Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1945 volume:

— DedicatuM w To our boys and girls who have dedicated their lives to the service of our country, we dedicate this 1945 war-time Chart. As they have freely given that our country might remain the land of freedom, so may we give our services and our lives, if necessary, to perpetuate those ideals of freedom of opportunity which guarantee a better and finer world for those who are to follow — 74e 1 J 1945 Published by the Studen ts of THE HAMMOND TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOL HAMMOND, INDIANA ' Jaxetwnd ★ This is the first annual since the Championship year of 1940. Many things have happened since that April day when the Tech Tigers returned to Hammond wearing the Indiana State Basketball Crown. Preparation for war and finally the war itself demanded a curtailment of many of the regular school activities. Among these casualties was the Chart. We hope you will be pleased with this wartime eei ' ion. We knew it could have been improved. We know it may fall shod of what tome may expect.. Even so the staff is making no apologies. We have given you t v e best book that we have been able to put out under existing condit ons. Read it and cherish it as a pleasant memory of High School days.

But I pause only a moment because I know that our task is not finished. I know that we still face a more terrible conflict in the Pacific which can be won only by renewed sacrifice and courage. 1 am grateful that there are important things that I can do. Buying stamps and bonds, collecting salvage, doing without scarce articles, and staying in school to train myself to be a better citizen — all these mean a sooner and more complete victory for our great country and all peace loving nations. Therefore, I solemnly pledge that I will not forget my duty to my family, my friends, my country, and to all humanity. Benediction Msgr. Mungovan WE BACK VICTORY PAGE THIRTY-SIX PVT.

