— LIFE BEGINS AT The 1959 CHART Editor-in-Chief Beatrice Bolek Business Manager Ruth Hartman Hammond Technical Vocational High School 5727 Sohl Avenue Hammond, Indiana training; industry, trained youth! lech ' s vocational training kept Tech ' s Founder, Fred S. Barrows, believed that training students to be lathe operators or typists for jobs in industry and business was a major need in education. Even when Tech’s first teacher, Mary Dwyer, instructed Max Demps, Tech’s first student, in 1919, the aim was to help this part- time student take his place in an industrial community. Hammond Tech was first housed in the Central School building, then located at the corner of Fayette street and Hohman avenue, where the Calumet National Bank now stands. As a part-time school, Tech had the attic and shared the basement with the school kindergarten. When full-time training did become firmly established a few years later and industry needed more and more trained workers, there was rapid addition of one new class or shop after another. Such courses as shorthand, bookkeeping, filing, office practice, and comptometer were quickly made available to girls. Likewise, boys shops, be they forge, wood, electric, or drafting, were made available. All the while, a program of related academic classes, sports, and activities was developed to broaden the outlook of future workers. The Central School building was moved to 231 Russell street in 1923. By that time Tech had taken over the entire building. Increased enroll- ment, however, soon necessitated construction of an adjoining building the next year. Thus the old” Tech stood for years as a symbol of vocational education in Hammond — even while the need grew and grew. __ M MISS DENSMORE ' S OFFICE MACHINES CLASS.

CALDWELL, superintendent of schools. 1959 - SPACE-AGE NEED PROMPTED NEW CURRICULUM IN COMPLETED BUILDING LIFE BEGINS AT In 1959 — its fortieth year of service — Tech gave an answer to additional needs made necessary by space travel, automation, and cold war.” No longer was it designed to give mainly that training necessary for skilled work in business and industry; Tech ' s curriculum was reorgan- ized to make scientific and technological pre- paration another of its specialties and thus serve the time. This was the first year of completed building. This was the first year of a new Technical Division. The era of the new building and the new curriculum had just begun. Life began anew for Tech at forty. Students seeking a portion of their education from test tubes highlighted the new in Tech classes: the Technical Division, expanded in 1958-59, included courses in chem- istry, biology, physics, math — also other classes designed to help prepare needed scientists and technicians. Tech ' s aim has always been to design classes to meet changing needs. Tech’s first classes, (arithmetic, hygiene and safety, English, citizenship) were organized to serve part-time students who worked in industry and who had not finished regular schooling. When need arose for vocationally trained high school graduates, shops were added. Shop related classes were in- cluded. Examples: math for a student in sheet metal em- phasized problems in layout work; business English made drill on sentence structure an important part of a future stenographer’s training. A core of required subjects and a selection of electives rounded out the program. In 1958-59, Tech classes served the vocational student and the college bound, technical student as well. BARBARA STILLER and ART HAM con- duct experiment in chemistry class. 10 mvmn Science Program Enriched in 1958-59 Because the national need for more science training existed, Tech found it advantageous to enrich its curriculum in science. More rooms were devoted to this field with the completion of the building. There has also been an addition of a new subject — biology. Under the new Technical curriculum, which started 1958-59, the technical student was required to take at least two semesters of biology, two of chemistry, and two of physics, while everyone — as required by state law — took at least two semesters of a laboratory science. MRS. JONES ' S GENERAL SCIENCE CLASS studied the essentials of science. MARCELLA DULIJAN and ED SHOUE conducted a titration experiment under the supervision of Mr. Parson. Their work envolved analyzing the strength of an acid. JIM JOHNSON conducted an experiment on electrical induction while Mr. Welty and his physics class looked on. IV ’■fi £ W jJir% V JB • mijjwB i Uf a jImIl f % , [■T- STUDENTS IN TECH ' S NEW BIOLOGY COURSE, Jim Lewellen