Drama provides Tech students with entertainment, as well as theatrical experience. They have full control of the auditorium in preparing for dramatic presentations. Interest in drama while in high school could hopefully lead to later professional work. Plays Presented “Bell, Book, and Candle” “The Clown Who Ran Away” “Arsenic and Old Lace” All grades are considered in part selections. The students work in the area they feel most comfortable in. They get points on what they help in. This includes helping with the stage equipment, helping with lights and curtains during plays, and other jobs. 12 for Tech: basketball homecoming % i Tigers showed their spirit at pep assemblies. . . . then there’s this funny looking guy.

Homecoming spirit activities climaxed by annual float parade, queen, court This year more than 75% of the student and faculty bod- ies participated in one or more of the dress-up days. These included Old Fashioned Day, Come As You Are Going to Be Day, Hat Day, Kiddie Day, and Masquerade Day. Homecoming Day started off with a parade of floats made by students. The afternoon contained the Tug-of- War, powder puff, and tricycle race. During the game half-time that night the Homecoming Court was announced, with Beverly Sangster as Queen. Other court members were Cindy Solan, senior, Sharon Stevens, junior, Cindy Love, sophomore, and Viola Smith, freshman.

Another underclass— dominated Tennis season has made history at Tech. Though a year of ups and downs, racket- men were able to pull two solid wins from their endless bag of tricks. A 4-1 win over E. C. Washington and a 3-2 victory over E. C. Roosevelt. Seasons end was marked by a 2-4 record, and fifth place in conference competition. With a minimum of one year already under the belt, those returning men will be on their way to finding a de- served winning season in ’74.

With a grimacing expression on his face, Mick Banik races through the Chute, ending a very painful race. The proper combination of experience and youth proved to be the key to success in the ’72 cross country season. The runner’s excellent season is rated as one of the best in Tech’s history. This season’s dual meet record was 12-4 as only the re- gion’s finest squads could top the Tigers. In the confer- ence meet the Tigers took second, and in a sectional of 24, Tech placed sixth. The frosh-soph squad took first place in both the city meet and conference meet. The desire effort displayed by our runners in the 72 sea- son should help to produce even better teams in the future.

The team posted a dismal 2-8 record, but high-lighted the season with an 18-0 trounce of the Whiting Oilers before a jubilant Homecoming crowd. Bad luck plagued the gridders from the beginning, as Bishop Noll squeaked past Tech 14-13 in the season opener. An offensive display marked the Tigers second effort, losing the contest to to Gavit’s Gladiators 63-40. E. C. Roosevelt continued the plague beating the Tigers 21- 12. Tech traveled to Lowell where they were handed their fourth straight defeat, 24-21. Eventual conference champ Morton soundly disposed of the Tigers 49-8, then arch- rival Hammond made it six straight 20-13 in a thrilling confrontation. Tigers finally got it together blanking the Oilers 18 zip. Clark pioneered their way to 16-12 halt of Tiger ex- press, but Tech came back to top Washington 18-13. Sea- son was capped by a 34-6 loss at the hands of conference- leading Chesterton, rounding out Tigers 2-8 slate. Sieve Wojciechowski cans would-be scorer. 48 Row 3— M. Havens, G. Maman. M.

Impressive 3-3-3 season gained by frosh Respectability well describes frosh football and their sea- son’s end. An overall 3-3-3 is certainly and unusual record, but impressive none the less. Frosh players experienced almost everything, tying 8-8, 6- 6, and 0-0, as well as winning a big with 20-0 shutout vic- tory over ECR and losing big, 0-35 to Morton. A 2-0 forfeit win over Whiting also added to the varying season statis- tics. Frehman football has compiled a two-year, 8-7-3, record.

