SENIOR CLASS OF 1928 .... (Seal) Nineteen Twenty Twenty-one SENIOR PROPHECY M R. F. E. BENSON, adviser of the Senior Class of the Technical High School, was pleasantly surprised to receive a cablegram on April 1, 1928, announcing that his Uncle Bim, who lived in Australia for several years, had left him a legacy of forty-five cents. Benson pondered deeply on the matter of investing this huge sum of money. At last he decided that instead of investing the money in Munster Real Estate as Miss Kaske suggested, he would satisfy his curiosity as to his own future, and the future of the forty-four members of the Tech class. A class meeting was called, and at midnight, Friday, April 13, the entire Senior Class, led by Mr. Benson, gathered around a penny fortune telling machine; not a word was spoken, as one by one the Seniors dropped in the precious pennies. Here are the fortunes each received: MAXINE BARNHART — Before you lies great success as a designer of men’s cloth- ing.

ACT II: 9:30 Next Sunday Morning. ACT III: Four Hours Later. SYNOPSIS The entire action of the play takes place in the parlor of the Hellers. Joe Heller is a street-car inspector on $42.50 a week. Louise is his eldest daughter, an office-worker, now aged twenty-one, who hasn’t managed to land a husband. Her father’s ambition is to get his son, Willie, to work, while her mother’s one anxiety is to get Louise properly married. Unknown to her family Louise is secretly engaged to Charles Grant, a young bank clerk. When Charles calls at the house Mrs. Heller determines to take a hand. In her efforts to get Louise engaged to Grant she creates such confusion for 1 the young people that the engagement is broken. Just when things are darkest, Pa Heller takes a hand and they all lived more or less happily ever after. Twenty-five � . Txventy-six r TbJ?G Girls’ Shops All work at Tech is strictly vocational. The girls spend one-half day in shop and one-half day is given to the related academic subjects. In general the shops fall into two main classes; those that prepare for commercial, or office positions, and those that give home training. One new shop has been added this year, the cafeteria work has been organized and placed on a shop basis by Mrs. Barrows and has proved a very popular shop. Tech girls may now choose from the following shops: shorthand, typewriting, comptometer, filing, bookkeeping, sewing, cooking and cafeteria. As nearly as possible all shops are run on a strictly production basis. As soon as a girl in any commercial shop shows ability, she is given special work in one of the school offices, this in- cludes and stenographic or general work that may arise in Miss Landon’s, Mr. Barrow’s of Mr. Caldwell’s office. All lesson sheets used in the school are produced in the typing shops. Many of our advanced girls have held part time positions in various schools and business offices in the city. The sewing shops have been very popular and excellent work has been done by the girls. They have made smocks, dresses and have done mending not only for themselves, but for the family and instructors. In March the sewing department made forty band capes of brown lined with gold. Great improvement has been made in the cooking department this year. The work has been totally reorganized and much of it placed upon a production basis. The beginning girls work on breakfast, lunch box and invalid tray projects. The advanced girls work on the dinner project and fill the orders received by the cooking classes. A new electric washing machine has been installed in the cooking room and the girls have learned to do laundry work. No addition has been made to the commercial shops this year, but there have been several changes. The comptometer and filing classes are much heavier than they have ever been before. The comptometer classes have been moved to Room 208, the filing classes to Room 151 where they have a store room attached. The bookkeep- ing shop has moved into the library in the new building. Tech girls realize that they are fortunate to be able to secure the training that Tech gives, and we know that every girl, either in school, or on the job, is proud to say, “I come from Tech.” Twenty-seven COMPTOMETER R. 1 : — Marguerite Bonar, Rebecca Greenberg, Iretha Nelson, Esther Campbell, Elizabeth Eaton, Hellen Hatten, Lucille Henderson, Evelyn Cummings, Hazel Carlson.

