Mrs. Ruth Walker at work with The Choralettes. To two fine people whose life-long devotion to duty, whose zest for work, and whose love for young people will be an inspiration to all of us, we humbly dedicate this book. The Chart of the New Tech 1951. Mr. Henry F. Kieckheafer (right), at work planning defense produc- tion. Page 2 MR. FRED S. BARROWS The history of Tech is related closely to the rapid industrial ex- pansion in the Calumet that fol- lowed World War I. The school started in 1919 with one pupil when F. S. Barrows established a vocational course in one room of the old Central school at Fayette street and Hohman avenue. It was based on the idea that most people use their hands as well as their minds throughout life and that training both was necessary. Thus was born the idea of training for a skilled trade by actual experience as well as classroom subjects. The school grew rapidly and in 1922, the Hammond Technical Vocational High school was es- tablished. A year later it was moved to Russell street. Enroll- ment rose so rapidly that it was necessary to build an addition in 1925 for a girls ' department. During the period from 1930 to 1950, three annexes were built to house shops and gym facilities. It was evident in the early 1930 ' s that a new building would be needed, but it was years before even plans were drawn. Page 4 The new Tech is a tribute to the foresight of the Director, Mr. Fred E. Benson. He in turn gives the credit to the faculty, to the board of school trustees, to the superintendent of schools, and to alumni and friends. Working to- gether has produced a good school; further co-operation will make a great school. MR. F. E. BENSON Open house was observed Tuesday and Wednesday from 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. and after the dedication to give the public a chance for first hand inspection of the $3,500,000 structure that rates as one of the finest schools of its kind in the nation. Page 5 THE GROUND BREAKING CEREMONY October 2, 1948 THE CORNERSTONE LAYING October 17, 1949 ADDING THE FINISHING TOUCHES On October 9, 1951, more than 1,100 pupils and 66 teachers moved into their spacious, modern school building. In February of this year the enrollment was up to 1,300. A $1,500,000 addition housing an auditorium and girls ' classrooms is still to be built before the school is finally completed. Following is the program that fol- lowed Thursday afternoon and eve- ning at dedication exercises for stu- dents and the public: STUDENT DEDICATION PROGRAM April 19, 1951—1:30 P. M.

The doors of Tech are never closed to anyone who wants to learn. Our parents may be rich or poor. Our residence may be anywhere in or near Hammond. Even our grade school record is not held for us or against us. We make our own record, after we are here. Let us step through these Open Doors leading off from the long hallways and see what makes up the real Hammond Tech. Curriculum Co-ordinator and Night School Director Boys ' Co-ordinotor MR. H. H.

We have worked hard and accomplished many things this year. As juniors we are allowed social activities not enjoyed by freshmen and sophomores. We elected the following officers to help us with these activi- ties: Andy Vernum, president; John Moore, vice-president; Bob Hines, secre- tary; Betty Harris, treasurer; Fred Labs, social chairman. Miss Couve ' and Mr. Cromwell are our class sponsors. Our first party, January 31, 1951, was the Junior-Senior Party which was held for the graduating seniors. It was held in the school cafeteria, the first party to be given there. The following committee chairmen were re- sponsible for the success of the party: refreshments, Bill Harmon; publicity, Mary Raksanyi; admission, Irene Blankenship; decoration, Dick Newland; music, Bob Harmon. Our next special event was the Junior-Senior Prom which was held at Madura ' s Danceland, June 1, 1951, with the music of Bud Pressner ' s Orchestra. This long awaited occasion was the greatest event of the whole year.

THROUGH THE OPEN DOORS TO OUR SHOPS AND CLASSES Page 44 SHOPS and CLASSES This section of our 1951 Chart is dedicated to our one and only plumbing shop instructor who is retiring after more than twenty- five years of service. Mr. James B. Campbell came to Tech at the invitation of Director F. S. Barrows on March 28, 1927 to head the Plumbing and Pipe-fitting work in the new Vocational School. Twenty-four years later March 28, 1951 all of the first students got together and planned a real party in honor of Mr. Campbell. As part of their expression of appreciation and esteem some very fine luggage was presented. Among those present were: Joe Gregas, Byford Davis, Harry Cavan, Delbert Dominick, Elliott ' Johnson, Robert Mat- thies, Joseph Matovina, Henry McAuliffe. Until recent years when ill-health prevented, Mr. Campbell was known far and wide as The Tech Fan No. 1. His interest in Tech and the wel- fare of his boys was his primary concern. Would you like some intimate glimpses into his past? Well, here goes: It is rumored that one of his most prized possessions is a piece of goal post labeled H. H. S. vs. Tech 1934; plumbing shop was once known as Athletes ' Haven ; some one accidentally? knocked the legs from under a chair and Mr. Campbell landed on the floor accompanied by a small hurri- cane; a leading official of the Big Seven threatened to toss him out of the ball park for calling the official a horse thief , a charge which is vigor- ously denied because horse thieves steal only after dark; Mr. Campbell is affectionately known as Pops or as Jimmie to his thousands of well- wishers and friends; Mr. Campbell was never known to turn down a boy who wanted just one more chance to make good; his daughter, Edith, is a graduate of Tech, Class of 1 931 . His granddaughter also graduated in 1944, Ada Rinehart. All of us wish you Pops, many years of happiness in a climate less rigorous than that thrust upon us here in the Old Calumet Region.