Senior Swimmers boast successive .500 seasons Bill Miles, Senior. A young Tech swimming team finished the season with a totally unsurprising record. Their .500 season of 8-8 is again quite an accomplishment considering the fact that they didn’t have a pool. The team was lead by five se- niors, but a dedicated group of underclassmen carried a lot of the weight. Swimmers entered the Griffith in- vitational and faced some of the finest teams in the re- gion. Tech ' s fine effort gained them a 6th place finish. Ti- gers competed in one of the toughest sectionals in the state, and finished in 8th place. The highlight of the sea- son was the school record set this year in the 400 yard Freestyle relay by Bob Harrold, A1 Stankovich, Cliff Al- ley, and Jim Mooney. Sophomore Cliff Alley readied for the gun ' s sound. Wrestlers climax to sectional crown Waller Ingle receives ribbon for his first place effort in sectional competition. In spite of a slow start, Tech managed a .500 season in dual meets. After dropping three consecuti ve matches, they came on strong and took five out of their last seven. In the conference tourney, Tigers took fifth and placed fourth in the conference standings. In the ECW In- vitational, Tech managed an excellent third against strong competition. Tigers put it all together at the right time and came out of the sectionals as surprising winners. Dave Angelucci, Darrell Brown, Walt Ingle, Dan Moore, and Fred Marisett all advanced to the regionals, where they took a team fourth. Desire and teamwork are the two words that best de- scribe the B-Team wrestlers. Whatever was lacking in tal- ent and expreince was made up for with hustle and deter- mination. When a victory was recorded, it was a team victory, when they lost, it too was as a team. Inexperience caused a slow start, but after losing on their first two outings, they got on the right track. There was no stopping them. They recorded eight consecutive victo- ries climaxing the season with a 63-3 win in the last match. In tournament action, Tech took a commendable second in Frosh competition. B-team ended with a some- what disappointing fourth. Darrell Brown attempts to break down opponent. 54 VARSITY WRESTLING: Standing-Caoch Mastej, Dave Angelucci, Dar- Emlund; Kneeling— Rudy Martinez, Jack Callahan, Orlando Ortegon, Bill rell Brown, Mike Ramirez, Eddie Reed, Walter Ingle, Dan Moore, Coach Cibson, Glen Cherry, Robert Green, Fred Marisett.

B-Team watched for signs of future hope The winning of the B-Team Holiday Tourney was the highlight of the season, as Tech’s reserves rambled to a 14-7 season. The main reason for this success was the two big men— Carl McPipe and Charles Comer— who together accounted for more than 50% of the team’s 916 points. To follow up that incredible statistic, try this: The same two men accounted for more than 68% of the team’s rebounds! But this was not a team of only two men— the rest of the team, of course, was a very big factor. After two quick losses at the start of the season, the Ti- gers pulled together a string of four straight wins. After a 12 point loss to state finalist SB Adams, another string of wins began, this one going five games and including the Tourney Championship. The rest of the season saw seven more wins and 4 losses added to the final slate. The high- light of the latter half of the season was a 27 point thrash- ing of Pine Village. The biggest part of the team will move up to varsity for nest year’s play, as the varsity was composed of nine se- niors. The outlook is good— especially with the height that is returning. Harrassed by a stern defense. Van Watson desperately looks for fellow teammates. 63 “LEARNING, ” Summary of frosh season Tech’s Larry Upshaw (20) drives. Rebounding is Greg Thompson. The first year of basketball at Tech can best be described as a learning year. The freshmen practices are centered around the teaching of fundamentals to prepare them for three more years of basketball. The Tigers inexperienced freshmen team suffered through a dismal season. After the long campaign, Tech managed only two victories against 11 losses, but gained experience that should prove invaluable in the upcoming years. Ricky Tarvar and Larry Upshaw backcourt combo. Battling Damon Hill, (33), rebounds against Clark. Tiger Jeff Crooks finds open man underneath. 65 Tech kickers nosedive at season’s end Fullback Dan Semanick thwarts a Gavit breakaway.

A 2-5-2 season record was not what Coach Shields’ Tigers anticipated but that’s what they got. A tie with Morton started the season for the Tigers on the right foot. Tech then promptly subdued Gavit 1-0 before dropping a 2-1 decision to H.H.S. Beating Clark 4-1 was all the Tigers could muster the rest of the schedule, which started with a tie to the powerhouse Governors for the second straight time before losing to H.H.S., Gavit and Clark to end a very disappointing year. The playoffs offered new hope for the Tigers but a key injury to Tech’s goalie sent them reeling away as the Tigers dropped a 2-0 decision to Mor- ton.