Of what we did and what we loved And all our favorite ways; Of when and where we met And all the precious things That made our school days seem to pass On swift and radiant wings. Thirty-six ' TdJjg Boys’ Shops Our school is not one which prepare s you for college but puts you in shape to go to work. It was founded mainly for boys and girls who e.xp ct to make their way through life after they are out of high school. We have not the equipment with which to train experts but we learn the meaning of work. All work in the Boys’ Department is strictly vocational — no subject is taught that does not have a direct bearing on training a boy for a trade. The shop work offered in Tech prepares boys for the leaning industries of the Calumet District. After a boy has selected the trade he wishes to follow he. immediaely enters the shop that will prepare him for that trade. In case he has not selected a trade ho is permitted to work in several different shops and then selects the one he prefers. The boys are taught to be mechanics, electricians, carpenters, forgers and draftsmen. You cannot receive the training in any other school that you get at Tech so chejaply. We have a fine set of teachers who know how to train workers and a director who cannot be beaten. Our school is set up as an example of how to run schools all over the country. In a few- more years “Tech” will be the most talked of school that ever had a corner stone.

Forty- four A T H L E T I C S Acknowledgment To our coaches, R. M. Wilson and J. H. Snyder, this Athletic Section of THE CHART is gratefully dedicated. The faculty and student body are proud of the records our football and basketball teams have made during the past year, and are looking forward to a more successful year next year than the school has ever had. This success has been due entirely to the efforts of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Snyder who have worked untiringly for three years to de- velop teams that are a credit to our school. We congratu- late them, not only on the victories their teams have won, but on the high standards of sportsmanship those teams have displayed at all times — often under the most trying conditions. Mr. Wilson is a graduate of the State Normal School at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he established an enviable record in football, basketball and baseball. Mr. Snyder is a graduate of the Eastern Illinios State Teachers College of Charleston, Illinois. He was a major letter man in football, basketball and baseball.

Pullman Tech Hammond Open Hammond High Hammond Forty-seven TIIE GAMES AS PLAYED TECH 6, WHITING 33 Tech opened the season by playing Whiting at Whiting. It was a fast, clean game with Tully starring for Whiting and Blaemire for Tech. Blaemire made the spectacular play of the game when he recovered a fumble on Tech’s ten yard line and went through the Whiting eleven for a touchdown. TECH 2, ROOSEVELT 44 Owing to the fact that several of the Tech men were unable to play because of injuries, the Brown and Gold squad was chiefly made up of second string men.. Our boys kept their fighting spirit up to the last minute and succeeded in getting the ball on Roosevelt’s ten yard line when the whistle ended the game. TECH ,13, EAST CHICAGO 56 Tech met the Washington gridmen at the time the Senators were at the peak of success. Davis of the Brown and Gold squad took the ball on a kick-off and ran the entire length of the field for a touchdown. It was a snappy game throughout with clean playing by both teams. TECH 0, HORACE MANN 15 The Tech line was greatly strengthened when they met Horace Mann at Gleason Field in Gary. Though Horace Mann continually substituted fresh play- ers the Brown and Gold held them to 15 points. Tom Bubonovich, our stellar line- man, played the outstanding football of the game. TECH 6, CROWN POINT 7 Tech lost to Crown Point 7 to 6. Blaemire and Metzcus starred for Tech while Root did the outstanding playing for the County Seaters. It was anybody’s game up to the final whistle and our line-up showed excellent spirit and good team-work. TECH 18, LOWELL 0 The Brown and Golds marked up their first victory against Lowell at Turner Field. Most of the game was played near the Lowell goal and the Brown and Gold second team was sent in during the last quarter. Everett Phelps, Metzcus and the Blaemire brothers starred in the game. TECH 18, PULLMAN TECH 0 The brilliant performance of the whole backfield and the line play enabled the Tech squad to beat Pullman 18 to 0. An avalanche of passes, end runs and line plunges by the Brown and Gold warriors accounted for the touchdowns. Payton and Davis scored the points for Tech. TECH 0, HAMMOND HIGH 25 Tech’s final game was against Hammond High for the annual city champion- ship. Though out-weighed by the Purple and White Wildcats, our boys fought val- iantly and displayed excellent teamwork. Blaemire, Metzcus and Davis starred for Tech while the playing of Hamacher and the Thornton brothers accounted for the Hammond High points. Forty-eight Forty-nine WHO’S WHO IN FOOTBALL Anthony Metzcus, captain, played half-back and end. His games were fast ami JSMAxr n to lo ” hb ‘• mpcr ° n th ' ' id - we wi i«s fax, very fortunate to have him back next year. regio n, i ech is Byford Davis made the first team in his Freshman year.

