Many boys have preceded you as graduates of the two year trade courses and have already proven to the world that the training they received here is valuable. Others are completing their two year courses this year and are ready for the next step. We hope that step is in the direction of further education. Upon the shoulders of the seniors, however, falls the responsibility of laying the foundations of the reputation that our Technical School is to bear in the industrial fields of our community. You have accomplished much here beside the learning of your daily lessons in Mathematics, English, Science, Shop, and others. You have built character, friendships, and personalities of inestimable value to you in any pursuit you may adopt. We are sorry to have you leave usg but we would not, if we could, withhold from you the joys of the battle of life. We hope that some of you will have an opportunity to continue your education at college. If you are denied this privilege, we know that you are well prepared for the business of life. Our best wishes go with you for all time. l11l TORCH Senior Class History Late in February, 1931, a group of boys assembled in the Central High School building. They were to be the student body of the newly organized Technical High School. In this group there were thirty juniors who were to become the first Senior Class at Tech. The newly organized Senior Class met in the early part of September and elected their class officers. Stanley Hewitt was elected presidentg Neal Bovee, vice-presidentg Jack Dronfield, secretary, and Alois Kendziora, treasurer. On January 22, 1932, the Senior Class held the school's first Prom at the Y. W. C. A. Our own Green and White Serenaders played for the occasion, We also held two skating parties that were fairly successful. The Seniors participated in all the school activities. They made their entry in the four sports, football, track, swimming, and water polo. They have also been prominent in music. In fact most of our classmates have been successful scholastically, athletically, and socially. We are the first Senior Class to leave the Erie Technical High School. Our time here has been much too short for us to do much in the way of setting a Senior Class standard. We hope that what we have done has made a good im- pression on the future classes in spite of the fact that we have been here slightly over a year. We can truthfully say that we have spent our time profitably at Tech. We, the Senior Class of 1932, will enter into the industrial world and do more than any other organized class could do for its schoolfwe will prove the real value of Tech. l12l TOR Ford Bannister Football 43 basketball 33 shop basketball 2, 3, 43 glee club 13 school play 1. Ford is offended if his teachers and friends don't agree with himg and no wonder, he's right such a large percentage of the time. We wish that we all had your self-confidence, Ford. Neal Bovee Basketball 1, 23 debating team 1, 23 glee club 1, 23 track 1, 23 class vice president 43 Torch staff 43 Class play 1, 3, 43 commencement speaker. Neal is one of our more talented draftsmen. He is always ready to enjoy himself, but he clings to the old slogan, Business before pleasure. Neal is thinking about entering college to study archi- tectural engineering. We hope you do, Neal, your success is practically assured. Carl Coppersmith Shop basketball 1, 2. Carl is one of our quiet class-mates with the stick-to-it-tiveness that appeals to all. Carl and his studies get along very well together. Leo Dopierala Track 1, 3, 43 shop basketball 4. A happy, easy-going fellow who delights in being happy, for he takes the world in its happiest mood. That is Leo, as his class-mates know him. We may also add that he is one of our best track men. Ernest Ericson Shop basketball 43 Torch staff 4. just bring around the mathematical problem that Ernest can't do, or ask him a question on elec- tricity that he can't answer. You'll search a long time before you find it. How does he do it? VVe wish we knew. Stanley Fraczkowski Swimming 3, 4g water polo 3, 4. Who drew that funny cartoon on the board? ask the teacher, trying to keep from laughing. Our cartoonist looks up and smiles. That's all right, Stan, the world needs talented cartoonists. l13 TORCH Stanley Hewitt Basketball 1, 25 track 1, 23 debating team 1, 29 glee club 1, 25 school plays 1, 2, 3, 4, Senior class president, commencement speaker, Hi-Y vice- president 45 ring committee 3, 4. We present our class president, the life of any party. His sense of humor makes him one of Tech's most popular graduates. And just a note of warning -don't introduce him to your best girl-friend, unless you want to lose