Chugging Trains Give Hammon ■ ■ Contents . FACULTY CLASSES ACTIVITIES SPORTS The course of great trains past Tech ' s doors and into the heart of Hammond is the sym- bol of a city ' s life. Those tracks represent connections with all points on the globe and trade with a world . . . copper from Chile, wheat from Kansas, la- tex from Malaya, fruit, pottery, tin, salt, steel . . . material sus- tenance to keep Hammond citizens alive. The railroad is actually a great steel artery pumping life blood to the heart of a throbbing industrial community. TECH EDUCATES To Help Sustain Hammond ' s Life CONTRIBUTING A SHARE OF LIFEBLOOD TO A THROBBING COMMUNITY, TECH, TOO, STANDS AS A SYMBOL OF A CITY ' S LIFE. ORGANIZED IN MUCH THE SPIRIT OF A RAILROAD, TECH DELIVERS TO HAMMOND CITIZENS SKILLS, ATTITUDES, AND KNOWLEDGE . . . UNSEEN FORMS OF LIFEBLOOD THAT NOURISH MIND AND SOUL AND THAT GIVE MORAL DIREC- TIONS TO ALL THAT THE RAIL- ROAD CARRIES. THE FACULTY Railroads run because men from despatchers to switchmen take rails, cars, locomotives . . . items the stock- holder provided . . . and give them power to deliver. Tech serves because people from administrators to teachers use rooms, chalkboards, books, bells, program charts . . . items taxpayers provided ... to convey — via classes, activities, and sports — the attitudes, knowledge, and skills students must have.

Hammond Tech in 1951-52 became the only high school avia- tion shop in Indiana to be approved by the rigid Civil Aeronautics Administration standards. The shop, located at 412 Russell Street, was C. A. A. approved November 16, 1951. Upon graduation, a student of a C. A. A. school can apply for an examination to qualify him for an aircraft or aircraft engine mechanic ' s license. Such a license will allow him to work or supervise work on aircraft or aircraft engines anywhere in the United States or its possessions. The shop is divided into two general sections — engine and aircraft. The primary function of the engine division is the teach- ing of the operation of the airplane, power plants, and accessories. This shop comes equipped with a different variety of engines. The aircraft section includes a number of activities requiring manual skill. Activities include work on electrical systems, weld- ing, wood work, dope and fabric, theory of flight, weight, and balance, and the structure of the aircraft frame, interior and ex- terior. Mr. Clarence Van Deventer and Mr. Fred Ford are the instructors. Aviation Shop is in continuous contact with near-by airports. Executives were invited to visit the shop to inspect and criticize. One effort to acquaint parents with the shop was an open-house. From time to time the boys get live planes , or planes which are in service. They get very good experience from these be- cause they meet with actual problems encountered on the job. There is also a great savings to the plane owner because they don ' t have to pay for the labor — and the parts are of lower cost too. Students in aviation were: William Boyda, Harold Bruner, Eddie Brown, Raymond Burns, John Cavalier, Dick Gragido, Frank Hayes, Eugene Havill, Richard Helm, Dick Kovach, Donald Ky- preos, Gene Lea, Robert MacDonald, Bill Marshall, Dale Milligan, Donald Norton, Robert Novak, Frank Pezel, Ronald Phelps, Jerry Reed, James Rowe, Henry Seehausen, Richard Smith, Don Snyder, Verland Stout, Ramzy Selim, and Charles Wolfe. Also, in the morning aviation class were: Ed Almada, Ronald Berg, Harold Bremer, Albert Chmiel, Howard Clark, Pat Conley, Loran Dazey, Ernest De Guilo, Lance Fairchild, Dan Ford, Ray Grimmer, Stanley Kliza, Michael Kollar, Jim Kreiler, Patrick Mc- Cambridge, Terry Norris, Joe Miller, Jim Miskosky, Tom Mullins, Owen Scofield, David Strachan, Steve Tsalickis, Larry Welch and Robert Zuver.

