projects for this year. Principal Blackman plans for a good day. Mr. Blackman cheers for OP Tech!

Days Past Days to Come The yearbook theme of 1978 is; “Days Past; Days to Come.” In this school year, Tech has accomplished new and exciting things in which we hope will remind you of the pleasant and warm memories of the “days past.” The “days to come” will bring on new discoveries and purposes for all of us. Therefore, every ENGINEER will have gained much of the wisdom and pride needed to deal with the challenges he she will encounter in the future, by choosing Tech as his her high school. The purpose of this yearbook is to present to you, the most exciting moments endured over each season the 1977-78 year.