her. Anthony J urkovic Basketball 1, 25 class baseball 43 track 1, 33 football 1. Anthony, as his friends all know, is a good stu- dent. When it comes to solving a problem in mathematics, or physics, he is right there. We are sure that he will be successful in the work which he wishes to undertake. Roger Kelly Torch staff 43 track 2, 3, 45 Tech-ni-Call staff 3, 43 shop basketball 2, 3, 4. Roger is a boy that we all look up to. His work as art editor of the Torch is greatly admired. His record at Tech in both scholarship and athletics is a worthy one. Don't you think Roger will make quite an illustrator? Albert Kremp Football 45 Tech-ni-Call staff 45 swimming 4. A true friend and earnest student is the only way to describe Albert. His charming personality and cheery smile have won for him a host of friends. Sylvester Nawrocki Sylvester is considered a mighty good fellow by his many friends. His ability to take and give a good joke, his school-spirit, and conscientiousness, all help to make him popular. We are sure, he will be successful. Edward Nowak Football 49 track 4, shop basketball 3, 4. Who ever saw Eddie when he wasn't smiling? We all consider him a worth-while friend. Eddie is an energetic worker and an enthusiastic athlete. 141 TORCH Javier Rabago Torch staff 43 shop basketball 33 ticket sales committee for class play 43 French club 1. Javier is able, versatile, and energetic. He has not only made an enviable scholastic record, but he has played an important part in every one of the activities he has joined. We greatly appreciate his work as a member of the Torch staff. Eugene Rudoplh Shop basketball 43 junior class vice president 35 commencement speaker. Eugene is one of our studious class-mates. Mathematics and science are his shining lights. VVe are sure Eugene will be successful in his chosen pro- fession-electricity. William Steinbrink Shop basketball 4. lYe all know, Steinie, the practical joker. If there's any fun to be had he doesn't miss it, but this doesnlt interfere with his work, for we find that he has a creditable scholastic record.

Here's Don, our lively Business Manager and future electrical engineer. He is the kind of a boy that is determined to make all his undertakings successful. He will enter college next year to study electrical engineering. Lots of luck, Don. Frank Takach Shop basketball 1, 2, 45 football 4, track 4, swimming 4. Frank is a happy-go-lucky fellow without a care in the world, This is probably why he made such an excellent center on our football team last year. Charles Tillack Ring committee 3, football 1, 2, 45 shop basket- ball 4. Charles is the ONE reason why teachers get gray. He gets more enjoyment out of disturbing classes than anything else. Nevertheless, he always has his work complete and well done. l15l TORCH John Amacher Ask any of his teachers, they'll tell you how hard he makes it for them. He demands the why and what for to every statement made. This is es- pecially true in physics class. Keep it up, john, determination is the key to success. Joseph Formanaski Orchester 43 Band 43 Tech-ni-Call staff 4. Personality plus sax appeal equals the answer to a maiden's prayer. Is this why joe is such a favorite with the fairer sex? Well, we can't say exactly, but it sounds like a plausible reason, doesn't it? John Pokorski Football 1, 2, 3, 43 track lg shop basketball 43 Hi-Y club 4. It is possible that you don't know john? His cheery smile greets everyone. Did anyone ever hear john complain about his task? He is a true friend in time of need. John Waruszewski Junior-Senior prom committee 43 shop basket- ball 23 football 1. A sturdy and intelligent youth with high ideals. His excellent judgement and character puts him in a class above the average. Casimir Walczak Band 43 orchestra 43 Tech-ni-Call staff 4. Casimir is a real musician. He is a member of the band and dance orchestra. With such a start. we are sure he will be successful in the musical world. Robert Yaple Tech-ni-Call staff 4. Robert is not well known to many of us because he manages to be very quiet. However. those who can claim his friendship, are very fond of him. 161 TORCH Alois Kendziora Band 1, 2, 45 orchestra 1, 2, 45 track 3, 45 foot- ball 35 Torch staff 45 T club 45 shop basketball 35 Senior class treasurer 4. Student director of the band, varsity track man, and activities editor of the Torch. We only wish everyone will contribute as much to Tech as he did. And, Al, we'll be disappointed if you don't become one of America's prominent orchestra leaders some day. Fred Nelson Orchestra 1, 2. 