ACTIVITIES Leading a group with con- sideration, listening and think- ing for solutions to group problems, being depended upon to make the best scenery pos- sible to help a play succeed, dancing with one ' s best girl at a group-sponsored dance . . . these are activities that foster right attitudes about others. Such attitudes, too, are gained at Tech. Student Council Drive Increased P. T. A. 700 Members OFFICERS Standing: Larry Southard, President; Mrs. Kieckheaier, sponsor; Mr. Easterhay, sponsor.

The Student Council, composed of a representative from each advisory, headed the Association of students at Tech. Its services and activities were for the student body on behalf of the student body. Tech students in October, through the Student Council, in- creased the membership of the Tech P. T. A. by 700 parents. A Community Chest Drive netted $169.00 in October; a Polio Drive, $188.00 in January, and a Heart Drive, $104.00 in February. A clean up campaign in the fall and spring was co-ordinated with the city campaign, Homecoming plans for October were made with the Alumni Association, and a Christmas program in December was produced in partnership with Tech dramatic groups. The Student Council sponsored two soc-hops in February, one being called the Hop O ' My Heart. Also, the Council donated a plaque honoring Tech teachers who passed away. Student Council members served as ushers at school activities and helped in the planning and promotion of students ' programs. Mrs. Kieckheafer and Mr. Esterhay were the faculty sponsors. Safety Council Strove to Promote Student Safety Shop safety council members helped promote safety in the building generally, but in the shops specifically. Twice a m onth representatives of morning and afternoon shops met under the guidance of Mr. R. M. Wilson to learn more about the use of fire extinguishers, the treatment of minor injuries, the prevention of accidents, and the use of monthly reports in keeping tab on trends, mistakes, and improvements in the safety program. Also, at meetings representatives prepared speeches and planned posters to make students safety conscious. First semester officers of Safety Council were Ronald Bolek 7 chairman, and Pat Markstone, secretary, for the A. M. shops, and Paul Malovich, chairman, and Janet Armstrong, secretary, for the P. M. shops. The second semester officers were Ronald Bolek, chairman, and Janet Armstrong, secretary, for the A. M. shops, and Larry Sandlin, chairman, and Joan Banks, secretary, for the P. M. shops. 53 Top Picture, Lett to Right: Don Snyder, Richard Ko- vach, Johnnie Longfellow, Jerry McClurg.

Drama Group Stressed Better Acting and Speaking Anyone who was interested in acting or speaking more effect- ively was welcome to join one of the drama groups. Emphasis was put on helping students better understand themselves — their good points as well as bad — so that they could better under- stand others, and hence interpret the roles they played with sin- cerity and intelligence. The course was pupil-teacher planned to meet the needs of the group. Through participating, students developed greater poise, physical as well as mental; they became courteous listen- ers and careful observers; they learned to evaluate what they saw and heard on the radio, on T. V., in the movies, and on the stage; they learned to work together cooperatively, and they learned to give and to take honest criticism. Several one-act plays were given for the student body. Every member was given a chance to appear before an audience. Tech Little Theatre Gave Cheaper by the Dozen The Tech Little Theatre, meeting after school on Wednesday in Room 207, presented the following major productions: a Christ- mas program in conjunction with the Music Department for the P. T. A.; a three-act play, ' ' Cheaper by the Dozen, for the public at the Hammond High School Auditorium on January 11, and Heidi, a four-act play for children, sponsored by the Associa- tion for Childhood Association, a grade school teachers ' profes- sional organization. Heidi was presented twice at Hammond High School, twice at Morton, twice at Edison, and Lincoln and Clark once. Along with acting in and producing plays, the members at- tended the theatre in a group. STAGE CREW Fronf Row: Miss Clency, Jim Jones, Bobby Novak. Second Row: Billy Moeller, Ronald Csonka.