RUSSELL KMETZ PAGE FORTY PAGE FORTY-ONE loa itty 76 ' CW ' 0 (ac% This is a picture of the football prospects in August 1944. Coaches Carlson, Fuller, Hoemann, and Copt. Krsak are looking over the fifty candidates who have just reported for practice. There are no outstanding stars, in fact, from a distance they look very much alike. Hard work starts immediately, for the first game is only two weeks a way. Some boys develop very fast and are selected as the varsity. Others develop slower and will make the varsity next year. Of course, a few will get discouraged and quit. Several weeks pass and the A squad is selected. These are the boys whose names get in the paper and whose picture in large size appears in the Chart. The coaches particularly wish to commend those boys who have come out to practice regular- ly. Perhaps next year will be their year. PAGE FORTY-TWO 44 Our football team for the season of 1944 was considered by our coaches as one of the best teams Tech ever had. We won three games which is more than any other team has won in ten years. We defeated Hammond High, the second time in twenty-one years. Our best games were against Whiting, whom we defeated, and Mishawaka and E. C. Roosevelt who defeated us. Quite a few of our regulars will return next fall, and we are plan- ning on a better and more spirited team next year. Our schedule for the 1944 season was as fol- lows: tech opponent 13 Whiting 6 T. Fractional 7 H. H. S 7 Clark 14 Tolleston 6 7 6 34 12 tech opponent 6 Froebel 12 Mishawaka - ■ 0 Horace Mann : 6 E. C. Roosevelt 12 33 13 21 PAGE FORTY-THREE TEAM PERSONNEL R. End Bob (Speedy) Samardick Bob was one of our best ends and had a 1,000 percentage in catching passes until he dropped one in the Clark game. R. Tackle Jack (Heavy) Watts Jack was one of our most ambitious tackles. The only thing was he couldn ' t keep his ambition going a full game. Sx R. Guard Paul (P.Y.) Yeager Paul was a hard hitting guard, full of fun and courage. Center Charles (Lover) Klaubo Chuck was one of our best centers and could that boy block. Chuck was the whole spirit of the team in a game. L. Guard Ray (Alkey) Hill Ray was one of the loudest guards on the field in practice but not always in a game. He got the name of alkey from breaking 8 bottles of alcohol. L. Tackle Bob (Moose) Kahle Bob is one of the best-built and one of the best-looking boys on the team. Bob is co- captain for 1945. L. End John (Crow) Krsak Our captain who inspired all of the players. John could really be tough when he wanted to. Q. Back Ben (Snake-hips) Owczarzak Ben was our quickest and best passing quarter-back of ihe season. He was chosen the most outstanding player of the 1944 seaon. L. Half Hubert (Ziggy) Lewis Ziggy was our quick starting, tricky, shifty half back. Ziggy ' s lack of weight helped him get through those holes. Ziggy is also co-captain for 1945. Fullback Glenn (Goosey) Roddan Glenn was one of our bowl ' em over players. You should have seen him in the Mishawaka game. R. Half Warren (Flip) Mauger Warren is very shy and never says much, but he made the gains when we needed them most. These boys started most of the games. Other boys also saw plenty of action on the field. Among these substitutes who came in when the regu- lars needed relief or who came in to carry out special assignments were: R. E. Ray Mauger, R. T. Nick Dowling, R. G. Eugene Le ; bach, C. Bob Martin, L. G. Virgil Hanson, L. T. Eugene Dilbo, L. E. Edward Suroviak, Q. B. Jerry Jefchak, L. H. Jim Morris, F. B. Luke Ratley, R. H. Bill Stiller. PAGE FORTY-FOUR PAGE FORTY-FIV 7( 6 x ire 7 e f... THE RECORD ART LEDWINKA, 6 ' -3 V 2 ' ' , Sophomore, developed rapidly toward the latter part of the season and led the team in scoring. His jump shots and re- bounds made him popular with the crowds. His 31 points against Tolleston established a new conference scoring record. CAPT. BOB MOOSE KAHLE, 6-1 , Junior, was the only returning player from last years squad. Bob controlled floor play and was the man to come through in a pinch. His control rebounds made him a favo rite with all except his opponents. JOHN KRSAK, 6 ' , Senior, a muscular rebounder whose stellar play around the basket made him feared by the opposition. John was also captain of the football team. NICK PETSAS, 6 ' 2V2 ' ’, Senior, Nick was inducted and only played in the first five games. With him in the front line all season, Tech probably could have controlled rebounds all year. We hated to lose Nick, but Uncle Sam had first call. DALE VIEAU, 5 ' -8 , Freshman, Dale ' s clever driving and aggressive floor play was the talk of the re- gion. With three more years of competition he should develop into a great player. FRANK KUZARA, 5 ' -9 , Junior, Frank was the most consistent long shot on the team, hitting 5 of 7 against Lew Wallace. He also tied for the re- gions free shot record hitting 10 of 12 against Clark. WALLY ALTGILBERS, 5 ' -10 , Junior, Wally ' s hard driving and foul-drawing ability made him a val- uable asset to his team. He came through when the team needed him most. DALE GROAT, 5 ' - 10 , Senior, the most spirited play- er on the team. Dale spent most of his time div- ing after the ball and he usually got it. DELVA PRICE, 5 ' -l 1 Vz , Junior, developed rapidly near the end of the season. He should have a good season next year. JOE ISKRZYCKI, 5’-9 , Junior, Joe was one of the fastest players on the team. He kept the radio announcers guessing how to pronounce his name. TECH OPPONENT 32 Roosevelt 29 20 Hammond High 19 25 Joliet (Double Overtime) 23 17 Washington E.

Nick should make the grade next year. BILL ALLEN, 6 ' , Senior, a hard working center. Bill who didn ' t come out until his senior year, handled himself nicely in several close games and with more experience could have been a regular. JOHN GRUDZIEN, 6 ' , Senior, played the bench most of the time and is now playing for Uncle Sam. The Managers Of The A Squad: RAY HARDY, HOWARD FAT WAGNER, put in long hours working on equipment to keep the team going.

With only one returning starter from last years team, Moose Kahle, the team was built around the rebounding strength of its big four: Kahle, Led- winka, Krsak, and Petsas, who averaged 6 ' -l V 2 . Tech opened the season by winning the first three games over Roosevelt, Hammond High and Joliet. Then followed a succession of losses to Em- erson, Clark and Hammond High in the Holiday Tournament. The new year brought on victory. Catholic Central, Thornton Fractional, and Whiting were the victims. Still playing up and down ball, Tech lost to South Bend Central, Lew Wallace, Horace Mann, Froebel and Valparaiso. The only bright spot was a revenge victory over Clark. Tech now began another winning streak show- ing its real power. With Art Ledwinka getting 31 points, Tolleston was defeated. Then fell Washing- ton and Roosevelt. Tech climaxed its regular sea- son with an upset victory over Hqmmond High. Tech won its first sectional tournament game against Wheeler 46-23. Following this with a 48-31 defeat of Portage. Tech met Hammond High for the 4th time losing 35-30. Hammond High then de- feated Gary for the Sectional Crown and ultimately emerged as Regional Champion. With Vieau, Ledwinka, Kahle, Kuzara, Price, Altgilbers, Iskrzycki, and Dowling returning next year, Tech expects to have a top-flight team.

