TORCH Mr. Jeflferigfs Message to the Senior' Class To you, the Class of 1932, falls the privilege of presenting to the world the first graduates of the four year course at Technical High School. 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