C. A. It also promoted good fellowship among the members, with members of other Y- Teen clubs in the area, and on a world-wide basis through the World Fellowship work with the Y. W. C. A. The Y-Teens this last year purchased a Christmas tree for school and decorated it, collected old toys from students before Christmas and delivered them to the fire department for repair and distribution, gave a Christmas tea for faculty and Y-Teen members, sponsored a semi-formal Sweetheart Frolic at the Masonic Temple on February 15, and took charge of arrange- ments and publicity at Tech for Lake County Girls ' Conference. The Y-Teens had 1 14 members who met on the first Tuesday of each month. Officers were: Geraldine Rzonca, president; Adele Polgar, vice-president; Velma Moore, secretary; Marilyn Plaskett, treasurer; and Marie Vicari, social chairman. Miss Mildred Peehl and Miss Alice Cleveland, and Miss Evelyn Bold were faculty sponsors. Hi-Y Goal Was To Build Sound Christian Character The Hi-Y was organized to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community a high standard of Chris- tian character. Its platform was clean speech, clean sportsmanship, and clean scholarship. All boys who were willing to work with others to carry out and uphold the Hi-Y standards were eligible for membership. For two years Tech did not have a Hi-Y Club, but under the guidance of Mr. Fuller and Mr. Rudd it was reorganized in 1951. Meetings were every week, alternating between business and sports. One week problems were discussed; other Hi-Y Clubs were visited, or services were conducted. The next week mem- bers participated in a sports activity. One of the highlights of the year was the big initiation which was attended by Washington Hi-Y Club. A pot-luck dinner pre- ceded the initiation. The Connersville State Conference was attended by George Bellamy, Bob Bevacqua, Glenn Parker, Richard Tucker, Eugene Spjewski, Erwin Barzycki. The Rensalier North Sectional Con- ference was attended by George Bellamy, Ed Early, Richard Grump, Bob Clark, and Donald Trump.

Helped by the money were the National Children ' s Fund, the Lo- cal Children ' s Fund, and funds to help J. R. C. members go to J. R. C. camps and conferences during the summer. Contributor to J. R. C. funds was the 1,227-member Tech chapter that met every month in room 221 under the leadership of Dorothy Gonsiorowski, president; Janet Atkinson, vice-presi- dent; Bill Pearman, second vice-president; Cecelia Cieskiewicz, secretary; and Ronnie Bolek, treasurer. Ed Boling was re-elected treasurer of the Hammond City Council of the Junior Red Cross for 1952-53. Dorothy Gonsiorowski was chosen in March from the entire school system to talk to Hammond Girl Scouts on the J. R. C. and its aims. The officers presented an assembly program to help boost the enrollment of new members in the organization in October. They also sponsored a spring dance, South of the Border, April 25, and a soc-hop after the Thanksgiving holiday Tech-Bishop Noll football game. In November the group sponsored a gift box drive, 120 boxes being filled by Tech students for children overseas. During the Christmas holidays, Tech members helped with the Junior Red Cross display at Goldblatt ' s Department Store and sent notes to home-bound children. They also provided toys for unfortunate children and made nut cups for hospital trays. In March, Mrs. Parre produced a radio broadcast on the National Childrens ' Fund. Dorothy Gonsiorowski and Dorothy Klein took parts. Miss Marian McCort was the faculty sponsor. She was as- sisted by Miss Margaret Hanlon, Miss Alice Hamil, Mr. R. M. Wil- son, and Mr. Weffenstette.

It was a selected group of musically talented girls and boys in the Junior and Senior classes. The members of the Choir had to have had previous experience in either the Girls ' Glee Club, Boys ' Glee Club, or Mixed Chorus. The primary work of the Choir was to prepare public performances for community and school service and to be a worthy representative of the Hammond Technical High School.

In this group, girls became familiar with all types of music through their singing and listening program. They built a repertoire of memorized music and they had times to sing for fun. Some time was spent on the technical background of music. They learned, also, to use their voices in an intelligent self-expression and to stay on a given voice part. Public performances for 1951-52 were: Christmas program, December 20; the Winter Concert, January 29; the Spring Concert, April 23, and the Music Festival, May 9.

Combined Boys ' Glee Club Was Open to All Boys These two boys ' groups were open to any boy at Tech who wanted to sing. A fellow didn ' t have to be a Mario Lanzo or a Johnny Ray to become a member of these groups. The only requirements a boy had to fulfill were that he sing to the best of his ability and that he have regular attendance at all rehears als and concerts. Their music was a little different than the regular type. Much of it was made up of vigorous, masculine fight songs, barber shop quartette music, and sacred songs appropriate to the male voice. Boys learned to use their voices properly and to sing on their given part. Public performances for 1951-52 were: the Thanksgiving program, Novem- ber 21; Chart program, November 19; Christmas program, December 20, and the Winter Concert, January 29.