Gem of a season twinkle trackmen’s eyes Senior Golo Dejesus leads in hurdles. Tracksters from Hammond Tech had a fine 1973 season. The younger Tigers proved their worth by winning the I.L.S.C. frosh-soph championship for the third year in a row. The frosh squad appears to have great potential, also, fin- ishing a strong second in the freshmen conference meet. Varsity squad based their winning ways on consistently strong performances from all of the team’s members. Trackmen compiled a hard-earned 6-3 record in dual meets with the help of several superstars. In conference action. Tigers easily defeated all foes with one exception, to place second in the always tough Lake Shore Conference. In the Hammond Relays, Tech estab- lished themselves as one of the Calumet Region’s track powerhouses by placing third against a field of 16 teams. Another fine showing by the Tiger s was in the Clark Relays where Tech took first in Division 1. The most important meet of the track season is of course the Sectional and Tech was up to the occasion with a strong third place as Randy Qualls, Rich Madeka, Willie Perkins, Dave Aulph, and the mile relay squad made the trip to Lafayette. New school records were set in five events: Bruce Doell’s 10:15-2 mile; Rich Madeka’s 1:56.8- 880; Rudy Martinez’s 12’-pole vault; 2-mile relay squad of Doell, Jablonski, Aulph and Madeka’s 8:09.8, and Paul DeBarge Barge now holds best discus toss at 113 ' 8 .

A 9-15 record isn’t quit what baseball Coach Vieau had in mind at the start of his season, but that’s what they ended up with. No more— no less. Tech started off flattening H.H.S. but lost to B.N.I. Strong pitching helped stifle Clark and double-header was split with H.H.S. in make-up games. St. Francis stopped the Ti- gers 7-4 before the team trounced River Forest and E.C. Washington 7-4 and 4-2. After that. Tigers took a nosedive, losing their next six outings. In that span they were outscored 36 to 15. A 12-5 decision over Whiting broke the long dry spell, before dropping three more to give Tech a 12-6 record with just a few weeks until sectionals. Tigers beat Clark, Whiting, and highly-touted Highland to split the last 6 games. In the first-round of the Whiting sectional, Tech was pit- ted against powerhouse Munster in a thrilling pitching dual which saw Tigers bow out in a 2-1 decision. D. Richardson, R. Bush, F. Muka.

After a disappointing 3-24 overall record last year, golfers put together a 12-2 conference record for Tech’s first golf trophy ever. Paced by Bruce Riebe, Jerry Stolarz, and Andy Vauter’s 44.4, 44.6, and 45.2 respectfully, Tech subdued sectional champs Gavit, and powerhouses Hammond High and Clark on their way towards excellence. At the half way mark, the golf team had a 4-0 conference lead, and an 8-8 record overall. Tigers continued to domi- nate their opponents and in so doing took six of their last ten outings. In the sectionals, the wonder boys were tied by Gavit for the championship. Bruce Riebe was sectional metalist, shooting a great 79. He advanced to the regionals in Lafayette. Steady Brian Riebe takes a practice swing. 72 Dr. Robert L. Medcalf Superintendent of Schools, Ed. D., Education, Indiana University William E.

Staff finds pleasures after school Though a teacher’s work is never done, most Tech staff members found time for fun and recreation. The annual Christmas party was celebrated at the Jockey Club and mid-year hosted a retirement luncheon for Mrs. Grace Eggers. Dr. and Mrs. Carter hosted faculty and their guest at an open house at two separate occasions and the Ham- mond Shop Teachers Organization enjoyed get-togethers at their annual winter and spring parties. Fellowship was also obvious at the Tech Bowling Team held off their foes for another year and many groups trav- eled to Chicago to see the Cubs play on occasion. 76 Mr. Adaska doesn’t look happy as the Tech league practices up at . . n , , Stardust Mr Bcreolos believes in keeping fit-running is important to daily exercise.

