Barrows DIRECTOR Page Twelve As a captain who has piloted his first ship safely through its voy- age and back home again, is proud, so is Mr. Barrows proud, and rightly may he be for the smooth sailing his “ship” has had under his direction. Due to serious illness which developed late in December, Mr. Barrows was forced to discontinue his work for the remain- der of the year. We want him to know that we have missed our pilot.

Never before in the fall, have I noticed so much the freshnessof growing green things. Of course not, and it isn ' t green grass, it’s a new group of Freshies. That was what the teachers and upper classmen thought when we came to Tech in September, 1932. Yes, we were Freshies, green as grass, maybe, but rarin’ to go. We were ready to start up that ladder of success. Our Freshman year was very interesting. There were so many things to learn and to see that it passed very quickly. During our Sophomore year we enjoyed watching the new Freshmen come in and we saw how we had looked to our upper classmen. We were very much at ease and could work much more effectively after the strangeness of our first year wore off. We could even work the teachers , — just a little. Our third year we had to fight hard for a Junior meeting. Our sponsors, Miss Eastwood and Mr. Cromwell, helped us do our Junior duty toward the Seniors of 1935. Our Junior-Senior Prom was one of the nicest parties the school ever had. We had a fire drill one fine day and every boy and girl did his best to get the building cleared in sixty seconds. We were filing back in when suddenly we were rushed out again. Why? Because there actually was a fire in the store room of the Plumbing Shop. One of the boys, against all rules of safety, lit a match which ignited oakum, a substance which ignites as easily as gun powder, causing flames to spread quickly. Whew! What a close one that was . Seniors! We ' ve actually climbed one rung in our ladder to success. There are many more to climb before we are at the top but with the inspiration of youth it will be done. Our Seniors have taken an active part in all school organizations. In the Band there were eighteen; Glee Club, eighteen; Athletics, six; Junior Red Cross, twenty; Girl Reserves, fourteen; and Drama Club, seven . Page Thirty The Seniors of 1936 are from various schools. Nineteen came from Lafayette; fourteen from Irving; thirteen from Morton; eight from Washington; eight from Maywood; seven from St. Casimirs; seven from St. Joseph’s; four from Wilson; three from St. John ' s; three from St. Mary’s; two from All Saints; and one from George Rogers Clark. There are sixteen from out-of-town Junior High Schools. We wish to thank our sponsors, Miss Eastwood and Mr. Cromwell, Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Barrows, the faculty, and our parents, for such a glorious four years of high school. We have had many hours of fun and enjoyment along with our work. We hope the coming Senior classes can say they have had as much pleasure here at Tech as we have had .

At that time there were only eight boys enrolled. The number has steadily increased until there are now approximately twenty-five. This group of boys practices twice a week during the ninth period and because it is not yet a part of the school program, they do not get credit for their work. In spite of this, the boys are very enthusiastic about the club and its activities. This year the Glee Club was in an operetta, Walk The Plank given to encourage Tech spirit and loyalty. They also sang at a band concert given at the Masonic Temple. At a recent meeting the club elected the following officers: President Secretary-T reasurer Librarian Assistant Librarian Ervin Liftman George Ligus Harry O’Hara Jerome Grenda Row One Mrs. Wa Iker , Sponsor ; Zelman Atwood, Gilbert Behling, Henry Berda , Chester Czohara, Roland Evans, James Fox, Alex Franyi, Merrill Grady, Jerome Grenda.

Our Glee Club to the left you see, to music all inclined; A gayer group of carolers in weeks you could not find. At clubs, conventions, churches, are these lassies asked to sing, And always for their offerings, we hear the praises ring. Oh, many pretty girls there are, in this half-hundred, ten, Who’ll sing at any time you ask, for ladies or for men; And if, on Friday afternoon, a good show you would see, Their amateur performances would fill your heart with glee. This page will also show you the Ensemble, tried and true. A group of nine, whose voices sweet make old tunes all sound new. And they are for engagements where the room you cannot find To let the Club of sixty girls sing out its tuneful mind. Then, too, we have the Trio fair, with voices three, so sweet That e’en the birds would hesitate with them to dare compete. And o’er the air this trio sang, at station’s own request. Of all the singers in the club, their harmony is best. These groups have done their very best foryou throughout this year, At Christmas time they caroled gay to bring to you good cheer, And with Director Walker worked up to Commencement Day A Fa re-Thee-We 1 1 , in music, to the Seniors dear to say. Hence, to the Glee Club of our school, we dedicate this page; Ruth Walker, their director gay, whose humor none can gage; To Eleanor Cole, the pianist, whom we’ll feel lost without; And all the friends who aided them along their tuneful route. Page Fifty-nine Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club at Tech was started again after several years of inactivity. The new interest began after Theodore Grummer , George Ligus, Louis Lively, Raymond Sitton and Mr. Sampson returned from the older Boys Conference held at Anderson, Indiana during the Thanksgiving vacation. Eleven boys answered the first invitation to attend a meeting as guests of the Hammond High School Organization. Since that small beginning the Hi-Y has taken into its member- ship nineteen boys . A group from Hammond High met at Tech the first of March to install the following officers: James Reed President George Ligus Vice-President Carl Evans Secretary Raymond Sitton Treasurer Mr. R. A.

