Elmer and Manson are portly middle- aged men— well groomed; well-kept; and at the present reclining at ease; about to hobnob. It’s the Year 1960. You’re given this much, now follow it through.

You know, Elmer, we ought to take a vacation. Here we are working ourselves into an early grave and we never take a rest What if we are co-presidents of the Naugle and Radloff Banana Oil Refineries, that constitutes success, not longer life. Elmer: Guess you’re right, old boy. Let’s take a car and start out to see all of our old chums from Tech. Drop in on each one and surprise them. Eh? Fourteen Manson: Now that’s an idea! Of course, we’ve kept pretty close tab on each one, but it’ll bs a splendid chance for a rest. Who’ll we see first? Elmer: Wait till I take a look at my list here. (Reaches in desk and pulls out paper) I’ve always kept an account of each one. Let’s see how many we can remember. Manson: Well, there’s MANFORD WORLEY, He’s the best monkey trainer Ringling Bros, ever had. His circus is in New York now, isn’t it? A Day at the circur will give us a good start— make us young again you know. Elmer: Yes, and JAMES MILLER is known as a daredevil who will under-take anything. He’s in New York now painting the roof of the new 300 story building. Manson: EDITH CAMPBELL married JOHN BALKO. He is a great soap manufacturer in Germany. We’ll have to use an airplane to get to them. Elmer: No, they are in Florda on a vacation now. ARNOLD DEMIK and JOHN HINKLE have become famous due to their invention of a combined golf and moth ball. They are in Flordia too, so we’ll see them altogether. Manson: ELEANOR UZDANOVICZ is head nurse at the Charleston State Cat and Dog Hospital. We must see her. Elmer: WALTER SCHMAL is over in Sweden trying to further Einstein’s Theories. Manson: Every one knows that the success of the great Yale checker teams is largely due to the crafty coaching of JOHN GALAMBOS. Elmer: That boy was clever in his day. ANNA SLANAC! Seems to me she’s conducting experiments to find whether radishes grown upside down have a better flavor than upright ones. Personally I prefer the up- right. Manson: JOHN VANDERTUCK is gaining fame as a designer of doll’s clothes. Elmer: DOROTHY DOLSKI conducts a boarding house for lonely teachers in New York. Great Place, I hear. Wonder if any of Tech’s teachers are there. nice, didn’t it? Elmer: It certainly did. ANNABELLE MUNSTER and VIRGINIA WARD are conducting a chain of Beauty Shops in New York, they say their marcels are wonderful. Remember how we used to kid John Galambos about hi s natural wave. Manson: You know I never did really get the straight of that. GRACE ELKINS and ELIZABETH CHAR- TOS are taking a rest after exerting themselves to get the Thirteen-Months-To-A-Year-Act pas- sed. They are at Los Angeles now. Elmer: Say, I didn’t tell you I saw RALPH HUTCHINSON the other night at my favorite night club. He was doing a lightning tap dance. Increasing age hasn’t bothered him. Manson: I saw ELEANOR SCHAUER and ALMA MIDGET at the Palace the other night. They were playing saxaphones in a woman’s band. Elmer: But speaking of music, let’s go to Cedar Rapids, CHUCK LABARRE gives instructions on wind instruments in his own studio there. Manson: Fine! I always knew he’d be a successful musician. CLARENCE LARSON is knowi� as the world’s greatest barber, isn’t he? Elmer; Uh-huh! He is in Pittsburgh now. HELEN JABAAY is matron at an orphanage in Nebraska. We mustn’t miss her— wonder if she still plays her cornet. Manson: By the way we haven’t heard of DALE AMAMS for a long time, what is he doing? Elmer: He’s scouring the country looking for bigger and better signs to paint. I though he wanted to be a draftsman, but wise people change their minds, I guess. Manson: ROBERT BEATTIE is still in Hammond as its best detective. Elmer: WALTER GRACZYK and EARNEST HARRISON are famous glass blowers of Charleston. I never thought they could do any- thing like that. Elmer: Well, that’s seventy-six. There’s one more (looks at list) EDWARD DIPPLE where is he? Manson: He’s sailing the briny seas — happy as only a sailor can be. Elmer: Well,, that’s all. Let’s get the details