3, 45 band 4. To the jolliest, happiest, mirth-making senior at Tech. Eat, drink and be merry,' is his motto. Fred is very bashful, he has absolutely nothing to do with the girls. We wonder? Anthony Szczesny Shop basketball 1, 25 shop baseball 45 junior- Senior prom committee 4. Introducing one of Tech's best students. He is a wizard in mathematics but he voices his opinion only after everyone else has failed. His personality and ability have made for him many friends who will always remember him as their brilliant class- mate. Frank Zoldak Band 45 Tech-ni-Call 4. VVe all know Frank, that cheerful and friendly fellow. He is very quiet and obligingg there isn't anything he wouldn't do for a friend. A Jack Droniield Class secretary 45 football 45 basketball 2, 35 ring committee 45 stunt night 3. One of the more humorous seniors. His wise- cracks have made him popular with his friends and teachers. Besides this, Jack is an athlete of no small ability. William Raid League basketball 4. Silence is as deep as eternity Speech as shallow as time. William is one of our more serious-minded seniors. He is well liked by his teachers and friends. I17 TORCH min. ,,, ., 'EN'wvcau,.

We wish you were entering rather than leaving school, joe. l1Sl TORCH Junior' Class History Since our entrance into Erie Technical High School, we, the junior Class of 1931, have been able to hold our own in the school activities. Musicians, athletes, artists and technical, as well as trade students are among our ranks. During our junior year in this institute, we have done all in our power to be loyal and true to our school. VVe shall continue to give our school that support which is necessary to keep up the school spirit. Vtle are passing into our fourth and last year of high school. We have our ideals firmly es- tablished and will make good use of our Senior year in an attempt to gain them. As we pass on to our Senior year, we leave a clean record behind us for sophomore students. We hope that they will uphold the name of Tech as well as we have done.

For many years our high schools ,have been offering to our young people an opportunity to prepare for business or college. Later, the two-year trade preparatory classes were added. Now, Tech is setting forth to expand the work begun in the industrial field to include a four-year technical high school course which prepares for both college and industrial occupations. There is a wide opportunity in the world's work for boys having such a training. These are the people who are to fill the wide gap between the skilled mechanic and the college trained engineer. COURSES OFFERED Four-Year Technical Course CCollege Preparatoryj. Any student having engineering aptitude, who is doubtful of being able to attend college, should enroll in the four-year college-preparatory course. The work is arranged to give the student considerable instruction in various industrial practices such as drafting, shop work, and practical science, and at the same time to give such other instruction as is required for admission to most colleges. A rather definite course of study has been outlined with a limited number of electives from which the student may select in order to meet the standards of the college he has chosen. Four-Year Technical Course CNot College-Preparatoryj. This course leads to a high school diploma, but is not a college-preparatory course. The student is allowed considerable freedom in the selection of studies, but must meet the major and minor requirements before being granted a diploma. This means that he must have at least three years' work in some subject other English and at least two years' work in a third subject. Work completed in any of the IWO-year unit trade courses may be used to apply toward this diploma. Two-Year Trade Preparatory Classes. Two-year courses are offered in automobile mechanics and gas engines, cabinetmaking and joinery, drafting practice, electrical construction, machine shop practice and tool making, patternmaking, plumbing and pipe fitting, print- ing, sheetmetal construction, and tailoring. These courses, which lead to a two-year trade preparatory certificate, are arranged primarily to fit boys for entry into the various trades. However, the work may be evaluated for regular high school credit toward graduation in the four-year technical course. A large part of the work moreover is accepted for entrance to some colleges. Any student who has decided upon going to college should make sure that the school of his choice will acknowledge these credits before enrolling in a trade course. llll TORWCH l33l ECHANICS AUTO M Instructor IQ Thomas, Charles Two-Year Trade Graduates ahon, c M M ael, Daniel ch Martin, Robert Mi James ci 'E .E as IJ Q cr In Q U - 9 5 C ev E O - .- 5' J I Q I- 3 N n-I 5 Vi o ru J i- eu 4.

