Item 1. signature and Attested : ARTICLE V. In witness of the aforesaid document we have hereunto affixed seal, as representative of the wishes of the expiring class. Pauline Rauer Signed: “Chick Vermette r dna Herbst ‘ Vi“ Gay “Innocence” Bostian our 23 PROPHECY H, EVELYN,” cried Edna Herbst, bursting into her friend’s room. “You know I took that aeroplane ride and it was just marvelous. I shall not deny I was a little frightened at first and wondered if I should ever see my friends and Senior classmates again. Things became so interesting, however, that I soon got over that scare.” “Tell me everything, how you felt, what you saw, well — just everything,” she said. “Well, the first thing I did was to ask the pilot all about the things inside the plane. He showed me a tel-u-scope and an unusual Ramble Radio. And the remarkable thing about these appliances was that they were controlled by one dial; and by turning this to the “1937” I actually saw and heard things that will be taking place 10 years from now. Of course, the thing I wanted to know most was what the Seniors of ’27 will be doing then, and believe me, I found out. All I had to do was to think of a person and there he was before my eyes ! “First, I saw Edith Vermette. She is to be the greatest decorator in the United States. Her work shown in the picture was beautiful. “Next was Opie Nimon. He was marri ed to Linda Hopp and living in Hessville. They had a large department store which covered three blocks.” “Oh, how interesting,” said Evelyn. “What did you see about Russell McArty ?” “The most surprising thing! He owned a large Beauty Shoppe in Paris, and it took most of his employees’ time marcelling his hair and mani- curing his finger nails. “I saw pictures of Mary Grove and Etta Davis on a large sign-board outside a church in New York. Over the radio came an announcement something like this — ‘The Misses Etta Davis and Mary Grove — mission- aries in Timbuktu arrived today for a three months’ leave of absence. While here they will raise money to establish a Girls’ College in Timbuktu.’ “Harry Hamby and Eugene Leu were erecting a new Technical -Voca- tional High School Building, much larger and more artistic than the one we occupy at present. “Think of this. I saw Seigfried Heintz, the world’s greatest violinist. It was announced over the ’37 Ramble Radio that he was playing for Queen Marie of Itoumania.” “Tell me about Vera Knitter.” “Well, Vera is to be the greatest movie actress in the United States. Her pictures were being shown all over the world.” “And Pauline Worley — ” “To be sure I musn’t forget her. She was no less than the Hessville City Superintendent of Schools. A very good one, too. n “Amy Livingston and Harlan Achor were married and living on a fruit ranch in Arizona. “Gibson Meyers was pictured working over a set of false teeth ; some one was in the dentist’s chair. Over the air came a ring of the telephone, then: ‘Yes, Elizabeth. I’ll be home as soon as 1 can plant these teeth in my patient’s head. Tell Junior, Mary Lou, and Betty Jane to be good. “Faun Betzner was working in some office in the Court House. In the same court house I saw Quentin Nelson seated in the Judge’s chair in the Court.” “Oh, do tell me about John Hoaster.” “John had become a preacher. He was going from town to town preaching, but had never appeared in Hammond. “Elvira Gay was a great music teacher at Northwestern University. She had won fame in this profession. “Who else is there in the class I haven’t mentioned?” “You haven’t told me anything about Richard Cavnagey,” Evelyn said. “Oh, Richard was married to a beautiful Senoiila whom he met in Spain on his trip around the world in 1936. They were living in the Hawaiin Islands; they were both instructors in a college there.” “And James Brennan?” “Oh, he was a great movie idol. His most popular play was ‘Turn to the Right.’ “Henry Kortenhoven was married and lived in a mansion at Grosse Point, near Detroit. He was a millionaire and did not have to work.” “Tell me about Goldie Bostian?” “Goldie is living in Sacramento, California, with her husband, Raymon Novarro. The last time I saw her she was riding south in her small pink Chrysler on Novarro Boulevard.” “Did you see anything about us?” Evelyn inquired. “That will be broadcasted in the next flight of the aeroplane. We shall at that time read this prophecy and see how much the stars, clouds and heavens really know.” Goldie Bostian. 25 Instructor Rosinko, Ann BagalofT, Cecilia Baranowski, Adeline Bialker, Rose Brauer, Ruth Brewington, Everil Brongel, Lottie Brundage, Goldie Carnowski.

When the new building was completed the sewing department was moved into the largest room. In addition to the main class room there is a fitting room. Most of the equipment in the sewing room is new. There are six tables with chairs to match. Each of these tables has twenty-four drawers. Every girl taking sewing is given the use of one of these drawers in which to keep her material. Miss Eastwood, the sewing instructor, has a new desk which she likes much better than her old tin desk. There is also a new bulletin board and a dress case in the main class room. On the bulletin board are posted latest modes of dress. In the dress case are hung the dresses made by the girls for the other girls to see. The sewing class is also equipped with a new electric iron and new covers for the ironing board. In the fitting room is a key cabinet, in which are kept the keys to the drawers in the tables. There is also a three-tiered mirror in this room. This mirror enables the girl who is fitting on a garment to see how the back or side of it looks. The Sewing Classes are much pleased with all this new equipment. They are still in need of some sewing machines — we all hope they get them in the near future. Pauline Rauer. 27 SEWING “Oh, Dorothy where did you get that pretty dress?” asked a chorus of girls’ voices. “I made it.” “Quit your fooling, Dorothy; I’d really like to know,” said one. “Oh, well if you think I’m joking, you ask Miss Betty Eastwood. She’ll prove it,” said Dorothy in a serious tone. “Tell us about sewing, Dorothy,” asked one of her school mates. “Well girls, you thought I didn’t know what I was doing when 1 told you I was going to take sewing this fall. Now I’ll show you that you were entirely in the wrong. Technically speaking, “statistics will prove it.” Here is a list of garments that were made in the sewing shops the first ten weeks of school : 26 Nightgowns 61 Princess slips 13 Bungalow aprons 20 Teddies and step-ins 14 Pillow slips 22 Bloomers 6 Pajamas 16 Children’s dress and rompers 73 Aprons 6 House dresses 6 Flannel and silk dresses 12 Pr. curtains 2 Shoe bags 2 Laundry bags 2 Tom-boy skirts 2 Jackets 1 Collar and cuff set 2 Dozen towels “Oh, Dorothy tell us some more. Is it very hard to learn how to sew? Does the teacher get disgusted if you don’t do things right? You know what I mean,” pleaded one. ‘All right. I’ll tell you all about it,” volunteered Dorothy, “I don’t know whether or not I can do Miss Eastwood justice, but I’ll try my best.” “Sewing isn’t hard to learn; Miss Eastwood does not get disgusted with you if you show her that you really want to learn. ’Course, if you loaf around, never doing anything worth mentioning, who wouldn’t get disgusted with you ? Really, girls, Miss Eastwood is a very good sewing teacher, and under her instructions you simply can’t help but be a dressmaker.” “The sewing class has a room all its own. It is no longer held in the cooking room. Instead of having only two different classes as they were last year there are four. This makes the classes smaller and gives the instructor a better opportunity to help her pupils. “I think I’ve told you all there is to tell, and I’m quite sure that you will agree with me that sewing is not a ‘dumb’ subject after all,” concluded Dorothy .

