In 1901 the Technical branch of the school had reached such proportions that it was necessary to obtain larger quarters, so a new High School was formed which was named the McKinley Manual Training School. The new building was ready for use in September, 1902, so Tech moved in and took her place in High School affairs. The original building was not very large; in fact, someone said it consisted of “the front door and the main stairway.” It was bounded on the south by our present Book Exchange, and on the east by room 112, but since that time four additions have been made. The first addition, which included the assembly hall and south stairway, was completed in 1908. The second addition included the part south of the assembly hall, and was completed in 1909. In 1911, the year Mr. Daniel was appointed Principal, the third addition was made; this completed the Rhode Island Avenue side and carried the building as far as Marion Street. The fourth and last addition was the mold shop, in the rear of the school, south end; it was completed in 1919, Conditions in the school as regards space and development are now demanding enlarged facilities. Our present quarters are not large enough. The Greater Tech Committee, appointed by Mr. Daniel, of which Mr. Mattern is chairman, and which is composed of Alumni, Faculty, and Student-Body representatives, has be get our needs attended to, but as yet nothi of Education and the Commissioners ha they are unable to give us what we need.

Our Chemistry and Physics Departments are second to none; our shops are superior to all. We offer splendid courses in Pattern Making, Molding, Acetylene Welding, Machine Shop work, and Electrical Repair. In Mathematics one can study Elementary Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, College Algebra, and Mechanics. In the Academic line, courses are offered in English, History, Spanish, French, Latin, Civics, Economics, Public Speaking, Com- mercial Law and Journalism. The courses offered in Mechanical Draw- ing, Architectural Drawing, Free-Hand Drawing, and Art Metal are well worth while; and many of our students go directly from the school and obtain positions 4s Draftsmen. And now just a word in regard to the activities of Tech. There are more worth while organizations here than in any other school in the city, and the pleasure and knowledge a student gains through participation in these various activities prove a most valuable asset to him in after life. Our famous General Organization (Government by the students) is known and copied throughout the country. Our Athletics and Cadets have made this school so famous that the name ‘Tech’ is invariably associated with stamina, ability, courage and success. TECH LIFE, our school paper, which has been in existence seven years, is a paper of the students, by the students, and for the students; it gets better every year. Our celebrated Orchestra, led by Mr. Dore Walten, is as zood as any in the city. We are justly proud of our Red Cross, Agora(debating society), Press Club, and last but not least, our organized classes. This article would not be complete without a word about “Tech Spirit.” It is this spirit which makes Tech so famous; which makes our activities, and everything we undertake, a success; which makes all of us proud to say, “Iam a Techite.” It is the kind of spirit which produces co-operation by putting “Tech first” and “self last,” and teaches us to be true ladies and gentlemen or synonymously, “Techites.” 15 R.

We do not wish Te brag about ourselves, but we feel that we owe it to posterity to leave a written record of our career and of our achievements in order that those who come after us to carry on the work we have started may be guided by our trials and our triumphs. We entered Tech in September, 1917, just as many “rookies” have entered Tech before. The only good point we had in our favor at the time was the fact that we had come to Tech instead of some other school. It did not take us long, however, to become adjusted; we soon became real Techites, entered into the activities of the school and assimi- lated that famous “Old Tech Spirit.” In our first year we selected Alvin Parker to represent us on the G. O. Council. Our boys entered the Cadets, went out for athletics, joined the Orchestra, TECH LIFE Staff, went into everything to which “rookies” were eligible, and did all in their power to maintain and increase the prestige of Tech. Our girls did likewise and helped to bring girls’ activi- ties to the fore. Our Sophomore year was a great deal like our first one, except that we were better equipped to work for Tech and we were coming into prominence as the class of June ’21. Some members of the class excelled the others and the school began to hear things of “Skeets” Parker, Louise Sullivan, Frances Mitchell, Charles Deck and several others. As Juniors we organized and received a charter from the G. O. For the fifth Semester we elected the following officers: Walter Siddall, President ; Elizabeth Parker, Vice-President; Frances Mitchell, Secretary ; Edwin Baum, Treasurer; Michael Parrella, Sergeant-at-Arms. In the sixth semester we elected Victor P. Reich, President; Elizabeth Parker, Vice-President; Frances Mitchell, Secretary; Edwin Simons, Treasurer ; and Kenneth Super, Sergeant-at-Arms. As an organized class we were successful, and came into social promi- nence by giving a hike to Great Falls on April 6, 1920, and a straw-ride on May 28, 1920. In this year more of our members came into prominence and their marked ability was recognized by the school. We were represented on the G. O. Council by Louise Sullivan, Secretary, and Alvin Parker, Repre- sentative. On TECH LIFE Staff there were Victor P. Reich, Louise Sullivan, A. R. Deck, Frances i ee eon Abe P he Cadets there were thirty-six no, Lichtman, and A. H. Neri od officers. Our cadets who seated commissioned and six a ear were Walter Siddall, Tom Reilly, Arthy commissions in their Wr Fred Schultz and Adolph Baumgarten.