F. JIQIVFIERY HEAD COACH Ii. R. AIIRAMOSKI I 38 I TORCH Uanr' Coaches and Captains Head Coach, E. R. Abramoski Coach E. R. Abramoski was appointed physical instructor at Erie Technical High School in February, 1931. He is an alumnus of Erie East High School and St. Lawrence University. During his high school career, he participated in various branches of ath- letics. Eddie played an end position on East's '24 football team. This team is considered one of the most powerful ever turned out at East. He was an out- standing track man, excelling in the shot-put and quarter-mile. Coach Abramoski has started Tech on the road to fame in the three principle sports, football, basketball, and track. We feel sure that his teams will take some city and district championships in the near future. Coach String Donovan Coach Donovan attended old Central High School where he starred on both the water polo and swimming teams. He holds several scholastic and city records in swimming. String has turned out and will turn out teams that Tech will be proud of. Assistant Coach Eichert To assist Coach Abramoski in drilling the Centaurs, Coach Eichert came to Tech as a three sports' coach. Mr. Eichert formerly coached Wesleyville High School and turned out winning class B teams for several consecutive seasons. He is a graduate of Evans City High School and Grove City College. Captain Joseph Stanopiewicz tStano3 .loe proved himself a worthy captain of our first football team. He played end and was the backbone of the team. joe not only played varsity basketball in 1931, but he was an outstanding member of the water polo and swimming teams of this season. Captain Adam Nitkiewicz fNitterj Adam was elected captain of the 1931-32 basketball team by his team- mates. His agressive guarding has been an important factor of our success this season. Adam was also a varsity guard on the 1931 football team. Captain Sam Martinucci As a result of Sam's consistent scoring on the 1931 track team, he was elected captain of the 1932 team. Sam is a flashy, little dash man and hurdler upon whom we are pinning our hopes for a successful track season. He is a varsity backfield man of the 1931 football team. Captain George Koster Because of his experience in swimming, George was elected to lead the team. He came to Tech from East High, where he gained his experience. His ability to keep cool under fire and to steady the team in difficult situations, made him a valuable leader of the team. 1391 TORCH I I-101 FOOTBALL TEAM TORCH lfooitlbfuillll ll93ll School was to open in a few weeksg the problem of forming a football team confronted Coach Abramoski. As Tech was a new school, there were no varsity men to form the foundation of this year's team. It would have to be composed entirely of new and inexper- ienced players. Coach Abramoski issued a call for candidates, and about fifty boys reported to the athletic field for training. Coach Abramoski and Ass't. Coach Eichert worked the men strenuously in order to find players to fill the various positions. After much drilling and shifting Coach Abramoski had the team that he hoped to use against our Hrst opponent, East High. Sept. 12-Tech 0 East 26 On Sept. 12, Tech encountered its Hrst opponent, East High, City Cham- pions of '30. Our plucky team held this powerful machine to 26 points. The fighting spirit of the Centaurs was the main factor of their success. Sept. 23-Tech 0 Academy 19 On Sept. 23, our team met Academy in a twilight game. Its performance in this game showed marked improvement over the previous battle, and our boys thrilled the crowd by threatening the Lion's goal several times. They held the first team scoreless for nearly half the game. This game showed the city that Tech had more than a fighting team, and it gave our future opponents something to think about. Oct. 3-Tech 2 Alliance 7 In this game Tech gave its first exhibition of offensive football. Our team out-played and out-distanced its opponents. Martin Reiter scored the first football points for Tech when he threw an Alliance man for a safety. Oct. 10-Tech 25 Union High 0 Tech's first taste of victory! Our team met Union High on their own field and sent them down for a 25 to 0 defeat. This contest was a real exhibition of sporty football on the part of Tech. Oct. 17-Tech 7 Wesleyville 0 The following week Tech maintained its winning streak. The teams were evenly matched and fought the greater part of the game to a scoreless tie. A pass intercepted by Carr gave Tech the only touchdown of the game. Oct. 24-Tech 0 Cathedral Prep. 12 One of the most disappointing games of the season. Tech fought