Five THE CHAR T’ THE HAMMOND TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOL 1919 — 1929 THE CHART IN MEMORY OF MARY DWYER DORMAGEN TECH’S FIRST TEACHER DIED APRIL 1929 MARY DWYER DORMAGEN In the death of Mary Dwyer Dormagen, Tech has lost one of her best and most loyal friends. There are in the homes of Hammond, men and women, who were taught by her when she worked in the grades or in the early days of the Technical High School, who realize what it means that we can no longer turn to her for help and advice in our work. The Hammond Technical High School would not be what it is to- day had it not been for the help of Mary Dwyer. In the fall of 1919 she was the one teacher selected from t he instructors in Hammond to assist in organizing the part-time school which was later to become the Technical Vocational High School. Her first class consisted of one pupil in the room now used by Mr. Hovey for music practice. You will find today among your lesson sheets those which she wrote before there were pupils in the school. From that time until ill health compelled her to leave this school system she gave all that she had to the part-time and full-time pupils of the Hammond Technical High School. Her one thought was the success of this school, and the good that she could do for the pupils in it and the pupils that were to come into it. Much that you have today you owe to her. She worked and sacrificed that you might gain. She was one of the most sincere, considerate, and cheerful educators who have ever been in the Hammond schools. We who know her are glad to have had such a generous friend. We who have worked with her are proud that she was once an instructor in the Technical High School and we know that she was proud of the fine memories which her work and character left with us. — Fred S. Barrows hi i n i ' 6 the chart Appreciation , Life’s a jolly good game with its kicks and cuffs — Some smile, some laugh, some bluff ; Some carry a load too heavy to bear While some push on with never a care. But the load will seldom heavy be When I appreciate you and you appreciate me. He who lives by the side of the road And helps to bear his brother’s load May seem to travel lone and long While the world goes by with a merry song, But the heart grows warm and sorrows flee When I appreciate you and you appreciate me. When i appreciate you and you appreciate me, The road seems short to victory; It buoys one up and calls “Come on,” And days grow brighter with the dawn; There is no doubt or mystery When I appreciate you and you appreciate me. It’s the greatest thought in heaven or earth — It helps us know our fellow’s worth ; There’d be no wars or bitterness. No fear, no hate, no grasping; yes, It makes work play, and the careworn free When I appreciate you and you appreciate me. — William Judson Kibby Ten J. HAROLD SNYDER RUTH E.

When the beautiful little ship began her long voyage, her sails were snowy white, her decks were polished, and her sides were freshly painted. The crew, though inexperienced, was a sturdy lot of willing workers. The stalwart captain, Joe Oarsman, was in command when she left the Senior port on the last stretch of the long trip. The crew, although smaller in number than when the ship started on the cruise, is a jolly bunch and is working to make this voyage one of success. The sails of the ship are now not quite so snowy white, and the paint on her sides has become dulled during the long journey; but this sturdy little ship has been blown by the steady breeze of knowledge to that long- sought port, the harbor of Graduation. The crew waits expectantly. As the clear sky and the laughing sunbeams give promise of a glorious day so the nearing of the ship of ' 29 into that harbor gives promise that those embarked upon it will answer the challenges of the beckoning world.