The club meets each Friday evening from seven to nine o ' clock and at these meetings technical problems of aviation are dis- cussed. A definite interest is developing since the club was first organized, three years ago. This spring the boys will hold a contest for flying models. Plans are under way to enter one of the meets in the Chicago area. A trip is to be made to Marshall Field and Company when their annual display of model planes is held.

William Stanford, Milton Stanford, Frank Green, John Milanec, John Dobrowolski.Basket Ball Although only half of their eighteen games were victories, the Tigers ' season in basketball for 1935-36 was a big success. A victory over Hammond High’s Wildcats gave the Tigers a city championship for the first t ime in years . When Bindas, Stack, Peters, Hayworth and Chartos pounded the floors under the Brown and Gold colors, our last city champion- ship was won, and this year the fighting Tech quintet did it aga in . Only one man returned from last year’s squad, and at the start of the season, the job of building a club to compete with the more experienced teams of the region made Coach Kessler’s task a difficult one. But by developing the fighting spirit of the boys, K essler groomed them into one of the hardest playing teams that has taken the floor under the Tiger colors. The hardest fought and most exciting game of the campaign came in the tournament when the Tigers matched baskets with Roose- velt’s Roughriders. An overtime period was necessary to finish this game. It closed with the Tigers holding the upper hand. This put them in the quarter-finals of the tourney. Hammond High was the next opponent, but the Tigers, weakened from the Rider’s game, could not match the Wildcats. They closed the season and tourney play with ten victories against ten losses, thus keeping their average at .500, Page Sixty-seven FIRST TEAM TECH OPP.

It started in 1927 with less than fifteen members, practicing three times a week after school, and now has a membership of sixty-five. It wasn’t until 1930 that band instruction was placed in the curriculum and school credit given for it. In 1928, the band won its first championship at the Northern Indiana Band Contest. At this time the organization was a class D band. Since 1931 the band has been a class A band. This organization has entered the district and state contests each year and won numerous honors. The year 1930 is remembered by all, for it was in this year that the band was able to change from their brown capes to their fine brown and gold military uniforms. This progress, however, could not have been possible had it not been for the capable direction of Mr. Hovey. The school is grateful to him for giving it the wonderful band it now has. In the fall of 1935, Mr. Hovey was transferred to George Rogers Clark School and Mr. Robinson, formerly Mr. Hovey ' s ass istant , has taken his place. Mr. Robinson is a graduate of De Pauw University, and has had extensive experience in both band and orchestra work. This year the band has made many public appearances. They have played at many of the basketball and football games, Brooks House, and for Commencement exercises as well as giving their fall and spring concerts. After seeing the capable way in which Mr. Robinson has taken over his new duties, everyone is confident that our band will make as much progress in years to come as it has in the past.