examined the guinea pigs and Edith Bunton looked on. Mr. Hoch was the instructor. JOHN VAPREZSAN, biology student, ex- amined speciman under a microscope as a part of his assignment. j A Student ' s Math His Chosen At Tech there were classes in mathematics for both the technical and vocational student. The technical student took algebra, geometry, and trigonometry to prepare for college, while the vocational student’s classes in shop mathematics were directly related to the job for which he was training. BETTY PIGG and VICTOR MANN solved for Z” while other members of their algebra class watched. MR. KACKLEY ' S SHOP MATH CLASS em- phasized problems students would need to solve in shops. Wayne Downs and Bud Thomas are pictured at the board. 14 BRENDA POWERS and JOAN PETERS worked problems on the board in Miss Ritter’s Math II class. MR. FULLER ' S GEOMETRY I CLASS looked on as Walter Richeson worked problem on board. A V 4 J TTV - «W , J ■ ' if-tt-.i i M«§L r , r m || Till TUl j| Was Geared to Vocation IN MR. HOEMANN ' S MECHANICAL DRAW- ING CLASS, boys became acquainted with the fundamentals of drafting. SHOP SKETCHING CLASS, here conducted by Mr. Casperson, taught boys to make finished draw- ing of the object they were making in shop. Being able to read blue prints is a necessary skill for many workers. Mr. Esterhay is pictured instructing Mike Thard and Bruce Plath. Social Studies Stressed Issues of the Time We are giving our youth,” said Lee L. Caldwell, superintendent of Ham- mond public schools, the best possible knowledge and training to meet the issues of our time.” Every Tech student in 1958-59 gained greater understanding in classes of history, government, and modern social problems MR. WIEDMAN conducted directed study in his History V class the day this picture was taken. USING VISUAL AID, Mr. Goodrich instructed Lawanza Barger, Sandra Buhring, Linda Con- nelly, Margorie Rasmussen, and Rosalind Cutler as they studied climatic distribution patterns. STUDENTS OF MR. CALLANTINE ' S Govern- ment Class studied current problems in U.S. and State government. U.S. HISTORY VI, election time studied Course of study took through 1959. taught by Mrs. Byrne, at present and past elections, them from the Civil War 17 CHARLES PHELPS read for Mrs. Walburn ' s English II class. LEARNING TO DEVELOP speed and accuracy in read- ing was the main purpose of Mr. Rudd ' s Reading class. Vocabulary and comprehension were also stressed. TECH TAUGHT COMMUNICATION SKILLS - NECESSARY A democracy depends for life upon the ability of its citizens to talk, to listen, to read, to write effi- ciently and critically. Every Tech student was scheduled for seven semesters of language arts courses including study of American literature and public speaking. College prep English and business English were offered to seniors. TO A DEMOCRACY JIMMY SOLOMON HELPED CARRY on class discussion in Mr. Brown’s English IV class. During the year every student was given this chance. BOOK REPORTING was a routine part of Miss McCort ' s American Literature class. Here Elizabeth Swain made presentation of a novel she read. IN ENGLISH V CLASS Mr. Rice looked on as John Collins checked the correct spell- ing of a word. •S i at The senior girls studied business training to acquire an aware- ness that getting a job, holding the job, and making good on the job, require the planning and organization of one’s per- sonal, vocational and social lives. Units of study included not only business terms, office attitudes, and etiquette but also instruction in budgeting, insurance, investing, and other matters of importance of one’s own economic life. HELEN CONWAY and MARYANN BERZINIS were pictured as they practiced composing application letters in Miss Eastwood’s business training class. It was important that the letters be good so they would impress the employer enough for him to want to interview applicants in person. GIRLS IN BUSINESS training were given mock interviews. They dressed as if they were going for a real interview. The instructor asked questions that are ordinarily asked by personnel managers. Here Mrs. Rainey interviews Jackie LaFond, while in the back- ground Karen Weaver played the part of the receptionist and gave aptitude test to Janet Judy who was waiting to be interviewed. GIRLS WERE PREPARED FOR BOTH HOME AND JOB MICHELLE COLEMAN, Anna Hooper, and Judie Stepp worked on the fuse box in Miss Daggert’s Home Manage- ment class. Some of the subjects studied were window treatment, meters, house planning, and the buying of and caring for furniture. At Tech, girls were