hard but was defeated by the Ramblers. Our many attempts to score were ill-fated. Lady Luck was not with us. Nov. 7-Tech 51 Albion 0 Albion was out-classed and out-fought. They proved a poor match for our much superior team. Tech piled up its largest score of the season. This game renewed the confidence of the Centaurs. Nov. 11-Tech 26 Warren 13 On Armistice Day our team journeyed to Warren for the most thrilling game of the season. It was remarkable how our eccentric little team defeated and even humbled this powerful class A team. Nov. 20-Tech 0 Strong Vincent 27 The last game of the season was a very uninteresting one. Both teams failed to perform any sensational or thrilling plays. This defeat was the worst of the entire season. l41l TORCH l42l TEANI BASKETBALL TORCH Basketball 119311 32 Our 1931 32 basketball season has been a great success In its second year of play Tech was successful in about half of its attempts We lost most of our games to Brie high schools: Vincent, East, and Academy which undoubtedly rank imong the best in the state.

Only a few members of the team had had any previous experience. The boys eo-operated with the Coachg and when the season opened, we had a surprisingly well balanced team. Because we lost all the games in the first half, it does not mean that we had a poor team. Most of the games were lost only by one goal, and on several oeeasions an overtime period had to be played to determine the winners. VYin or lose, our boys were plueky. Losing to such teams as Academy, Vincent, and lfast by a single goal, is no disgrace to any team. l47l TORCH 0 O Junior High lBcu1sllee1tlbe1llll Our Junior High lmsketlmll season opened on Dee. 8, 1931, with Roosevelt junior High.

There were two divisions, the Green League and the VVhite League. Teams were composed of all the trade and technical groups. The games were played on Tuesday afternoons and Monday nights in the school gymnasium. Keen rivalry arose, consequently all the games were close and hard-fought. Eight games were played to determine the winner in each league. The cabinet shop team won the Green League title and the print shop won the VVhite League title. To determine the trade league championship of the school, a game was staged between the printers and cahinet-makers. The printers were the favorites in this game. The teams were so evenly matched that the winners were not determined until the last few minutes of play. Score of Championship Game Cabinet-makers 16wPrinters 15 l-191 Weorers of the NTS, TORCH Sportsmanship Of the many traits necessary for a good team, sportsmanship is the funda- mental one. A team that is not sportsmanlike, is a menace to the school it represents. The reputation of the school is determined by its team, therefore if the team is not sportsmanlike, it lowers the standard of the school. The individual player must be interestedg he must have experience, knowl- edge of the game, courage, and sportsmanship in order to be an asset to his team. Sportsmanship must be present if he wishes to develop the other qualities to the fullest extent. A sportsman is interested in a game because he loves itg he is always ready to practice and study to improve his skill. A sportsman is no coward. He will always iight hard. You may ask, What has courage to do with sportsmanship? A player may be courageous and still not be sportsman- like. He may be, yes, but such is not always the case. An ordinary player is courageous because he has a position to fulhll. To that individual, playing the game, is work, to the sportsman, it is play. Which of these individuals is the more valuable? But what is sportsmanship? Some consider it playing a game strictly ac- cording to rules and regulations. It is more than that. One who is endowed with that quality will never take any unfair advantage that chance may offer. He will not lose his head or abandon the sporting code merely because luck is against him or because his opponents play an unsportsmanlike game. The real man is never selhsh, he knows that teamwork is more important than individual playing or scoring. A selfish player is like a link missing from a chaing it renders the entire chain useless and without strength. Lastly, a sportsmanlike player will not become discouraged by defeat. He plays for the enjoyment he gets out of playing, not for the sake of piling up a score or making a letter. Sportsmanship can and should be applied to our work as well as our play. Some people are sportsmanlike in games, but they never apply that same quality to their work. Is it not just as important to be clean and fair in work as well as in play?

