THE CORNERSTONE IS LAID The second great event in the history of the New Tech was the laying of the cornerstone. It was such a great event! We even got almost one-half day out of school. Everyone lined up in front of the school for a parade to the New Tech. Our banners, the United States Flag and our Tech Flag were unfurled; the band played; we even had a police escort. It was a long walk but nearly all of us managed to get there. After the invocation, we listened to a lot of speakers. Of course, the best speaker was our own Pat Evoy. Mr. Benson read a list of articles which were to be sealed in the cornerstone. Wonder how many of us will be on hand when the box is ready to be reopened. The president of the Hammond School Board splattered some mortar on the cornerstone while a dozen photographers got down to business. Now it was our turn! We sang our school song, ’Go Brown and Gold.’ Bill Warick of Station W JOB made a wire recording of the ceremonies which most of us heard over the radio that evening. Stay with us. Next fall we will take you to the final chapter in the opening of Unit I of the New Tech, the Dedication, and the Formal Opening of the Doors.