educated for both home and job. Academic courses, as well as shops, provided practical training. A girl studying to be a good homemaker would find herself in class studying budgeting, re- pairing iron cords, or learning how to care for the sick. A girl studying to be a businesswoman would learn the proper business English, what to do when being interviewed, and how to get along with different types of people. MRS. HIGGINS DISCUSSED with the freshmen, the budgeting and managing of a home in family living. GROOMING WAS ONE of the areas covered in Mrs. Alice Wood’s Home- making class. Here Yvonne Kiszienia practiced styling Linda Crouch’s hair. The girls also studied textiles, color, design, careers. This class is a part of the exploratory course in home eco- nomics given to 9 B and 9 A girls. MRS. McGILL, representative of Car- son, Pirie, Scott and Company, ad- dressed homemaking classes on good grooming and the importance of the proper use of make-up. HELEN COCHRAN and FRANCES CRANE used visual aid in the study of the ear in Miss Thomas’ Health and Safety class. Some of the units covered in the course were nutrition, and good health habits. Instruction in first aid was also given. FLORENCE SNOW and KAREN WILLIAMS practiced making an oc- cupied bed. Joan Peters was the patient. Under the supervision of Miss Thomas, the girls learned to care for the sick and injured. CALISTHENICS is an important part of all physical education classes. ELECTIVES ROUNDED OUT CLASS PROGRAMS Music, drama, art, Tech Times, Chart, and physical education were some of the many electives offered. THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PLANT in- cluded modern locker room facilities for girls. Left to right are: Joan Simon, Karen Saberniak, and Christina Buono as they changed for gym class. KARL SHAKE WORKED on the par- allel bars while the other members of his class looked on. Everyone was re- quired to take physical education dur- ing his freshman year. INSTRUMENTAL was a one-period elec- tive offered to students who wanted to learn to play instruments or to those who wanted to develop their talents so they could go into band. Here Mr. Robinson is instructing Charles Lakatos on the clar- inet. MUSIC APPRECIATION was a new class in 1958-59. Some of the units covered were Music and Dance, Music and Ceremony, Sightseeing Through Music, Music and Legends, and Magic and Phantom. Students learned to decide between different kinds of music. Pictured from left to right are a group from the class: Cathy Robley, Larry Clark, Bobette McCall, Wendell Donelson, Miss Volkman. instructor, and Sharon Luther. WORKING ON THEIR PROJECTS are Pat Dougherty, making jewelry; Laura Leader, weaving; Joe O ' Dea, paint- ing with water colors, and Sheldene Fegely, drawing with chalk. Miss Clency ' s Art class offered many different types of art work. ACTING OUT A SCENE from Heidi” are, from left to right: Sheldene Fegely, Sam Bo- zack, Kitty Carlson, and Bob Calabrese. The children’s play was presented on April 11 in Tech’s new auditorium by Mrs. Parre’s drama classes. JOURNALISM WAS A CLASS added to Tech’s curriculum in 1958-59. These students signed up for publications aftet completing the class. They ate, seated left to right: Olivia Love, Ann Ray, Donna Ptak, Sharon Ramsey, and standing. Bill Duncan, Diana Nabors, Joanne Beavers, Marilyn Rogers, and Connie Malkewicz. VOCATIONAL SHOPS ALSO AIDED TECHNICAL STUDENTS Auto, like most shops at Tech, was once considered training ground for only the student planning a future on the job. In 1958-59, he worked side by side with friends who wanted advanced training and careers in science and technology. The technical stu- dent could combine theory of class and lab with practical knowledge only shops can afford. Tech ' s first shops for girls were shorthand and typing. That was in 1921 when one typewriter was shared by both the office and the students. In 1958-59, hundreds of girls got thorough preparation for both home and business in fourteen modern, well- equipped shops. Boys’ shop offerings grew from one afternoon a week set aside for instruction in drafting by Mr. Benson to twelve separate shop programs which offer everything from pattern making to plumbing. The freshman boy in 1958-59 spent his year in four exploratory shops and got a sample of work in metals, wood, electricity, and drafting to see what suited him best. Every Tech student in 1958-59 was required to take shop work. A WELL-EQUIPPED, well-instructed shop in auto repair and maintenance offered student thorough training in an important job in our economy — auto mechanics. THIS WAS Mr. Galen A. Merrill ' s auto shop in the old Russell Street building in the late twenties. 