Our Teachers The teachers always say to us, “Now when Joe X was in school here we did etc. , when I first came here Plumbing shop was over in, etc. “Boys used to act like men, etc., etc.” This causes us to wonder if the faculty members really know what they are talking about or if they had merely heard such rumors. So one ambitious morning we took a look in the Chart of 1929 — twenty years ago. We invite you to turn with us to the faculty pages. On the first page we see the likeness, 1929. of Orpha M. Dean. On the second page appear Fred E. Benson, Ann Moengen, Wilhel- mina Hebner and H. E. Holloway. On page three, at the very top of the page, our two long time pals and chronies — Marie Landon and Vera Eastwood. T. M. Flack and Henrietta Steiner are on the same page. Page five is graced with the likenesses of R. M. Wilson and Mary Lou Rogers. One the last page of the section Henry F. and Mary M. Kieckheafer, James B. Campbell and Henry L. Callan- tine appear. Do those names sound familiar? Out of thirty-eight on the faculty in 1929, fifteen are still with us twenty years later. Can you find a better record anywhere in the country? Yes, we decided that our teachers know Tech both as it is and as it was. We salute these men and women who have given twenty or more years of their lives to the boys and girls of Hammond Tech — the veterans of the 20 Year Club. 11

Jeanette Grabill, Miss London, Sue Etta Wilkinson, Miss Rybolt. Our Co-ordinators Need your program changed? Need a job? Need advice? If you have any problems such as these, go to see our co-ordinators, Miss Landon and Mr. Sampson, two understanding people who are willing to help anyone who has a problem. Miss Landon, girls’ co-ordinator, has been at Tech many years and has helped many girls to find jobs or to straighten out any difficulties they might have. Miss Rybolt, a new in- structor at Tech, helps Miss Landon with the programming and other special assignments. There are also several students chosen from the Introduction to Business classes to run errands and take care of routine duties. Mr. Sampson, boys’ co-ordinator, has enough patience and understanding to cope with the many problems that come before him. He has a sense of humor that makes him popular with both teacher and student. His desk is always piled high with work. Office- practice girls help him with this. Mr. Sampson wants to spend most his time in guidance work and complains that too large a part of his job now is attending to the boys that go A.W’.O.L. But. he even tackles this problem with tact and humor. Yes, we can be proud of our co- ordinators. They are two people who consistently turn in a good job, whether it be finding a job for a student or tactfully explaining why a student shouldn’t play hookey. 10
