We trust that our work may add in some way to the forward movement. We have done our best. We now present it to you. The Staff Six The Chart Mr. I. L. Conner W E mark that man as a hero who, at the word of command, unhesitatingly ad- vances toward the field of battle. We know that man to be a hero who, marching faithfully on in his work, knows that each day is bringing him nearer that Veil” which opens for every man but once and closes behind him forever. We revere that man as a hero who, faithful to his creed, fearlessly faces death that he may be faithful to the end; and we who knew Isaac Leland Conner intimately know that he was thrice a hero, for he qualified for this honor under every test. I could have no more difficult task than this effort to express fully the appreciation I have for the work that he did in building this school, and in molding the character of the boys with whom he came in contact. They went to him as boys, and they left him as men — working men with higher ideals of morals and workmanship because of his influence and his love for that work. He was a builder of men. I am writing this to you boys of Tech, in order that you may know what we who worked with him thought of him as a man. I want you to know that the field of honor on which heroes die is a field of honor because heroes march steadfastly forward across that field. The floor of the humblest shop becomes a field of honor when a man like Conner advances steadily across it, upheld by faith, courage, and steadfastness of trust, on to the Last End. Fred S.

We are proud of the showing the Tech band made at this contest altho they were eliminated by the two bands mentioned above. Our instrumentation score - based on the number of instruments and the balance - something over which we have no control, lowered our final score considerable. Just look at the scores the other bands had on, ' the number of instruments they had] Hammond High 1 00 o Emerson of Gary IOO j F roebel of Gary 9Q % Horace Mann of Gary 96-f o Hammond Tech 87- This proves the need for more members and i n- s t rumen t s fo r we doubf if a 50 piece band can make a better showing against a 90 or 100 organi- zation anywhere. We will always have the satis- faction of knowing that our organization was made up of 50 membe rs all doing a little more than their best and willing to sacrifice other pleasures in order to get in additional practice and make a more credible showing at a sectional contest. During this year the Tech band has made more than tv ice as many public appearances as in any previous season. Both its concerts were markedly successful. The band furnished the music for the Parent-Teachers ' play two evenings at the Hammond High School Auditorium. It gave a program at the Irving School Carnival, at the Kenwood School Carnival, and a concert tor the Band Parents ' Club of the Edison School. These programs were given to help raise money for various school organiza- tions, including bands and orchestra. Tech Band ' s Twenty- nine 1 The Chart - - • - THE TECH BAND policy is to assist any school which is working tor the advancement ot music in Hammond school system. The band played at all the tootball games, most ot the basketball games and all the pep meet- ings. The soloists at the Junior-Senior banquet. Commencement and Class Day are band members. A dance band, organized t rom among the band, plays tor the dancing at banquets. But it is on parade that our band really shines at its best. It marches smartly and plays well. Our band serves the people ot Ha mmo n d when- ever it is needed in a public function. We led the Health Parade, the second section of the Mem- orial Day Parade, and the parade of the sixteen school bands to stir up interest in raiding $7500 to send the Hammond High musical organizations to the national contests. Their playing at the basc- ba I I game held to help raise this money won them the honor and pleasure of being directed by Art Kassel of the Castles of the Air Orchestra from Station WIBO. Our band met at short notice on a short notice on a lovely Sunday afternoon, giving up their own plans for the day, to welcome home the musicians returning from Flint, and attracted much favorable comment as they marched to and from the Michigan Central s t a t i on-- t hems c I ve s the whole parade. We are proud, too, of the spirit of good sportsmanship that caused every member to roll out of bed early in the morning, don his uniform and march down to the station to cheer on our former competitors, Hammond High, as they left to claim National honors. Every member of our band was present. This year band instruction has been placed in the curriculum, and school credit is given for it. By having Senior Band in the eighth period, it is possible to lengthen the time of rehearsal when- ever necessary. Regular attendance is insisted upon as with other classes.

Members ot the Junior Band are looking forward to the time when they will be permitted to wear the un i forms . If every student in school appreciated the opportunities that are his. Tech High would have a band that would rightly represent it in numbers as well as in other qualities. And here we w.l let you in on a little secret. More school instru- ments are to be purchased and each will be availaoie to some student during each of the eight periods.