Hooker, ’ e on the nee dts wae es the Juniors, represented nae Sullivan, Mary Clark, Florence Weckerly, J ng LeRoy, and Ruth Terrett, won the inter. all Championship. pcacen ea principal parts in “San Toy” were taken by members of our class, while in the Orchestra we were represented by V. K. Buseck, Carlin, Caskey, Gable and Blatt. As Seniors we have gained our greatest triumphs. When the Class of June, ’20 left they warned us that we would have a lot of hard work to buck up against. We have had; but we met it with a will and when we look at the results we feel that our work has not been in vain. This year has been marked by progress and re-organization and this work has mainly been led by us as Seniors. Class elections were held early in the year and the following officers were elected: Ralph K. Super, President ; Elizabeth Parker, Vice-President; Louise Sullivan, Secretary; Edwin Simons, Treasurer; E. C. Metzeroth, Sergeant-at-Arms. We have not been e xceptionally brilliant as an or ganized class but still we have not been mediocre. On November 20, 1920, we conducted a very successful straw-ride; and on April 22, 1921 we held our Senior Dance which turned out to be the most successful affair of the social season. The publication of this YEAR Book is the biggest thing the class has undertaken ; and as for our success or fail in thi ill leave it to the reader’s own jud t wie ici Cs The individual work af has never been handled bette i epee Teele peek ihe AEM Paton ere pus ae ch es by Victor B.

We have with us an artist of fame, He's already made quite a name; He likes vivid shades He also likes maids, And yet with all this he’s quite tame. LINDBERG, A. R. Cadets, 18, '19, '20, '21. O here’s a young fellow named Russell, To beat him you would have to hustle; And on the dvill field, He never would yield; He's a handsome young fellow this Russell. LOVEWELL, NEWTON N.

A “Bis” manager keen is our Bert, And never again will he flirt For 4 damsel he met, And it’s now a safe bet, That to constancy he’s now a convert. McCAULEY, G. M. (Mac) McCauley'’s a Senior quite shy; But just wait till the girls catch his eye; Though now he may blush, He'll be caught in the rush, And he'll fall for some vamp young and spry. 33 MARSHALL, HENRY SWAIN (Tike) Cadets, 18, 19, ’20, '21; Spring Play, 20, 2, Oh Tykey from Takoma Park, Is a Baltimore Pike hopping shark; It keeps him as lean As a young string bean, Or a clothes prop without any bark, MARSHALL, HOUSDEN I, Cadets, 18, 719, ’20. H. Marshall’s a noisy young chap, For studies he cares not a rap; He sometimes looks wise, But helieve not your eyes; He's wisest when he’s playing crap.

They tell ne that brunettes are fickle ; This one surely got into a pickle; He made two dates—all right— Both for the same night; To decide which he tossed up a nickle. NIEMEYER, HERBERT F, (Erbe) Cadets, 18, 19, ’20; Orchestra, ’18, 19, 20, Our Herby went out last Thanksgiving To the Blue Ridge to try there his living: But the weather was “rain,” , So his thoughts were profane, And “Old Virginy” he'd not take for the giving. OERTLY, ALLAN W. Cadets, 18, ’19—Private’s Medal, ’19, So bashful sweet, simple and shy, This shrinking gentleman meets our eye. He's so unassuming He sets us a fuming; He keeps his temper—we can't; that’s why, O'LEARY, ROBERT A.