arranged. Come on. (Standing up.) Boy what a trip we’ll have. Manson: That’s enough out of you, (Laughs) proceed. Let’s see, STEVE BARON just finished a quite novel Manson: And how! Let’s get going— invention— an ultraviolet ray hair This will be a long round and we curler. His hair always did look mustn’t neglect our work too long. Fifteen Manson: You know our 1931 class has stuck pretty close together haven’t they? Elmer: I’m glad of that, it makes me feel good. After all, old friends are the best. ROWENA DINES is an aviatrix, she’s in Colorado now. Manson: TED MAJEWSKI, JOHN STEVENSON and PAUL LITT- MAN are Tooth Paste Manu- facturers. They have a beautiful building in Seattle. Elmer: Do you remember ALICE SAMIDE? Manson: How could I forget her. She is ' the first woman to be the secretary for a president of the U. S. Elmer: Well that’s 32. Gee! there are 45 more. Manson: Well, there is CHARLES SMITH he’s the golf champion for the state of New York. Elmer: ELLIOTT JOHNSON achieved his lifelong ambition when he went west to be a cowboy, didn’t he? I saw him in the Rodeo in Chicago last fall. He was the crowds hero. Manson: I was sorry I had to miss that, but you know! BOB MOSELEY is a high pressure sales- man for some ginger ale concern. He was in here this morning and sold me two case s of ginger ale. That fellow has plenty of money, but he just keeps on working. Says that it is what keeps him young. Elmer: IVADELLE MUELLER and ALICE JONES are nurses at the Mercy Hospital in Gary. Manson: BEULAH HESTER is doing some wonderful work for the Red Cross at Washington D. C. Elmer: JACOB HEIM is giving a series of brilliant lectures on the reconstruction of Air Castles. He’ll be in Chicago next month. Manson: BRUNO FOLTA has retired after winning the honor of the world’s light weight championship. He is in France living near Monte Carlo. Elmer: I don’t guess we will get to see MARGARET GANGARD and RUTH NEWHALL because they are taking a trip around the world. Manson: HAROLD METCALF is • a Missionary in Africa, and HILTON BENNINGOFF is a wonderful almost anything, Remember his part in “Stop Thief” our Senior Play. Those were the good old days weren’t they? Elmer: CARL MARX is an English Ambassadore, they expect the king to Knight him soon. HARRY STRINGHAM is an Interior Decorator and has the contract for Marx new house in London. Manson: ELEANOR THONE is grow- ing Christmas trees in Wisconsin for all Freshmen Christmas parties in the U. S., quite a successful business I guess. I hear Tech gets Sixteen about a hundred a year from her now. Elmer: I saw a picture of her in the paper the other day. LUELLA DAUMER isMivector of an Orphans home at Spri g-fj ld, 111. Manson: T(5NY MERLO is Manager of the Drop-In tt©kal-in Chicago. He was down here -Sunday— still the same old Tony. Elmer: EUGENE MfJ.HOLLAND is a Herald Examiner reporter isn’t he? } Manson: He writes about thjrGang Wars etc. Did you read the story in last month’s True Story thaf JULIUS BOGNAR wrote about GERTY HARTKE? It told all about her experience driving a race car. Some places in the story would just make your hair raise. I think they are both in Mexico now. Elmer: ROSE HARTMAN is an actress in New York. Manson: Yes, and HAZEL LONG has retired after making a success as comedian for the movies. Elmer: HELEN HATTEN and VIOLA SANDERS are competing against each other to determine who will be the best U. S. Bowler. I hope we will get to Utah in time to see them. Manson: BY DAVIS and GAIL GRAGIDO made names for themselves by being coaches for the N. Western University football team. Elmer: I always thought they would do something like that. DELBERT DOMINICK is in S. Caroline, he is a famous parachute jumper. Manson: HELEN N ATKIN is a crystal gazer. She is in Indianapolis. Elmer: CATHERINE KRIZMANIO ' is also at Indianapolis. She is City Treasurer. .; Manson: RUTH WESTCOTT and EMMA ROSENAU are running a dancing academy in Hollywood. They specialize in spring dances. I heard that RUTH FESS wanted to go into business with them. Elmer: Uh, Huh! ANNA BECK is a wonderful Opera Singer. We will have to go and hear her tomorrow. She will be at the Grand Opera.