Thirty-five Hammond Public Library — The Chart Thirty-six r,he Char-,. • - THE GIRLS ' SHOPS Technical High School is a vocational school, a school tor teaching workers their trades. It is a shop school in which each student spends one-halt of each day in the shops acquiring the skill re- quired by his trade. The other half of the day he uses in acquiring the related knowledge needed to enable the worker to utilize the skill gained in the shoos. The girls are offered training as h omema k e r s , seamstresses, clerical workers, file clerks, comp- tometer operators, typists, stenographers or book- keepers. Each girl takes two shops, spending a fourth of a day in each. Every effort is mady by the Director and in- structors to keep the training up-to-date. If the business world adoots — for instance — a new style of letter arrangement, we can learn it at cnee-- i t is only a matter of adding a new job sheet to a flexible course of study; we do not have to go on learning out-of-date methods for the ten or fifteen years it takes publishers to get around to revising a textbook to bring it up to the current standard of the business world. TYPING students here do, from the first, as nearly as possible the same kinds of work that typ- ists do out on the job. BOC.KKEEP I IMG students become familiar with many business forms and gain a general understanding of business organization while they struggle with the dizzying intricacies of debit 1 and credit . Pupils taking FILING learn to take care of business papers in an orderly way so that when any paper is wanted again it can be found speedily. The COMPTOMETER course prepares girls to do machine arithmetic, an occupation which pays better than the average office position. Thi r t y- seven - - - ■ — — — - - - - T ' h e Cha rt • — — — THE GIRLS ' SI-TPS I NTRCDUCT |CN to BUSINESS trains the junior ottice worker--the sales girl, the wrapper, mailing clerk, messenger or general clerical worker. SHORTHAND here is learned very ditterently from the way it is usually studied. We build ease and speed in writing by gathering a large vocabu- lary through reading from the shorthand; the usual thing, it seems, is to memorize rules for several semesters and then try to write. In OFFICE PRACTICE groups, the girls learnto operate a telephone switchboard, t use the Ditto machine, to meet and deal with callers, to answer and make telephone calls, and distribuie mail. Our COCKING girls learn to cook foods which may be served in their own homes, to plan meals, to buy, and above al I gain a tine sense of the im- portance of cleanliness and daintiness in handling food s . SEWING girls make, repair and remodel garments for themselves or members of their families. Some of them even make their own patterns. ' Millinery may be taken as an avocational sub- ject. The training includes making and remodeling hats. Some very attractive hats made here were shown in the Winter Style Show. We find the same spirit of cooperation in the girls ' shops which is so evident in the shops for boys. The Typing Department provides copies of job sheets for the entire school; the Shorthand Department gives stenographic service; the Comp- t ome ter De part me nt will do or check any ma t h e ma f — ical work; the Sewing Department makes emergency clothing repairs and makes quantities of my s t c r i o u s litflc ticking pads tor the Plumbing Shop--these are only a few examples of the interworking of the girls ' shops . Thi rty-eight — The Chart THE GIRLS’ SHOPS — ... T hiriy-nme — — The Chart THE GIRLS’ SHOPS Forty — The Charts — THE BOYS ' SHOPS All work in the boys ' shops is direct, inten- sive , trade training. A lad may choose to be an auto mechanic, a machinist , a carpenter, cabinet maker, sheet metal worker, molder, electrician, weld er, plumber or drattsman.