Now we come to a youth who’s named Price, He is one at whom you'd look twice And say, at a dance, He surely can prance, And more than one thinks that he’s nice. PRICE, WILLIAM DAWSON (Bill) Cadets, four years. Bill Price conducts “Heard and Seen,” But he’s not the one that I mean; Our own Bill Price Finds manual labor so nice, Of a work-house, some day, he'll be Dean. PRANGLEY, ARTHUR GEORGE Track, ‘18; Cadets, ’18, '19, ’20, ’21; Captain Com- pany B, ’21; Treasurer Officers Club, ‘21; Spring Play, '21.

(Tommy) Cadets, “13, °19, ’20, ’21. Now Thompson's a studious lad, Who makes all the teacher's hearts glad; He for girls has no use, But that’s an excuse, For the crush that he has is quite bad. 40 TROXELL, WILLIAM FABER (Bill) Cadets, 19. Now this is our William Troxell, Who does all that he does very well; Gets his lessons with ease His teachers does please, And in all kinds of work doth excel. TUCKER, ARMISTEAD They say that still waters run deep, And tho’ Tucker iooks half asleep, Instead he is pondering And thinking and wondering, How a great “rep” for brilliance to keep. WALKER, WORTH Worth and his work could never agree; We fear a cake he'll grow up to be; His tie is so lean It can hardly be seen; He’s a good-looker you surely can sce. WATERS, J. W.

N FEBRUARY Ist, 1918, our illustrious members started up the OC) famous ladder of education, known throughout our country as The McKinley Manual Training School. We have steadily climbed until now we are ready to step from this ladder into the world as products of our beloved school. Many of our number have made sucesses in the different branches of athletics, in the Cadet Corps, on the TecH LIFE Staff, on the G. O. Council, in the Opera Club and in the Radio Club. Some were noted for their scholarship—graduating in three and one-half years. Athletics has been upheld by Frawley, Smith and O’Shinsky, in basket ball; by MacNab and Jordan, in track; and by Parella and Frawley, in baseball. The Orchestra could not have rendered such melodious strains without the aid of Collins. The TECH LIFE Staff has had no better Sporting Editor than “Eddie” Morrison. We were represented in the Cadets by Taylor, Thompson and Donnelly. The Radio Club had at its head, “Gregie” Beard, one of our clan. The G. O. Council sits in state with Frawley and McCormick in its midst. The Opera Club was supported by many of our members. We need not further enumerate the many glories of the school in which we have participated. Sufficient to say, that, although we were few in number, we are proud of the record we have made in the history ‘of our school. Our last words will be an appeal for Tech: Come out for athletics and every branch of activity in your school. With deep regret, we view the time when we will leave the halls of fame of our beloved school. L.

HAMILTON, PHILIP WILLARD (Ham) Cadets, ‘18, 19, '20—Winning Company, ’20.

Indeed. j life story is not unlike those of the many other classes Which } : preceded it through the halls of Tech. As for bare history, then is = ni to say that we entered as Freshmen, meek and lowly, in September, Classes, like nations, are measured by the calibre of the men and women which they produce. Let us review the names of some of our classmates who have contributed to the glory and honor, not only of ’22 butof Tech. Turning first to our girls, all of whom we take pride in elatnn. ing, we find Margaret Moore, Secretary of the Council, and Dorothy Shiery holding the corresponding office in the Lower House. ; The scope of activity of members of ’22 is limited only by the num- ber of activities which the school possesses. Quite a large percentage of the Class wear the blue of the Cadet Corps, and have twice assisted in defending our title to the coveted Drill Flag. Among those who stand near the head of the seniority list are Shaw, Lebowitz, Owen, Dennison and Moseman, followed by numerous others. Standing in the brightest constellation of Athletic stars are MacCartee and Supplee, renowned on the gridiron and floor. House, Kline, Perry, Shanks and Whyte have also shown their mettle. The Staff roster of TECH LIFE embraces the names of Shaw, Literary Editor; Owen, General News; Linnville, Assistant; Scrivener, Assistant ; Bickford, Business Manager ; and Holmes and Barber of the Business Staff. The Agora holds on its rolls many of the Class of June, ’22, and both its President and Treasurer are from among our ranks. Many of our classmates filled the chorus of “San Toy” in 1920 while Dalgleish and Gates held principal positions. The cast of “Mon- sieur Beaucaire,” this year’s production, includes Shaw, Tolson, Walten, Holmes and several others of ’22. During our six semesters we Shaw, the former having also served as Vice-Presid ganization. : : The Press Club, Radio Club, French Club, and Red Cross claim thet quotas of our classmates; at least one of our number is connected wit every institution of the school.