Everett graduates this year. Verle Richter held down the position of left-end in every game. He was a good fast player, and was strong on both offense and defense. Verle will graduate this year. Walter Kozubal was another Freshman that landed on the first string. He played either tackle or guard and will be on next year’s team. Frank Ebler played guard and was a valuable relief man. Frank has plaved his last game with the Brown and Gold as he graduates this year. Albert Payton played right-end and showed remarkable ability at recovering passes. A1 wil be back with us next year. William Ratter played at left-tackle and was one of our regular linemen. Bill was a good, steady tackle and could be depended on to throw his best into everv game. Max Skinner, as center, played in every minute of every game. Tech loses a valuable player through his graduation. Clarence Larson played left-guard and was one of the best linemen on the team. Clarence will be back next year. The second team was composed of Friedman, Carsman, O’Conner, Shackle- ford, Reed, O. Phelps, Pawski, Vogel, and Matovina. With the exception of Shackleford, Phelps, and Friedman, these men will be back next year to turn to good account the experience gained during the past season. CAMP BETZ The boys who have attended the annual football camp vote it the pleasantest and most profitable event of the year. This camp was made possible by Mr. F. B. Betz, who donated the beautiful camp site on the shores of Lake Chapin, near Berrien Springs, Michigan. This year Tech High was represented by nineteen gridmen and coaches Wilson and Snyder. After two weeks of football practice, swimming and general camp life, the boys came back in fine shape for the football season. Fifty BASKETBALL 1927-1928 Basketball as a major sport in the Technical High School took on a vigorous aspect in November, 1927, when about fifty candidates answered Coach J. H. Snyder’s call. The squad was immediately divided, the regular squad candidates being assign- ed to Washington Gymnasium and most of the Freshmen to the Lafayette Gym under Coach Cunningham. For the first few weeks Coach Snyder put his candidates at Washington Gym through the preliminary fundamentals of the game, basket shooting, passing, dribbl- ing and pivoting. The work-outs gradually developed into offensive and defensive play, and later into smooth passing and teamwork in readiness for the first game. Mr. Caldwell gave his 0. K. for complete new uniforms and also permission for the plumbing class to install showers at Washington Gym. Lockers were moved to the Gym from the Tech buiding and the equipment for the year was complete. The squad soon divided itself into a first and second team group, and when the first game of the schedule loomed ahead two scrappy aggregations were ready to earn the title “Tech Tigers.” Both teams emerged victorious from their first tilt with Calumet Township and both went down in defeat to the powerful Chesterton teams, but not a Tiger lost spirit. Our identity as a member of the Northwestern Indiana High School Athletic Conference was established early in the basketball season, increasing the attendance at our games and making competition more keen. Besides Hammond Tech, Hobart, Crown Point, Chesterton, Lowell and Roosevelt of East Chicago became members of the conference, in which the Hammond Tech Tigers loom as leaders in football and basketball next year. The Tech rooters were loyal backers of the team throughout the season and a large crowd made the trip to every out-of-town game. As the season progressed the teams improved and never failed to keep pace with their larger, older and more experienced competitors. They furnished many thrills for their admirers, of which they had many, even among the opposing rooters. Their plucky spirit won for them from Conference Commissioner Olson the title “a well balanced basketball team”, and for Rae Blaemire a forward berth on the All Conference Team. As good sportsmen the Tigers of the 1927-28 season have maintained a standard admired by their competit- ors and friends. The Tigers drew Hobart in the sectional tourney and were honorably defeated in a fracas that “threw a scare” into the Hobart camp, although Tech emerged the loser. They gave all they had and the spectators will remember them as a clean-cut, scrappy aggregation. Here’s to a Conference Basketball Championship in 1928-29. Beat ’em, Tigers, beat ’em! Fifty-one FIRST TEAM tP ' o : — If ft i° fisht— Warren Kincaid. Joe Carsman, Ola Larson— Captain, Georpre Melat, Mike Hollick. K. 2 : Mr. Snyder Coach, Anthony Metzcus, Rae Blaemire, Joe Bodnar, Metro Bindas, Clarence Clark— Student Manager. WHO’S WHO IN BASKETBALL Captain Ola Larson was regular man at the pivot position. He was a fast clean player and could be depended on to fight to the last gun. Kae Blaemire was high point man and a vital factor to the team’s success. Rae played forward and floor guard and was picked as all conference forward bv Com- missioner Olson. Rae will not be back next year. Mike Hollick played right forward and was one of the most consistent players u- .combined good head work and grit with fast foot work and flash- ed his diminutive size to extreme advantage against larger men. Warren Kincaid played forward at the first of the season and was later shifted to guard. In this position his playing was very commendable and his accurate passing was a big factor in our fast breaking offence. George Melat accounted himself very favorably at left-forward. He had a Kood eye for baskets and ran Baemire a close second for high point man. George will be back next year. Metro Bindas come out late in the season but was one of the eight men that made the trip to the tournament. Metro has a good chance to be a first team forward or center next year. .f, oe , Bognar learned the game rapidly and developed an accurate long shot. Joe will be on the squad next year. Lee James relieved Larson at center and played a good scrappy game. Lee will not be back next year. Anthony Metzcus played back guard and excelled in taking rebounds from the board and passing the ball out of danger. Tony graduated at the end of the first semester., Joe Carsman was a reserve but showed up very well when he played. With more experience Joe will be a valuable player on next year’s team.