A great advance has been made in our shopwork this year by arranging for the boys from the various shops to go to the Forge Shop in squads of eight for a period of two to twelve days, to learn tool dress- ing. A good workman must be able to keep his tools i n good condi t i on . Cooperation between the shops is highly develop ed. This seemed the outstanding feature of the shop work to your editor when gathering material for this Chart. One instructor would mention something made in his s hop and go on to tell of the part two or three other shops had taken in completing the job. An e n g i n e- c I e a n i n g tank tor the Auto Shops had been made by the Sheet Metal, Forge and Plumbing Shops, Drafting stools made by the Welders had seats made by the Wood Shop and were painted by the Wood Shop, Mu sic racks were made from Drafting i lcss draw- ings by the Sheet Metal and Forge Shops with adjust- ment sc rev s by the Machine Shop and were painted by the Wood Shop. A car with battered fenders coming into the Auto Shop had its fender dents taken out by Sheet Me t a I workers a car with a broken fra me or axle was welded by lads from the Forge Shop. The Elect- ric Shop lads rewired machines for all the shops the Machine Shop has repaired and replaced broken parts of machines for all the shops. And so it goes, cooperation thru all the shops to a point which approaches the routing of a job thru a commercial plant. r- ) f ty-one ■ - - Thi- Chart -c_=.:.2c. SI LVERSMITHS Did you know we have a jewelers workshop here at Tech? e have-- in iv ' .r . Flack ' s advisory. The lads in this group wanted to work in silver, but there w a s no class time available. Being resource- ful chaps, they snatched the ten minutes each morn- ing that they had been using for getting out note- book s and such routine details. Ten minutes a day is very little but the bracelets, watch fobs, belt buckles, shoe buckles, letter openers, desk sets, ash trays, matchbox holders, nameplates tor trav- eling bags and band instrument cases, nec ' laces and rings which the boys have made show what can be done with even so little time. Bank days with twenty min utes tor advisory have been hail ' d appreciatively by the jewelers in the Forne Shop. The boys work in german silver, hammering it and acid-etching the designs. The beautiful pieces they make could be sold readily, but each boy wants to keep h i s own . V7hen the school seems prosy, humdrum or ut- terly workaday, let your imagination drift to this bit of romance that is happening in our basement and take hope anew.

The purpose of this activity is to furnish some sport for the boys that are not taking part in spring athletics such as track and baseball. A keen rivalry exists between the teams. The teams are made up of avocational classes and time for practice is received during class time. The instructor in charge coaci.es the boys along the line of team work and rules of the game.

The AVOCAT IONAL CLASSES (for some obscure reason called activities ) ate meant to be enter- taining. corrective of physical, mental and social habits, and to enlarge the students ' interest. The boys activities are either musical or athletic. A lad may participate in ihe orchestra, band, basket-ball, football, track, horseshoe oitch- ing, kittenball. These athletic groups attract much attention during their fifty-minute classes on the sandlot. The girls activities are mu s i ca I -- s i n g i ng and glee club, orchestra or band--eri. gymastics. or dramatics. The art groups prepare the table dec- orations. place cards, and room decorations for all our social events! they also make many beautiful thi ngs for themselves such as lamp shades, curtain tie-backs, fancy pillows, doorstops, hot-pan holders, telephone roses. French dolls, telephone covers, and have framed pictures. The GYMNAST 1C classes, nonchalantly ignoring the tack of a gymnasium or any eouipment, have gone resolutely about exercises for improving t he i r pos- ture and developing grace of movement, and learning games. They tried dancing tor a time but Mr. Cald- well could not work with their light (?) sieps just over his head. The dramatics groups work for poise, grace of mo vement and speech and once in a couple of whiles give us all a treat by presenting one of their plays in as semb I y .

They played to a good-sized, well-pleased audience each night, and rather covered themselves with glory both as to the worth of their performance and the size of the proceeds. They handed over their net cash results with considerable satisfaction and pride as their hard-earned share toward the Senior Class gift to the school.