Some of the boys went out for football, and among them we find Myers, Penicks, Howison, Rhees, and Pugh. We were also represented on the track team by Demarest and Patterson. The girls of our class are also famed, for many went out for basket ball. They defeated the Senior team which for three years was the cham- pion of the school. Among these basketeers we find Misses Smallwood, Redman, Colbert, Hutchison and Russell. A number of them were also in the Spring Play of 1920 and did famously well. Last but not least, our present Semester representative, Patterson, Who succeeded McCauley, (who held the post of representative for one year and a half) did good work in the Red Cross during the Xmas season in its efforts to cheer others less fortunate than ourselves. small, but even so, many of As time goes by more the hall of fame; h will look up to Our class is neither very large nor very our members are known throughout the school. 3 Will become famous and their names will go down in and in the coming years the Freshmen coming to Tec the class of February, ’23 as a model.

TWAS a wonderful day for our class when it entered the famous halls l of Tech in September, 1919. Like all others before us we had to pass unnoticed through that “a, b, c” period as Rookies, but during our Sophomore year we have demanded notice, because of our earnest work in all the school activities, both scholastic and athletic. Early in our school career, we acquired that “Old Tech Spirit,” which makes o ur school so wonderful. We soon became acquainted with school life and began to back all the school activities. On the day after the Competitive Drill, last year, a large number of the cadets of our class were seen with smiling faces, and ‘Red Ribbons” pinned on their manly chests. Many other cadets who performed their duty were less fortunate. What would the Rifle Team do without F. Ghormely, captain of the team? We have found in our class since coming to Tech, two boys, H. May- cock and E. Keller, worthy of representing our class on the G. O. Council. Did not Aubinoe, supported by many of our class, have a large part in bringing the Basket Ball Championship to Tech this year? We added several to the quota of track men,—Clayton, Thomas and Gooch,_from whom we may expect great things in the future. We are sure Eddie Offut, our Baseball star deserves a great deal of credit for his faithful work last season. : The girls of the class divide the honors equally. Several of our girls were members of the Championship Basket Ball Team, and Mabel Tear, Ruth Hough and Elizabeth Taylor earned the much prized “T.” Our girls are also supporting the Hockey Team. : Mildred Volandt, and Virginia Pryor had principal parts in the Spring Play and were ably supported by others. While we are active in all these things, we S ship, and many of us have obtained high places on ; We justly feel that our class has contributed much to the honor 0 Tech.