The B team of today becomes the A team of tomorrow. It is also said that the lessons learned in defeat bring victory. The Tech B team, coach- ed by Dick Fuller, was one of the scrappiest teams in the league. After an off and on season, they closed the year with a brilliant overtime victory over their old rival, Hammond High. The season record follows: TECH OPPONENTS 18 Roosevelt 19 13 H. H.

GETTING STARTED The freshman year is the time for try-outs in basketball. All the boys are new at Tech. They come from many schools and bring with them a wide variety of basketball. Coach Paul Hoemann has the job of building this green material into the Tiger teams of 1946-48. The boys had to go to the Wallace gym for tech opponents 20 Morton 18 5 H. H. S. 13 20 Clark 22 16 Edison 22 26 Irving 25 practice and for home games.

The return of several veter- ans from last year and the enrollment at Tech of Jerry Jefchak and Elmer Preda from Irving Junior High School gave Coach Carlson the nucleus for a successful track team. After winning easily over Whiting, East Chicago Roosevelt and East Chicago Washington in dual meets, Tech placed third in the city meet, fifth in the Roosevelt relays and fifth in the Conference preliminaries. Jefchak put Tech on the map by winning both the mile and the half-mile races in the Conference meet. New Tech records have been set in the 100 yard dash, 440 yard dash, half mile, mile runs and mile relay. TRACK RECORD FOR 1945 Broad Jump — E. Preda 19 ' 5 , J. Pink, H. Lewis, W. Shoemaker.

We have a new Tech. It is true that we still have the same old building, but nevertheless it is a new Tech. The old building served new purposes. Instead of preparing entirely for normal peacetime production, Tech had to speed up and train first for wartime produc tion and since December 1941, for the war itself. Tech expanded the adult training program, adding day and night classes in machine shop, welding, drafting, inspection, Math and chemistry. More than 6,000 people were trained here and turned over to industry. Supt. L. L. Caldwell and the entire Board of Education have been very friendly to Tech. A new law, sponsored by the members of the Board of Education, and passed by the state legislature in 1945, gives definite as- surance that there will be a new Tech building as soon as wartime restrictions on building materials are lifted. A new Tech, a greater Tech, in a new building is emerging from dreams toward reality.

The group also made a liberal contribution to the National Children ' s Fund, sponsored the War Fund Drive in this school for the American Red Cross, purchased many games and decks of cards for servicemen, and equipped ten educational boxes for chil- dren in the war-torn countries of Europe. The money required to carry on this program was raised by the students in their 1944 Fall Membership Drive and in the school Scrap Paper Drive. Tech students worked hard to raise the money necessary for these projects, but the success of their contribution to the services of the American Red Cross was well worth the time and effort spent.

The Tech Hi-Y, under the sponsorship of Mr. John Muri, meet every Tuesday night. The program consists of educational films, business meetings, and athletic activities. Clifford Wheeler and Stanley Zaley represented Tech at the Delphi Conference in September, and Eugene Marshall and Clifford Wheeler were present at the Richmond Conference December 2-3. Three boys attended the District Conference March 27. During the school year, two free evening film shows were given for the school by the Hi-Y. The Community Chest Drive, October 16-20, was con- ducted throughout the school by the Hi-Y. One of the high spots of the year was an assembly on Nov. 7, featur- ing E. C.