The members of the staff undertook the great, task of furnishing the students with reading matter concerning school activities. The result was that members of the staff gave their time freely and gained no other reward save an added knowledge of journalism. The name, Tech-ni-Call, was selected unam- imously by the students. The success of the First issue greatly encouraged the staff and resulted in the publications of three more issues.

It was well dramatized by the cast. William Steele, as Gus Enfield, portrayed the manly hero. Stanley Hewitt, our cheer leader, played the part of avillionous bank president Ccursesj! Neal Bovee im- personated a farmer, and believe it or not he acted the part splendidly Cno offense of coursel. Preston Ferrell was the well adapted to his part, he was the town loafer. Other members of the cast are as follows: William Steiner, Henry Perry, Fay Clark, Kenneth Peterson, Donald Pfeffer, Robert Bahm, Donald Shepard. l53l AM T O R C H W g gg g gv gggg g g The Yoiurmrglbttlltlh Award Mr. Edwin T. Youngbulth, machine shop teacher at Tech, has offered a cup to the boy who proves himself most valuable to Tech in the course of the year. The cup will not be awarded for scholarship aloneg the boy's activities, citizenship, courtesy, and character will.all be considered. The award is not limited to Seniors as most awards areg any boy is elegible to receive the cup. Winning this cup is one of the highest honors that can be achieved by a boy in our school. Uttar Cheer leaders Stanley Hewitt and Bill Steele, the snappiest pair of yell-jerkers in the city! They certainly can stir up school spirit at games and in assembly. They can get more noise out of a handful of boys than any other two can get out of an entire student body. The Cheer leaders have formed a miniature organization. During the year they have held two dances, both these affairs were very successful. Jti1m1iio1r' Semuior Prom The first Prom of the school was held Jan. 22, 1932 at the Y. VV. C. A. It was fairly well attended but the attendance did not reach the expectations of the committee. The Green and White Serenaders played for the occasion. Stunt Night The second annual stunt night was held soon after school got underway in September. It was a great success for it pleased everyone attending. Some of the features were Ethelene Voltz' dancing, the strong man act, and the Boys Club Tumbling Team. The Green and White Serenaders furnished the back- ground during the entire entertainment, they also played for the dance after- wards. The success ofthe undertaking was due to the efforts of Mr. J. W. Thomas. Moth Cllulb The Mathematics club of Tech has only been recently organized through the efforts of Mr. Ward. It has fifty-live members. The purpose of the club is to create a greater interest in the study of math- ematics. Mr. Ward is the faculty advisor of the club. Gollif Team Though our golf team started out without a coach to guide them, they did very well for the first year. They entered the N. W. Pennsylvania Inter-Schol- astic Golf Association and made a creditable showing against such strong teams as Academy, Vincent, East, and West Millcreek. After the boys had practiced a few weeks together, they opened the season on April 27. We finished in third place. We will have practically the same team back this year, so we are conndent our team will be successful.

Some have put out to sea in ' frail shells of boats, powered with oars, their course recorded for others through spoken word and un- certain memory. Some have shouldered llintlock and axe to wrest new breathing space for civilization from un- friendly aborigines and unwilling nature. And some explore new fields of thought, braving prejudice and tradition, fighting their ways through ignorance and fear of change. For mankind's desire is to go ever forward into the unknownftoward the eventual unknowable. The broken twig, the slash in the tree, the cairn of stones-all have served to mark the advancing step of man's progress. But they are records that must stay where they are put, while today's trails run into the intangible things of the mind's accomplishment. So the newer trails are blazed with records of paper, permanent, portable, and adaptable.