I ' m embarassed! Just passin thru . . . ♦ “Romeo, oh Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? English classes insititute seminars 132 The new and ever-growing Instructional Material center proves a gratifying working area for Tech students. English classes remain the stepping stone to the world of thoughts and dreams. Journalism student Frank Bejar does one of the small but many vital jobs required before publication. Hope Carrillo and Maria Roman contribute their layout skills in Journalism. The language arts program at Hammond Tech is com- prehensive in its scope. It includes the broad range of areas usually found in high school English, from vocabu- lary, spelling, modern usage, composition, reading com- prehension, propaganda analysis, newspapers, maga- zines, library skills, listening skills, and parliamentary procedures to the selection and reading of good literature. Within the language arts area the student may also find some special interest areas. The area of journalism in- cludes the school newspaper and the yearbook. The area of drama affords the student instruction in all phases of acting, make-up, and stagecraft. Figuring out how to work this instructural instrument (sextan) is half the fun of using it. In the beginning, the whole procedure of working out these numbers was nearly impossible; now it’s not. Social studies relates world to students Students in Mr. Wesley’s government class prepare a political platform. During the four years of high school, Tech students are required to learn more about their state and nation through specialized courses as well as through other sub- jects. The required classes of similar nature in social studies are geography, World History I II, economics, government, and United States History. Geography is a freshman course stressing the use of maps and locations of the states and other countries. World his- tory classes teach ancient times and the development of the world as seen today. Basic fundamentals of our gov- ernment are taught during the senior year, as well as an approach to understanding the country’s economics system. United States History unfolds the complete development from colonial and exploration times of North America. Tony Baldwin and Rene Trevino utilize class time to finish assignments. Debbie Crowe explains the traits of a good tax system in Mr. Emlund ' s government class. Debbie Littrell and Tim Engle prepare a dis- cussion for U. S. History. Learn-by-doing becomes science method There are a variety of science classes offered by Tech to any student who wishes to take part in any experiment or group and class discussion involving and pertaining to that class. The students on the technical course, which prepares them for college, are required to take two se- mesters of biology, chemistry, and physics, in that respec- tive order. On the other hand, students not planning to go to college or planning to learn a trade must take general physical science, and health and safety. Biology helps the students in understanding the com- position of organism of the simplest structure, such as the amoeba and planerian, to the organisms of the most com- plex structure such as the human. Dissections are an im- portant part in the class. It gives the student a chance to experience in seeing the organs in insects and other small animals. Chemistry, on the other hand, has very little if anything to do with living matter. In chemistry, formulas and ex- periments are dealt with by students working at their own pace apart from the rest of the class. Mathematics are very important in chemistry because they serve as a means of solving unfinished formulas. Health and safety, which is usually taken by freshmen, teaches the basics of fundamentals of the human body and its functions and malfunctions. 138 139 V Rose Gutierrez and Lillian Lopez get it together in Spanish class. Spanish and art students express themselves Art provides the facilities. Art is offered as an elective or shop area to interested or talented students. Beginning art stresses fundamental drawings with materials medias such as pencil, chalk, charcoal, crayon, ink, and mixed medias. Higher level art courses is a developmental course ex- ploring color and design through medias of paint and ma- nipulative materials. First year Spanish is the learning year. It teaches the dif- ferences from the Spanish sounds and English sounds. A little reading is done for the experience. As the semesters progress, more and more is learned. The material gets more difficult but the knowledge accumu- lated makes the study enjoyable. During higher level Spanish, practically all work is completed in the lan- guage and much is learned about the culture. 