Eighteen Senior Play “Stop Thief” presented Thursday and Friday, March 13 and 14, 1931 8:00 P. M. Synopsis : Act I Living room in the Carr residence Act II and III Living room in the Carr residence the same day. Characters in the order in which they appear Joan Carr Alice Samide, Alma Midget Mrs. Carr Virginia Ward, Edith Campbell Caroline Carr Margaret Gangard Madge Carr — Ruth Westcott, Catherine Krizmanic Nell, the maid Hazel Long, Rose Hartman Mr. Carr Paul Littman James Cluney John Marince Mr. Jamison Elmer Radloff Dr. Willoughby Hilton Benninghoff Rev. Mr. Spelvin James Miller Mr. Doogan Steve Baron Detective Thompson John Balko The Sergeant Richard Kiser Officer O’Malley Karl Marx Officer Casey Walter Graczyk The Senior Class presented, “Stop Thief”, a farce-comedy, to a large and a pleased audience both nights in the Technical High School auditorium. The play, chosen for its comedy and humour, gave some of the seniors and a post-graduate the chance to display their talents for acting. Two casts of girls were selected to compete for the final performance, but both casts were doing well and Mr. Paschen let them both perform. The story takes place in Providence, Rhode Island. It is the wedding day of James Cluney and Madge Carr. Unsuspected things began to disappear — jewelry for instance. James Cluney owns that probably he takes the things unintentionally, for he might be a kleptomaniac, an inheritance over which he has no control. Later it is found out, w r ith the help of the detectives, that it is the maid and the private detective, a thief, that Mr. Cluney hired to watch him, that took all the things and planted them on the individuals of the family. After the mystery is cleared, the ceremony is performed and as usual they “live happily ever after.” The play was coached by Mr. A. J. Paschen. Miss F. Lawler and Miss E. A. Sinden assisted in making up the characters. Nineteen CLASSES Twenty Twenty Two Twenty-thr � Mis Rogers: — Can you serve company?” Estoria May: — “Yes’m. Either way.” Miss Rogers: — “Either way?” Estoria May: — “Yes’m. So’s they’ll come again, or so’s they won’t.” Russell White: — “I heard a new one yesterday. I wonder if I told it to you?” Helen Natkin: — “Is it funny?” Russell White:— “Yes.” Helen Natkin: — “Then you haven’t.” Gerty H.: — “Why, in my town, the people are so rich the horses have checks.” Helen: — “That’s nothing, in my town the people are so wealthy they wash their dishes in Gold Dust.” “I hear she only has hair on one side of her head.” “No foolin!” Yeah, on the outside.” Hilton Benninghoff: — “What are you doing with your socks on wrong side out?” Manford Worley: — “My feet got hot and I turned the hose on them.” Roadside Gipsy: — “I am a seer. I can see far ahead.” Mr. Holloway: — “Do you see any parking space?” Eleanor: — “I hear your boy friend wants to settle down and get a home.” Gerty: — “Well, he’s got a good start; I gave him the gate last night.” Bob Moseley (At 11 P. M.) :— Did you know I could imitate any bird you can name?” Hazel Blair: — “No, I didn’t. Can you imitate a homing pigeon.” Mr. Cooper: — “Remember the lazy bully who, when he felt tired would order the timid soul to punch him- self in the nose?” Mr. Fuller: — “That’s nothing. I read of a mother today who, when her little boy wouldn’t be good, lifted her head from her couch and said: Willie, go to the vibrator and give yourself a good shaking.” Mr. Hovey’s favorite wisecrack to the band: — “Well, I’m going to let you out early the rest of this week. And a ” Miss Eastwood asked the girls in Business Ethics to keep track of the sleep they got each nigh t for a week. The last day we added it up and after school Helen Jabaay said: “Hey, Gerty, how many hours of sleep did you get in Business Ethics this week?” Hilton Benninghoff: — “May I hold your hand?” Ruth Fess: — “It isn’t heavy; I can manage, thank you.” Mr. Cromwell: — “Johnny, you may tell us how many are two and two.” Johnny G.: — Two and two are four.” Mr. Cromwell: — “That ' s very good, Johnny.” Johnny G.: — “Good! That’s perfect!” Words of Wisdom: — • Many a boy would make an excellent dancer if he would learn to stand on his own feet. Thelma: — “I’m afraid you can’t wait very well, Bill.” Bill : — “No, darling but I surely can intermission.” Never tell an Englishman a joke on Saturday night because he’s liable to laugh out loud in church Sunday morning. Miss Richman: — “What sort of people do you have in your advisory?” Walter Schmal: — “Scotch.” (Trying to sell Annuals.) Mrs. Benson: — “My husband went to church this morning.” Mrs. Upson: — “My husband’s Sunday paper didn’t come either.” Prospective Employer: — “What can you do, boy? John McGroarty : — “Anything, Sir.” Prospective Employer: — Can you wheel a barrow full of smoke?” John McGroarty: — Certainly, sir, if you will fill it.” Alma Midget, on her first visit to a ranch: — “What is that coil of rope for?” Cowboy: — “That rope, lady, is used for catching cattle and horses.” Alma: — “O-oh! and what do you use for bait?” President Tact’s great bulk — he weighed more than three hundred pounds — provoked much good- natured jesting among his friends which he enjoyed to the fullest extent. While he was President he often went horse-back riding in RockCreek Park. Returning one morning after an invigorating canter he sent this message to his friend, Elihu Root, “Just returned from horseback ride and am feeling fine.” Back came the answer, “How