Dr. Henry W. Eggers, Gerald Gillette, Donald Gavit, Superintendent L. L. Caldwell, Walter Thornton, Charles Scott, Archie Spoerner, and Columbus Smith. Technical Vocational High School Tech was founded in 1919 by Mr. F. S. Barrows, with one teacher, one pupil, and one classroom. The present building once stood on Hohman Avenue where it was occupied by Hammond High. It was later moved to where it now stands. It was then taken over by Tech. The school at the present time employes some fifty-five teachers and has an enrollment of slightly over one thousand. The new Tech school is being built at the North Civic Center Site. The new building will consist of four- teen shops and nineteen academic clas- ses. It will also have a large Gvmnas- ium that can be divided into two standard size basketball courts, one for the boys and one for the girls. There are standard classrooms that are soundproof, and its floors will be covered with either tiletex or linoleum. New subjects will be offered to the future Tech students. There will be a complete library and a room for visual education. The school will be able to accommodate fifteen hundred students. Tech will be one of the finest schools in this region. e the students of Tech wish to express our appreciation of the efforts that this Board of Education and Superintendent Caldwell have put forth in the planning and financing for the New Tech. All of us pledge ourselves to continue to do our best and show the citizens of Hammond that Tech is a worth while investment which will pay dividends for years to come. 8

Signs of progress - The New Tech - Early spring 1949 Due to the mild Hammond winter, work on the site was always ahead of schedule. Here we see the excavating work for the main building nearly completed .and the forms for cement work are all set. Thirty days later excavating was started on the shop unit and by May day, the steel work for tin superstructure was beginning to go up. Mrs. Kreyscher, our P. T. A. president, kept constant watch and did not permit construction to lag.