Emily made a huge comedy attraction of it, and Mary played it very seriously, Bessie Gilchrist, flitting in and out of the scene in her queer costume, was as clever and funny and abandoned a comedian as we have had at Tech. Audrey Tharp and Wanda Ratter rivalled as Bill Foster ' s pretty sweetheart. Each was pleasing and at ease in the part. John Marincc and Harry Bcamer both played their detective roles convincingly. John was the hard- boiled Scotland Yard variety, sure of his lines and clues on the stage, but behind the scenes very much concerned over his handsome appearance, ' Beamcr was a well-poised, business-like American agent endowed with a more friendly sort of investigating system than Marince’s rapid-fire cross-questioning. Everyone else in the cast was a good support, and the good team work of them all was responsible for the satisfying outcome of the play. Sevcnty eight «- • � The CV a t ;—- AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING One bright sunny day in October. 1919. I was told by Mr. Riley, attendance officer at that time, to see Mr. Barrows as I was too young, to be working without a permit. Mr. Barrows gave me the working permit and told me about the new lav which compe lied every working boy and girl under sixteen years old to go to school a halt o day a week, and persons under that one not working to go to school one day a w e e k . On my tirst day at school. Mr. Barrows told Miss Mary A. Dwyer to take her class to her room. She look’d at me in surprise and laughingly asked it I was all there was ot the class. Being assured that I was the whole class sue took me up to a little attic room ot the old Central Elementary School on Hohman Street. This room is now known. I believe, as Room 352 ot your building and is used by the band. But back in 1919. it was shabby, poorly lighted, poorly vent- ilated. and needed replastering. It was turn! shed with one long tabie and two chairs. After re mo vinp a quarter- inch layer of dust from this scant furniture. Miss Dwyer and I sat down tor the first class session ot the Hammond I e c h n i c a I - Vo- cational Schoo I -- t hough neither of us realized what a big thing we were storting. 7e worked on a review of arithmetic, English, and some Hi story. That tirst day in school as the only one in the class. I thought it was all foolishness and wouldn’t last very long, but I changed my mind as I saw the class grow larger every time l came back to school. I well r emembw r how Miss Dwyer said to me. Max, s ome day you will be glad to say you were the lirst student in this school. You will be proud to say. ' That is my school, and I am proud of it . When I see how the school has grown t rom the time I was a student there. I have every reason to believe it will grow in the future. A .

