THE CHART 1937 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS THE HAMMOND TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOL HAMMOND, INDIANA FOREWORD HE old order is yielding To the new day. May this book ' truly reflect Our hope for the new era, The forward looking spirit of H.T.V. S. And the ambition of our Alma Mater For greater service. Clarence A. Mason Secretary Claude C. Sohl President Elmer McKay Clarence A. McYey Treasurer THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION L. L. CALDWELL Superintendent THE THEME THE OLD and THE NEW M ANY years ago the young men were students of the great peda- gogues and listened to the stores about the gods and to the songs of the minstrels. If they became tired they quietly left the audience and nothing was said about their queer behavior because that was the custom of the time. Sometimes they heard about the stars, about mathematics, about soldiers, and about the laws of the land. Only the rich were afforded this opportunity to learn. Only the rich had the pleasure which the contact with others can bring to youth. • Today, students go to their schools to learn, but there have been many changes. Girls also attend classes and have equal chances to study. Rich and poor work side by side in a classroom. No longer do pupils sit idly listening to tales of adventure and lazily dreaming of past glories. Today ' s students are learning to live. Today ' s youth learns how to make the most of the present and dreams of what is to be in the future. They are alive, eager, responsive searching and probing a world that requires a quick mind to keep pace with the rapid changes. • In 1919 Tech was founded. This was the beginning in Hammond of the vocational type of school, the purpose of which was to put young people out into the world well equipped in the skills required in the trades, the office, and the home. It was a little place this first school poorly equipped, one teacher, and one pupil; but, it had ambitions, hopes, fore- sight, and dreams. Tech grew — an addition to the building, fifty teach- ers, one thousand pupils, but never did it lose the dreams it cherished. • Tech of the future visions a large new building, spacious grounds, ade- quately equipped shops and classrooms in keeping with the demands of this industrial community. Tech of the future will provide a gymnasium and auditorium to care for the physical and cultural development of the young men and women who will build a still newer community. • As the present becomes the past and the future becomes the present, Tech ever strives to keep pace with this changing world. By Pauline Neiman FRED S. BARROWS DEDICATION T O one whom we admire and respect, who always worked with the inter- est of the student in mind, whose work made the present school possible, Mr. Fred S. Barrows, Director of the school from 1919 to 1936, the Class of 1937 dedicates this Chart. FACULTY Mary Ahlbom Clerk Glenna L. Dietrich Clothing Harold J. Askren Related Science Kathryn M.

See a small and timid freshman Ever curious, tight with fear. Gradually the lights grow brighter As the years slip ever on Like the sun from out the heavens When the dark of night is gone. Now we rove thru empty classrooms Dreaming of the things we ' ve done, Where as sophomore, junior, senior, Lifelong friendships were begun. And the hallways all are quiet With a great expectant hush Waiting for another session; For another freshman rush.

Nothing But the Truth The Senior play, ' ' Nothing But the Truth ' was presented on April 2, at the Hammond High School Auditorium, under the able casting and directing of Miss Kathryn Dunn. Bob, a young man, was forced to tell the absolute truth for twenty-four hours or lose ten thousand dollars and his girl friend. Did you ever try tell- ing nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours? You probably discovered that it was anything but an easy job. Many times before the twenty-four hours were up Bob wished he could give in. He hurt the feelings of many people, and nearly wrecked a happy home; however, when the time was up, he immediately began to lie in such a convincing manner that everyone believed him. The play ended with Bob winning the money and the girl, and everyone entirely happy. Bob Bennett was characterized by Harold Ritthaler, who did a fine job, and Jeanette Klensman was very good as his sweetheart, Gwen Ralston. Her girl friend, Ethel Clark, was capably portrayed by Gertrude Beck. Bill Standford was the perfect big business man, and Betty James made an ideal wife for Bill; while Kelly Carlson was quite natural as Dick, one of Ralston ' s partners. The roles of Mabel and Sable, two show girls were excellently handled by Marie Mihalso and Lotte Schischka. Quiet little Angeline Hopp was very well cast as the maid. Ervin Littman surprised everyone with his performance as the Bishop Duren. The comedy was carried by Carl Bjork- lund as Van Duessen, a slick business man. ' He bested me in your house! I want my seven thousand dollars.

The purpose of the club was to promote school activities and urge student attendance at all productions. The Tech Booster is almost entirely a student project. Volunteers managed the paper, mimeographed it, supplied most of the news, acted as sales agents in nearly all advisories and secured enough student sub- scribers to finance the entire cost of the protect. Mr. Paschen, English in- structor acted as clearing-house agent and supervised the work. The paper tried to develop school spirit. It kept all the students informed about all school activities and helped boys and girls to get better acquainted with one another.