The committee was instructed to work out ways and means through which students could participate more fully in the management of school ard extra-curricular activities. After a careful investigation of how student government functions in other schools, the committee decided to draw up a Constitution which will be presented to the faculty and the students for their consideration. The com- mittee feels confident that a permanent Student Council will be set up in 1945 and that Tech students will be given further opportunities for service to their school. Mr. Callantine and Mrs. Byers have served as advisors to this com- mittee. PAGE SIXTY-SIX ' lecA ‘Bcutd Our school band this year has participated in many school and civic activities. Their fall concert was presented on December 13 and attended by an enthusiast ' c crowd. Two outstanding numbers of that concert were the overtures Ariane by Louis Boyer and Spiritual Rivers by George Gault. Lynn Warfel played a baritone solo entitled Bride of the Waves . The annual spring concert was presented on April 25 and again a large crowd was on hand to enjoy the evening ' s program. The prominent numbers on this concert were Slavonic Rhapsody by Friedemann and the selection, Mardi Gras (from Mississippi Suite ) by Grofe. Ned Kacher played an accordian solo, Second Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt, and Lynn Warfel played a baritone solo, The Southern Cross by Clarke. In addition to the two annual concerts, the band played for the home football games, the Junior-Senior play, and took part in the annual Memorial Day Parade. Various organizations throughout the city have called on the band to provide soloists and ensembles for their various programs. As far as possible these were accomodated. Although the siae of the band is somewhat smaller this year due to the war, we feel that the quality has not been impaired.

PAGE SIXTY-NINE SAFETY COUNCIL A skilled and efficient worker is one who has learned more than the manipulative processes necessary to do a job. He must consider the welfare of his fellow workers. He must save himself and those who work around him. The duty of the Tech Safety Council is to provide for the safety of the student both in the shop and throughout the school as a whole. Each member of the council is instructed in f ; rst aid so he may take care of small cuts, scratches, and bums received during the shop period. A member of the safety council is selected by the instructor of each shop. These boys meet regularly and plan their program to promote a safety conscious attitude among all the boys.

J945 Well, here we are with twelve years of school- ing behind us and the world before us. Let ' s take a backward look to the four years that have just passed. Remember that first day of high school back in September 1941? We always were getting lost but soon things began to fit into place. How proud we were for we were finally in high school. One of the outstanding events of the year was the strike staged by a few of the students because Coach Daily was leaving to coach football at Hor- ace Mann. But even that strike didn ' t stop him. Then came December 7, and the attack on Pearl Harbor. On April 18, 1942 we gave the laps a taste of what was coming. Tokyo was bombed. How proud of those boys we were. How proud we are of all those boys from Tech who are serving our country. On March 13, 1942 the Senior Class presented their play entitled What A Life”. Summer vacation rolled around and then back again to school. Things weren ' t quite so strange this year. We were now a step higher on the ladder — Sophomores! ! ! There were the usual concerts with the band presenting their unusual novelty numbers. There were the basketball and football games with the winning streaks and the losing streaks. On March 12, the Senior Class presented their play You and I . The Hi-Y also gave a skating party at the State Roller Rink. During our Junior year many new comers join- ed our class. We started the year with the Junior election. How hard everyone worked on those campaign posters. Maybe we will have some good politicians come out of this class. On January 28 an all school party, the Mardi Gras, was given. One of our seniors was queen of that event. December 17, 1944 was the date for our Christ- mas Party, then followed the Junior party, skating parties, and the usual sports. March 10, the class of ' 44 presented the play Growing Pains . Every- one roared with laughter so the play m ust have been a success. Thursday, June 1, was our first Junior-Senior Prom at the Masonic Temple. Remember Coach Carlson singing ”My Ideal ? Everyone said that it was one of those perfect dances. Another summer vacation with everyone work- ing harder than ever on the home front and at long last we were SENIORS!!!! No more could we be referred to as underclassmen. Tech at last broke the charm and beat Ham- mond High in football. Our Senior Spaghetti Supper with everyone try- ing those tongue twisters, took place on November 14. There was plenty to eat and plenty of fun. Next came the Junior-Senior party and on March 17 the Senior play Janie . The auditorium was packed to overflowing and everyone said the play was a hit. April 12 was the death of President Roosevelt. Memorial Services were held in the auditorum on April 13. In a radio speech on April 16, President Truman said that he would support Roosevelt ' s ideas. April 27th was our Senior party and even washing the dishes was fun. (No comments please). Now we are looking forward to our Baccalau- reate Services and Commencement. We have a fine class and can be proud of the boys from our class who are now in the service of our country. After we leave Tech, let ' s always re- member our class of ' 45 and forever be proud of it. PAGE SEVENTY-FOUR Senior Ti M . . , n Nick Dowling wills his innocent looks to Jerry Jefchak.