26 A SCIENTIFIC PROJECT OF METAL OR TOOL - TECH STUDENTS MADE THEM Tech students in metal shops trained by making useful objects: scien- tific projects made of steel, a waste basket, or a bicycle rack. Much needed by area industry and construction, Tech’s offerings for training in crafts involving metal were the biggest share of the shop curriculum for boys. The three machine shops alone, with sixty sepa- rate machines, handled over 125 students in 1958-59. A student became familiar, too, with the whole process: from drawing to pattern to mold to lathe or to whatever was needed to complete the route in manufacturing a metal product. INSTRUCTION IN THE basic oper- ations of the lathe was the job Mr. Stecyk had when this picture was taken. In three shops boys became familiar with operations ranging from simple grinding to complicated lathe or mill- ing machine work. MATT NOLBERTOWICZ and DON MINARD worked on the drill press in Mr. Adaska ' s Machine I shop. DESIGNED TO HELP TRAIN stu- dents for plumbing or related pipe fit- ting trades, the plumbing shop course of study included cutting, threading, and assembling the various kinds of pipe used in allied pipefitting trades. A house frame in the shop was used for practice exercises in installation. A USEFUL SHOP BOB CHERRY tended an electric furnace in Foundry shop where he learned to melt metals and to pour them into various shapes through the use of sand molds. A student also had to know how to prepare a core and mold and how to use and care for a pattern in setting up a mold. HERE A CRACKED automobile engine block is being arc welded by Dan Cotterell in the Tech Welding Shop. The Welding department offered practical training in both oxy-acetylene and electric arc welding in the fields of repair and maintenance; job shop methods and prob- lems; and production welding processes and procedures in the fabrication of welded products made of both ferrous and non- ferrous metals. RICHARD PREISSIG and FRANK CROYLE, left to right, worked on pat- tern layout while Mr. Burris watched Bob Luther and Jack Burbridge punch and rivet metal. Sheet Metal shop work included setting up full scale designs from a blueprint, layout work, and fabrication. EXPLORATORY METALS SHOP, under the supervision of Mr. Emil Barney, was a freshman class. Students were given an opportunity to explore basic fields of in- dustrial metal work to see if they were suited for further training in the metals area. WOOD SHOP had as its main objective the development of a sound interest in basic woodworking and a general understanding of the opportunities in the woodworking trades. Students, like Jim Hoolehan, learned by experience the use and care of all carpenter tools, also a knowledge of good construction and design. TECH OFFERED ALL PHASES OF TRAINING IN WOODWORKING Training in woodworking at Tech stressed carpentry, cabinetmaking, and pattern making. Students became familiar with layout, design, types of lumber, and the uses of bench tools and of power machines. 28 THE COURSE IN PATTERN MAKING was designed to teach a student the funda- mentals of using hand tools and the pro- cedures for making patterns for the cast- ings which were used in the foundry. MR. STEMPER ' S Exploratory Wood shop students tested a door frame. The nine- week course was designed to see if stu- dents were suited for further training in the wood area. FOUR SHOPS GAVE TRAINING IN ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS TECH OFFERED the radio and T.V. shop. Electric III, for students wishing to enter the electronics field. It pro- vided the opportunity for them to become familiar with the basic circuits of radio and television. It also developed skills in the use of test instruments such as the voltometer, signal generator, and the oscilloscope. Students mindful of growing opportunities in electrical and elec- tronic fields trained in four well-equipped shops and learned every- thing from simple elementary circuits to skilled work in TV and motor repair. OBJECTIVE OF THE EXPLORATORY SHOP in electricity was to expose a student for the nine-week period to all phases of electrical work. STUDENTS IN ELECTRIC I, a begin- ning course, became acquainted with ele- mentary circuits like bells, telephones, and house wiring. Mr. Hobbs watched as Jap- kowski, Polak, Rietman, Kaminski, Neal, and Vavrek worked on the signal wiring boards. KALMAN BORBELY, Duane Kallen, and Bob Stout raised a motor on the hoist for