First flid This year has seen the beginning of a first aid course open to junior and senior boys and organized for the threefold purpose as stated by the American Red Cross. 1. To develop safety-mindedness . 2. To learn to recognize the nature and extent of an injury. 3. To be able to know what to do and what not to do for an injured person. Juniors and seniors primarily were enrolled because it was felt that they would be able to use their knowledge immediately upon entering into jobs in industry. The course of instruction given was the standard Red Cross course, the same as was offered to the city firemen and policemen and re- quired by many industries for men in responsible positions. In the first semester two classes met two days each week, one for the morning shops, the other for afternoon shops. Approximately 40 boys were enrolled, of which number 20 received their Red Cross Certificates. Those receiving certificates prepared a practical demonstration and presented it before the Junior Red Cross Council and then again before the student body in two assemblies. Both programs were well received. The second semester, only one class was offered, and because of extra- curricular activities, was limited in enrollment. It is too early to foresee how many will be qualified as first aid men but probably half of the class will receive certificates. Upper Corner: — How would you like to be behind the bars? First Aid practices up a bit. The Band- On its way to the Hammond High — Tech Game . Wilbert — Takes a peak. Especially Posed for The Chart As they look in the nurses ' office. Lower Comer: — Me, my brother and my dog. Wilbert — All dressed up. Resting after strenuous work taking the dime pictures. The Glee Club Among the various organizations of the school is the Glee Club con- sisting of 60 voices. They have appeared at the Hammond Woman ' s Club, on Tech band concerts, and have furnished programs of their own. This year the girls are wearing new uniforms, gold blouses and brown tailored skirts. This uniform, in Tech colors, adds to the effectiveness of the organization. The Triple Trio represents the Club whenever it is imposssible for the entire group to go. The members are: Soprano — Jean Hurst, Gertrude Beck, Ruth Shobe or Eileen Boland: Second Soprano — Elsie Lundewall, Edith Locke, Jean Carroll: Alto - — Sophie Dremonas, Gertrude Gargano, Geraldine Busch. When a still smaller group is wanted, the Trio — Jean Hurst, Edith Locke, and Geraldine Busch are called upon. All these three groups have the assistance of Lois Kuyper and Jeanette Reed, pianists.

Al- though the organizations of the differ ent countries are not connected, they do work in harmony with the International Red Cross Committee whose headquarters are in Geneva. The Red Cross organizations of all countries but Turkey use a Red Cross on a white background as their emblem. Turkey, a Moham- medan nation, uses a red crescent because the cross is the emblem of the The Red Cross Christian religion to which the Mohammedans are bitterly opposed. The Junior Red Cross was organized during the World War to give school children a chance at war service. The Junior organization has been continued as a permanent department of the Red Cross and now maintains a program for peacetime service. Girl Reserves Sponsor Mary K. Reeves Directors Mrs. Olive S.

A. introduced a new type of help for needy high school pupils, a chance for them to work their way through school. Previous to the establishment of the N. Y. A. only private and local public agencies aided worthy boys and girls who were unable to pay their school expenses. The aid was in the form of grants for which no work was required. Parent-Teacher Associations and Township Trustees accepted much of the responsibility for helping pupils through school. With the establish- ment of the N. Y. A., additional aid was made available for those unable to attend school even with normal sacrifice and local aid. Pupils receiving N. Y. A. aid during the past year were required to work for the money they received. N. Y. A. pupils earned up to $54.00 for the school year by working at various jobs in their school environment. Students receiving the aid were required to show genuine need of finan- cial assistance. Almost 60 per cent of the pupils receiving aid came from families on relief rolls. The other pupils, while not from relief families, con- vinced school officials of their need for Federal assistance to enable them to stay in school. N. Y. A. pupils were not allowed to do work which otherwise would have been done and paid for out of local school funds. SAFETY COUNCIL SAFETY Safety instruction plays an important part in the life of all students at Tech. This work is given with a two fold purpose in view, first: to develop habits of safety in the student, and second: to gradually form, a safety conscious attitude which will stay with the student when he leaves school. Special emphasis is placed on shop safety, as all boys are enrolled in shop classes. Shop safety is carried on through the work of the Students ' Safety Council, composed of twenty shop representatives selected by the shop in- structors. Through the efforts of the council, safety discussions are held, shop hazards are removed, and methods of doing jobs safely are taught. Driving Safety is taught in Tech as a regular course prescribed by the state department. The school boy patrol unit of sixteen boys, most of whom served prev- liously in grade school units, has done efficient work during the past two years. Other phases of safety, such as home safety, pedestrian safety, and cycling safety, are discussed by the home room instructors during the daily advisory period.