Fa rewe II, Tech ! should have made when Page Eighty-one Home Making The related courses in Home Making consist of Family Relations, Home Management, and Household Mechanics. These courses have a practical value because they give the girls training which is use- ful to them nowashelpersin the home and wh ich will be necessary to them as wives and mothers in homes of their own. The object of the Home Making training is to give the girls an understanding and appreciation of the fact that the making of a real home, where the woman achieves for her family and herself the greatest measure of health, happiness, and success, offers a woman an opportunity for the greatest service to mankind. In the first course called Family Relations, offered to all 9A girls they are taught ways and means by which members of a family can live together happily. This includes the need for cooperation, fair play, unselfishness, and an appreciation of the viewpoint of others. This helps them to adjust themselves to the circumstances of their own home and to be more congenial members of the family. The course includes a unit in Child Training. This deals with emotions, such as fear, anger, jealousy, and hate, and also the causes of lying and stealing. It shows how to prevent undesirable reactions and how to develop desirable habits of behavior, so that the young child can develop a stable emotional life and be able to adjust himself to the circumstances of I i fe . In Home Management classes, the 10A girls are taught to be thrifty by budgeting the income so that there is enough money for each group of expenses, with some margin for saving. They plan balanced meals, learn how to eliminate accidents in the home, how to use their time to the best advantage, how to cut down on household expenses, and how to get the most for their money when buying groceries, dry goods, household furnishings, and clothing. Instruction is given on how to make a home attractive. The girls study some fundamental principles of interior decoration, such as color and its use in the home, what type of furniture to select, and how to arrange furniture in groups so that the home has a friendly appearance and an air of welcome. Page Eighty-five Household Mechanics, the third course, includes the wiring of electrical attachment plugs, iron plugs, and electrical sockets, rep lac ing worn gaskets in faucets, replacing burned out fuses, proper placing of food in a refrigerator, the firing of a stove or furnace, the cleaning and sizing of rugs, and the refinishing of furniture. In fact, it includes information concerning a great deal of the most necessary housework and how it can be done efficiently with the least possible time and labor. The girls learn how to use and care for some common tools and mechanical devices. This helps them to overcome a tool shy or machine shy feeling, and develops confidence in meeting new situations. In addition to the regular work included in the Home Making Courses, there are many references on all types of home work which have been filed and catalogued and made available to the student. Thus any problem concerning work which arises at home can be looked up in these references, so that the course can really serve the families of the girls enrolled. The aim of the department is not only to help the girls during the semester in class, but also to give aid and suggestions with the help of references, during the entire time they are enrolled in the school. Page Eighly-seven Our Cafeteria In our Technical High School Cafeteria, which is located on the third floor, the girls learn how to prepare and serve meals, how to balance diets, and how to keep the kitchen clean and sanitary. During the semester every girl is given the opportunity to work on each job assignment. The work is divided into the following assignments: dessert cook, salad cook, meat cook, meat substitute cook, sandwich maker, vegetable cook, soup and beverage cook, stockroom clerk, counter clerks, and housekeeper.- Each assignment is for a period of one week . The cafeteria serves lunches to about one thousand boys and girls each day. The food is prepared in the cafeteria kitchen by the girls who are taking this course. This gives the girls an opportunity to study quantity cookery and the use of restaurant- size equipment. Special banquets are also served by the cafeteria girls, such as the May Day Breakfast and faculty dinners. More and more girls are realizing the need for special training for home economics wage-earning positions and are adding cafeteria to their high school course. The aim of the cafeteria is to serve wholesome, nutritious food to the student body at a reasonable cost, to train girls for positions in public restaurants and lunchrooms, and for home service emp loyment . Page Eighty-nine Boy’s Shop DRAFTING SHOP Drafting, the universal language, offers the students machine design and architectural and topographical drawing. Work in this shop develops the ability to express and illustrate ideas on paper as well as to read and interpret blue prints. MACHINE SHOP The machine shop course is outlined to hold the boy ' s interest, teach him to think for himself, and prepare him so that he can use his machine shop knowledge for vocational purposes. AUTO SHOP This shop interests many boys. It gives them an opportunity actually to work with tools on automobiles, and to learn the how and why of the automobile trade. SHEET METAL SHOP The object of this shop is to give the boys an opportunity to learn the use ofthe more common hand tools and the hand-operated machines of the sheet metal trades. This embraces some work in the trade of the tinsmith, the steel cabinet maker, the auto body maker and the airplane mechanic. ' A course in art metal and jewelry is contemp lated . Page Ninety ELECTRIC SHOP This shop is divided into two groups. The first group learns the elementary work of electricity, such as the fundamentals of wiring and principlesof electrical theory. The second group is given work on generators, motors and controls, transformers, and radio work. WELDING AND FORGE SHOP This shop offers a variety of general metalwork. The boys learn to work with iron and steel, both hot and cold. They learn heat treatment of steel, including case-hardening, self-hardening, and the use of oil and water. Boys in the welding department learn to weld steel, iron, cast iron, and sheet metal. They learn to silver solder and braze such metals as steel, brass, copper, and monel, and also to flame cut steel plates and bars. The shop has turned out metal furniture and equipment for shops and playground. It is probable that electric arc welding will be added next year . PLUMBING SHOP The plumbing shop teaches the boys the general work a plumber has to do on the job. Some of the things are; how to figure the lengths of pipe correctly, how to caulk soil pipe joints, how to wipe lead joints, and how to do steam fitting. We are now in- stalling a place for the boys to learn to repair faucets. Boys are allowed seven semesters in plumbing and are then expected to take one semester In welding. After a boy finishes hisplumbing course, he is qualified as a beginner in this type of work. Page Ninety-one WOOD SHOP The wood shop offers courses in the fundamentals of wood con- struction, with emphasis on the correct handling and operation of tools and power driven machines. The occupations for which training is given are chiefly in the fields of cabinet making, pattern making, and mill work. £3SGf3?Oi.aK iNY MAN WHO HAS A JOB HAS A CHANCE ww C btrt Hubbard , ' ,if£U3 a jaTi Page Ninety-two The Advertisers Represented i n The Following Pages are Our Friends Let Us Give Them Our Business Page Ninety-three odie Bi Your photographer extends his T best wishes to each and every member o£ the Class o£ ’36 The Colonial John H.