141 “Caring for others and yourself” Home nursing allows students to learn of health care for their own selves and that of others. Others include people of their own age, people generations older, and people generations younger with the various ailments particular to each set. The vitamins located in food are taught for nutrition while making a bed with a patient in it can also be found beneficial to these interested students. Baby care is one of the most interesting topics of the class; this section deals with the reproduction as well as the care of the baby. Rose Alexander and Donna Abbot demonstrate how to change a fuse. Miss Miller, Vernessa Isbell, and Sue Patterson demonstrate the flam- mability of certain fabrics in consumer education. Consumer and homemaking education philosophy in- cludes meeting the needs of students. Preparing the indi- viduals to manage total resources and develop a satis- factory life within personal and group living. Some of their learnings were clothing, food preparation and textiles. Girls learn how to care for fabric, which kind of material will burn, and all the different kinds of names that fab- rics have. They go on to detail grooming items, such as clothing, hair styles, and the care of the body. Also they learn about food preparation and nutrition. These home economics classes help understand life. 143 Girls improve skills with chest stands. David Ward camps under a fly ball in gym. H. S., P.E., improve physical understanding Here at Tech, physical education has a two-semester re- quirement. Usually, freshmen year acknowledges its fin- ish. Uniforms are provided by students as is the muscle. Developing strength and improving skills, as well as atti- tudes, becomes the goal. This physical activity will prove beneficial in later life. Health and Safety has made its way to the required course here at Tech. In the class room, human body, cells, tissues, and organs are learned about. “A knowledge of self is essential for human understanding.” A i A Health and Safety students learn from models (below). Plan ahead for the business world The expanding field of computers has opened many jobs in business areas, and Tech has moved along with the needs of its students with Data Processing, Tab Lab, and Keypunch. Introduction to Data Processing is a class designed to fa- miliarize sophomore students with data processing and the punched card system. Basic principles that will be used in Keypunch and Tab Lab are taught, and students are given the chance to see if this field is right for them. Keypunch gives extensive practice on the card punch and the verifier. Students from all over the Calumet Region come to Tech to learn the basic functions in this field. Mary Grantham, a student from HHS. works on the ‘‘83 machine. Mr. Reyome explains the correct solution to a problem in Introduction to Data Processing. 146 I know I did it right this time . . . the machine made the mistake!!! Jenny Papp prepares morning attendance cards in Tab Lab. Tab Lab may be taken after Introduction to Data Process- ing. The first semester course stresses individual projects and instruction. Extensive practice in wiring and the op- eration of unit-record-data processing equipment is also given, and is carried on to more advanced Tab Lab II. Programming is studied in detail in the second semester course, and more complicated problems come into play. Business career preparations made Students in Business Machines learn the basic operating techniques and skills. All fundamental operations such as touch addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are covered. The function of the various machines are ex- plained and compared with other machines. The basic course should prepare students for entry into jobs which require only basic knowledge of the machine such as bill- ing, adding sale slips, invoice adding. Karen Shook gets experience on the telephone. Students learn to operate the different machines. 148 Office experience gained in I.O.L. I. O. L., Intensive Office Laboratory, is a final course in the business department which is designed to give stu- dents experience which should help them after gradu- ation. The students learn various jobs similar to those done in an office, such as typing, shorthand, and dicta- phone usage. This shop meets for two hours each day and is mainly taken by senior girls on the stenographic course. Materials used in the lab have been written by business- men, teachers, and coordinators. The course requires no daily assignments or evaluation. General attitude and at- tendance are considered important. Kathy Cole makes a copy on the Ditto machine. Pam Rogers does an assigned project on the Ten Key Machine. From pumping gas to selling jewelry, DE students practice good salesmanship Distributive Education class is concerned mainly with selling and retailing. Students taking this class usually have a half-day job in the field of sales. This includes ev- erything from pumping gas to selling jewelry. D.E. is taught by Mr. Speelmon. Through the use of text- books and in-school demonstrations, students are in- structed in the ways of good salesmanship. Students in this program are required to take a fourth- hour related class. A first floor display case was part of the DE program. 150 Patti Hammonds fulfilled working assignment at Hoosier State Bank. 151 Classroom demonstrations are included in Distributive Education. Filing essentials aid to future clerks Filing provides students with a basic knowledge of al- Sheila Hubbard and Kris Kras get work sheets in filing class, phabetizing and filing cards. Students work at their own speed. Students by doing this become familiar with dif- ferent types of filing systems. The last few months are spent on business law. Here they learn about court and law procedures. Shorthand, typing stress speed and skill Many Tech students go on after graduating to office work. Certain skills are required in the office. Girls tak- ing typing have many semesters to go on to. There are four semesters to take. In Typing I the basic skills are taught such as where the keys are, and some margin rul- ings. InTyping II, students are taught a little more in typ- ing letters and manuscripts. Typing III and IV concen- trate on increasing speed and accuracy, while working on more difficult problems. Students also learn how to oper- ate the Ditto machine. Shorthand I helps the students become familiar with the shorthand forms and techniques in writing. Shorthand II concentrates on increasing their speed. Girls completing shorthand II may go on to Transcription. Pam Furtrell completes her lessons in Shorthand. Treva Johnson sets margins in Typing III class. 