THE CHART r 9c- r School Days W OW DO YVE FEEL when we realize the end Is right at hand. That our school days are over and alone We’ll have to stand, That our troubles and our problems Now are up to us to face. And the Junior Class is anxious, for They’re to take our place? How do we feel when we think about The things we’ve often said, And contemplated ditching school When we wanted to stay in bed? We’ll now be told that we can go, But do you hear us say, That we rejoice because of it? No, now we’d rather stay. — Gwendolyn Roberts Twenty-five r s :: j l 0 tX THE CHARTS Class Prophecy 1 WAS VERY much upset. T had been asked to write the class prophecy and this evening 1 sat in my room trying in vain to develop an idea. Finally in desperation I threw down my pencil and went to sit at the top of the stairs. What was that? I heard a deep drawling voice that forced me to listen to what was being said. It was tne Crystal Gazer from station W. M. A. Q. I leaned forward and with every nerve tense I listened. The radio had given me an idea, I would write to the Crystal Gazer and ask for an interview. The days seemed endless! as I waited for the answer. It finally came: “If you will tune in on W. M. A. Q. on Tuesday evening at 7 o’clock I will grant your wish.” When the zero hour drew near I was sitting in front of the radio with a complete supply of writing materials. Soon I heard a deep weird voice saying, “If you are ready let us start. We are going to look into the lives of the Seniors of the Technical High School ten years hence. “Looking into my crystal I see first your class president, Joe Cars- man. He is the successful president of the First Trust and Savings Bank of Hammond, Indiana, lie is loved by those who know him because of his fair dealings and agreeable ways. “I see a great courtroom. A man is on trial for his life. The lawyer for the defendant is doggedly pleading his case. I recognize him as Harold Dibblee, your vice-president. “My crystal brings before my eyes a large hall, festively decorated with beautiful lanterns and streamers. A great light is flashed on a lone, dark-haired girl, dancing in the center of the room. She is a marvelous dancer and is encored once, twice, three times and is greeted hilariously at each appearance. The girl turns her face to the light and I see that it is none other than the well known Marie Adams, your secretary. “I see a dark girl. She is employed at Woolworth’s and seems very dissatisfied with what life has to offer her. Her ideals are high and she craves money and excitement. Her future is unhappy because of her tastes. Her name is Viola Lau. “I see a small comfortable bungalow which casts around it an air of cheerfulness. A young woman is standing in the doorway. She has a smile on her face and you would be very glad to see the former Ruth Worley as she is now. I must not stop. My crystal is filled with visions. I see a young red-haired man. He is on the stage, but he is not an actor. I have it. He is the reknowned Master of Ceremonies at the newly built State Theatre. His name is Edward Cox.” There is a long pause and I begin to wonder if he has forgotten 1 here he is again. “I have had to go a long way. I see a large body of water and a vast area of sand. The land is dotted here and there with tall palm Twenty-six THE trees. Two men are strolling: along the shore. They are tanned almost beyond recognition. But I eventually recognize them as Harry Cavan and Richard Vander Tuuk. The voice of the Crystal Gazer hesitated, then: “We are again in our own neighborhood. The crystal seems to be doing fine and it brings to light unthought of situations. Here we have Marie Littman, the most capable and efficient nurse in St. Margaret’s Hospital. She is putting to use the experience she had in Miss Purdy’s office. “An immense A and P store has been erected on State Street and we find Dorothy Lakin and Alice Volkman as the very capable managers. Their charming personalities and efficient business methods have won an enormous trade for their store. “A great discovery has just been made. We have within our midst a marvelous personage. He invents wonderful things. His latest accomplishment is a fuelless motor which, when in an automobile en- ables it to run on land or water. The car runs by drawing electricity out of the air and it draws enough to enable it to go at a terrific speed. The proud inventor is William Pawski. “I am now looking into a small neat room. Seated at a desk in the far corner of the room is a young man, sleeves rolled up to his elbows and hair sadly disheveled. This is due, perhaps, to the great ordeal through which he is going. He is making an effort to invent a satisfact- ory thirteen month calendar, but seems to be making no headway. Perhaps his success in writing the school calendar of 1928-1929 has made Ralph Ballou conceited enough to think he can accomplish this. “I see now in my crystal the Ford Airport at Lansing, Illinois. Here and there are planes being put in order by expert mechanics. Excite- ment reigns on these premises today, because a non-stop flight is to be staged and this is the starting point. Two large planes, still in the hangar, are lovingly fondled by their owners who then leave to consult with the mechanics. I have not seen their faces, but here they are comparing watches and are looking up at the sun. I recognize them as Harry Hawkins and Elmer Johnson. “The scene again changes. We are now in the heart of