Mr. Holloway’s inspection, in Electric II. This was an advanced class where students worked with motors, controls, and trans- formers, and repaired household appli- ances. ADVANCED TRAINING WAS OFFERED IN BOTH DRAFTING AND PRINTING In both PRINTING I and II, Tech students did forms, booklets, brochures, tickets and posters for all schools in Hammond, the school maintenance department, and the Board of Education. Equipment in the ad- vanced shop included two Miehle Vertical presses, two new Model 31 Linotype casting machines, paper cutter, and bindery equip- ment. The beginning shop, equipped with practice job-type cases, two platen presses, and an offset duplicator trained students for the advanced shop and helped produce The Tech Times. DRAFTING was offered to those who sought jobs as draftsmen, or job involving a knowledge of drafting, or advanced college training. A student headed for college got not only practice in normal drawing design work but also in the fundamentals of ortho- graphic projections, sections, auxiliary and revolved views, terms, symbols, and dimen- sions. EXPLORATORY DRAFTING was an introductory course of the basic tools used in drafting shops in industry. Lettering, dimensioning, pro- jection of three views, pictorial drawing, and sheet metal layouts were covered. DRAFTING SHOP was instructed by Mr. Schell. IN ADVANCED PRINT SHOP, Larry Stelow, Lynn Mathews, and Paul Schmidt fed the platen press while Mr. Schultz looked on. PREPARING THE OFFSET PRESS in Beginning Print shop for printing of The Tech Times were Bob Lennick and Dan Seeley. Dan was the student responsible for operation of the press • for the school newspaper. •■uii cr, — H Sr--- . s awn 1BJSJ R jh- l 1 TECH AVIATION WAS ONLY FAA APPROVED HIGH SCHOOL SHOP IN STATE With the only aviation training in an Indiana high school approved by the Federal Aviation Agency, two Tech aviation shops prepared future mechanics in both aviation power plant and aviation airframe. JOHN GADISH, Tom Cubit, and Ronald Howard, students of the power plant shop, carried theory of class in- struction to actual work on an aircraft engine. MR. HANSEN, instructor of the air- frame shop, guided students who were engaged in reconditioning an old air- plane. THROUGH ACTUAL PRACTICE on automobiles brought into the shop, stu- dents like Dick Roeper, left, and Kermit Gaither, right learned, under the direction of their instructor, Mr. Norris, to repair and maintain an automobile. They became familiar with the fuel, cooling, ignition, and electrical systems, also the power train. They also received instruction in the tun- ing up of a car and in the use of all hand tools and testing equipment. 31 2nd SEMESTER OFFICE PRACTICE .... First row, left to right: Crane, Mattingly, Burczyk, Fegley, Grabarek, Chandler, Borem, Ewing, Clauson. Second row: Med- ley, Marshall, Pittser, Herrin, Jevyak, Depa. MOST OF THESE SENIOR GIRLS did general office work in the main office while others worked for different teachers and co-ordinators. Their work included filing, typing, taking dictation, and operating the switchboard. 1st SEMESTER OFFICE PRACTICE First row, left to right: Bolek, Gassner, Stiller, Cox, Schau. Second row: Urban- czyk, Roop, Fischback, Klein, Lake, La Fond, Vandenbemden, Czaja, Daly, Sam- brookes, Mertens. BUSINESS STUDENTS TRAINED BY HELPING WITH SCHOOL ' S CLERICAL WORK The business course was designed to be as practical as possible. Advanced business students did actual production work; they took part in perform- ing clerical duties needed to operate the school. THE LIBRARIAN ASSISTANTS worked in the library for their training in office practice. There are also librarian volunteers who work for approximately ten minutes a day checking out books for students. The assistants and volunteers are, from left to right, Arlene Gillespie, Sharon Oiler, Pat Susko, Dick Messner. Olivia Love, Ross Howells, Margaret Consoer, Bob Doell. Eleanor Steven- son, Ruth Gawrys, and Miss Sproat. librarian. GIRLS IN TRANSCRIPTION CLASSES were sent out to take dictation from teach- ers who needed stenographic serivces. The first girls to qualify were, Alpha Hendon, seated taking dictation from Mr. Parson and, standing, left to right, Jan Lake, Ruth Hartman, Barbara Stiller, Janet Judy, and Carolyn Conover. MISS EASTWOODS Transcription class was an advanced class in shorthand. The girls ' goal was to take dictation and to transcribe letters with speed and accuracy. MISS HEBNER INSTRUCTED Joan Durall in Typing I class. This class was very important because students learned the rudiments of typing which could be applied to both personal and vocational use. GERRY KLEIN ran off copies on the mimeograph while Lorraine Czaja worked with the duplicator. The girls in Mrs. Kramer ' s advanced typing classes did actual production work for the teachers, such as typing and running off tests, question- naires, and as signment sheets. MRS. KRAMER’S advanced typing stu- dents learned to type invoices, tabulated reports, telegrams, many styles of letters, and other business papers which are used in offices. 