Clork Home Nov. 2 Whiting Away Nov. 9 Hammond High Home THE 1950 TIGERS The 1950 season was a good season in every respect. We were going strong until we lost to Washington. We handed Washington this one on fum- bles. They got 24 points in six minutes as a direct result of seven fumbles deep in our own territory. We lost to Clark and Lew Wallace because the boys suffered a let down after a tough Roosevelt game in which Tech led 7 to 0 for three quarters, only to be tied in the last quarter by a hard fighting Rough Rider Team. The Tigers came back strong on a bitterly cold Novem- ber night to hand Hammond High its worst beating of the year 13 to 0. It was the first time the Wildcats had been held scoreless all year. The run- ning of John Sowa and Joe Bafia, the passing of Mike Cyganowski and receiving of Dick Lee, plus the savage tackling of John Kuppinger and Paul Werner were the main features of this game. Gene Garastik scored when he picked up a Hammond fumble and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. He scored the same way in the Roosevelt game, going 70 yards for this one. Captain John Kuppinger, Joe Bafia, Larry Sartini, Captain-Elect John Sowa, Paul Werner, and Gene Garastik received favorable comment and recognition from newspaper men, coaches and players all over the state for their fine football ability. Sowa was considered the best punter in the state. Coach Carlson in speaking of the 1950 team and season has this to say: I think this bunch of boys will always remember this season as one of the greatest opportunities they have ever had. I ' ll always figure that we were only two touchdowns and seven fumbles away from a crack at the state championship. They were certainly a fine group of boys to work with and I sincerely believe next year ' s squad will be every bit as good. We are going to miss all the seniors and I want to take this opportunity to thank them for a job well done and wish them a great deal of success in their future en- deavors. A good percentage of these boys wish to continue their education in numerous colleges and universities. I sincerely hope football has helped them along the way. Page 66 o 1950 TIGERS i FRONT ROW M.

Page 71 TENNIS 1950-51 Varsity tennis was inaugurated at Tech during the fall of 1950 with a squad of three freshmen, five sophomores and one junior reporting to Coach Parson. The team finished in third place in the Western Division with two wins over Clark, one win over Roosevelt of East Chicago, two losses to Hammond High and one loss to Washington of East Chicago. Jim Burns and John Hanas, playing No. 1 and No. 2 singles, were the outstanding players on the squad, each winning 5 out of 6 matches. Major letters were awarded to Jim Burns, John Hanas, Bob Miller, Bob Graves, Melvin Scheive, Hank Hubler, and Dale Eubanks. Minor letters were earned by Harold Maier and Jim Cassaday.

Page 74 WRESTLING 195C-51 The Tech 1950-51 wrestling season proved to be highly satisfactory in many respects. For the second straight year Tech placed third in team points in the state wrestling finals. Coach Hoemann is especially pleased with the fine attitude and the determination shown by the three state finalists who collected 19 points. Their record should be an inspiration to t he boys coming up. Other boys who placed well in conference and sectional honors are: Manuel Ramirez, won 8, lost 2 and then ran against top comoetition and placed second in conference and sectionals; Don Kennedy, won 5, lost 3 and Dlaced second in conference and third in sectionals; Lawrence Kohl and Frank Lenzo, sophomores who placed in both conference and sectionals; Richard Peyton, won 4, lost 1 and then placed third in conference and second in sectionals. A number of members from the reserve squad who took the punishment this year are expected to come up and take the vacant places on the varsity next season. Team spirit has been fine; thirty-four boys completed the sea- son! With a little more experience and a little more reserve strength, Tech is expected to improve its dual meet record next season. The season record is: Roosevelt 24, Tech 24; S. B. Central 30, Tech 16; Clark 20, Tech 27; Washington 21, Tech 26: Roosevelt 28, Tech 22; S. B.

STUDENT COUNCIL What were the major projects sponsored by the Student Council this year? Extracurricular activities; The Tiger-Cat Jamboree, an after-game soc hop on December 1, and the Chart Benefit Dance on April 6 were the major projects. To establish a more united student body: Sponsorship of two worthy civic projects, the Community Chest Drive and the March of Dimes. To pro- mote school spirit: The annual Christmas program which always fosters a spirit of joy and solemnity which are the primary essentials to a unified and spirited group. Those are the concrete accomplishments for the year. However, the council was not idle the rest of the time. Much time was spent on plans for the inauguration of regular pep sessions, assemblies, and after school dance sessions. Will they become realities? Only when every student is willing to show his earnest desire for them by co-operating in the manner of a truly good citizen. The officers for 1950-51 are: President, Bill Hendon; Vice-President, Don Kennedy; Secretary, Margie Michal; Treasurer, Paul Werner. Miss Geraldine Lantz and Mr. A. J. Esterhay are the sponsors. Chairmen of the standing committees are: Social, Arlene Hurley; Ways and Means, Don Clark; Publicity, Joan Tauber; Suggestion Box, Mary Arrigo and Stanley Cyganiewicz; Lost and Found, Irene Blankenship.