But the co-ordination and control that would help make him so come from the. exercise of growing muscles. The student finds such exercise in sports at Tech.

He took into account the loss of twenty-four out of twenty-nine letter- men on the 1950 squad and the rough- tough competition of our conference. Prospects for 1952, Coach Carlson added, were very bright since twenty lettermen were returning and these twenty with a lot of valu- able experience on the 1951 team and since he expected some good players from the Freshman team, 1951 City champions. Lost to the 1952 team through graduation were: John Sowa, captain and fullback, who for the second consecutive year was chosen on the Hammond Times All-Star squad and re- ceived honorable mention on various all-con- ference and all-State teams; Myrwin Ander- son, quarterback; Jim Jones, center; Dick Wil- son, guard; Ed Hudspeth, tackle; Bob Harmon, end; and Myron Dickerson, halfback. 1951 FOOTBALL RESULTS 1952 SCHEDULE Won 2 Lost 7 Sept. 12 Gary Edison Home Tech 7 Hirsch 6 Sept. 19 Muncie Central Away Tech 12 Muncie 19 Sept. 26 Roosevelt, E.

Freshman Griders Captured City Championship The Hammond Tech Freshman Football team displayed enough knowledge and power to gain a four to two record for the 1951 season. With this record the City freshman title be- longed to the Tigers. After an opening twelve to six setback by Washington of East Chicago, the Tigers won four straight games before bowing to Whiting in their last game. In this winning streak there were victories over Hammond High, 14-6; Thornton Fractional, 32-13; Hammond Clark, 24-7, and Irving, 20-13. Mr. George Bereolos is the coach.

Varsity Cagemen Plus Inexperience: One Victory Coach Lou Birkett ' s explanation for Tech ' s leanest year in basketball was simply inex- perience. Despite all the fight Tiger cagemen seemed able to muster, one victory over Thornton-Fractional, as against eighteen de- feats was all that a team that had lost eight of its best men by graduation the year before could do. Bolek and Powers, seniors, were all of the 1951 team to return at the beginning of the 1952 season and they had been substitutes on the 1951 varsity. Powers ' 1952 record, how- ever, was a good one, said Coach Birkett. Powers averaged thirteen points to a game. With Powers lost by graduation, Coach Birkett went on, finding a man for center po- sition was the greatest difficulty in planning the 1952-53 varsity squad. Prospects for the 1952-53 season, he added, seemed none too bright since even the 1951-52 B team held no promise of winning players.

The Tigers won their first game of the B team tourney over Noll Central 29-28, but lost to Clark in the final game 38-31. All games awards were won by the following boys: Jack Burnette, James Bums, Tom Ford, Robert Graves, Pat Hendron, Gilbert Kuppinger, Robert Miller, Ronald Richter, Paul Rosenau, John Timko, and Paul Crawford, manager.

Results of the 1952 track and field season indicated a brighter season for the Hammond Tech varsity track teams, Coach George Bereolos predicted, despite a record of only two wins. From the 1952 squad only Bill Pearman was to be lost. Although the Tech cindermen did not set any school rec- ords, performances this spring by Jack Blackburn, and Ralph Russnogle, shot putter; Dale Gillespie, high jumper; Tom Ford, Bob Fischer, and Gilbert Kuppinger, hurdlers; Gerald Hatfield, David Strachen, Art Kalena, Ray McGill, Richard Gragido and Bill Brehmer, distance men; Terry Norris, Eugene Brown, Joy Beckett, Dale Milligan, and Jack Burnette, sprinters; and Larry Press and Stanley Kliza, pole-vaulters, gave Coaches George Bereolos and assistant Harold Carlson a fine nucleus for the 1952 season. At the time of this writing the Tigers were being repre- sented by Jack Blackburn and Dale Gillespie at the I. H. S. A. A. Regional meet held in Mishawaka, May 14. Promising underclassmen heretofore not mentioned are Gene Kubiak, Donald Lutes, Ronnie Raduski, Ed Brunner, Jack Foster, Lande Fairchild, Jack Press, Steve Tsalickis, Chris Demas, Don Stavitzke, and John Fraser. THE FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE track team of 1952 gave evidence that better things were to come at Hammond Tech in the way of track — another prediction by Coach Bereolos. The Tiger thinlies tasted defeat only once during the year ' s competition. The squad, coached by Mr. Harold Carlson, were to make a strong bid for the Tri-City Championship to be decided May 21, after publication of The Chart. The cindermen gave early evidence of power when they finished second to Hammond High in the City Indoor meet in March. After March, the Tigers triumphed over Thornton- Fractional, Morton, Hammond, Clark, and Washington of East Chicago. Jumping: Robert Fischer and Dale Gillespie.