CHESTER ZAROWNY The band was organized in 1927 with about 15 members. Now it has a membership of seventy -one. It was 1930 before band instruction was placed in the school curriculum and credit given for it. The band won its first championship at the Northern Indiana Band Con- test in 1928, as a class D band. In 1931 the band became a class A band. This organization has entered the district and state contests each year and won numerous honors. In 1933 the band went to its first National Contest and placed in the second division. Mr. Robinson became director of our band in 1935, replacing Mr. Hovey who went to George Rogers Clark. This year the band has made many public appearances. It has played at all the home football games, Brooks House, Parades, Commencement Exer- cises and the annual Fall and Spring Concerts. Mr. Askren as business manager helps Mr. Robinson handle the business affairs of the band. The band wishes to thank the Band Parents for sponsoring such activ- ities as dances, card parties and Tag Day. The proceeds of these help to finance the band for the Annual Contest. Class Prophecy ' 37 I am a crystal gazer In the globe I see the future. It is a mist, dim, yet visible. The figures and faces include those of the Tech class of 37. The names I cannot disclose. I see city officials, trained to see the value of work and the worth of the working man. Several of them, formerly working men themselves, have been thus enabled to better understand the problem of the working man. Women are bemg recognized as more prominent leaders, there are women taking over several of the national offices. I see the housewives launched on a campaign to make American homes the best managed homes in the world. Men are also beginning to realize more and more that their co-operation and support is needed before the ob- jective of this campaign can be realized. I see a new out-look in industry. The workers are more closely united. They are working toward a definite goal, rather than toward many vague goals. They realize the vastness of the need of group co-operation. The employers realize that their own welfare depends on the welfare and happi- ness for the welfare of the other fellow. Every city and every country is are enabled to work more harmoniously and thus bring about increased production, and better living conditions among the people. I see a new social order with bonds between nations strengthened and the nations working together to make the world smaller, and its people closer together. Gone is the selfish attitude of nations constantly struggling to obtain more power in the air, on land or water. There is a spirit of unity and oneness which is making people realize the value of working for others and not only for themselves. The countries of the world are devel- oping within themselves this spirit of brotherhood and a sense of watchful- ness for the welfare of the other fellow. Every city and every country is working to create a feeling of friendliness and wisdom, which, when operated on a national basis will automatically bring about the ideal for which they are working. This that I see is not the work of magic but the result of hard work and long training; the working for and toward better living, and constant striv- ing to unite the world in peace and happiness. Any success of man is due to the outcome of the greatest of all teachers — experience. Experience, com- bined with earnest and sincere training during the early years of life, alone can achieve success for the class of ' 37 in the future. Ready for scrimmage.

This means that the sche- dule for next year will be the hardest one that Tech has ever played. Players who are graduating are: William Stanford, three letter man and captain of the team, and one of the best tackles that ever played for Tech; Louis Hegedus, a speedy half back playing his first year on the var- sity; Carl Bjorkland, end on the varsity for two years; Elmer Ahrendt, a hard working tackle who played two years on the varsity, has also completed his foot ball competition. Louis Gerdich, playing his first year on the varsity as guard; Herbert Motley who played three years as quarter back, but was out most of this season with a knee injury; Ira Mabin, who played two years on the varsity as half back; Ted Myszak, a reserve end who got into many games and played good ball. Players returning for the 1937 season to Coach Wilson are: Captain elect Franklin Green, Milton Stanford, Sigmond Francis, Russell Kelly, Tony Farina, John Krizman, William Hipp, Morris Van Vleet, Carl Fandrie, Jesus Vega and Andy Golarz. Other promising players likely to find places on the team are: Arnold Ross, Neil Kline, Frank Meinzer, David Kendall, Earl Muller, Ralph Woo ley, Eugene Hayes, John Kowalski and Frank Fomal. Tech ' s team for 1937 will probably be the biggest and heaviest team that ever played for Tech but they will also have the toughest schedule.

BASKETBALL 1936-37 The Tech Tigers enjoyed a good season under the direction of Coach Birkett, by winning nine and losing eight. Tech started out slowly, but they developed gradually. The high light of this season was the defeat that the Tigers handed Hammond High, the team that went to the finals in the regional tournament at Logansport. In the East Chicago sectional tournament, Tech drew Hammond High and was defeated 26 to 18 in a well played game. Captain Davis played consistent basketball all season, and will be missed next season. Buster Motley, who also played outstanding basketball, was the Tiger ' s best ball handler and will be missed in next year ' s squad. Hegedus and Dobrowolski are the other seniors who have played their last game for Tech. Tech will have three regulars to start next year ' s team, Milt Stanford, Ed Gorski, and John Kucer. Two reserves, Tony Argus and Andy Golarz, will also return. Hammond Tech enters the Big 17 Conference next season.