The aim of this department is to teach the girls how to prepare healthful, wholesome, ana appetizing meals. The classes contain sixty students, all except twelve are beginners. These first semester girls plan and cook plain meals, and learn how food should be served and a table set. One of the girls is chosen as housekeeper for a week, from each class. She buys the day s supplies for her class and keeps an account of all she spends. Just to give a general idea of what they are learning to prepare we have the fol- lowing list of dishes: Breakfast Cocoa and Chocolate Cereals Fruit Sauces Toast and variations Eggs in various ways French Toast Griddle Cakes Muffins Luncheon Dinner Cream Soups Macaroni and Cheese Spanish Rice Stuffed Potatoes Raked Omelet Mashed Carrots Buttered Beets Scalloped Cabbage Jello Meat Loaf Swiss Steak Croquettes Creamed Potatoes Candied Sweet Potatoes Salads and Dressings Pies Cakes Denver Biscuits Gwendolyn Roberts Adaskvich, Thina Baradziej, Angela Baska, Josephine Bereolas, Ruby Bobin, Julia Eidsvold, Audrian Chrapusta, Rose Dorsett, Glenna Burket, Catherine Cher, Virginia Davis, Hazel Dvawzick, Mary Brewington, Everil Cochran, Helen Dziuk, Anna Emery, Barbara Fetten, Ruth Frisk, Irene Fuller, Avis Fyda, Helen Gordon, Goldie Grzezka, Helen Hartka, Gertrude Roll — Second Semester Haskins, Mona Knoth, Muriel Kovacich, Helen Kreyscher, Emily Krueger, Minnie ' Krupa, Anna Krzyzanowski, Corrine Lesnick, Frieda Marig-a, Rose Marovich, Nora Maroc, He’en Marnya, Sophie McGella, Mary Mercon, Dorothy Merlo, Nancy Mosko, Susanna Niekolas, Harriet Oswald, Esther Plants, Lucille Pokorny, Ann Potts, Catherine Prosevicz, Stella Proeschold, Lillian Radzinski.

The work in the Art Class includes both commercial art and craft work. Com- mercial art consists of making posters, working out advertising problems and helping with the school annual. Some of the craft work consists of making lamps shades, painting scarfs and handkerchiefs, making animal toys and also gesso work. Ihrough the teaching of Miss Rydell the Art students are enjoying much popu- larity and honor from their school posters and other art work about the school. By their advertising they also have done much toward making a success of everything the school has undertaken. The purpose of this class is to train students to do commercial art work for the business world, to enable them to do craft work for their own enjoyment, and to teach them to make attractive articles for the home. A new shop and better equipment is needed in order that the Art students mav turn out better work. Vera Wolf. 32 THE FRESHMAN AND THE COMPTOMETER One day, near the beginning of school, two girls — a Freshman and a Junior — walking through the hall, passed Miss Densmore’s room. They had been talking about the different subjects they were taking when all at once the Freshman noticed something new, and exclaimed: “Good land! what are those funny box affairs in there, with keys on top?” “Why don’t you know?” answered the Junior. “Those are Comptometers.” “Comptometers, Comptometers!” repeated the Freshman. “I never heard of them before; what are they for?” The Junior looked stunned; these Freshmen are so dumb. Then she went on to explain. “They are used to multiply, add, subtract and divide.” “All on the same machine?” questioned the Freshman looking more surprised than ever. “Yes, but there is much to learn, before you can operate one.” “Where do they put the paper in — or what do they put the answer on — how can you tell what the number is?” inquired the Freshman. “We do not use paper,” exclaimed the Junior. “There is a hold at the end of each row of keys and the answer is registered there. For instance, suppose I want ed to multiply 160 by 4. I would find the key marked 4 in the row to the right; I would not push this key because we multiply from the right of a number, and the right-hand number is zero. I would move over to the next row, toward the right, still staying on the “four” key, which I would push down six times. Then I would move to the next row on the right, still staying on the “four” key and press it once. You see how accurate a Comptometer operator must be,” continued the Junior, “because it is very easy to make a mistake without realizing it.” “Do many girls take comptometry ?” asked the younger girl. “Oh yes, the comptometer classes are larger every semester. A Comptometer is a machine that can be used quickly, accurately, and economically, and operators are in great demand in large business comcerns.” ‘‘That sounds interesting,” replied the Freshman, “I guess I’ll have to try it sometime.” Etta Davis SJ View In Filing Shop Comptometer Shop FILING Instructor ..Miss Dean Albin, Harriet Arentz, Edith Baradziej, Angela Brydon, Mildred Coffman, Florence Dittrick, Anna Eidsv old, Audrien Hartman, Lucille Hoskins.

With another hard week ahead of us, we all need to do a few setting up exercises so that we w ' ill be wide- awake before the girls get here. The Transfer Cabinet, Alongside : I expect a quiet week. About all they get from me are the guides that I keep for them, and since there are no more guides than are used every day, I almost never have any on hand. You would think that with all the guides we ha d, and the forty-five sets of new ones that were bought this year, there would sometimes be a few ' not in use, but it seems the more we have the more we need. One of the Smallest Boxes: This is surely one busy place. The last real rest I had was dowm in the finishing room of the Wood Shop, just before the forty-five of us who are new ' were delivered to the Filing Department. I have held stock records, recipe files, card ledgers, real estate rental files, indexes to files of insurance policies, library indexes and some sort of Red Cross file in which the cards all had bright bits of metal called “signals” fastened to them. These signals came off and kept me worried. I heard a teacher remind the girls that those things w ' ere expensive and not to be lost. I tell you I am always relieved when I get rid of one of tho se lessons that use signals . The Bigger Boxes: You little fellow ' s have more interesting w ' ork than I do — more variety. About the only things that come to me are the school census cards and the naturalisation cards, also some employment record cards. My 4 x 6 cards seem more commonplace than your 3 x 5 s. The Payer Transfer Cases: We are the boys that have a right to complain now. We used to have an easy time; nothing to do but sit around and dream, not working more than five or six days a semester. Then the Typing Department gave the Filine classes thousands of letters left from practice work. The novelty of filing letters instead of cards appeals to the girls, with the result that we are kept on the jump. There are only five of us and you can bet that fifty-two girls keep us busy. All the Guides Together: Oh, shut up! We are the real W’orkers around here. Look at us! We never get any time off. If one set of us gets into the drawer w ' here we are supposed to be kept, we do not get comfortably laid down until w ' e hear some student demanding, “Have you a set of 3 x 5 guides that I may use?” If the set off duty happens to be a 4 x 6 or 5 by 8 , he just groans because he knows it won’t be five minutes before some one is calling him on the job again. And the few non-standard size sets (heard the instructor call us “indexes” instead of “sets of guides” the other day) get it worse even than the rest of us. They never even get back into the cabinet for they are always prom- ised ahead as soon as they can be checked off one job. We certainly are overworked. Some of us get so tired that our tabs drop off. The Cabinets: We would not mind being busy and crowded, if the girls would only close our doors. We certainly cannot look intelligent when a bunch of careless girls continually leave us gaping into space. Surely Mr. Barrows will see to it that there are three of us on this job next year — it is too much for two. The Sorting Tray: When the Wood Shop sent me up here I intended .each you folks the last word in filing; but with this room so crowded and all the equipment for keeping the lesson sheets changed I haven’t had an opportunity to do much except sit back here in the corner and hold a lot of old papers. All the Steel Signals, Map Tacks, Wire File Baskets, and the Other File Helpers: Stop talking about work and get ready to do some of it Here comes the first filing class.

The bookkeeping classes have been larger this year than ever before, but not all these girls expect to be bookkeepers. The girls who take bookkeeping fall into about three classes: (l)The girls who expect to be bookkeepers;, (2) The girls who will do clerical work, and (3.) The girls who take bookkeeping merely to round out their train- ing for secretarial, or general office positions. Pauline E.