Varsity Cross-Country Ran Eighth at Sectionals Coach Lou Birkett ' s 1951-52 cross-country team had a fair season by coming in ninth out of nineteen schools at the Hobart Invitationals and by finishing fourteenth out of twenty schools at the Northern Indiana Conference run. In the sectionals, Tech came in eighth out of eighteen schools. Prospects for the 1952-53 team, Coach Birkett felt, were bright since the entire varsity squad was to return plus some good men from the Freshman-Sophomore squad. The Freshman-Sophomore team won three of four meets, losing only to Hammond High who also nosed Tech out of first in the Tri-City meet: Hammond High, 29; Tech, 39; Clark 71; East Chicago Roosevelt, 118, and Morton, 127. Major letter winners were: James Burns, Bill Brehmer, Rob- ert Graves, Kenneth Marquies, Raymond McGill, Bill Pearman, Ronald Schmitt, and Jim Olsen.

Harry Colias, a freshman, won eight of his twelve matches, placed first in the sectional, and third in the state meet in the 103 pound class. Frank Lenzo, senior, won all meets, took first place in the sectional and conference meet and went on to win the State Championship of 1952. He was the only one not returning, in 1953, to the starting lineup because of graduation. Coach Hoeman commented on Lenzo’s success as coming as a result of great determination and will to win.

Netmen Capture Western Division Championship Tiger Netmen, with seven wins out of eight matches, won the 1951-1952 Western Division Championship. With one senior, four juniors, and two sophomores, they swept to two victories each over Hammond High, 3-2 and 4-1; East Chicago Washington, 5-0 and 4-1; and East Chicago Roosevelt, 5-0 and 5-0, and split one with Hammond Clark, 2-3. Jim Burns and John Hanas alternating at the number one and two spots, proved to be the outstanding young players in the area. Coach Bill Parson predicted the 1952-53 team to be even stronger since all but one of the squad is returning, and new younger players, such as Bill McCullough, Don Kennedy, and Bob Smith, are fighting to replace the returning varsity for 1952-53. The major award winners were Jim Burns, John Hanas, Bob Grables, Doc Richter, Mike Scheive, and Hank Hubler. Tom Holtz won a minor award. 89 Front Row: Mgr. Joe De Camp Mgr.

With the new facilities and equipment, however, an effective program in the last two years has been maintained. The activities that were included in the 1951-52 program were aimed at teaching the girls skills for enjoying sports and games and to increase each girl ' s strength and endurance for living a full and healthy life. The program consisted of the following: soccer, speedball, volleyball, bas- ketball, softball, tennis, deck tennis, hand tennis, ping pong, shuffleboard, social and square dancing, rope jumping, and exercises. On discussion day, such problems as grooming, clothes, posture, dates, and problem parents were the topics. Pep Club Bolstered Cheering for Team at Games Dressed in brown and gold, the Tech Tiger Pep Club sat together in the cheering section at all major Tech athletic events during the year. Officers of the group were Marie Vicari, president; Joanne Olson, secretary; and Darlene Hoff- man, treasurer. B-Team Cheerleaders Were Selected by Tryouts Five B team cheerleaders were chosen in 1951-52 after tryouts involving fifty girls. Requirements for cheerleaders were that they have an interest in building school and team morale, that they have good attendance at games and practice sessions, that they have good co-ordination and that they have good grades. The same requirements applied for Varsity cheerleaders. (See sports division page.) Eighty Girls Took Part in G. A. C. in Its First Year The Girls ' Athletic Club was organized to give all girls at Tech an opportunity to participate in sports. Eighty girls took part in G. A. C. in 1951-52, the club ' s first year. Basketball, softball, tennis, tumbling, volleyball, swimming, bowling, and hiking were activities the club engaged in. A softball tourna- ment was organized of teams, each lead by two G. A. C. mem- bers who were responsible for organizing the rest of the team from girls outside the club. Also, members sponsored two roller skating parties during the year. Officers of the club were Shirley Mclver, president; Maxine Horvath, vice-presi- dent; Mary Comer, secretary; and Sandra Carlson, treasurer. Miss Virginia Nisle was the faculty sponsor. 93 . ’ ' ■% mr MM, ' M s A V O a(9xM 7-; , L TM t£x3B yl wutJKSa £2 1 B, 4 1 • ' la W | ' Pp P ' U y- Si V ’ i ♦ Hpi||||p|| Top. Left: Y-Teen Formal. Top.