Chan • — • — • — NEW COURSES No other school year has seen so many new courses offered as has this present year. We have been able to give these new courses because the in- spectors tor the United States Board tor Vocational Education so heartily approved and admired the work we have been doing in Tech: they told Mr. Barrows to go ahead with any new plans he wished to try out The result is that we can now have the avocational classes or activities and also the various other new courses now being developed. HOME MANAGEMENT, by Mrs. Byers, strives to give the girls the modern idea of homemaking. This is that The making of a real home where the woman gives herself and her family a fair deal and a- chieves tor herself and her family the largest me a s ure of health, happiness, and success, offers a von an a chance to show the kind of stuff she is made of. Certainly no business or profession can offer her a more desirable career than that of the woman of high ideals and right attitudes toward her work who manages her home efficiently as a business is run. SCIENCE for GIRLS, by Mrs. K i e c k h e a f e r , is an intensely practical course intended to explain the why of every-day occurrences and the how of keeping equipment of a modern home in working order The girls find the answers to many things that have puzzled them — why it rains or snows or hails; what makes the dew, the thunder and the lightning, or a tornado; why summer changes to autumn and autumn to winter; how the telephone carries voices; how glasses help a near-sighted or far-sighted person; and even why the cream (if any) rises to the top of milk. No ne of these girls will ever need to coax John to rewire the electric iron or toaster, or put in a new fuse, fix that leaky faucet, or wire a lamp tor her; she can do it herself] She can dry clean her best dress, too, and take out stains--can even fire the furnace. SCIENCE. APBRECIAT ICN, by Mr. Cooper, is a lec- ture course intended to awaken the girls’ under- standing of the natural laws that rule this Eighty-four NEW COURSES interesting world we live in. Recent inventions, such as the radio and the airplane, by which man makes these natural laws serve him, are discussed. The BOYS’ SCIENCE course, bv Mr. Cooper, has been so reorganized as to be practically a new course. The ' work has been related to the shop work so that the plumber gets the scie ' nce that will help him in plumbing, the welder gets the science of metals that will help in welding, and so on for each shop. RFIATEO TECHNOLOGY, by Mr. Benson, gives the technical information that a boy needs to broaden h i-s under s t and i ng of his shop work. He learns of other tools and machines besides those we have .or doing his work; and of ofher methods by which the work may be done. He becomes a familiar person with the latest literature of his f r ade- -c a t a I oguc s , circu | a r s and maqozines. An earnest endeavor is made to form in him t-he habit of reading the technical lit- erature of his trade so that his education in it will qo on beyond his school days thru his whole working life. CQMMERC 1 A L ARITHMETIC, by Mr s . Kieckheafer, takes up just the kind of mathematical work that will have to be done when the girls go out to work in offices. They look up in catalogues of the manu- facturers and jobbers, articles to be- boup j e y figure fhc d i scoun r--o ' t te n chain d i scount s-- to get the net cost of the goods; they find out what .he selling price must be to ye i Id a cc r t-a i n. pe r ce n t of profit; what the retail selling price on small quan- tities of these goods must be; in what cases it would pay to borrow money to take advantages of the discounts. They learn how to figure several dl.fcrent kinds of payrolls. Many mathematical shortcuts are learned and used. CCM E D C I A l GEOGRAPHY, by Miss Moengcn, meets the business qtrl ' s needs tor a knowledge of the location and correct spelling of our great cihcs of the proper abbreviations; of state names; what E i gh t y- f i vc TVie Chart. - - - -- NEW COURSES geographical reference books there arc and how to use them; how to plan routes ot travel and shipment; how transportation and communication have developed and arc developing; and how the American people trade. BUS INF. c c TRAINING I, by Mi s s Kaske, is a course in the use ot business forms, records, banks and money; a bit of commercial law, economics and bus- iness ethics. The kinds ot banks, denominations and m r ney, how and where our money is made, business cycles and investments are studied. Each girl kept a time budget tor three weeks to show her whether she was using all of her twenty- four hours to the best advantage for herself. Dur- ing the first week of keeping a time budget, it be- came known that some of these girls were more favor- ed by fate than most--they had 25, 27, even as much as 28 hours in a day when we common mortals were having to souceze all our doings into 24 hoursj Each member of the class keeps a record of all she spent for clothing, entertainment, etc. BUSINESS TRAINING II, by Mi s s Eastwood, is con- cerned with the adaption of the girl to the business world, apart from her training and ability to do the work expected of her. Vigorous round-table discussions of personal appearance, personal hygiene, every-day manners, office ettipuette, what the girl may expect to have as her duties, how to apply for a job, follow lectures. Cultivations of taste, charm, courtesy and an intelligent desire to be helpful is the goal for which the girls taking Business Training II arc striving. NURSING, by Miss Purdy, prepares the student to do simple home nursing including making the patient ' s bed, bathing the patient, planning the patient ' s diet, giving first aid, and caring for babies. The nursing girls gain an appreciation of health. INDUSTRIAL HISTORY, by Mr. Callcntine, presents the growth of our nation ' s industries, business and inventions, and there influence on the life of the The Chart NEW COURSES people. This side of history has influenced our lives more than that side oi history which is m i_de up ot wars and treaties. The lads trace the devel- opment of industry from the early days when almost everything was made, at home up to ' to these days when even 1 home-made p i c 11 comes from a factory. Cur industries are compared with those of oth_r countrie BOYS ' MATH has been so reorganized by Mr. Crcm- we I I as to rightfully belong among the new subjects. It, like the Science work, has been fitted to each shop. This has, to date, been carried farther for the electric and plumbing shop boys than for o l hcrs tjut all Math is. being rewritten on this plan.

Kayes One hundred and nine t n: The C ' hart WHAT TECH MEANS TO ME POST GRADUATE While I was attending Tech I had a deep affect- ion and fierce loyalty for it. Now, a year later, I find that I also have a great respect for the school. This is because, having entered on my business career the training I received at Tech has been tested and has not been found wanting. Of course, the fondest memories I have of Tech are the happy times that wove color into the dull routine of every day school. I realize now that it ' s by routine we accomplish things. And, viewed from a year ' s perspective, the routine is v ell planned and closely knit. I ' ve found that out. Training means everything to a business career. In a busy office there ' s no room for a careless or slip-shod worker. Accuracy and speed are the most important factors in the work I am doing, and Tech trained me well. On the staff of teachers, I found teachers who were more than friends. They stimulated my mind and built up my self-reliance. I will always be grate- ful for their guidance. And I ' ll always be glad I went to Tech. Marie Adams ' 29 I think the Technical High School is a fine school to attend if a person wishes to master the trade he has picked to make his living in the com- mercial world. This school has done good to many who have attended her to learn a trade. To-day Tech has graduates working in machine shops, electric shops, pattern shops and etc., who have served their apprenticeship and are making good at it. Their training was obtained at Tech.