Everybody is here but the teacher, and I wonder where she could be. She’s coming now, but the girls don’t know it; they’re still talking and laughing. It always amuses me when they scramble to their seats and assume what they think is an innocent expression, but which is really dreadfully funny. These girls don’t seem to understand how important stenography is to them because they waste such a lot of time. “One day a discouraged little Sophomore confided in me. I told her her I sympathized with her but I couldn’t help her in any way because I knew nothing about Shorthand or Typing. With a doubtful glance at my expressionless face, she mournfully drolled out this tale. “ ‘When I started to Tech as a Freshie I had Shorthand and Typing my first year. The first lesson they gave me was about some funny little marks that I thought I could never learn. Some of those letters were: t, d, m, n, k, g (gay), r, and 1. “ ‘ “N” was a horizontal line just about a quarter of an inch long; “m” was written in the same manner, but it was twice as long; “r” was just like a half circle opened towards the top, while “1” was twice as long as “r.” “K” and “g (gay)” were written like “r” and “1” only they were upside down, i. e., with the opening towards the bottom. “R” was as long as “K” and “gay” as long as “1.” ’ bottom. “R” was as long as “k ” and “gray” as long as “I.” ’ “At this point I interrupted her and told her she was making my head spin with so much information. I don’t believe she heard me for she hurried right on. “ ‘Soon I had short sentences, letters, and wordsigns. Wordsigns are words that are used a great deal and perhaps you write only one or two letters to indicate the whole word. For instance, if you want to write “Yours respectfully,” you write only “u-r.” If you want to write “information” you write only “n-f-m.” The short horizontal line which represents “n” is used as the wordsign for “in” or “not.” “ ‘The o ther day the teacher dictated some letters and told me to transcribe them in the typing class. She dictated so fast that I could write just a word here and there. I thought I could fool her, so I copied the letter from one of the other gilds. But I fooled myself, because she asked to see my notes, and I didn’t have enough words to write one complete sentence. Then she told me she was going to give me an “E” in Scholarship.’ “At that moment she started to cry and then left me to think over the things she had just told me. “After school that night the janitor took me off the wall, and put me in an old, dark closet. I stayed in there two years and then one day the janitor put me back on the wall in the same room I had been in before. “The next day I saw the little Sophomore who had told me her amusing story two years before. But, behold, she was no longer a Sophomore but the nicest Senior you ever saw. She immediately recognized me and after school was dismissed came into the room, and with enthusiasm written all over her face, came up to me and said in her droll way, ‘Good Grief! I thought I’d never see you again. I have been waiting so long to tell you that I got a “C” instead of an “E.” Right then and there I vowed that I would become a good stenographer, and I have succeeded.’ “She was almost out of the room when she turned and laughingly said, ‘You won’t hear any more doleful tales from me, because I have learned to hope for the best.’ ” Edith Vermette Miss Plummer Miss Densmore Miss Henry TYPEWRITING I Instructors Roll — First Semester Miss Rydell Miss A.

Miss Royal — a lady of uncertain years — grown old in service. Miss Smith — friend and companion of Miss Royal. Tims: — 7:45 A. M. Place: — Typing Room 105 of the Hammond Technical High School. Seven new Underwood Typewriters have just been installed anti are being greet- ed by Miss Royal, one of the oldest inhabitants. Miss Royal: — “Good Morning! So you are the new members of our family. We hope you will like it here.” Miss Underwood Nol: — “We’re glad to be here. Everything seems so strange and new. We would be very glad if you would tell us a little about Tech and her pu- pils. We just got out of the factory and this is our first stopping place.” Miss Royal: — “I can tell you plenty of interesting things about Tech. 1 have been here for so long I have lost track of the years. I might tell you about one of Tech’s first typewriters. You can get some idea then what to expect here in Tech. This is her story as it was told to me. ‘When I first came to Tech there was only one typewriter here. It was being used by the office force and then moved to the room for the students. There was always quite a bite of trouble of ther being only one machine. So, when four others like myself and I arrived, this poor old Remington was discarded. I have served until I am about pounded into eternity and now they are going to trade me for a new machine. I heard some of the teach- ers discussing it yesterday. My heart and carriage are both broken because I have to leave Tech!’ Now don’t you think that is sad? I told you that so you would understand some of Tech’s earlier history.” Miss Underwood No. 2: — “My, that is simply terrible! I hope you will never have such a fate.” Miss Royal: — “Don’t worry, I have had my share of trouble already. Just let me tell you a littlte baout myself. The other day a new girl came to this school. She is a special so only comes once a week, which is a blessing for me. As luck would have it she picked me to learn on. She didn’t place her fingers on the keys in the right position but simply picked out each one of my letters, and then Wowie! She gave me a punch. Then she would look for the next key the lesson sheet called for and gave me another punch. Ir that girl takes typing much longer I shall be punched into eternity! As it is I have never recovered from the attack of rheumatism I had that time when Tech’s roof leaked. It rained and rained on me until I am so rusty I don’t know myself. Miss Underwood No. 3: — “Dear me, Miss Royal, you have so much trouble; but surely someting nice happens once in a while.” Miss Royal: — “Oh, my yes, some nice things happen. For instance ,the other day there wasn’t any school; and I napped all afternoon. Then another time the teacher bawled a girl out and that was the berries. Here comes another of our older members, Miss Smith. Perhaps she can tell you some more news. Miss Smith, meet the Misses Underwood. They have come to Tech a while at least.” Miss Underwood No. 4: — “We are very pleased to meet you, Miss Smith. We want to get acquainted with everyone as soon as we can.” Miss Smith: — “We are glad to have you join us. I will tell you what I know about Tech. Our work in Tech is very important. Hundreds of girls have left here as expert typists and are now making high wages. Every day the girls take speed and accuracy tests to improve their typing. You have noticed the lovely little pins so many of the girls are wearing. These they received for making a certain number of words a inute with no more than five errors. I couldn’t begin to tell you all the good points about Tech but I am sure you will like it here.” Miss Underwood No. 5: — “We know we are going to like it here. Everybody’s been so nice to us already. Well I guess we will have to stop talking and get to work for the bell has rung and the gills are coming.” Faun Betzner, ■i o WOOD SHOP Instructor Albert J.

