DEDICATION TO THE BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES NE hundred end fifty years ogo the thirteenth American colony ratified and thereby made effective the most unique document in history — the Constitution of the United States. By this act the ideals of the Declaration of Independence were made a reality and a new social freedom — democracy — was ushered upon the modern world scene. The adoption of the Constitution in 1789, marks the birth-day of the United States. In the mind of every idealist and lover of liberty the familiar phrases of the Preamble will forever echo as shining ideals and practical principles of collective living. Domestic tranquility’ ’justice”, perfect union’V'the general welfare ,— there is in these phrases a challenge to the dictatorships that have made their appearance upon the world stage in the last twenty years. We can be grateful for the guiding hand of the Constitution which kept before us the ideals of democracy while we experienced the vicissitudes that are concometants of the birth of a nation. America is young, but with its roots so deeply imbedded in the sound principles of the Constitution it presents itself as one of the most promising nations on earth. This annual therefore takes great pride in dedicating itself to the commemoration of the sesqui-centennial anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution end to the continued application of its great principles. May their principles continue to foster opportunity and progress, and inspire the defense of human liberties. The Annual Board

FORWARD rX)R THREE years we have looked forward to graduation. Now that the long expected moment is here we are beginning to review in our minds our experiences at East Technical. The thought of departure makes these memories and scenes more vivid, and in retrospect we are better able to appreciate the benefits we have received and the good friends we have made. It is the purpose of the June Bug, as always, to give permanent record to the familiar faces and personalities of faculty and students, and to suggest and recall the thousand and one things that have made up the happy activities of life at Tech. In these pages you’ll find them forever fresh and crystal clear, ready to live and to bring you to life among them if you are willing to give them a chance. We hope that the June Bug fulfills its purpose and that when you sit down to thumb through its pages you will find yourself among old classmates in corridor and classroom. We hope you will experience a warm enjoyment in these excursions of memory. What merit this annual may have is due to the cooperation of the faculty advisors, Miss Zuleime Garrett, Mr. Paul L. Scherer, and Mr. Paul M. Min-ghini.To them we wish to make known our deep appreciation and thanks. We also wish to thank Carl Pearson, printing assistant, and the senior printers who have set up the annual. The fine art work produced by Mike Scaparotti, George Strapp, and Napoleon Wilson, under the direction of art editor John Tobalskiand Mr. Buddenhagen deserves special mention. It will contribute greatly to to the pleasure you’ll feel in reading these pages of your life at Tech. The Annual Board
