TV Aided History Study 12 i r i i : I f I I I LLi : ‘Zr • i Highlighting social studies curriculum for 1961-62 was airborne television instruction. This was an experimental project which was carried on in Mr. John Wagner’s history classes for the first time in Tech’s history. Students on both the technical and vocation- al courses were required to take government, economics, U.S. history, world history, and geography. MIKE SELJAN, Jim Smiley, and Alice Gordon used latitude and longitude lines to locate specific places in the world while their instructor, Mr. Ross Goodrich, watched for mistakes. PARTNERSHIPS were the main topic being discussed in Mr. Callantine’s Economics class. MR CLYNE, front page of Journalism instructor, explained a newspaper to his class. the FAY REAVES, Marsha Remesnik, and Barbara Tucker used the glossary and dictionary for vocabulary exercises in their Special English II class. Tech Taught Communication Skills — Necessary The ability of citizens to talk, listen, read, and write efficiently and with understanding is essential to a democracy. Every student at Tech is required to take seven semesters of English. In addition, the pupils on the Technical Course are required to take eight semesters, the eighth course being English VII or composition. Also included on the curriculum are speech and literature classes. BOYS CONCENTRATED HARD on their reading lesson in Mr. Rudd’s Remedial Reading class. 14 fo a Democracy IN MRS.

BOYS in Mr. Waite’s General Science class grouped around the sink while the principle of water pressure was demonstrated by fellow classmates. Brought into use in 1961-62 were two new science rooms, built with the newest wing of the school. The Science Department also acquired such new equipment as analytical balances, air pumps, and PH meters as a result of an $8,000 matching government grant. MR. WELTY AND his physics students talked over their homework. . . . And There Were Electives Too! Among the courses offered to students at Tech, there were electives to choose from which were both enjoyable and educational. Students chose these classes in hopes of explor- ing different and new fields of learning. IF STUDENTS NEEDED extra time for homework, it was possible for them to have a study hall. MR. ROBINSON, band instructor, gave instructions to Thomas Hatfield, sousaphone player. WHILE IN VISUAL AIDS, Guy Eveland, Larry Trzupek, and Larry Henning learned to operate the opaque projector. MUSIC FORMS of various compositions were discussed in Miss Hartigan’s Music Appreciation class by, left to right, Webber, Freetz, Sobkowicz, Werner, Raschke, Miss Hartigan.

Also Electricity, Electronics For the Tech students interested in electrical work, the 1961-62 curriculum offered a choice of four shops — Exploratory Electric, required of all fresh- men; Electric I, basic instruction in house, telephone, and signal wiring; Electric II, which included motor and appliance repair, and Electric III, an advanced course in electronics. BOYS IN ELECTRIC II were given the opportunity to repair motors and electrical appliances. A COMBINATION RADIO and T V. chassis was repaired by Mike Drapach and William Gray in Electric III. 32 TECHNICAL DRAFTING SHOP students worked on assignments. Tech Offered All Phases of Drafting All phases of blueprinting, drafting, and freehand sketching were offered at Tech. On the technical course, engineering drawing covered all material useful to an engineer. Mechanical drawing, a similar subject, was designed for boys on the vocational course. It gave them a knowledge of working draw- ings and sketches for use on the job. The regular drafting shop covered all phases of drafting and blueprinting and was set up for the boys planning to become professional draftsmen. Exploratory draft- ing was an introduction to basic drafting procedures. MR. CASPERSON EXPLAINED the principles of an auxiliary view to Larry Brown and George Ptak. JIM RUTZ MADE a detail of a vise for the Pattern Shop while his Drafting Shop. THE BLUEPRINT MACHINE was operated by Dan Slaman and Larry Cramer. THE BOYS in Mr. Casperson’s Drawing class worked on problems from the book. 33 Students Helped Print for School System Tech’s two printing shops, Printing I and Printing II, taught students basic procedures and more com- plex operations used in this trade. Printing I taught manual typesetting and the use of offset and platen presses. Advanced students in Printing II were taught the use of vertical presses and the Linotype machine. They also did all of the printing for the Hammond schools and the Board of Education. WORKING ON AN Automatic Cylinder Printing Press in Printing II were Ralph Morrison and Bill Fowle. ROY LUNDMARK, James Howell, Dennis Redar, and Michael Ryba worked hard at turning out address cards in Mr. Iannone’s Printing I shop. THE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE of an auto was taught by Mr. M. A. Norris in his Auto Shop. TONY MORGAN and Chuck Higgins ran an inspection on an aircraft engine in Mr. Ford ' s Aviation Shop. . . . Also Repaired Auto and Aircraft Engines AUTO SHOP students in 1961-62 learned how to use hand tools and testing equipment. They learned how to tune up a car and to repair fuel, cooling, ignition, and electrical systems of auto- mobiles. Autos worked on were those belonging to teachers and students. AVIATION SHOP students studied the theory of engine repair and then put the theory to prac- tice on real aircraft engines. MISS K.LUS explained the keyboard diagram to her Comptometer I class. 36 Business Students Helped School with Clerical Vl ork Fundamentals of business were taught in 1961-62 to prepare students for future partime or full-time jobs.

These words were made a reality with a 4-4-1 season tallied by the ’61 Tigers. The Tigers’ new head coach, Walt Viel- lieu, had this to say of the spirit shown by the sea- son’s gridders, “The attitude, desire, and enthusiasm of this year’s team made the past season one to remember and enjoy. The seniors on this team can be proud of their leadership and example.” LARRY CROUGH gained yardage.

Food + Leisure or Study = Lunchtime In 1961-62, students had more to do and more time to do it during the lunch hour. The lunch hour was ex- tended from thirty-five to forty-five minutes. With this increase in time, students were able to eat their lunch at leisure and enjoy other activities such as volleyball, basket- ball, dancing, and listening to their favorite records. Pupils were also able to study or read in the library or just sit around and talk. 62 Social Life Included Parties and Dances An important part of school life in 1961-62 were the good times at formal and informal parties and dances. At these social gatherings appropriate dress and conduct were discovered as being im- portant. GIRLS WERE INITIATED for Y-Teens at the Y.W.C.A. Youth Center. 64 THE CHA-CHA was one of the many dances that students participated in at the Junior-Senior party. STUDENTS PARTICIPATED in the game “apple on a string” at the Flash and Clash Party.

Dean Henriette Steiner Cassell C. Wiedman A TRIBUTE TO THE TEACHERS Through Tech’s doors walks progress, In the form of meager man, He has a job to do and he’ll do it If he can. The students don’t give credit, Some don’t even know, The work and worry it takes, To make a young mind grow. Young minds build our nations, And old minds teach the young, They deserve the credit, So let their praises be sung! The 1962 Chart staff, on behalf of the students and faculty of Hammond Tech- nical Vocational High School, wish to ex- press gratitude to Mr. Burris, Miss Dean, Miss Steiner, and Mr. Wiedman for the many years of fine service in helping make Tech a great school.

They decided (as we hope you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help them plan their future. Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe- cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car- penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro- grams, or they can continue their formal education by registering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers. Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities for you in steel . . . with the midwest’s own steel company . . . INLAND STEEL.