COTS FOR THE KINDERGARTNERS During the fi rst semester of this year the wood-shop boys completed 80 kinder- garten cots. These cots were distributed to different schools of Hammond for the kindergartners to use during their rest shop cooperated o n this job. They made made canvas covers which were fastened on. The cots can be folded up when not in use and take up very little space. These cots are strongly made and will last the kindergartners a long time. EXPERT WORK IN WOOD SHOP Some of the Wood Shop boys made a filing cabinet for Miss Dean. The machine period. The girls cooperated with us and the rod that goes through the center to hold the papers in and the Wood Shop made all the wood parts and essembled it. The Wood Shop boys made a garage for Mr. Barrows. This garage was made in October. While some of the boys were cutting the siding the others were putting up the frame in the General Shop. Then they tore it down and put it up per- manently at Mr. Barrow’s house. Page Two WOOD SHOP TIMES. Year 1927. For the want of a nail, the hammer was lost. For the want of the hammer the job was lost. For the want of a Job the Wood Shop was lost. KEY CABINET The Wood Shop Boys have made a key cabinet for the keys of the six new sewing tables, which were just purchased. The cabinet is built to hold 144 keys which take care of 24 keys for each table. The cabinet is made of birch wood with a light finish which matches the woodwork in the room. TECH’S TYPING TABLES Last year the wood shop made 20 typ- ing tables for the Commercial Depart- ment; but the department has grown so rapidly that this year the shop had to make 20 more. In making these tables the boys receive valuable experience for they learn to do such operations as squar- ing up stock for the legs,, laying out mort- ises in legs for rails, making the fitting drawers. These operations will prove very ’ lnful to the boys when they get a job for they will know how to do it and it will be much easier. WOOD SHOP The Wood Shop boys made models (one half usual size) of taborets and foot- stools for Mr. Benson’s drafting class. These were for the new boys who could not read blue print. They were made so as to be easily taken apart to show the exact construction of the different parts. There was some work done by the Wood Shop in the Cafeteria. Several ew sh ivo were put up to hold the large supply of canned goods. Three windows were also put on hinges so they could be swung out instead of lifting to admit fresh air. Tony Kozubal is an expert winker wher he sees a new girl. Wouldn’t think it o ' Tony, would you? Earl Moore, the Woo ' Shop shiek, is always worried for fea Tony will vamp his girl. Biill Vogel returned to school on Jam- ary 10, after having been absent 17 day- on one of his many vacations. Victor Sitnick, one of Hessville’s gal- lant heroes, was snowed in during the big storm on January 17, 18, and 19. Oscar Nack and George Fantin are our prize lathe workers. The Wood Shop has been 100% in banking for fifteen successive weeks. Bill Last, the world’s most famous drummer, claims he can earn five dollars the first hour and two dollars for every hour after. But Bill has a powerful con- science and refused such generous pay-. He’s working for Swift and Co. for two dollars a day. Victor Sitnick is in training to sub- stitute for Tony Kozubal as Mrs. Barrows’ potato carrier. PERSONALS We made twenty files during the first semester to be used in the blue print cabinets for various instructors. Mr. Zimmeramn: Fix this chair, Kenneth. Kenneth Guse: Say, Tony, what should I do with this chair? Tony: Fix it. Kenneth: Sure! but how. Tony: Take a half round square and cut the boards a little short so you can use the board-stretchers. Bill Vogel : Mr. Zimmerman, how many credits have I got? Mr. Zimmerman: Shut your eyes. Now, tell me what you see. Bill : Nothing. Mr. Zimmerman: Well, that’s exactly what you have in credits. We were listening to a talk on wasting wood. Finally- Mr Zimmeramn said: William, how did you ever save wood? Bill Last: (absent minded as usual( I killed a wood-pecker once. Marince: Say, Hill, I came near selling my- shoes today. Darrill Hill: I had them half-soled. . ' X SHOP DRAFTING Instructor F. E.

He reorganized and adopted a new course, constructed around three main objectives. The first is blueprint reading, the second is free hand shop sketch- ing, and the third is making mechanical drawings. Blueprint reading is the first and also the most important objective in the course. To be able to make free hand shop sketches and mechanical drawings the boy must first understand the relationship of views, which he learns in blueprint read- ing. Blueprint reading is like a language which he must learn before doing advanced work. That is, he must read blueprint thoroughly and understand what each line represents and what its relation is in the language. Second, he learns how to “write the language,” which consists of making free hand shop sketches of objects that are on the blueprints. Third. After he masters the reading and writing of a few words of the “language” he learns how to put these words together and make sentences and paragraphs, or real drafting. When he can read the blueprint and sketch different objects from it het puts the objects together and makes a complete drawing of some objects in such a way that others can read it. The boys read of mechanical, arch- itectural, and structural drawings, secured from local architects, manufacturing co- mpanies, and the Standard Steel Car Company. Among them are prints of bunga- lows, 13-story bank and office building, a 21-story hotel, freight cars and refrigerators. The second chief objective is to teach the boy how to express his ideas to others by free hand shop sketches. He is given yellow sheets with a part of the object drawn on them that applies to the blueprint or drawing he is reading. It is his job to com- plete the sketch as quickly as he can. In this way a boy is taught how to make free- hand shop sketches quickly and accurately. After the boy has had enough sketching he is taught how to make mechanical drawings. He is given instruments with which to make the drawings and he must be able to work accurately and speedily, which is the third objective. The drafting department is very useful to the whole school in ruling and draw- ing objects on job sheete, making tracings for other departments, making blueprints for all the shops and classes; in such special work as making cartoons, making head- ings for the Tech-Nic-Times and the Annual, and also doing some jobs in lettering and making maps. RELATED DRAFTING Related drafting is mainly blueprint reading. This is given to boys who have shops other than drafting , such as machine, wood, auto, electric, forge, and general shop. Its purpose is to teach boys to read prints applying to their shops.

They learn how to do all kinds of wiring such as conduit, and open house wiring. The wiring is all none in booths which are like rooms of houses that have no plaster or lathes. There are twenty-four of these booths, each having room for one student at a time. The boys are all equipped with plyers, 2 kinds of screw drivers, and a hammer. They have wire and everything it takes to do this kind of wiring. Various kinds of wiring are given to the boys so that they will know how to make and find circuits. Th : s shop has two classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon with an en- rollment of about 40 boys. This shop is about four years old and is now taught by Mr. Harvey Beglinger. Electric I banks one hundred per cent nearly every Tuesday. They also have good attendance.

The Electric II Shop consists of two classes of about 20 boys each. Mr. I. L. Connor has been instructor for both classes for three years. The boy who has finished Electric I is entitled to have Electric II at his next shop. When he enters Electric II he is given the fundamentals of auto electric equipment such as, cutout, circuit breakers, horns, light bulbs, switches, generators and starters. After he understands auto electric equipment he is given repair work on auto- mobiles. The shop does all kinds of electric wiring such as conduit wiring, open wir- ing, bell wiring, switch box wiring and radio wiring. The Electric shop has done quite a bit of repair work and wiring in the school and sometimes the boys have worked with the school electricians. Mr. Barrows and Mr. Connor are trying hard to start a radio section in the shop. They have been studying the radio magazines and tracing out hookups, and have ordered new radio equipment for work in the fall. Since last semester we have made a number of improvements in our shop. We have mounted Ford, Chevrolet and Oldsmobile wiring systems on large panels so that the boys may understand them more clearly. The boys did some armature winding during the semester, mostly Ford generators and small motors. We have a good battery outfit for our shop, and have succeeded in making our own direct current by putting a motor and a generator on The same shaft. The motor generator outfit will generate 220 volts. A large switch board and the switch box were installed for the motor generator set. The shop has six 220 volts motors that are in good condition. Last semester the shop completed a high voltage job in the Wood Shop. The shop also made a ring-out system which helps the boys trace out circuits. Mr. Connor has helped make the Electric Shop one of the foremost shops of Tech. The boys in the Electric Shop are always behind all the activities and athlet- ics in the school. Harold Dibbi.ee Joe Carsman HOW OUR BLUE PRINTS ARE MADE Making blueprints is part of the drafting trade which Mr. Benson teaches. His boys make all blueprints and job sheets used in the school. When an instructor has an operation sheet ready to be blue-printed he sends it to the drafting shop. Here tracings are ruled. The tracing is made in Mr. Benson’s room, typewritten in the girls’ department, then brought back to the Drafting Department and filed away until enough tracings are on hand to make it worth while to start the machine. When the blueprints come out of the machine they are in a roll. When they are cut and trimmed they are ready for use. The blue prirnt machine is a very valuable piece of machinery and great care must be taken in operating it. For that reason Mr. Benson has made Elmer Leimbach and George Leu responsible for it. It is their duty to instruct all new boys who are appointed to run the machine and turn out blueprints.

At present the shop has a fine equipment of stocks, dies, vises and a variety of pipe wrenches, including trimo, monkey, nickel plated and basin wrenches. For installation they have at present: 1 built-in bathtub. 1 deep apron sink. 1 pedestal lavatory bowl. 1 wall lavatory bowl. 1 automatic gas heater. They also have a variety of tools for lead work, including gasoline furnaces, gal- vanized piping, and fittings. They expect to purchase more equipment as needed. The boys in this shop are being especially trained for accuracy in pipe measure- ments. This shop is a great advertisement for the school, for we will soon be able to send out well-trained plumbers’ helpers. This shop is open to any entering boy if the shop isn’t already crowded, or to any other boy who is up to standard in his work. Richard Van der Tuuk 55 Instructor AUTO I A. 0.