Rehearsals were held three tims a week, alternating with orchestra practice which was held twice a week, in the afternoon after school. Because of increased interest in band work and the approach of contests in which Tech band was to take part, orchestra practice was temporarily suspended, and all of the time was devoted to working out contest numbers which were very difficult for a band organized but a few months. Tech was not eligible for the Lake County Contest, but to gain experience, the band prepared the contest numbers and appeared while the judges made their decisions. The audience seemed very well pleased at the progress the band had made in sixth months, and complimented the organization both on its playing and appear- ance. (It should be stated that the sewing department deserves much credit for the appearance of the band as they made the attractive brown and gold capes which commanded a great deal of attention.) On April 27, the band journeyed to Elkart, Indiana, to take part in the North- ern Indiana Band Contest. Every one of the thirty-one members of Tech’s first band and the director and two chaperons as well, felt well repaid when Tech was announced as the winner of the contest by a wi de margin. Thus, TECH HAD W ON ITS CHAMPIONSHIP. Incidentally, the band is state champion in class D, since all of the “D” bands of the state were entered at Elkhart. Fifty-five Fifty-six BOOST THE BAND Next year the Tech band will compete in class B with larger and more advanced bands. The experience gained in the Elkhart contest this year will be a great help. For instance, Tech scored very high in interpretation, tone, and general effect, but their instrumenation, when averaged brought their scores much lower. In other words, we need different instruments and more of the ones we do have. That is where YOU can help. Pupils of Tech, PROVE YOUR SCHOOL SPIRIT by helping us develop a cham- pionship band in OUR school that will be known far and wide. We can do it with your help. Let’s not allow other schools to advance above Tech in music, but join the bnneh. Mr. Hovey plans to organize a second band each year to develop material for the Senior band. After a pupil has played in the junior band long enough to read music, he or she will be advanced to the regular band. This method will keep all places filled which would otherwise be left vacant by graduation or by pupils leaving school. Girls, here is our chance. Mr. Hovey says that if enough girls become interested in band work that we can have a girls’ band. Hammond High has one, why can’t we? Come on, girls, let’s JOIN THE BAND! CONGRATULATIONS Mr. Hovey, we congratulate you on the work you have done this year. Any director who can take a bunch of inexperienced boys and girls and in six months pro- duce a winning band is worthy of the highest praise; and we certainly give that to you. We all realize that Mr. Hovey is a good director; but even he couldn’t have won the championship by himself — much credit is due each member of the band for the way they have worked and the loyalty they have shown their director.