Juniors. Juniors. sponsored From 1920 to 1950, Hammond Tech was a building of vigorous activity day by day. Then in the fall of 1950, it was quiet within, for the students had entered a new building. For a period of about one and one-half years, it stood desolate and foresaken — but then in 1952, the ground on which the old Tech stood became earmarked as a parking lot. The building and ground were sold to a group of Hammond people and they in turn contracted to have the building torn down. Thus if you walk down Russell Street today,. you no longer see the familiar building that housed many fond memories. All that is there is a vacant lot spotted with cars. The changing to the new building for Tech was a big step forward. Tech began with one room and one teacher in 1920 and progressed to a building with forty classrooms plus office space, a gym, and fifteen shops and a faculty of seventy-three. As the first students walked through the doors of the new building and were greeted by the school officials it seemed as though they were entering a dream. The corridors, rooms, and shops were new and strange. The floors gleamed with newly laid tile. That first day we were ushered into our new gym and addressed by our director, Mr. Benson; our coordinators, Miss Landon and Mr. Sampson; our superintendent of schools, Mr. Caldwell, and other school officials. And after we were complimented on our new building, we took a tour to get a better look at it. The next day classes were resumed and the first few weeks were hectic because of the change from being in a crowded building to such a spacious one. But as we became ac- quainted with the building things became smoother. In 1951-52 the only apparent change in Tech was the landscaping, but the real change had come in our knowledge of the building; it was no longer a dream. We knew it had a few shortcomings, we knew swelling enroll- ment was already over-crowding a building that yet had to have a girls ' section built, but most of all we began to know it as the most modern school any student could ask for. In this reality, we began to know for a certainty what a great opportunity was ours for acquir- ing that precious lifeblood that nourishes mind and soul and that gives moral direction to all that the railroad carries. by Ronald Mauck FOR PHOTOGRAPHS THAT CARRY A PLEASANT MEMORY THROUGH THE YEARS P Q P J J Jour photographer JERRY O ' NEIL Store for Men 6020 Calumet Avenue Hammond, Indiana PAXTON LUMBER COMPANY QUALITY BUILDING MATERIAL 4928 Hohman Avenue Hammond, Indiana Sheffield 4488 BARELLI ' S Appliances and Furniture 459-63 State Street Sheffield 159 Compliments of DICK HOYT, INC.

THE NATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY The National Thespian Society, a national drama honor society, is devoted to the advance- ment of the Dramatic Arts in the high school. Tech was granted charter membership. In order to be- come a member of this organization, students had to earn at least ten hours of work spent outside of school on some phase of the theatre — such as acting, directing, staging, designing, lighting and costuming. If it’s Borden’s it’s got to be good 109 Frank Lenzo was chosen by the coaches as the out- standing athlete and student for 1951-52. During the three and one-half years that it took Lenzo to finish school, he won first prize twice in the Purdue Contest, first for a drafting shop entry and sec- ond for a machine shop entry. He played varsity football and in his last year won the State Wrestling Champion- ship. Dorothy Gonsicr- owski won two great honors during the year. She was the 1952 City Track Queen, being pres- ent at the City Out- door Track Meet to present the awards to the winning teams and players. She was also chosen to be one of the two Hammond Junior Red Cross del- egates to the ten-day Leadership Training Camp at Miami Uni- versity in July.