153 Food preparation stresses specialties Norma Guzman checks her popovers to make sure everything is all right. Right: Cleaning up after cooking is a responsibility learned in foods. “Oh, these eggs are good!” exclaimed Mary. “If I hadn’t taken foods, I might never have learned to cook an egg!” Foods I is a required class in which the basic food groups and breads, cereals, fruits, and vegetables are taught. Girls also learn how to serve guests seated at the table. Some of the first things cooked are cinnamon toast and hot chocolate. Students within each group have an as- signed task, which is rotated from time to time. After gaining such knowledge as the proper use of most cooking tools, many girls decide to continue studying in the field of foods and enroll in Foods II. Unlike Foods I, Foods II meets for two hours, which enables class partici- pants to learn the preparation for special and larger meals. 154 - -4 4 V i ‘ 5 Clothing teaches personal pride “I can’t believe I did the whole thing!” sighs Carrie as she looks at her new skirt. This completed skirt included all of the lessons she had been taught during Clothing I class in a nutshell. To make that one skirt, she had to lay out the pattern, mark the darts on it, cut out the skirt, sew the different parts together, hem the almost finished skirt, and then wear it. Making this skirt also included threading the ma- chine, changing the foot for installation of the zipper, in- serting the needle into the machine. She found during making this one garment that hemming a skirt or any gar- ment can be done in more than one type of stitch. Ad- vanced clothing classes teach further sewing techniques as well as the use of various types of fabrics which are more difficult to work with. Sewing requires thought as Bridget Brown assembles her pattern pieces. Below: Girls learn more than basics about clothing construction. 155 Above: Dan Kerner works on lathe in exploratory woods. Above Right: Phil Talifero makes a blue- print in exploratory drafting. Lower Right: Larry Ingle arid Norman Camp tie wood in exploratory woods. Exploratory woods students must construct a sanding block. Other than this requirement, the students must do a wood project with reasonable success of interest to him. 4 Requirements for exploratory drafting include doing one ■ scale house or garage plan. Both exploratory courses fol- low essential textbook training. 156 Exploratory shops offered in wood, drafting As the Titanic sunk slowly into the ocean the exploration of metals continued. While the first rocket was launched, the exploration of metals and their uses was still continuing. Exploratory metals is a required school cl ass in which freshmen students are given an opportunity to explore basic fields of industrial metal work. During a nine week course, a total of ninety shop hours are yielded to benefit the student. In exploratory electrics freshmen learn to wire circuits, determine voltage, resistance, and amperage. Making gen- erators, electric magnets, and transformers are also some of the many projects involving the students. Through the use of books, tools, and electrical equip- ment, students learn to work with electricity effectively. Melvin Hester hammers a chisel in exploratory metals shop. Basics learned in exploratory shops Two students gain foundry experience in exploratory metals. 158 Books aid students to understand in exploratory electrics. 159 Since Egyptian times man has been writing on different kinds of metal. Today sheet metal is a combination of drawing on metal and paper. Mathematics is also used to compute the al- lowance for a seam or to find the circumference or the radius. In sheetmetal, much work is done for other shops and schools such as making smokers, waste baskets, foul in- dicators, tool carriers, and duct work for book holders. I. John Russell uses care and safety measures while welding. Mr. Kennedy instructs Don Martin and Randy Qualls. 160 Royce Little and John Drzich continue projects in sheet metal. Welding, sheet metal develop skills Students in welding learn fundamental operations such as basic welding and arch welding. They also build welds and make fillet welds. Students later advance to special operations such as hori- zontal, vertical, and overhead welding. Regular eval- uation is an important part of welding. After all this training, the students completing the course will have the training of certified welder. 161 Robert Green works on television adjusting in Mr. Buehrle’s electronics shop. Demonstrations are important in industrial electrics. 