President Arthur Evans Vice-Presinent George Leu Secretary Audrey Thorp s P ons °r Miss Nixon The Health Club was organized by our school nurse, Miss Nixon, on November 15 of this year. The purpose of the club is to bring the student body in closer contact with the Health Department. Each, advisory group is represented by a Health Captain and one assistant. A Health Captain serves one semester and then the assistant becomes Captain. The Health Club meets in room 205 at 3:25 every Tuesday. At these meetings Miss Nixon gives the outline of the subject that is to be discussed, and on Wednesday morning the Health Captains give the message to their own| advisory groups. This system is very satisfactory because it is important that health problems be kept before the students, and it would be impossible for Miss Nixon to give, a talk in each room personally. It is the duty of every Health Captain to report to Miss Nixon any student whom they know that needs medical attention, or any unsanitary condition which might exist in the building.

Mr. Wormley became sponsor the first of this year. Under his leadership the club is increasing in size and strength. The Hi-Y Club is the only Christian organization in the school and has proved to be a great help in the development of the “Spirit of Tech.” Each year at Christ- mas and Thanksgiving the Hi-Y takes up donations for the poor. Not only have the boys done good work for the school and community, but they have had a lot of fun.

Seventy-nine THE CLASS FLOWER I T is with full realization of the sweet, deep power in the silent voice of the flowers we have chosen for our class emblem — the beautiful carnation that has so much meaning. It has been just a few years since the carnation first attracted any special attention. Every morning of the year it appeared on the lapel of the Nation’s president and cast an air of cheerfulness to anyone who came into the presence of the great man. The carnation became so clearly associated with him that whenever its name was mentioned, one’s thoughts turned immediately to this big-souled person who was striving so hard to promote the nation’s welfare. And when on that dreadful day in Buffalo he was shot down and the flower in his lapel was crimson with his blood, it became forever afterward sacred to his memory throughout the land and soon became know as the McKinley Flower. Hence, ever since this tragedy, the carnation has been looked upon as standing for the principles of this man’s splendid character. Therefore, we have selected this flower as the emblem of our class and are proclaiming ourselves ready to stand for the same courageous strength and for the same eternal truths for which he lived and died. The carnation is ambitious. It was at one time a simnle little woodland flower but determined to become a flower of refinement and be cultivated in such a way so as to be of greater use to mankind. So it is with educated workers. They strive to be something better than they are. The carnation stands also for power. When we pass a flower stand on the corner or enter a florist’s shop we immediately detect the fragrant odor of the carnation. It stands out in any bouquet. Compare it with the educated worker — it gets the best position in life. Then, too, the carnation is a sweet, attractive flower. There are no thorns to prick one when he comes near but it sends a smiling nod to each and every one. The carnation also signifies endurance. When it has been picked from the soil and put into a vase of water with other flowers — the carna- tion is still strong and fresh looking long after the others have withered and died. We compare this flower to our class which at this time has finished its work in school while others have dropped off along the way because of inability or unwillingness to hold on until the end. These facts we promise to demonstrate through all of our lives. Like the carnation, to turn smiling faces upon the world, to radiate hap- piness and sunshine, to cheer with the sweet scent of our wonderful influence. — Gwendolyn Roberts.