town. Next door to the Parthenon is a dainty little tea shoppe. It is owned and operated by Nellie and Mattie, the Van Gorp cousins, and Locadie Ratter. “I see a strange sight. In spite of all she ever said expressing her opinion of English teachers and how they should conduct their classes, I see Helen Guess teaching in Room 106. “Size is of no account in the game of life. We find Henry Paisley head cartoonist of the Chicago Tribune working away in his office on the tenth floor of the Tribune Building. “The crystal now shows me a scene in Whiting Park on a warm summer evening. A band concert is being given and during the inter- mission the director walks among the crowd. He is none other than Carl Nack, a former Tech musican. “One of the season’s most popular entertainments has just been announced. Joe Bognar and Victor Sitnick are bringing their renowned marionettes to the Technical High School’s new auditorium for a per- formance. Twenty-seven THE CHA R 7W ' s r s e, — “I see the interior of the home of a well known New York society matron. A ball is being given in honor of Colonel Lindbergh in recogni- tion of his latest accomplishment. There are many notables present and if my crystal does not fool me I see the faces of many former Tech stu- dents. On one side of the room I see Clarence Clark talking to charming Dorothy Lutes, now a well known actress. Seated under the palms in the conservatory are Muriel Eastman and James Munster. There by the beautiful fountain is Gertrude Kosin, the noted pianist, accompanied by Harry flatten, the broker from Wall Street. “I have a new scene in my crystal. I see a small village in Switzerland. A group of vacationers come out, of a hotel and begin to consult with a guide. The group looks very gay and picturesque in their bright colored garments. I am curious to see who these people are. Why, there is Mae Bostian! She inherited a fortune shortly after her graduation and has lived a life of ease since. It must be fate that has brought these old friends together again, for I recognize Esther Campbell. She has made a name for herself as a very capable member of the Board of Education. She is accompanied by the congenial George Leu, now a successful business man from Philadelphia.” He hui lied on: My crystal now brings before my eyes a large boat out on the ocean. It is the Majestic and on its ample decks are seated individuals that look very interesting. I see the Captain, stately and proud in his immaculate white uniform. The first mate addresses him as Captain Elmer Amwald and he is the subject of much admiration. Glancing curiously around the deck my eyes rest upon a gentleman and his companion. Her quiet, dumure ways mislead one and she would not be recognized as the lively dark-haired yell leader of former happy davs Of course, it is Inez O’Brien.” ,“ T see in my crystal the Radio Department at the Lion Store. 1 he broadcast children s stories every afternoon and the young ladv in chaige is called the Story Lady by the hundreds of children who love her although they have never seen her. I recognize her as Inez Hendrickson On Monday and Thursday afternoons the Story Lady reads poems to the children. These poems are written by Gwendolyn Roberts. ‘‘The fifteen story Indiana Hotel on State and Hohman Streets has just been purchased by Mildred Powell and Lillian Kuschel “I see a young woman seated at an easel. She is painting dili- gently. She pauses and turns toward me, it is Luella Vanes. “My crystal shows me a large department store in New York In the Accounting Department I see Lucille Hartman and Lilv Epstein, and in the same store I see Kathryn Vasiliades as a very capable Sales Manager. I enter one and there I find “I see the shops along Fifth Avenue. Louie Friedman as manager. “We are back in our studio now— I glance at the clock, in ex- actly one minute the Crystal Gazer leaves the air. There are no more V i S1 ?u S ' % my c 7? ta1 ’ its travels for this evening are over. One member ot the Class of 29, however, has not yet passed in array before you that member has just stepped into the studio and he asks me to tell you that this decade has brought to him much fame as the golden voiced announcer from W. M. A. Q. The Crystal Gazer is now turning the microphone oyer to Kenneth Guse and leaving the air until 7 o’clock to- morrow evening. Goodbye everybody! Twent i-eight THE CHART Class Flower T r HERE are two reasons why we have chosen the rose for our class flower. First, because of its beauty and richness, and second, because it is universally acknowledged as the symbol of love. We are in love with life in general because of all it has to offer. We are in love with the past, for it has meant much to us. We are in love with the present, for these are our happiest days, and we are very much in love with the future because it holds promises and hopes, the mystery of which is very sweet and appalling. The future has much in store for us. There are duties and pleasures in which we as men and women will participate. Our success in the work we have chosen to do will depend upon our forbearance and integrity. We must advance step by step, until we have achieved our goal and advanced to meet success, just as the rose blooms forth in all its glory. We shall, therefore, grew slowly but surely, developing beautiful characters and personalities, the fragrance of which will penetrate through- out our daily life and cast its influence upon our associates.