GL FEBRUARY, ’24 CLASS OF 82 Third Semester History NE YEAR and a half ago the steps of the “Hall of Fame” once again O felt the tread of many little (?) feet and another illustrious class was in your midst. We were collected together and herded into the assembly hall where Mr. Daniel spoke kindly to us and divided us into sections, after which we were led out by one of our future instructors. In a very short time we learned to travel the corridors alone and be- came red-blooded Techites, but were referred to as “rookies” just the same. The basket ball season was then in progress so we went out to the games and with our shrill little voices cheered the team to victory. Our members have helped to swell the ranks of the cadets, and have brought new material for Mr. Apple to make into athletes. Th girls have been no less active in athletics, nor have they neglected their social education. A-3 (the only girls’ section) in their second semes- ter gave a very successful tea-party to their teachers and mothers, and another for their section teacher. This class also contributed largely to the success of the operetta, “San Toy,” by its liberal representation in the cast. Our history is short, for our lives at Tech have scarcely begun; but “Watch us grow !? DoRIS BLANCHARD, A-3 ’ 63 SRT Le ae $F R ay az PASS Ry ¥ . CLASS OF JUNE, Second Semester History (4 OOK! LOOK what’s coming,” Someone cries. A crowd rushes to L to the door, each one trying to be the first to behold—a company of warriors armed for the fray. With paper and pencils; with Latin, French, Algebra and many other books, they indeed appear for: midable. “What is it?” asks an inquiring voice. “It?” we scornfully reply, “WE are the class of June, ’24.” And a wonderful class indeed we are. Look, O haughty Senior, upon our ranks! Dost thou see one, who would not do his cr her duty as a Techite? Or, seest thou any, thou would’st not like to take thy place, three years hence? “Nay; there is not one,” sayest thou; end truly thou hast stated it. Ours is a modest class indeed, but modest as we are, we feel it is but just that some of our wondrous deeds should be recorded. After being sent to Junior High, it was sometime before we could settle down to work, as conditions were so upset. We were changed from one teacher to another, from top floor to first floor, frequently for- getting where the next hour was supposed to find us. In spite of these drawbacks, however, our class did its best, which, we think, was very good. When finally we were transferred up to the main building, we had to be- come accustomed again to a new routine, new teachers, and a new build- ing. We were scmewhat behind in our lessons, because of the frequent changes in our programs, but we soon caught up. ; In spite of these handicaps our class steadily forged ahead, entering into all of the activities of the school; to everything, from athletic sports and cadets to selling tickets, our class responded nobly. Many of our boys are perhaps to-day drilling in the hot sunshine. With what joy we welcomed any incident which relieved the dreary routine of school work. Such a relief was the G. O. election, the excite- ment of which lasted some time after the actual happening. Fox was elected for our representative and filled the place admirably for one Semester. At the second election, Baird was chosen to represent us. Quite a number of names from our class adorned the Honor Roll, ey boy, John Daly, making third place.

At present H we are in your midst as lowly “rookies” but we have our High School career before us and in the years to come we expect to show you that we can do great things for you. We are only Freshmen, but our members have talent for all that. In two of our sections we have ten members of the Junior Four Minute Speakers who rendered valuable aid to the country during the war. Two of our members are out for baseball and at least fifteen of us expect to go out for football in the fall. We have a large number in the cadets and two of our boys, Edwards and Howard, are out for track. Edwards recently won the mile race in the inter-class meet. This is a good illustration of what we can do. We have come to Tech because we believe it to be the best high school in this city and we are going to do all we can for Tech and be real “Techites.” SS 7 67 BOOK TVITT T III GENERAL ORGANIZATION COUNCIL, September to February General Organization GAIN we raise the old cry that “this year is the most successful A year the General Organization has ever known.” This statement is made not for lack of something to say but because we honestly believe it to be true. The G. O. was organized with the theory in view that “Great oaks from little acorns grow” and judging by past events we may safely say that the theory has been fulfilled. In the September elections Victor P. Reich was elected President and Babette Everritt, Secretary. The other members of this Council were Mr. Louis C. Mattern, Faculty; Miss Theora J. Bunnell, Faculty; Mr. R. W. Strawbridge, Faculty; Frank Taylor, 8th Semester Representative; Louise Sullivan, 7th Semester Representative; Henry McCormick, 6th Semester Representative; Oscar M. Shaw, 5th Semester Representative; LeRoy MacCauley, 4th Semester Representative; Eugene Keller, 3rd Semester Representative; Pearl Last, 2nd Semester Representative; Paul Fox, 1st Semester Representative. Probably the most important thing done by the first Council was the aan of the Constitution to provide for the creation of a Lowe! € and the office of Vice-President. This plan had been under col pee for some time but it remained for this Council to put it into ect and make definite laws regarding it.

The year was begun with Mr. Busck as Editor-in-Chief but he resigned after the publication of the first issue to become Editor of the YEAR Book. Miss Anne Garber as Editor-in-Chief and Victor P.