Mr. Merrill was the instructor. He was working at that time in a garage. It took quite a little persuasion to get him to even consider the question, but the school board wanted him, and they soon had him enrolled as instructor. In that little room Auto I stayed for one and one half years. Next they moved the Auto Shop into the garage on Russell street, back of the Hotel Mee. This was called “Gasoline Alley.” Then it was moved to the DuBois building, Fayette Street and Erie tracks. It seems that Mr. Merrill and Auto I had taken the roving disease because they moved back to the Central Building in the room which is now 351. Here they practiced only theory work. Whenever the weather was fine the boys went down to the alley and worked on the more simple jobs, such as changing- tires, washing cars, fixing spark plugs, and any jobs in which it was not necessary to tear the motor down. During the time they were in 351, a room was being fixed up between the boiler house and main building. Now again Mr. Merrill became afflicted with the roving disease and moved into this new room. Here they stayed until the new building on Russell Street was finished. Again Auto I moved. This time they moved into the new building where they are now located. Mr. Merrill said that he had moved so often that he could not remember how long he has been in each place. It seems that now he is not in a large enough place. His idea of a real shop is a room as large as Auto I and Electric II, combined. Here there would be painted squares on the floor in which the different parts of the automobile would be placed. The motors would be lined along the wall with the exhaust pipe running outside so a tos do away with all the fumes. Scene in Auio II 57 AUTO II Instructor _V. B.

The large door opening into the auto shop was swung open and the boys stood gazing at what, in their language, would be a mess of bolts. It, of course, was a Ford with no tires, the motor lying in the back, the top gone and no paint. It had been do- nated to the school by some unknown friend. Well, curiosity got the best of the gang which included that lazy sod-buster, Henry Korthenhoven, and Henry Nelson, who never did a lick of work in his life. Grabbing that jolopy, they nearly threw it into the shop. Thus our year of trouble shooting started. Richard Carnagey (that little short, fat fellow), with the aid of Windy Myers, whose mouth was never shut, were put on the job. It was their duty to clean four spark plugs that would have died of old age unless immediate attention was given them. Then Tom Bubonavitch, whose vocabulary is a marvel, and who could compete with any college professor, clergyman, or doctor when it comes to conversation, was put on the job. He was pretty handy with a hammer and chisel and could wreck any- thing in his way, so he was told to remove the body. Finally Tom was appointed foreman, for he had wonderful coaching ability. It was then up to him to get “anudder” small bunch of boys to help him. He started out on a hunt for these and brought back Jim Brennan, that well known inventor who, in a plane of his own invention, was the first to cross that large body of water, otherwise known as Harrison Park Lagoon. He also brought Leo Friedman and Tony Zaboasky, the two well known Irishmen who were forever upholding the rights of dear old Ireland. That famous trio, Gilbert Jaeger, Benjamin Phillips, and George Ritter, known among radio fans for their many talks on the new hydrotinator, were the next ones found. They brought with them Louis Labas, Frank Urbanczyk, Louis Bolek, and Marius Kansfield. These were the world-known ex- plorers who are now planning a trip to the dense jungles of Africa. Last, but not least in this small group were the studios Max Skinner and Albert Peters, who are at night doing research work for Mr. Mead. Since Tom needed no more mechanics the small group set out on their given task. ( Lapse of two semesters) June 11, 1927: Today is the day the car must be turned over to the Board of Education. The boys are all very sad to see it go out of the shop. Mr. Etscheid has been taking Inter- national Correspondence courses on how to keep the boys busy because the great old Ford which has gone out of the shop to serve the Board of Education in transporta- tion from school to school. Of course we need a chauffuer and this is to be none other than John Porter; he is to take our mascot dog along as a guard. The car looks pretty good so we will appoint Harry Hawkins as footman, mechanic, general greaser, simonizer, and all around handy man. Curtain Gibson A. Meyer. r.9 MACHINE Instructor H. F.

A few of the shop teachers bought lamps. Some of the boys withdrew enough money from their school savings to surprise their parents on Christmas. There are several interesting operations in making a lamp stand which every machinist needs to know. A boy gets good practice on the drill press in making the base of the lamp. First, he must file the top of the base and make it level, and then locate the center of it. Then he drills out a hole with the large drill press. Having drilled the holes he sets the automatic feed for tapping out the hole, because it is more accurate than if done by hand. Another interesting operation is chucking the small fancy rough castings for the lamp stand. On this operation the instructor can test his pupils in speed, quality, and quantity of these castings. To make these small fancy round castings he must set the castings perfectly straight in the independent chuck, then drill a hole in the center of it by putting a drill with a tapped shark in the tail stock. When he is through drilling, it is placed on a mandril and put between centers on a lathe. Next he polishes the piece with emerycloth. The next operation is on the Milling Machine. (In catling a special cut on a long piece of pipe which is polished, it is put between centers, then the Milling Machine is set to cut the spiral cut.) Our famous painter, Siegfried Heintz, puts the finishing touches on the lamps. When completed they can almost compete with any lamp you can buy in a store. Charles Kordula. SPECIAL PROJECTS During the first part of the year the Machine Shop made belt guards for the new planer in the wood shop. These were made of half inch angle iron frame. Then it was covered with heavy wire screening, and the wire was fastened down with half inch strips. After it was finished it was strong enough to hold over a hundred pounds so we think it will last quite awhile. The School Board bought several cases of theme paper without the holes punch- ed. The Machine Shop drilled two holes and the Wood Shop cut the slot for the strings. This way the School Board could get it cheaper and the pupils could get more for their, money . Another thing the Machine Shop did to save the School Board money was to sharpen and repair scissors for the grades. Burpette Frye?.. 61 FORGE Instructor. T. M.

This year the Forge Shop, under the direction of Mr. Flack, has been training on an average of thirty Tech boys each semester for forge work. . The Forge Shop was organized in the fall of 1920 beneath the rear stairs of the old Central High School Building. There were twelve forges in the shop; added to this they had hand blowers which kept the shop filled with smoke. In the fall of 1922 the shop was moved to the basement of the Central High School Building. When the Central High School was moved from Hohman to Russell where it now stands the name was changed to Technical High School. The forge shop lost a little time on account of the moving but was started again on the 19th of November, 1924. The boys have made great progress since 1920. They have better forges and can put their work out much more quickly. They have eliminated the smoke and have plenty of room to breathe. The boys make a variety of tools for use in the other shops in school and for the use in the business world, such as, stove and furn- ace pokers, center punches, round punches, square punches, cold, wood, cape, and floor chisels, nail seth, pinch and wrecking bars, screw drivers, box openers, ice picks, forge rakes, shovel handles, and set hammer. The boys are very accurate and care- ful in their work. It is only occasionaly that the boys make serious mistakes or get hurt. . In the future the boys who are taking forge may have occasion to make tools for themselves, or they may get a job running a forge. It is the aim of the depart- ment to make everyboy who leaves Tech’s Forge Shop worthy of a forging job.

This shop covers a part of the work of every shop in the school. Mr. Powell, the instructor, gives all the assistance that he can to get the boys into the shop they like best. The boy may be transferred to the shop he chooses if he is up to standard in his work. The boys in this shop are always on hand to make repairs when anything in the building is wrong or broken. They install anything from stage curtains to pencil sharp- eners, and repair anything from desks to door latches. Anyone who needs help calls on the General Shop, for the boys are always on hand to do anything, at any time, for anybody. Richard van der Tuuk. A TRIP THROUGH GENERAL SHOP A gentleman came to visit “Tech.” As he entered the door, he was met by a boy hurrying down the stairs. The gentleman promptly stopped him and asked, “Pardon me, son, could you show me where General Shop is?” Said the chap, “This way down to the basement. I’ll point out a few things if you wish,” answered the boy. “Here to the right,” started the lad, “is the wood pile containing wood used by the boys in General Shop.” As they descended the stairs, and stopped facing General Shop, the boy pointed to the southeast corner of the shop and said, “There in the corner is a grindstone, wood chisels, and knives, sometimes used to wear down metal. “In the small room,” pointing to the tool room, “tools are kept. When taken out a check is placed on the number of the person who took them. They are returned at the end of the period and the check is withdrawn from the number. This machine with the two springs on each side is an action cutter, it is operated by the pressure of one’s foot. These benches are used by the boys who make things of wood, such as broom holders, coat and hat racks, and many other things. This boy,” pointing to Lloyd Henderson, “is making a tool tray. That large bench with the two vises on the ends is used by the boys when making things such as straight wrenches, calixcers, and other things, made from metal.” 65 FOOTBALL SQUAD Coaches R. M.