33 CAROL DUMBLER ADVANCED to an Olivetti machine. THE GIRLS in Mrs. Arndt ' s Business Machines class learned to add, subtract, multiply, and divide on the Comptometer. To advance to more complicated machines, the girls were required to reach a degree of proficiency on all four operations. BUSINESS STUDENTS RECEIVED THOROUGH, DIVERSIFIED TRAINING In addition to the commercial courses such as stenography, typing, and bookkeeping found in most high schools, Tech offered separate shops in filing, business machines, and intro- duction to business. 34 MRS VELVA WOOD’S INTRODUC- TION to Business course laid the foundation for specialized studies in business, and provided basic training for retail selling. STUDENTS in Miss Dean ' s Filing class learned the different methods of filing. Enrollment cards were filed for the Board of Education. Standing, left to right, are: Consor, Pigg, Clauson, Weaver. Sitting are: Gerasin, Crane, Danforth, Gretz. FLORENCE STIGLITZ WORKED on a profit and loss display in Miss Flan- Ion’s bookkeeping class. Bookkeeping was important because it gave the stu- dent’s personal and business lives order and meaning. PAT RHEA and KAREN WEAVER prepared a project in advanced book- keeping that won them a certificate and a pin from the Gregg Publishing Company. This was their second award for superior work as they won the first in beginning bookkeeping. EVERY GIRL AT TECH was required to take clothing. The girls were taught to make hand stitches, hems, seams, and bias facings- — skills which helped in th ' e con- struction of an apron, a simple blouse, or a skirt. As students progressed, em- phasis was placed on children’s clothing, textiles and design, tailoring, alterations, and remodeling. SHERRY POMMERVILLE modeled an outfit she made in advanced clothing. ALL GIRLS WERE REQUIRED TO TAKE FOOD AND CLOTHING SHOPS Each Tech girl was required to take both foods and clothing shops as a part of her freshman year. This training was planned to be of value to the girl on a job or in the home. 36 SHARON CONLEY POSED taking a hearing test while the other nurse ' s assist- ants, Pat Pulkowski, Helen Conway, and Shirley Sotak, watched Miss Erickson, R. N., who operated the testing machines. These girls had a two-period shop to aid in the school nurse’s office. UNDER THE SUPERVISION of Miss HamiU, the girls learned to use laundry equipment in unit one of a new foods classroom. UNDER THE SUPERVISION of Mrs. Morgan, girls in Cafeteria Foods helped prepare food served to students. Regular cooks were also employed by the school. Here, two of the cooks, Mrs. Verne Morris and alumna. Miss Bonita Bomba, are operating some of the new equipment while student, Mary Slosser, is preparing food for serving. TECH ' S NEW main floor cafeteria ac- commodated 650 persons in one serv- ing. fm 1940 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM — First row, left to right: J. W. Thomas, Dick Haack, Captain; Stanley Shimala, Lou Birkett, coach; Bobby Kramer, Mike Bicanic, John Gaul. Second row: F. E. Benson, Former Director; Johnny Kielbowicz, Dick Smith, Bob Haack, Joe Abatie, and A. J. Zimmerman, faculty manager. STUDENTS IN SPORTS BENEFITED BY FACILITIES AND BY TRADITION A Tech team did the impossible despite a severe handicap: 1940 Tech cagers won the State Championship at a time when Tech was without physical education facilities. A great story can be made of this team, but one thing must be said: they best exemplified two traditions in sports at Tech — good teamwork and good sports- manship. These traditions were the guiding rule as early as the first sign of sports at Tech. That was in the Spring of ’24 when two senior boys got permission from Mr. Barrows, the director, to start a football team. These traditions remained as every new sport was added, despite the hardships of improvising facilities and of travel- ing distances to practice areas, common right up to 1951 when Tech moved to Sohl street and got its own physical education plant. In 1958-59, Tech students had the benefits of modern, adequate facilities — and of tradition. 