The last semester, with the best staff TECH LIFE has ever had, the paper has flourished wonderfully, and has also increased from eight to ten pages.

A great majority of the officers and men of the company were in the winning company last year and have experienced that grand and glorious feeling when another victory is brought to Tech. T he hearts, minds, and bodies of the officers and men in the company are moulded together into a great human machine every part of which is bearing its share of the load. If this machine does not win the prize, the human cogs which con- stitute its mechanism are of such fine quality that they will withstand the “friction” of defeat and glory, knowing that they have done their utmost for Tech. It is safe to say that this machine will not be discarded or its spirit or energy destroyed, but will be remodeled into a new and more efficient one next year. le “FLAG,” prized by every man in the Cadet Cor CAPTAIN K.

The outlook, although often dark and doubtful, has steadily bright- ened. Knowing that success is the result of hard and consistent work, the officers and non-coms have borne the brunt of the labor. They have attempted to instil discipline into the men, with a commendable degree of success. The men of the company deserve praise, not for the results accom- plished primarily, but for the “Old Tech Spirit,” shown in the accomplish- ing. We have not expected to win the drill nor prophesied that we should; we have only hoped. Success or failure is immaterial if one has done his best and so it is with Company D.

An important factor in the progress of Company H has been the strict discipline with which the drill is conducted; not discipline by the use of force or punishments, but discipline arising from the mutual un- derstanding between the men and officers that a winning cadet company cannot be developed where there is kidding and trifling in the ranks. The instruction that the men in the company have received is due to the efforts of two hard-working lieutenants and a corps of non-commis- sioned officers who have the interests of the company at heart.

Apple, who has labored hard and successfully for the good of his teams. Since his arrival at Tech, three years ago, we have won five championships in the four major sports, two in basket ball, one in football, one in baseball, and one in track. This shows that Mr. Apple is an experienced coach in all branches of sports. Athletically, Tech is one of the worst equipped schools, for its size, in the United States, and Coach Apple had to overcome many serious difficul- ties in developing his teams. Coach Apple is a very popular man and js liked by all who have to deal with him in any way. Members and coaches of opposing teams have often expressed their praise of Coach Apple, and have said that he is a fine man. He has always worked with the “Old Tech Spirit’”—for the love os: the school and not for the honor. Many times he has refused to come bee the school to receive just praise for his success and re ne remaine out of several pictures that were taken of his winning teams. Mr. Aaghe came from Michigan, where he successfully pe a several high schools and won many laurels. Before he came here, i Hie offers to coach at several schools that were equipped with phe Pee coi facilities ; but he was attracted by the spirit at Tech and the ee e MF Tech the schools here, so he accepted the position of Athletic Deas, after It Was pretty hard for him to stay and work under the oe « spirit of the “aving a well equipped school, and he has said that it hee! nore Dlayers that he worked with, which made him stay here ay 007 __ Tech is proud of the work done by Coach Apple and his ; “ish him the best of success in the future.

In 1920 he coached the Track team and was very successful, consider. ing the handicaps he had to undergo. In the fall he took charge of the 135-pound football team ; and after going through a hard schedule, the team remained undefeated. He is an excellent coach and a fine man to deal with. There is the hes, of feeling between the players on the team and the coach; there is never any quarrelling over decisions and positions, which has helped the gue. cess of the team in a great way. Having a man of this sort to take some of the load of coaching off of Mr. Apple’s shoulders, is a great help to Tech. Tech is proud of Mr. Hardell and the work he has done and wishes him the best of success in the years to come. Mr. Hardell is also serving on the “Greater Tech” Committee as secretary and is working for a better school in the way of a gymnasium swimming pool, athletic field and assembly hall. a ene is another man who has been a great factor in sity of Tia ers, he After finishing a course in the Univer began teaching mathem rea re was a star athlete, he came to Tech and of activities here and tatics.