FLOYD SMITH, captain and quarter-back, has played his last high school foot- ball with Tech and hir, services will never be forgotten by the Tech students. Smithj was one of the outstanding players on the team. “He’s in the Navy now. MICHEAL GARDNER the star half-back of Tech who continually startled the crowd with long runs, will be missed next year very much. RUSSELL McCARTY, the plunging full-back who helped to put Tech on the football maps, will be missed next year as graduation closed his service. CHARLES METZCUS played at half back and was strong both on offense and defense. He will be missing from the next year’s squad. ANTHONY METZCUS, the flashy right-end, played in every game and displayed some real football. Tony will be back next year. JOHN HO ASTER, better known as “Heavy,” played two positions and was one of the best tacklers HARRY HAMBY, a smashing guard, earned the respect of his opponents by his dashing, smashing play. He has played in his last game because of graduation. SEIGFRIED HEINZ, our lanky center, who played stellar ball, was one of the main gears in the Tech machine. He will be missing because of graduation. EUGENE LEU, the big guard, who always smashed through to break up play after play, will be missed as graduation will take him. RAY BLAEMIRE, the reliable and speedy quarter, who assisted Smith very ably last year, will be back to show real speed on next year’s squad. TONY KOZITBAL played at guard. Although he had very little experience, he hit a pace that landed him on the first string. He will see service next year. TOM BUBONOVICH was always ready to take any line position and specialized at the guards and tackles. He showed real spirit and played good hard football. We hope he will be back next fall. JOHN CARSMAN, our shifty end, who although very small, played hard and earned himself the right to wear a Tech honor sweater. BERNARD FLETCHER, another of Tech’s star tacklers, will be missed after three years of good play. GEORGE NIMON, better known as “Opie”, played equally well on either end. “Opie” graduates after three years of active play. EVANS, LEI M BACH. MILLS, NELSON, PARKER, SKINNER. SHACKLE- FORD, and VAN WILLIGAN received Athletic Awards for their willing spirit of co-operation and earnestness in helping get the first team in tune. They will, with the exception of Nelson and Parker, be in school and valuable material for the fall of 1927. — Nimon and Metzcus. Review of Football Season 6 TECH.-38 vs. ROOSEVELT OF EAST CHICAGO-O.— SEPT. 18. The day of the opening game of the 1926 football season, with Roosevelt High of East Chicago was a sewltering one to both players and spectators. The game was an easy one, the final count being Tech-38 — Roosevelt-0, but it furnished valuable inform- ation to the Tech coaches concering their material. TECH. -6 vs. WHITING -0.— SEPT. 25. In what proved to be the second victory the Tech gridders found a worthy oppon- ent in the Oilers of Whiting High. Coach Hart failed to make good his threat that he would defeat both of the Hammond teams during this season; instead he lost to both. The game was well played, and the game was anyones until the Tech score late in the third quarter broke the tie, but failed to take the fight out of the Whiting team. The new Tech line proved a worthy successor of the 1925 one, and a smashing back- field encouraged the Hammond fans and maintained the confidence gained in the great Tech eleven of 1925. SCORE: Hammond Tech-6 — Whiting-0. TECH— 6 vs. CROWN POINT— 0. OCT. 2 This game was played at Crown Point on a field of clay and water. The fact that the field was slow and Tech outweighed 20 pounds to a man, made this one of hard- est contested games of the season. When the game ended, eleven mud-soaked boys whose jersey were once gold, walked off the field with a well-earned victory. The 6-0 score showed the game was a hard one. TECH.-2 vs. EAST CHICAGO -6.— OCT. 9. Washington High of East Chicago’s tie with the Michigan City made them boom as a formidoble foe. The Tech eleven rested the Saturday previous to meeting East Chicago at Turner Field and were in tip top condition. One of the largest crowds of the season turned out to watch their favorites in action in what proved to be a hectic contest. Tech lacked the punch in a chance to score early in the first quarter and East Chicago made a similar chance good in the only scoring of the first half. Score: Tech 0; East Chicago-6. The Hammond boys showed renewed spirit in the last half, the first part of which proved to be a punting duel, with McArty of Tech holding his own. In the last quarter on a false “fair catch” and a fumbie by the East Chicago safety man, Nimon of Tech scored a touchdown only to have Referee Kinzel, who had apparently been lost in a trance on the play, called the ball back, and gave it to the opponents on their forty yard line. Although beaten by a 6-2 score, the Hammond Tech boys gave East Chicago a battle that they will never forget. TECH.— 12 vs. RENSSALEAIt— 0. OCT. 23. The Rennselaer game came in the wake of two hard struggles, found a Tech badly butchered by injuries and ineligibilities. Captain Floyd Smith and Bernard Flet- cher were out of the game and were sorely missed. The revamped Hammond eleven managed to hold Rennselaer to a 12-0 score. TECH— 12 vs. THORNTON FRACTIONAL— 0. OCT. 30 In the mid-week game Tech played very loosely to win from Thorton Fraction of Calumet City by two touchdowns. Many second team men broke into the Tech line- up. TECH— 28 vs. LOWELL— 2. NOV. 6 Coming out of a two week slump and playing the first real footgall since the Crown Point game the Tech eleven gave Lowell a sound drubbing on Lowell’s home field. HAMMOND TECH— 0 vs. HAMMOND HIGH— 0. NOV. 26 The day for the annual city championship struggle, between Hammond Tech and Hammond High loomed cold and dreary, and the field of contest had a glittering coat of ice. However a large crowd of expectant fans bedecked the windows of the Ham- mond High Building, while others brought blankets and furs, in their earnest desire to watch their favorites in action. Attempts on the part of both teams failed, and with the final whistle, two tired but not disappointed teams, moped to the showers. Both had played well, each had made a desperate struggle against an expectant foe, as well as the elements, and all were satisfied. — Nimon and Metzcus. 68 CAMP BETZ TRAINING CAMP Last summer fifteen boys attended football camp for a period of ten days in order to get in good physical condition for the fall football season. In addition to giving training the camp helps the boys to gain weight through hikes, calisthenics, lots of good food, good swimming, long swimming hours, and a steady routine. Football work was given over to signal and skull practicing, tackling the dummy, blocking, recovering ball and throwing anti receiving passes. The ozone there was embracing, and inspired a person to step out and do things. There were plenty of woods surrounding the camp, isolating us from the world and making the camp ours to enjoy without too much publicity. The camp is situated on a tract of high land whose old name was “Cedar Ridge.” It is now Camp Frank S. Betz. Everything here was spick and span, even a hospital where small cuts and bruises are treated. The colored cook, whose name is Sam Jones, cooked for the boys in a large mess hall. He was noted for giving better food than we could buv in any restaurant. Anyway it tasted better. This was the usual camp routine: Reveille, followed by a dip. Breakfast. Work around camp, called “detail.” Leisure time. Football practice. Leisure time. Dinner. Leisure time. Football practice. Swimming. Leisure time. Supper. Leisure time.