38 Bob McClung drove in for a basket. JORGE ORTEGON DROVE toward the basket in an attempt to even the score in the game with Griffith. We lost 60 to 91. TECH CAGERS REMAINED SPIRITED DESPITE SEASON ' S RECORD A spirited team lacking experience fought gallantly throughout the season. They won 7 and lost 14. But the important aspect of the year was the thing Coach termed good morale.” Stan Bafia, junior, broke the school’s record for points scored in a single game when he tallied 40 points in the battle with Horace Mann. Stan also captured the Western Conference scoring title with 243 points. His season scoring record was 459- TOM ELMAN got a rebound during the Griffith game as Stan Bafia and Don Poole gave support. BAFIAN LAW : 1 ball, plus 1 toss, equals 1 basket. IN A HUDDLE during the Griffith game, Coach Bereolos talked about changing the offensive patterns. Coach Carlson and Coach Vieau gave moral support. A GRIFFITH MAN captured the ball but alert Tiger team kept eye on its whereabouts. HOMECOMING HIGHLIGHTED FOOTBALL MARY ODEA CROWNED Kay Donnelly Homecoming Queen dur- ing half time of our homecoming game with Emerson. SOME OF THE most spirited moral support for Tech men engaged in battle came from the bench itself. DURING THE HALF TIME against Emerson, Tech ' s homecoming queen, Kay Donnelly, was crowned. The contestants were, left to right, Beatrice Bolek, Brenda Herrin, Elaine Garaz, Myrtle Young, Linda Black. Gerry Klein, Barbara Stiller, and Kay Donnelly. SEASON Most colorful of all games in a season that had a record of 0 wins and 9 losses was the homecoming game with Emer- son. Adding to the color were the Tech Band and the Homecoming Queen and her court. LEGS, ARMS, and HELMETS — but where ' s the ball? A PRE-GAME RALLY was the student body version of the huddle, with Coach Bereolos again giving pep talk. ONE TWO THREE FOUR; who are we for? Tech varsity cheerleaders organized spectator sentiment favorable to the Tiger cause. WE WANT A TOUCHDOWN.” cried delirious Tech rooters as they urged Tech ' s team to push over the goal line. PEP ASSEMBLIES HELPED PROMOTE SPIRIT Frequent pep assemblies were designed to promote spirit before big games, to instruct and rehearse the student body in new and old cheers, to increase ticket sales, and to have just plain fun.” JIM ROTOS, one of the Misfortunes, cheered ' at a pep assembly. NEW B-TEAM CHEERLEADERS dis- COACH HOEMANN PRAISED his wrest- ling team for its good work. 44 played cheer leading abilities for the first time in a pep assembly. They are from left to right: Mary Ellen Misner, Irene Kozuch, Nini Nimerala, Linda Black, and Lynn Brimbury. AT PEP ASSEMBLIES the varsity cheerleaders introduced new cheers to the student body and practiced old ones. From left to right are: Linda Peifer, Marilyn Mullen, Nadine Waits, Jan Lake, and Donna Trigg. SWINGING AN EFFECTIVE BAT for Tig.ers in ' 59 were Paul Ahrens and Stan Bafia. AT WORK: Coach Vieau. FIFTEEN TEAMS WERE ENGAGED IN PLAY AT TECH DURING 1958-59 Fifteen teams, engaged in eight different sports in 1958-59, trained with ease in Tech’s modern physical education plant. During the year there were three teams each of football and basketball; two teams each of wrestling, track, and cross-country, and one team each of tennis, golf, and baseball. TEAM CAPTAINS are from left to right: Bill Snow, track and cross country; Stan Balia, basketball; Ted Gohus, track; Bob Gohus, football; Leonard Balka, football; Ken Ondas, tennis; Frank Croyle, wrestling; and Terry Carlson, golf. Not pictured is Paul Ahrens, baseball captain. THESE WRESTLERS, from left to right, Ray Klein, Frank Croyle, Burt Hoolehan, Steve Hoemann, Eu- gene Zyzanski, and Jim Lewallen qualified for the Regional. Of the six, two qualified for state and placed in State. Burt Hoolehan placed 2nd in the 133 pound class and Steve Hoemann placed 4th in the 145 lb. class. Tech ' s wrestling team won 130 matches and lost 59. They placed fifth in the Con- ference, second in the Sectional, second in the Reg- ional, and fourteenth in the State. Mr. Hoemann commented that they were good boys to work with. He felt that the quotation, Championships are won and lost in inches, ' ' held true to this year ' s team because many of the matches lost were very close. TECH TRACKMEN got necessary pre-meet work- outs under the coaching of Mr. Bereolos. ACTIVITIES TOOK ON NEW LOOK IN COMPLETED BUILDING Activities in 1958-59 were easier to plan with the addition of new facilities. Finding room had always been the biggest problem for conducting social events. In the early days of the Russell