is the horse?” On another occasion when President Taft was in swimming at Oyster Bay, the small son of a dear friend asked if he might also go in bath- ing. “Not just now,” replied his father. “President Taft is using the ocean.” Twenty Five MUSIC TvMntV ' tia SENIOR BAND With the issuing of this year’s “Chart”, the Tech High School Band will have completed its most successful year from a standpoint of honors won, engagements played, and actual improvement made thru hours of hard practice. Those who believe that playing in the Tech band is a matter of taking up an instrument and attending band rehearsal a 50 minute period each day, are badly mistaken. Many days around contest time the band rehearsed three times a day averaging over an hour at each rehearsal and still some most energetic pupils were getting in some individual practice at home! This spirit it was that boosted the Tech organization above all but one at the sectional contest at Valparaiso on April 25th. Tech won its first Class A trophy at this contest— the second best “A” band in Northern Indiana. Advance newspaper dope listed Hammond High School as a first place band and Elkhart as a sure second or perhaps even a winner over Hammond. Elkhart and other bands marched on the stage with 1 he finest and newest instruments, and a band numbering from 85 to 100. But expensive instruments and a stage full of band members can’t down 54 of the Tech gang full of fight as they were at this time. A week later the same bunch proved themselves to be the third best “A” band in the state of Indiana and Tech had won its first place in a State Contest. Not that a second or third prize in a state event is such a remarkable achievment. This has been done before— many times— by other bands; but not by bands which three years before had competed in Class D w T ith 31 members, and which four years before had never even existed. As many as fifty outside engagements have been played by the Tech organization this year including everything from sacred concerts in local churches to an appearance at Soldiers Field in Chicago before 75,000 to 100,000 people. These appearances have many benefits for our band. They help “sell” the band to the community of Hammond and in fact the whole district, they give band members a feeling of confidence and assurance when playing in public, they give band members a chance to take trips that are otherwise not usually obtained without charge. Such engagements are rated of more value to an organization, in one sense, than contests such as the band competed in this year. Future bands of the school may do well to follow the example set by the band of ’31. If next years organization goes after their problems with the enthusiasm and sincere effort that this year’s band did, it will undoubtedly go far in district competition as well as make a name for itself as one of the best concert and march bands in the state. Twenty-sevtn Twenty Eight ORCHESTRA 1st Row — Harold Wolf, Inez Mulholland, Luella Tereba, Agnes Nokes, Esther Finkelstein, Ruth Epstein, Iona Linnell, Juluis Vogel, Frances Fryer, Jeanette Kayes, Elizabeth Egyed, Faye O’Brien, Verna Flanigan. 2nd Row — Edward Hanish, Mr. Fuller, Director, Thomas Panian, John Galambos, Edward Nalepa, Dave Gubitz, Walter Jonas, Abraham Mares, Orville Schwingendorf, Joe La Mantia, Tom Clayton, Harold Weidking, Sylvester Marshall, Joe Lesniewski. 3rd Row — Annabelle Munster, Anna Beck, Dale Adams, Hugh Taylor, Florian Kwolak, Alice Steele, Carl Gilberg, Charles La Barre, Eugene Mulholland, Elsie Kish, Olga Blade, Sarah Newman. The Technical High School orchestra is an organization that has grown and progressed rapidly this year. It boasts now of a membership of thirty-eight co-operative individuals, and under the able directorship of Mr. Fuller, a splendid musical organization has been developed. The harmony, intonation, and fullness are remarkable in an organiza- tion of its size, and it is considered a musical asset of which the school might well be proud. The orchestra played for the Senior play, on two occasions at the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church for the “Womanless Marriage”. They also gave several numbers at the P. T. A. Meetings of Morton and Woodrow Wilson Schools. On these programs they received much praise. Practices are held every Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after school, and each member feels that it is his duty to be present at these rehearsals which largely accounts for the success of this organization. Twenty Nine GLEE CLUB Only two classes in vocal music were scheduled the first semester, the Glee Club and a chorus class. These grew the second semester, under the sponsorship of Miss Hederick, to four enthusiastic groups. The Glee Club has been invited to sing at several outside programs and will take an active part in the annual Commencement activities in June. A ' l four classes will have a part in the Hammond Music Festival. The most interesting part of the work done by the two classes during the first semester was their study of folk songs and folk dances of different nations. This culminated the last week of the semester in a delightful assembly program at which the girls presented in costume characteristic songs and dances of several different nations. Many of the costumes were made in the Tech sewing classes. Several parts of this program were repeated later in the Junior Red Cross pageant.