When each session opens the coaches begin work with lots of anxious boys, would-be football heroes, with their great ambitions to thrill the crowds. The first thing the coaches must do is to find the right boys for all positions. To make this possible, a summer training camp is provided for the boys at Camp Betz, Berrien Springs, Michigan, where 15 boys from Tech High spent ten days last summer. Although the camp life was enjoyed by all the boys they certainly were glad to get back home and start the football season on their home grounds. The Technical boys have gone through the season with only two defeats which is considered a very good record for the fe wyears in which Tech has played football. The prospects for the coming year seem very good. With four regulars, com- plete line of subs and the coming of the new boys Tech hopes to keep a clean slate in the coming football season of 1927.

BASKETBALL PROSPECTS FOR 1927-28 Although several prominent cage men such as Quentin Nelson, George Nimon, anil John Carsman are among the graduating seniors, many likely prospects are returning to school next year, with which Coach Snyder may work to give Tech a winning basketball team. Washington gymnasium, equipped with showers and lockers, has been promised by Mr. Caldwell for next fall. This will give the hours of practice that are necessary, as well as letting us play half of our games in our home court. A full first team scheduled with some of the stronger teams in this section, supplemented by as many second-team games as possible, is planned by those in charge. All candidates not playing football will be called out for work on fundamentals of the game about November first. Everett Phelps will act as the student basketball manager for 1927-28. J. H. Snyder WHAT A GYM WOULD DO FOR TECH We Tech students were used to physical culture while we were in grade schools. We expected and thoroughly enjoyed the games and exercises given us twice a week by competent physical education instructors. Our bodies felt refreshed; our minds clearer; we felt more like working. Competitive games were taught to kindle the sparks of enthusiasm that Americans have for such activity. After finishing the grade schools those of us that chose Tech look with jealous eyes on the possibilities and diversion from regular school work afforded other boys and girls of our ages in being allowed to enjoy good gymnasiums and swimming pools. Our seven hundred students badly need, and greatly miss, the two to four hours of physical recreation that might be given to the development of our bodies and minds. Our only sport at the present comes at a time of the year when we would be out of doors a great deal anyway and not during the winter months when Mother Nature calls for artificial menas to provide for physical develop- ment. We that are graduating, can only look back and think what we might have done, and the enjoyment that we might have had, had Tech had a gymnasium. Our only hope is that our dreams will soon be fully realized in a building at which Tech alumni, as well as Tech students, may ook with pride. Seniors BASKETBALL IN TECH 1926-27 Due to the fact that Tech had no gymnasium available to furnish sufficient time for the drilling and training of a team to compete with other high school teams on an equal basis, no interscholastic basketball was attempted for the lear 1926-27. Never in the history of the school had such promising material for a successful team been in evidence, only to be wasted because of the lack of what Tech needs most, a well-equipped gymnasium. A large squad of likely prospects answered Coach Snyder’s call early in the season and were making rapid strides of progress when their hours of practice were cut so short that it was deemed advisable to cancel the games with other schools and confine the activity in this sport to games between teams within our own school. At tms time the squad divided themselves into two groups which were called the Tech Hi-Y and the Tech All-Stars. Regular practice nights were set, and a large number of boys interested turned out. Those who came out regularly derived a great deal of benefit from the practice at handling the ball, shooting, passing, and dribbling as well as from the showers taken at the end of the scrimmages. About every two weeks the select teams from these squads put on exhibition games at the Lafayette Gym, Coach Snyder officiating, and invited the entire Tech student body. These games proved interesting to the spectators as well as valuable to the boys participating. Toward the close of the basketball season the games were discontinued as many of the players were members of other teams, and both Lafayette and Columbia Schools needed the gymnasium to get ready for the grade school tournament.

Last year one could go into almost any room in the school and see at least one girl with her head on the desk, or a boy whohadbeenhurt in shop, and there was no one to care for them. They either had to go home and miss a day’s schooling because of some small injury, or stay in school with no care at all. Something was needed very badly, and this year we have that particular something — A Health Department in charge of Miss Faye Nixon. As school nurse, Miss Nixon is trying to bring the health problem of the school before the parents, teachers and the students themselves. Her aim is to get every stud- ent interested in his health, and to show him how to get good health. He must be made to realize the importance of health from a financial standpoint, if nothing else. The boy below par physically very seldom makes a strong healthy man unless he is taught how to seek health. We all know that the man who works with his hands, the day laborer, even the skilled worker, depends on his health more than any other worker. If through wrong habits of eating he has chronic indigestion ; if through abuse of his eyes, frequent head- aches; if because of decayed teeth, he becomes crippled with rheumatism, his earning power is considerably lessened. Aside from doing all of this, Miss Nixon also finds time to give class talks on health, weight and measure the underweights regularly, give medicine under doctors’ orders, take patients to clinics and make appointments with doctors and dentists for the pupils. If the pupils in school have headaches, tired spells, dizziness and other minor ailments, they are allowed to go to the rest room off of Miss Nixon’s office. In this way they soon feel better and may return to their classes, missing only an hour or so of school. During the month of March 1089 ailments were: Surgical dressings 219 Colds 195 Tonsilitis 58 Eye trouble 51 Dental cases 55 Will these boys, if allowed to go on without health teaching and wihtout having the defects corrected be apt to be strong, healthy fellows who can stand up to the strain of industrial work? Will the girls make efficient stenographers or later good housewives or mothers? A very small percentage will finally learn the way to good health through hotter experi- ence. A arger percentage will repeat the tragedy of their parents. They will be old folks at 48 and 50, dependent on their children for support. Note: We wish to thank the Class of 1926 for the furnishing of the three rooms of the Health Department. The faculty and student body appreciate this gift more than they can express. ’ Faun Betzner pupils reported for nursing care.

The main problem seems to be the division of the members into a proper instru- mentation to play orchestra music correctly. This will be accomplished through the cooperation of the members and weeks of work and practice. Mr. Hovey, the conductoi, is working very hard to help build an orchestra for Tech. . They practice two evenings each week from 7:00 to 8:30 o clock. During this time they practice different kinds of selections, and the evenings are made very inter- esting with talks by Mr. Hovey about music and instruments. Next semester will find them ready and eager to play when their services are needed. The following are Ervin Leimbach John Samborski William Lenz Lucien Langer James Varner Howard Balsley members of the Tech High Mike Lecyk Louis Bag;amary Dwyer Sailor Walter Radun Russell Duncan Richard Dibblee Orchestra : Roy Burch Stanley Wojcik Charles Macenski Charles La Barre William Last Evelyn Schroeder CHORUS In February Tech started its chorus under the supervision of Miss Gregory. Every girl in the school is in this chorus, which is divided into five groups, theA, B, C, D, and E. Of all the group, A is the most important. This group consists of a- bout fifty girls. These girls were chosen for this group because of their good vioces, high standard of work and their interest in music. The other students were divided into groups averaging about seventy each. The A group will entertain as a Glee Club after it is better organized and trained. Much patience is required to undertake the work Miss Gregory has agreed upon. If this attempt turns out sucessfully we hope to continue it through the school years. „ — Edna Herbst. 79 HI-Y CLUB Top row, left to right: Russell McArty, Gibson Meyers, Arthur Evans, Aubyrne Harri- son, Harold Johnson, George Carstensen Middle row, left to right: Charles Kordula, Joe Careman, Verle Richter, Charles Metzcus, Harry Argus, Mr. Kiekheafer Seated, left to right: Seigfried Heintz, Quentin Nelson, Dan Parker, Max Skinner, John Carsman BE A BOOSTER FOR YOUR SCHOOL If you think your school the best, Tell ’em so!