MONITOR CLUB 1951-52 The girls you see every day in the cafeteria and halls helping with the conduct of the girls and trying to promote better citizenship among them are known as Monitors. These girls can be identified by the brown and gold badges they wear while on duty. The Monitor Club is made up of twenty girls elected by their classmates for outstanding scholarship, citizenship and leadership in their junior year. Each year the girls organize by electing a captain, co-captain and a secre- tary-treasurer. Irene Blankenship, Jenny Austgen and Barbara Melton, re- spectively, are the officers of the group this year. After being an active member for one year, the girls receive awards and become honorary members. The honorary members are: Betty Beres, Faud Bierly, Henrietta Carnow- ski, Arlene Hurley, Peggy Kirk, Joan Kolbus, Joanne McCoy, Wanda Mar- tin, Margie Michal, Helen Pantazis, Dorothy Adams, Harriet Darmofalski, Virginia Dougherty, Lois Kreyscher, Margaret Markovich, Clara Noble, Elsie Schaller, Betty Strode, Betty Warkentien.

FIRST Y-TEEN MINUTES The Y-Teens of Tech held their monthly meeting after school Tuesday, November 14. Dorothy Adams, the president, called the meeting to order and the vice- president, Helen Pantazis, led the group in repeating the pledge. The president introduced and welcomed the new sponsors.

After the business meeting was adjourned, Joan Kolbus, social chair- man, introduced a get-acquainted game and refreshments were served. On the night of February 2, the Y-Teens held their annual formal, the Winter Waltz ot the Masonic Temple. Fred Brehmer ' s orchestra provided the music while the students danced from 8:30 to 1 1:30.

JUNIOR RED CROSS If you would come to one of the Junior Red Cross meetings, you would see some of the best workers in Hammond Tech. The students who are chosen representative and alternate for each advisory are usually leaders in the school. At the present time the boys ' shops are helping furnish the new Wood- mar Crippled Children ' s School. The sewing classes are using yards of ma- trials to make sheets, pillowcases, and curtains for the school. We also take care of the Book Cart at St. Margaret ' s Hospital for one semester. On March 15, 1951 we took part in a radio program broadcast from WJOB. This program was sponsored by the City Council, and publicized the work of the Junior Red Cross to help the March Red Cross Drive. We also sponsored two dances this year, both were after-game soc- hops, enjoyed very much by the students. We are planning another dance, the Spring Round-Up with a western theme and a talent show. The things mentioned above are only a few of the things we have done this year. We are one of the busiest organizations at Tech. All our fine work could not be done without the assistance of many people whose names are never mentioned. For instance, this year we were told that Santa Claus outfits were wanted at Christmas-time for the soldiers who had just returned from the Korean Front, and who are now hospitalized at Camp Atterbury. Thanks to the sewing classes, Tech sent two beautiful outfits. Special thanks go to our sponsors, Miss Hamill, Mrs. Parre, Miss Mc- Cort, Mr. Weffenstette, Mr. R. M. Wilson. Poge 86 RADIO CLUB The Radio Club is one of the new groups just formed this year. One objective of the club is for each member to obtain a Radio Amateur ' s license; therefore the study of code, radio regulations and radio theory. While the intent of the club is for hobby purposes mainly, many of the things learned apply to the Armed Forces and would be indispensable in case of national or local emergency. The first members of the club are: Mr. Weffenstette, Paul Petroskey, John Bach, Bob Parsons, George Bellamy, Bob Ayersman. Second row are Lawrence Seberger, Jesse Hough, William Bolling, Charles Anguiano, Pat McGing, Bill Ruark. Third row: Harry Betterton, Wilbur Hartman, Don Cro- zier, Bob Dolphin, Lee Gould, Ed Langel.

After that the building really belonged to Tech. The Open House program, April 17 and 1 8, 7 to 9 p. m. attracted more than 5,000 parents and friends. The Dedication program Thursday, April 19, was divided into two sections; the program for students at 1:30 and the same program for the public at 8:00. Hammond Station WJOB broadcast the evening program. A picture taken at that time is reproduced on page 94. Whom can you recog- nize?

We were pleasantly received everywhere and the response was generous. Our merchants did their part in helping us to put out this book, now will you, and your parents do your part too? Look through this section and the next time you need to buy some- thing, go to one of these business places and buy it there. Help those who have helped you, won ' t you?