Tech also defeated the stiong Thornton Fractional five who were Suburban League Champs twice, first on Dec. 11, 22-13, then again on Feb. 7, 25-15. Thirty Seven Thirty-eight Baseball Buzzes Hammond Tech baseball nine had a good season although they only won about half their games. This year they had the toughest schedule they ever had, meeting such teams as Washington of East Chicago, champions of the big 17 conference, Thornton of Harvey, one of the best teams in Illinois, and such others as Lowell, Hammond High, Whiting, Chesterton and Pullman Tech. Coach Chet Kessler this year had a young ball team which showed great improvement as the season went along. The pitching staff with Davis, Harbinson, and Balko was good although unexperienced. The infield w r as good with Poracky, who can get them anywhere at first, Gradigo a great little hitter at second, Bognar, one of the best fielding infielders in Lake County, at short, with Mosley at third. The Outfield was McGroarty a great hitter in left, Chartos a good ball hawk in center and either Peters or Miko in right. The catching was well taken care of by Joe Stack, who is one of the best High School catchers in Indiana. He was assisted by Worley who was also used as pinch-hitter. Track Trade Winds Coach Wilson’s track team in 1931 has had the most successful season this sport has known. Due to baseball at Tech there were a few boys who didn’t come out for the sport, but the season has been a success nevertheless. While other schools practised indoors Tech had to wait for warm weather before starting. There were nineteen boys out for Track this year and from this squad there is one man who will not return next year. He is Richard Newland dash and quarter miler. At the conference meet in Hobart, Young, Tech miler was beaten out of first place by a step, then Bill Peters won third in the dashes and shot putt, Frank Kliene also won a second in the broad jump. This is a very commendable showing due to a heavy rain and zero weather. There were Techmen in all of the final events but were beaten out of places by the other schools. Coach Wilson has hopes of winning the conference meet next year with last years team and some freshmen who showed up well in practice. Thirty-nine Forty r SCHOOL SEPTEMBER 8. The first day of school.

I am in dire want. She preventh 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 my- self before my classmates. Yea, tho’ I burneth my light until my mother howleth, Her lesson, her scolding, her tests frighten my wits from me. She assigneth me extra work as punishment in the presence of mine enemies ; She covereth my papers with blue pencil marks; My corrections filleth the whole sheet. Surely lessons, t« ;ts and themes will follow me all the rest of mine High School career— And I will dwell in the Bughouse for- ever. HOW TO KEEP FROM GROWING OLD Have a date with Lindy.

Alma Midget:— Oh, I would have to ask mother,— this is so sudden! Mrs. Kieckheafer:— What is the formula for water? Jibby: — HIJKLMNO Mrs. K.:— That’s wrong! jibby; — Well yesterday you said the formula for water was H to O. When Frances Black pulls the wool over By’s eyes you can hardly blame him for looking sheepish. Forty Five Forty-six THE GIRL RESERVE CLUB OF TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL Thursday, January 15, 1931 marked the beginning of a Girl Reserve Organization in Tech. Everyone realizes the importance of such a renowned international club of distinction. Consequently it is of importance to have such a movement in a school of Tech’s size and constant growth. The purpose of the Girl Reserve Movement is to contribute to those elements in the life of a girl which set free the ideals and cenvictions that help a girl to live- as a girl of her age should live and aid her to put into practice in her community standards of Christian living. It helps a girl grow through normal, natural activities into those habits, insights and ideals which will make her responsible, eager woman, capable and ready to develop and share in those group expressions which are making effective the purpose of God in the world. The symbol of the Girl Reserve is the Blue triangle. The base of it symoblizes Spirit, its two sides are Knowledge and Health. This means that the blue triangle girl is physically fit, is mentally and morally trained. Members of the Girl Reserve of Tech will always be willing to perform acts of kindness and service. They are especially interested in service for the school, for charity organizations and for children’s wards and hospitals. As this is the first time such an endeavor has been made Tech feels sure that in the years to come its Girl Reserves will have done a marvelous work in promoting higher ideals, strength of character, and standards of citizenship. The officers as elected January 15, 1931 are:- President Hazel Long Vice President .. Edith Campbell Secretary Irene Korlin Treasurer Beulah Hester The sponsor is Mrs. Olive Byers and the club advisers are Miss Lucille Whitehead, Mrs. M. M. Kieckheafer, and Miss Mary Lou Rogers.