SS THE FOOTBALL TEAM Football, 1920 ECH WON the Football Championship in one of the most hotly con- tested campaigns in a number of years. All of the honors that the team and Coach Apple received were hard-earned and the school should feel proud of being represented on the gridiron by such a team. Tech had eight letter men left from the year before and prospects for a good team looked very bright at the beginning of the season. A training trip up in the mountains of Virginia was made and a great deal of good was done in the way of developing the muscles, etc. i Tech opened the season by swamping Business by the score of 76 tony Then Tech made a name for itself by making three trips down in Virginia and beating the big Episcopal eleven 28 to 6, holding the strong Staunton team toa 7 to 0 score, and trouncing the University of Virginia eae by a 21 to 13 score. In a hard fought game Tech lost to the Mary. aay Freshmen by 10 to 0. Tech made another record when west wee beaten by a 35 to 0 score.

Cen- ‘ictories and no defeats and Central had two victories and no defea ake by tal had beaten Business and Eastern while she was held to a 135 POUND FOOTBALI TEAM Western and Tech. Tech was awarded the title as she had one more victory to her credit than Central had. Tech also showed her superiority in scoring more points than any of the high school teams and by getting more places on the all-high elevens, picked by the newspapers, than any other team. The spirit of the Championship Tech Team was very fine, the players always played clean, hard football, never crowed in victory nor whined in defeat. The team became popular, not only because they won the games, but because they showed this fine, fighting spirit. As a reward for their services, the school awarded the “Circle T” and a silver football fob to the following men: E. Pugh, Capt., Parker, Mac- Cartee, Parrella, Gosnell, J. Pugh, McCormick, Heine, Gude, Hough, Wolz, Rhees, Supplee, Burger, and Joynes, Manager. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Apple and Capt. Pugh, for the excellent work they did throughout the entire season. These two worked hard for the team and their efforts were rewarded. bring another Fo tb nae page Sell show The Oar Su ft hearty support eet Title to Tech.

It was thought that this would permit East Business with a small enrollment of boys to select teams more ee ae ever, there was a misunderstanding as to whether the team was is b ow- average 135-pound team or whether each boy must weigh 135 sounds: 1 was this particular feature that hindered its success. But at Tech the 135 pound team started out in the beginning and with but three or four ree could make the team either an average or limited team. That we were successful is shown by the scores of the eight games played. What was even better than a record of not having their goal line crossed was the splendid spirit of the team. Tech’s 135-pound team started off with flying colors, defeating St. Albans on their own field by 33 to 0. Tech then vanquished every team that it played. The team’s scores are as follows: (le.

By starting time nearly four thousand people had come to witness the game which was a forerunner of what the people might expect when the larger teams met. Tech won the toss and chose to receive. After the kick-off, Tech started a “boom,” marching up the field for 60 yards—Joynes taking the ball over for Tech’s first score. In the second quarter it looked as if Central would make a touchdown but a forward pass in mid-field was intercepted by Turco and turned into Tech’s second score; the score at half time being 14 to 0 in Tech’s favor.

W.ti a strong, rugged team, Tech went through a hard schedule of twenty-thre: games, losing but two. Tech won the High School title this year after a series of hard battles that were very closely contested. Western was the only school to defeat Tech and that was by a margin of one basket. Tech won the other game from Western and defeated Eastern, Business and Central in all of the games. Tech also defeated a number of the strong Prep School teams in this section, such as Army and Navy Prep., Episcopal, Staunton, George town Prep., and Martinsburg. eee ey eee in the G. W.

At the time this article is being written Tech has not encountered any of the other high school teams so this record cannot give Tech’s stand- ing at the close of the season. The season has just started, and the man- agement announces that besides the remaining high schools, such teams as University of Virginia Freshmen, Covington High School, Episcopal High School, Gonzaga College, Mt.