He was a good ground gainer and a valuable man. He was placed at quarterback and named Captain of the second All-Conference team. He will return next year and will play the same position. JACK RUFFIN Jack was our peppy, fighting half back. Every game saw him doing his bit for the Brown and Gold. He was placed at right half back on the All-Conference team. He will return next year and resume his old position. JOE CARSMAN Graduation will claim Joe this year and the team will suffer a big loss. He was a very valuable man at end. JOE MATOVINA Joe was a valuable center and a hard line hitter. He will be back next year but will play the end position. TONY KOZUBAL Tony at full back was one of our best men. He will not be back next year and will be missed by the team. He was placed at right tackle on the All-Conference team. WALTER KOZUBAL Walter held down the position of guard. Next year will see him back with the Brown and Gold as tackle. WILLIAM PETERS Peters was our freshman who was a real tackier. He will be back next year at the same position. WILBUR HINKLE Hinkle was a center and guard. He will return as a guard next year. JOHN VAN WILLIGAN Van Willigan was our tackle with plenty of nerve. H e was placed at right tackle on the second All-Conference team. ALBERT PAYTON Payton was another half back who was a good ground gainer. He will be back next year to play the same position. FRANK RACZ Racz was another half back who was a good ground gainer. He will be back at the same position next year. WILLIAM PAWSKI Graduation will claim Pawski and the Brown and Gold will lose a good end man. Fifty-seven THE CHART c — -se- — r ' vs e ” afwj ROBERT MOSELEY , , Moseley was a half back who could break through the line for good gains. He will be back next year at the same position. JOE BOGNAR , Graduation will claim this tackier who played some real football. GAIL GRAGIDO Gail was a quarter back who played a good game of football. He will b e back next year at the same position. MALVIN BIRKHOLTZ Birkholtz was only a freshman but proved that he knew how to play the half back position.

He will be back next year as end or guard. DURWOOD TAYLOR Taylor played a good game as guard. He will return and play end or guard. CHARLES BARNES Another freshman who showed his worth at end this year. He will return. WADE ZIMMERLY Wade played the end position and will return for the same pos- ition next year. ROLAND GRANNON Grannon was a full back and will try for the same berth next year. LEONARD BEATTIE A half back who will return for the same position next year: THOMAS JAMES James proved his worth at the end position. He will return next year and will probably try for a position as quarter back. Hold the game above the prize. And the rules above the goal, Here the greater glory lies, Here is victory for the soul. Hold the game above the thrill Of the cheering of the clan, For the one of lesser skill May come out the greater man. Better far than victory Or the prizes victors claim, Win or lose, it is to be One who glorifies the game. Edgar Guest Fifty-eight S(T — X j THE CHART- Fifty-nine THE CH A R Games As Played T HE 1928 Football Season was one of which Tech has every reason to be proud. The team went through the season fighting like Tigers, playing the game clean and always smil- ing, and won second place in the Northwestern Indiana Athletic Conference. Coaches R. M. Wilson, J. H. Snyder, and C. A. Kessler not only taught the boys the funda- mentals of the game but they also taught them the true meaning of real sportsmanship. After all it is not so much whether the game is won or lost but how the team played the game that really matters. Sportsmanship and correct habits of living are the things that will last long after the