162 Students taught electrical techniques “CRASH” thundered an immense noise! Lightning filled the night sky with streaks of day. Lightning was the first form of an electrical power. Now that Mr. Ben Franklin has captured it, we have found many uses for the power of electricity. Students in industrial electronics become familiar with the different kinds of electrical equipment. They learn the basic principles of electronics and the different parts of radios and televisions. Interested students of technical electronics are prepared with the necessary knowledge and working skills that are needed in the field of electronics. This type of electronics prepares students who plan to branch out as electricians of the future. Vocational electronics is closely related with technical electronics. In this shop the boys prepare themselves in the engineering fields at the technical or university levels. Instructions at side, knowledge at hand. Joseph Tokarz strives for excellence in television repair. Sam Rodgers gets instructions from Mr. Mastej in General Shop. Students learn shop techniques “Gosh that class is great,” yells Bruce as he tries to en- courage his friends whose choice is theirs as to which shop to take. General shop is a developmental class where students learn basic shop skills and theories are taught at a level where students can obtain the material more clearly and at his own capacity. The area of concen- tration are woods, plastics, and drafting. Students usually spend a semester or two in an area, then he is ready for the regular shop work credit. In each area the teacher teaches the basic skills and basic theories of shop through various projects that the stu- dents build. Richard Springer clamps project together in General Shop. 164 Practical Services is designed to help students become fa- miliar with different shops. The girls learn to plan for a family, and how to budget their money. Girls also learn how to care for different materials. The girls may discuss problems they have in buying certain materials, and problems of their social life. The teachers have no certain supplementary materials for the students. The teachers hand out job sheets which are made for the students. The students are allowed to work at their own speed, on projects they have to accomplish. Practical Services helps young homemakers Linda Robinson irons in Practical Services. 165 Vocational drafting covers many areas “Mmmm good,” exclaimed the thoughtful caveman as he looked at the diagram of the working wheel he had drawn. He had just completed one of the first jobs of drafting. Drafting is planning ideas, sketches and instruc- tions on paper. This planning of ideas on paper, later to be completed products, is done with the tools of a drafts- man; examples of these tools are: compasses, slide rulers, pencils, dividers, protractors, triangles, machines that can combine the functions of several devises, also handbooks on engineering. The caveman might have used a club, a sharp rock, and a slate; but the idea is still the same, to put down information needed to help produce an idea. Vosational drafting is a four semester course in which you receive two credits per semester. Basic knowledge of drafting is taught, letting each student achieve at his own rate and to choose which area of drafting he wishes to continue in. Different areas of drafting are: Technical Il- lustration, Architecture, Machine Design, Electrical, and Structural Drafting. Creativity, neatness, accuracy and a mechanically in- clined mind are also useful achievements to have if draft- ing is your career choice. John White is solving a geometric construction problem utilizing a large compass. 166 A great deal of concentration is needed in drafting according to Richard Jablonski. Bill Putney is discussing an architectural problem with Mr. )andura. Drawing mechanics offered to boys Since ancient times man has come a long way from picto- rial drawing. Mechanical drawing teaches students to properly use and care for a wide range of drawing in- struments: T-square, triangles, protractors, compasses, dividers, curves, and scales. Teaching, to be more inter- esting and more effective, takes many forms: Lectures, filmstrips, overhead transparencies, chalkboard illustra- tions, demonstrations, personal instruction, study peri- ods, oral reviews, and testing. The preceeding orientation to mechanical drawing history and tools requires approx- imately three weeks; the remaining sixteen weeks afford the student the opportunity to work and learn in as many of the following mechanical drawing areas as possible: Orthographic projection, detail, assembly sections, geo- metric production, schematic pattern, development gears, and cams, map, and profiles. 168 Mr. Shryock and Rodney James discuss a drawing. Art Gilmore studies a drawing in drafting. 169 Brad Neff and Larry Fentress get the Tech Times into a frisket. Left: Layout is straightened and completed by Carl Spencer, with a T- square. Chuck Parento strives for excellence in printing. 170 Printing and foundry sharpen students’ skills Print shop is a shop of numbers, letters, pictures, and various other materials that help man communicate. This is demonstrated in such items as Tech Times, sports pro- grams, and posters. These publications are done on the linograph, letter, offset, and other simple presses. Tech’s foundry students learn shop operation and safety, along with such operations as molding, brazing, and pouring. Knowledge of these skills is very beneficial to students entering one of the area’s steelmaking businesses. Glen Cherry assists in pouring a mold. Draymon Jefferson busily works toward the completion of another job. Students get skills required for future “Jim, there is a pipe to be fixed. It’s leaking,” yells the lady of the house. But there is one big problem: Jim didn’t take pipefitting in school and simply does not have the knowledge to fix a leaky pipe. Sound familiar? Boys in pipefitting shop learn how to use various types of hand and power tools used by plumbers and pipefitters. They learn to work with different kinds of