SYNOPSIS Circumstantial evidence sent Joe Bascom to Sing-Sing for one year. His mother and sister know nothing of this prison term. They think he has been in business in New York. On coming home Joe finds that his mother and sister are a- bout to be put off their peach farm because of an over-due bill $125 which they owe the village Shylock, who takes advantage of their helpessness. Joe poses as a business man to whom this amount is nothing. In reality he is the owner of exactly $3.65. The plot becomes more complicated when Muggs and Gilly, two men whom Joe met in Sing-Sing, arrive at Joe’s home. How Joe, Muggs and Gilly manage to sell the peaches, pay the bill and expose the crook who sent Joe to prison makes a very amusing comedy. — Pauline Rauer. 82 rsvi ■ JTv jm f- Mi i I j 1 I rjvi Twj, Li. . 1 1 a ■ 11 1st Row: — Top, reading from left to right, George Leu, Arthur Evans, Charles Walker, William Pawski, Malcolm Garner. 2nd Row: — Francis Lutes, Earl Whitmer, John Carsman, Walter Trjeciak, Steve Rakoczy. 3rd Row: — Rebecca Greenberg, Ethel Hopp, Goldie Gordon, Juanita Powell, Vivian Skellinger, Goldie Bostian. 4th Row: — Miss Kaske, Ruth Koester, Elsie Rosenau, Ruth Davis, Pauline Rauer. THE TECH-NIC TIMES The TNTor Tech-Nic Times was established in 1925. It was put out by the Junior class in ’26 ’27. There was a reporter from each home room class who wrote up all the news in that class each week. This material was collected by one of the staff officers every Wednesday morning and was inspected and corrected by the English Classes. The paper consisted of a mimographed sheet of one page, and was given out free of charge once a week. Several issues were double size, when there were too many important events to be contained in a regular edition. The whole school has cooperated and has done splendid work toward the paper. We hope that in the near future they can put out a REAL paper, consisting of about ten pages.

Judge Crites had charge of the formalities and Mr. Grcenv ald ga.vo them the examination, Many funny answers were given, since some of the people could not understand English. Judge Crites said to a, Polishrnan applying for his papers, Lid you vote at the last election? Yes, sir. Well, what do you want your papers for? So I can go back to Poland.

(Bessie Stoltz) CAMPAIGN A REAL SUCCESS It vri.ll be of interest to the stu- dents and faculty to know that Tech overstepped its bounds and more than made the goal in the Flood Relief Cam- paign. Our aim. was 60.00 and v c nrdc an even p ' 62.00. An article was sent into the Times Thursday, and the money turned over to Mr. Ba.rrows until a definite plan can be made as to its disposal. Sovora.1 suggested that it be sent to a broadcasting station and as this idea was looked upon with favor it may be carried into effect. 7e want to thank all of the students for their co-operation and interest in this matter. (Gwendolyn Roberts) ( Jo.m.cs Varner) THRU TO TIE; BIGHT That name sou rid? awfully good, doesn ' t it? ’.Veil, the rrmo, the play and players arc all good and they arc going to to right hero at Tech High on Juno 3, 1907 at 8 P. M. to show just how good they really are. The test part of it all is the fact that the tickets only cost forty cents and that everyone who 3 cl Is ton or mere gets one free. Let ' s all of us do our hit to help it along. James Brennan takes the part of our hero, Joe Bascom, who leaves the penitentiary only to fall into tlie clutches of matrimony.

Maybe ycu have noticed the guilty look on Gibson ' s face. Quentin He Is on takes the part of Sarn, a prosperous country lad, and amuses everyone with his funny ways. Richard Oarnegey is Mr. Calahaa, a plain clothes man who causes end clears up a lot of trouble. Faun Betznor takes the part of Isadora, an old Jewish Pawnshop Keeper and seems to like it.

We get the best of things to eat Including potatoes, slaw and meat. Ice cream and milk or maybe candy Can be bought if we’ve a nickel handy. The cost at twenty cents is cheap For eats that certainly are a treat. Esther Campbell. Jaeger’s not a bad old scout — Some think he’s kind of dizzie.

She preventeth my getting the 4 o’clock bus home. She tireth my soul; she leadeth me to distractions with her test questions. She shaketh my resolution to get a whole credit. She leadeth me to make a fool of myself before my class-mates. Yea, tho’ I burneth my light until my mother howleth, I fear much evil; for she is against me. Her lessons, her tests, her scoldings frighteneth my wits from me. She assigneth me extra work as a punishment in the presence of mine enemies; she covereth my papers with blue pencil marks and my corrections filleth a whole sheet. Surely, lessons, teets, and themes will follow me all the rest of my High School career; and I will dwell in the bug-house forever.

DARWINISM Don’t be discouraged, poor little fly, You’ll be a chipmunk by and by And, years after, I can see, You’ll be a full grown chimpanzee.

What is your coat made of?” Haran Achor (Sullenly): “Father’s old pants.” If you think our jokes are pointless Or few and far between Or all about the Freshmen (Who are so very green,) Suppose you take your pen in hand And make your fingers wiggle, And see if something you can write To make our faces giggle. “SOME DOOR” There is in school a wooden door That’s getting to be more than a bore; It’s ten times worse than all the rest And certainly is an awful pest. When anyone goes out or in That door it makes an awful din The girls all feel like using slang, When they hear that door go bang! bang! bang! And the girls who sit round and about Are almost always frozen out; It’s a mystery to me why they don’t fix That bothersome door in 106. — Agnes Rush. 87 SIS AND GRADUATION Sis is going to graduate; Mother works till awful late Got a lot of women, too. Guess they never will get through; Jee-min-ee! when they all come How that old machine does hum ; Every woman sits ana sews, Making graduation clothes. Sis is going to graduate; Things are in an awful state. Clothes are piled up six feet deep Ain’t no place to eat nor sleep; Things is lying on the chairs, Tables, beds, and every wheres. Every place a fellow goes Has to keep away from clothes. Sis is going to graduate; She’s a shopping at a fearful rate Buying hats and gloves and lace , And powder and rouge to paint her face. Never gets to school no more Graduation’s such a bore. Keeps her busy making bows For her graauation clothes. Sis is going to graduate; Gee! it must be something great. Relations will all be here, Coming in from far and near Pushing in and running out. Can’t find what it’s all about But from what I see, I s’pose Graduation just means clothes. Mae Bostian HOW TO JUDGE AN AUTOMOBILE Ask the salesman. Twist the right front door handle. Look at the instruments on the dash. Kick the left rear tire. Bend down and look at the floor beneath the car. Poke a finger into the upholstery. Place right foot on front bumper and push gently. Light a cigar. Ignore your wife’s suggestions. Step back 10 feet, close the left eye, and get the ensemble effect. Ask the salesman again. — Judge.

The Home of the Vitaphone” T HE progress of the art of the movies is so swift that if you were to leave this planet for one season, and then visit, say, the State, you would exclaim : “Why, this new art makes as much progress in ninety days as other arts have in ninety years !” The arts of painting, music and sculpture took centuries to develop. Sometimes many years would pass in between one work of importance and the next. The motion picture is a fus- ing of several old arts with several new ones, and its power to please and thrill millions is in proportion. Amid a raking fire of criti- cism from every angle — intel- lectual, moral, commercial — it has accomplished its early growth with tropical energy. And in so brief a period! — anybody over twenty-one can remember the time when there was hardly a worth while pic- ture to be seen or a comfort- able theater in which to see it! But now you see Super- Photo Plays — The Vitaphone — Mammoth Stage Spectacles, Organ Festivities and Sym- phonic Orchestras. New and splendid triumphs of dramatic voltage are visible. Remember only the pictures of the past that caused you to live more vividly— the principles of their pro- duction have been developed hand over fist in these pictures of this greater season. You see them at their best at the State — prove it by going. H-!- . Yb, -• V - A THE STATE IS GREAT!