shouts of victory have died. Official sweaters and letters were awarded to eight boys, official let- ters to six, athletic awards to twelve, and Freshman “Tigers” to sixteen. Two boys were awarded berths on the All-Conference eleven — Tony Ko- zubal was placed at right tackle and Jack Ruffin at right half back. Two boys also received berths on the second All-Conference eleven — Van Will- igan being placed at right tackle and Davis at quarter back and Captain of the team. THE WHITING GAME The season opened September 22 with the Whiting Oilers. The Tigers fought a hard game but were unable to score against the heavy Whiting team. At the end of the first half the score was 0-0. The final score was 15-0 in favor of the Oilers. Ruffin and Davis played stel- lar football for Tech. THE ROOSEVELT GAME The Rough Riders of Roosevelt invaded the lair of the Tigers on September 29 and went home with a smile and a 30-0 victory. The brilliant end runs and expert passing of Coach Austin’s proteges spelled the decisive defeat for Tech. Sixty ■a THE THE CROWN POINT GAME Undaunted by two previous defeats and the fact that Crown Point’s dazzling aerial attack had rendered them helpless during the first half of the game, the Tech Tigers trotted on the field at the begin- ning of the second half of the afternoon of October 6 and in ten minutes the flashy grid machine had begun to function. The line plunges of Ruffin and Davis and a brilliant end run of 20 yards by Racz put the ball on Crown Point’s 5 yard line. Davis crashed through the line for Tech’s first touchdown. The kick for extra point failed. Kozubal plunged through the line for the second touchdown and Davis soared the oval pig skin midway through the bars for the extra point and victory for Tech. Tech did not get a penalty during the game. The final score was 13-12. THE HOBART GAME With every wearer of the Brown and Gold playing stellar football during the entire game the Tech Tigers were able to win their second conference game from Hobart on October 13. The score was 13-6. Con- sistent line pinging and brilliant field running gained the victory for Tech. THE THORNTON-FRACTIONAL GAME The Purple and Gold of Thornton Fractional triumphed over the Brown and Gold October 20 to the tune of 10-7 for the first time since 1925. According to first do .s Tech outplayed Thornton Fractional, but the latter’s aerial attack baffled the Tige s in the second half. At the end of the first half the score was 7-7, but accompanied by beautiful in- terference, Carl Schomaker’s elk-like gallop of 80 yards and Rae Blae- mire’s 90 yard dash carried the proteges of Coach Petrie to victory. THE LOWELL GAME The Tigers kept the Tech colors flying October 27 by their 18-2 victory over L owell. The Tech touchdowns by Mundt, Moseley and Bognar were due to the good work of the Tech line. The thrill of the battle came when Bognar intercepted a Lowell pass and galloped 80 yards for a touchdown. This game assured Tech second place in the Conference. THE PULLMAN TECH GAME Not showing the usual Tiger fight Tech was defeated on November 3 by Pullman Tech of Roseland to the time of 18-0. Tony Kozubal and Moseley starred on the offense and Pawski and Larson played well on the defense for Tech. THE HAMMOND HIGH GAME Outplayed, outweighed, but not outfought the Tech Brown and Gold battalion was defeated on November 22 by Hammond High. The score at the end of the first half was 13-0. The final score was 33-6. Tech made its only score near the end of the game when Captain Davis received the ball on his own 25 yard line. He darted to his right, cut in- side and eluded tackier after tackier for a sensational 75 yard run and a touchdown. This was Tech’s lone marker. Tech did not get a penalty during the game.

