Hammond Tech Tech was founded in 1919 with the idea of putting people out into the world with the trade skill required in home, industry, and office. This was the first attempt to offer vocational training in the Hammond Schools. Hammond Tech under the guidance of Mr. F. S. Barrows, founder and first director, began in a small side room on the top floor of the boys’ building with one pupil and one teacher. The school has grown until we now number over one thousand pupils, a faculty of about fifty-five, and more than twenty fully equipped shops for both girls and boys. In 1937 Mr. Barrows retired because of ill health and his assistant, Mr. Benson, who had been with Tech since its first year as shop instructor, business training instructor, and as coordinator, was elected to this position. Under the guidance of Mr. Benson. Tech has expanded greatly and vast amounts of useable surplus equipment has been accumulated. Al- most an entirely new 1 Machine Shop and a new Aviation Shop has been set up. The future of Tech looks promising.

The duties of a teacher are As heavy as can be Regardless of the type of school Or whether “he” or “she” Because the teacher must possess A knowledge that will shine And in addition has to keep The students right in line There are a thousand questions to be answered every day And papers must be graded When the books are put away The pleasures of an evening out Are seldom to be shared Because the next day’s lesson must Be carefully prepared And yet there is a glory in This timeless atmosphere The teacher helps tomorrow’s world Prepare for its career.