Street Tech, dances — for instances — were limited because of the vibrating effect caused by dancing feet. The third floor cafeteria was opened in 1926. They converted the cafeteria into an auditorium by rearrang- ing the tables to accommodate spectators. One attempt to improve this situation was the renting of space in a vacant build- ing across the street from the school. This building served many purposes, one as a gym and another as a place for dance. Even when Unit One of the new building was constructed, students still had to use a gym for concerts, assemblies, programs, and dances. But in 1958-59 such new features of a completed building as the cafeteria and the auditorium gave new life to activities. THE COUPLES DA NCED to the music of the Diplomats at the G. C. C. S. formal held in the cafeteria. 46 PUNCH WAS SERVED at the formal by members of the Girls Club. THE STUDENT PRACTICED NEW ROLES IN FORMAL OCCASIONS A proper part of any person ' s education includes the realization that formal situations demand a special way to act, to talk, and to dress. Prom and the annual dance, sponsored by the Girls Club for Christian Service, were two such occasions. RICHARD CHRISTY was photo- graphed with Gerri Cutler at the Prom. 48 GIRLS CLUB FORMAL chaperones were, left to right: Mr. Weidman, Mr. Schell, Mr. Hooper, Mr. and Mrs. Shreffler, Miss Ritter, Sponsor, Mr. Schaw, Mrs. Higgins, Sponsor.

He is an alumnus of Tech. TECH STUDENTS FOUND ADVENTURE IN SERIOUS THOUGHT A trip or an assembly was exciting adventure; making new friends, seeing new places, and grasping new ideas is the essence of adventure. One assembly brought students to grips with the most thrilling of all ideas: brotherhood, while a trip — to Wash- ington, D.C. — was a week’s worth of new faces, new places, and new ideas. THE SIGN SAID Hammond but they were looking forward to touring Wash- ington, D.C. as the train neared. These students represented Tech on the annual tour of our nation ' s capital.

Second Row: Russell Johnson, Lawrence Strode, Carl Neidow, Marcus Lichtle. ALBUM OF TECH STUDENTS - 1958-59 A seven-man class took diplomas in hand and became the first graduates of a new kind of school. Robert Meyers, William Washausen, Gilbert Soltwedel, Russell Johnson, Lawrence Strode, Carl Neidow, and Marcus Lichtle had just completed a four-year course at Hammond Tech — a high school that had been designed to help train student for careers in Calumet area’s rapidly growing industry. That was 1924. The school was still so young that this first class was graduated during ceremonies held by Hammond High School. Tech’s graduates now number thousands who have prepared during war and peace, prosperity and depression in shops and classes to meet needs and opportunities of time and place. Thrilling testimony of this was found in roles played by former Tech students and trainees during World War II. One group helped meet demands of war for vast quantities of equipment and materials because they took training in welding and machine shops in specialized operations to suit local employers. For awhile this training ran 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Though the lives of former students bear out Tech’s great service at any time, another dramatic example was given in 1958-59 as Tech began to educate vocational and technical students for space-age needs. Representative of students during this year were officers of the Senior Class. Bob Gohus: As a student at Tech, I was trained in Auto Shop. My future plans are to be in the automobile business. Paul Ahrens: I had a basic training in Electric Shop and also nine semesters of mathematics which will be a great asset to me when I enter Purdue University, where I will study electrical engineering. Bettye Chandler: My training at Tech was the General Clerical course. My future plans are to be employed in Civil Service work. Barbara Stiller: The wonderful training I have had at Tech will help me in my career, for I can go right out into the business world as soon as I graduate. Georgene Schau : I am planning to work ... as soon as I graduate in June. I will not have to go to a business college for additional training, for the train- ing is sufficient at Tech for a good future with good pay. Here, then, are the faces of those who, in 1958-59, trained at Tech. 70 OUTSTANDING Carolyn Conover — Attendance Gerald Stnr — Attendance Beatrice Bolek — Chart — Betty Crocker Award Ruth Hartman — Chart Katherine Carlson — Drama Blythe Cozza — Drama Janet Judy — Band Not Pictured is Bob Arnold — Band Brenda Herrin — G.