Watch him go next season. Joe Cai sman, reserve captain, displayed some fine side work when under fi.e and played a veiy good offensive game. Joe will not be back next year. Donald Murphy, right forward, slumped the early part of the year but hit his sti’ide in the last six games. He also will be back. Arnold Demik, center, is expected to do big things next year. He play- ed as well as might be expected because of his experience. John McGroarty, floor guard, played good both offensive and defensive throughout the season. He received honorable mention at the Lake County Tournament. I’.yford Davis, backguard, displayed some neat guarding but lost some of his technique toward the end of the season. He also will be back and we hope he will hold his stride. Gail Gragido, forward, was high point man on reserve squad and big things are expected of him next year. Let’s Go! BASKETBALL SEASON The 1928-29 basketball season was very disastrous as far as scores were concerned but was a very successful one in building up material for the coming season. Coach Kessler’s greatest problem was the lack of material. We hope, however, that the players are not discouraged and we wish them the best luck for the next season.

Many good players had been developed last year and all the boys were eager to get started this year. Two leagues were organized, eight academic teams representing the American League, and nine shop teams representing the National League. These seventeen teams made it possible for the two hundred boys to take part in this sport. The season schedule started March 26 and ended May 22. Two games were played each day and the members of the faculty officiated in big league style. The winning teams from each league plaved a series ol games to decide the school championship. Mr. Millett of the Colonial sporting Goods Store donated a silver loving cup which was given to the winning team.

Not only is the size of the band increasing, but the experience and the ability of the players have increased as well, and the band is playing standard selections, overtures, and classical numbers which are in the library of every fine band, professional or amateur. Two of these numbeis were played as contest selections this year. Many people do not understand why the band, when only organ- ized six months, won a sectional contest last year, and with an addi- tional year ' s experience did not do the same this year. It might be well to explain that last year, our band was ccmpe ing only with bands organized less than a year, while this year competition was furnished by la ' ger and experienced bands. Many of these had been organized as long as eight years and had as many as eighty-five membe s playing. It is reasonable to say that our band made more progress this year than las 1 ' , when or.e considers the difficult music the band is playing success- fully and the favorable showing it made in the district contest this year. Did you know that two judges this year rated cur musicans above the band that is representing Indiana at the National Contest at Den- ver, Colorado, and that we also placed third and fourth in two contests this year which included the best bands in Northern Indiana? During the contest period, Mr. Hovey was ably assisted by Mr. Upson, who is an excellent trombone player and well qualified to coach the lower brass instruments such as trombones, baritones and basses. The band is very gratful for Mr. Upson’s help. Shortly before this year’s CHART went to press, the Girls’ Band held their first rehearsal. This is an organization that is full of pep and promises to give the regular band a lot of competition next year. Mr. Hovey feels that in at least one thing, the band members are National Champs and that this is loyalty. Never was a band more loyal to its director than the Tech band. Evening rehearsals, contests, marching- engagements, all were attended 100 per cent during the past year. BAND SPIRIT AND LOYALTY has grown to be a by-word at school. Such spirit and loyalty is stressed in the organization at all times and to this fact goes the credit for the rapid progress the band has made. For their efforts this year band members have received attractive band monograms and are to be outfitted this September in flashy! new uni- forms of military style. Many marching foiTnations and field drills are being planned and we are certain that the Tech band will have no superiors while on the march. Students! Now is the time to start to play a musical instrument. Take the opportunity that is offered you free of charge and help make our girls’ band and our concert band larger and more successful organizations than they are at the present time.