pipes and to make various joints. They also study the theory of steam and hot water circulation, drainage, and ventilation. Machine shop is purposed toward developing basic oper- ating techniques and skills. All fundamental operations such as necessary math functions are covered in the basic course, which prepares students for entry into jobs re- quiring only basic skills. In later semesters, more difficult and detailed operating techniques and skills are taught. These problems require the use of decimals, fractions, percentages, chain discount, and reciprocals. Every technical phase machine control and operation is obtained at this level of learning, until mathematical pro- cesses necessary can be approached without apprehension. Preparing stock for later use, Mike Gilliland works the lathe in machine shop. 172 Lamar Johnson gets an O.D. reading from three-inch roles stock. Dan Greenya works on a u-joint in pipefitting. Fixing a foregn pipe are Bob Bush and Art Taylor. Home appliance shop yields experience “These new fangled things sure make life a lot easier,” commented Mrs. Brown, as she watched the men from the appliance repair shop install her new hand pump. Shop work includes toasters, irons, coffee pots, electric can openers, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, wash- ers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, and other appiances. In order to pass this shop with two credits, the student is required to fill out and hand back a project card for every job completed. For every card handed in, credit is received. Grades are given on the total number of completed projects, of which there is no limit, at the completion of the semester. Appliance shop is only open for sophomores through se- niors and does not require experience in other fields of appliance repair. George Pomonis satisfies his curiosity by disassembling a nearly worthless toaster. 174 Technical electric gives understanding The purpose for technical electric shop is to further the technical students’ knowledge and practice of electricity. A student enters this shop during his sophomore year for o ne semester. Basically there is required book work to find the needed formulas, to wire different types of circuits. The circuits range from a basic source to lamp cir- cuiting to house wiring. A student after completion of the course work should have the knowledge to do most simple elec- trical problems, and also know the basic use of ohm’s law. Greg Elmore, assisted by others, wires a project in technical electric shop. Clarence Upshaw completes an assignment and readies it for inspection. Foods students find interest, good taste 176 Above: Clean-up is a real part of foods operation. Right: Heat and food; what a splendid combination. Students taking Fundamental Foods learn how to prepare and cook various types of meals. The equipment needed in preparing these meals is supplied by the school. Boys or girls who have Fundamental Foods are usually preparing for a career in cooking. These students receive experience for preparing large amounts of food for large crowds, they may receive this experience in our cafeteria kitchen after taking one semester of Fundamental Foods. Future chefs and cooks feed the population of Tech every week day. These kitchen helpers prepare hot lunches, cold lunches, and medium warm lunches. Above: Alan Stankovich makes a quick inspection. Below: Don Podkul works on his model house. Woodworking sharpens students’ skills Measuring, cutting, and planning must all be completed before a project can be handed in. After chopping down the cherry tree George Washing- ton’s mother exclaimed to him, George, draw me up a pattern, so your father can make a cabinet.” Today, Pattern making and Cabinet making provides each student the opportunity to prepare himself with the necessary skills to develop interests and understanding. Instructions to students are presented individually and on a group basis. Different teaching aids are used for al- most every student. Evaluation is a regular part of the course. Methods of evaluation are: testing, oral presenta- tion, and demonstrations. A knowledge of pattern making is essential to many of the workers of the metal trades and industries. It’s espe- cially desirable that a draftsman know how patterns are made and how the molding is done. As a trade, pattern making stands among the crafts that require the most skillful of artisans. Wood frame houses are included in Carpentry. Here, a pattern and cabinet student wires a desk lamp. Mechanics learn all basics of cars Dwayne Sharpe and Dale DeBoer are studying the different parts of an engine. Auto I students remain in this shop for two semesters. Fundamentals of engines (small and large) chassis and power train are covered. When a student completes this shop he is ready for service station work and to pass to Auto II shop. First semester covers engine theory, cutting threads and tapping holes, cutting and flaring tubing, identification and cleaning of spark plugs, use of measuring devices on small engines and brake construction and adjustment. Auto engine service, transmission differential, ignition service, lubrication, and exhaust system service are cov- ered later. Auto II students learn the different techniques in diag- nosing automotive problems and repairing automotive defects. Students use more automotive tools and testing equipment. Automotive electricity, engine repair, clutch and drive shaft and universal joint are stressed for more experienced students.