A selection from “Sigurd Jorsalfar Suite for Military Band” by Grieg was featured. “Lustspiel” Overture was also played in an attractive manner and the band, most popular for its snappy marches, played a few 7 of this lighter type of music. Charles Labarre, student director, assisted Mr. Hovey with the baton work. Seventy-four THE CHA R MY PET ANTIPATHY it HOWARDS die many times before their death.” 1 really hesitate to admit it, but I am afraid I am a coward, or let me say, used to be a coward, when a dose of medicine was to be taken. This was particularly true when the old standby, the cuie of all cures, the one indispensable member of the household medicine cabinet, castor oil was involved. I have stood on the back door step with a gallon tablespoon filled to overflowing with the poison (to the taste) above mentioned in one hand and my nose in the other, and have died the death of a coward” a hundred times. At some time during castor oil’s history, some well meaning soul conceived the idea of coloring it red, to represent strawberry pop, 1 sup- pose. But he died before he tasted the result of his efforts I know lie did, because he could not have gone through life with the guilty conscience of knowing that he had infamously ruined the sweet dis- positions of thousands of children by putting such a product on the mar- ket for parents to buy. Another attempt at the improvement of the taste of castor oil resulted in the product that tastes like a certain library paste smells, only worse. I feel certain that the would-be-discoverer of this product never tasted it before it was put on the market. As 1 bring back memories of childhood, I find that the taste of castor oil still lingers in my mouth. Well do 1 remember that at the first sign of my ailment, mother would march boldly and fearlessly toward the medicine cabinet, and 1 would slink meekl and 1 eai fulls in an opposite direction. To go away availed me nothing, for 1 knew well that I was to come when I was called. No one ever argued so violently againt anything ' as I would then argue about taking castoi oil. 1 would plead, reason, protest, offer suggestions, deny being ill, and use every method of entreaty known to man to try to have my sentence changed, but always with the same result: I took the medicine. The taste of the oil was not so dipleasing in itself, but the odor. And stand on my head if I would, or suffocate myself, or perform both actions at once, I found the result the same — I inhaled the heavenly pei- fume of castor oil. Even the taste and smell combined are not unbear- able, but add to them the feel of cool grease, salad oil, harness oil, or any kind of oil, and any child would rather go to jail than to see the sturt. I am thankful that 1 am older now and can pick my own beverages. The first one 1 strike off my list and always will as long as 1 live is castor oil. _ P. M.

Like the starlight or the moonlight Is the fordcW of your day-d earns.” Thus dissuading speak the Seniors, But wc Freshmen do net lis ' en. Gravely then, the Juniors warn us, “Clear the way, ye idle Freshmen, Clear the way, ye youthful dreamers, Minds untrained, and wits unsharpened, Why exrect to be one of us? We, who in the fields of knowledge, Want no rank but one above you.” But we Freshmen do not heed them. Then the mighty Sophomore speaketh “Here into our school come strangers, A mysterious flock from pastures, Come as lambs unto our folds, Beg admission at our doorway. And we Sophs answer curtly, “You may enter on condition That you carry all our burdens. Be the goat for evermore.” Now we Freshmen answer boldly, “Be content within our limits? We shall work and live and prosper Till we’ve realized all our day-dreams, Till we are stately Seniors, Till we too are lords of all.” Thus it is we’ve journeyed upward, Thus it is we youthful Freshmen To this famous Tech High School Bring the starlight of our day-dreams, Gain the favor of our teachers, Prove to Mr. Barrows our merit. Thus we’ll lead the school to honor. Who can say that they’ll do more? (With apologies to Longfellow) Seventy-eight c eu X -✓Vi l ‘- THE CHART smile awhile Smile awhile!

Coached by Miss Alexander ; nd Miss Richman - Ninety-six THE CHART “THE PATSY” The Senior Class of 1929 presented their annual play, “The Patsy”, by Barry Conners, to a full house the evening of June 7 in the Tech Auditorium. The play was chosen for its amusing family problems and light- weight, wholesome romance. The story centers on the caprices and es- capades of pretty Patricia Harrington, who is forced to play second fid- dle, not without protest, to her socially ambitious sister, Grace. The mother backs Grace to the point of neglecting Patricia, in her attempts to gain popularity with the local four hundred. The traveling salesman father tends to support his favorite, Patricia, because he trusts her always to do the sportmanlike thing. Patricia’s sense of humor gets her into plenty of difficulties, but her intelligence and sense of honor gets her out very well. Her make-believe romance with a former suitor of her sister turns into real happiness for her, and helps clear up the family situation. The graduating Seniors who made up the cast were as follows: The play was coached by Miss Thelma Alexander and Miss Georgia Richman. T1IE CHART- . 0 - A AUTOGRAPHS THE CHART AUTOGRAPHS One Hundred