There are quite a few “under-grad” men out, who are, or who have signs of be- coming, excellent track men. These men, with the help of the school, ought to make a future championship team. The team has taken part in only one track meet so far, that at “C. Weve and the showing we made there is not a fair example of the present team’s ability. A rather complete schedule of meets has been made out; some of them are as follows: The Triangle Meet at Episcopal, The Penn Relays at Philadelphia, The Tome Meet at Tome, Md., and the Spring and “C” Club Meets at Central. How the team will make out in these meets, I don’t know, but you may be sure they will do their best. P WALTER H. PRICE, Manager of Track, ’21. GIRLS’ SPORTS OR the past three years Girls’ Sports at Tech have become more E important as they have grown. Each year is represented by a basket ball team and there are even scrub teams. The bashful rookies, busy Sophomores, the important Juniors and the haughty Seniors, all come out for sports. Up to the present the only championship games played were in basket ball. In 1920 the girls of ’21 won, and in 1921 the a an ae boys, no girl who is behind in her studies is allowed to play or to get a “T.” Judging by the great number of players, the girls do not seem to be greatly handicapped by flunks. There are so many girls out for basket ball that they must play in shifts, using the two courts while the others play hockey. The same is true of our tennis players who, by the way, are composed mostly of rookies. There is so much opposition to girls’ inter-school games that we have not been able to play any official outside games. However, we may be allowed to have an inter-school girls’ tennis tournament. The hockey teams are not as numerous as the others, for they require eleven girls on each side, so there is not a team for each year, but there are enough girls to make two regular teams. This year the girls will have an athletic supper and boost girls’ ath- letics and honor the year’s champions and the wearers of the “T.” Even though we are only awarded the minor “T” in recognition of our work, we work just as hard to earn it as we would for the circle “T”; and when we are called up, in the assembly hail, to receive our letter, we could not possibly feel more proud or thrilled even if it was a circle “T” we were to be awarded. Among our best athletes are: Frances Mitchell, who boosts girls’ athletics by her speeches in the assemblies; Louise Sullivan, who helps plead our cause before the G. O. when necessary; Ruth Terrett, Jeanne LeRoy, Elizabeth Hutchison, Dorothy Wash, Elizabeth Taylor, Mabel Tear, eee evan Sanco, Catherine Colbert, Alverda Redmon, Ree oe azel Brennan and Dorothy Garrett, the inseparables, When it comes to athletics, in spite of F iliti irl ranks Sith: beeen pite of our few facilities, Tech girls 96 THE GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEAMS Girls’ Basket Ball NOTHER successful year in our girls’ athletics has come to an end.

However, we do not pin all our hopes on an inter-school tournament, but we organize class teams and we will, according to present indications, have an inter-class tournament. The girls who come out for tennis practice all have a chance to get on the Washington High School Tennis League which is made up of eight members from the different schools. At present our best players are Elizabeth Hutchison, Dorothy Yost, May Griffin and Jeanne LeRoy. 100 HONOR AWARDS drafted, it was decided that whatever honor awards were prescribed should be of very inconsiderable intrinsic value, that the effort ad- vanced should be entirely unselfish and for ihe “glory of Tech.” Accord- ingly, in recognition of marked services rendered in the various fields of endeavor, the Executive Council, in behalf of the student body, bestows two classes of emblems, representing the school’s reward. All recipients of awards must be recommended by a faculty adviser, ratified by the Council and Principal, and supported by a clear scholastic record. Wirt THE CONSTITUTION of the General Organization was For achievements of an academic nature, the Honor Medal is awarded. It represents the highest degree of merit for specified services on the TECH Lire Staff, in the Agora, in the annual Spring Play, on the Executive Council, in the Orchestra and for a scholastic record ‘‘with honors.” Along athletic lines three awards are bestowed: The “Circle T,” corresponding to the Honor Medal is given for par- ticipation in two thirds of the inter-scholastic games for one season in a major sport—Baseball, Basket Ball, Football and Track. T he “Minor T” is awarded for secondary service in a major sport, or service in a minor sport.

Price, Goodacre, Frawley, Blumer, Penicks and Howison, NATO LID ru EFORE THE WAR, Tech had numerous or ganizations in her midst, B but the necessity of the War naturally led to their dismemberment. In those good old days we had a Crew, a Chess Club, a Chemistry So- ciety, an Engineering Society, an Association for Orchestra Members, a Dramatic Club, a German Club, a Girls’ Emblem Club, a Sergeants’ Club, a Spanish Club, and numerous others besides those which are now in existence. During the War all of these died except the Opera, French, T, and Friendship Clubs. The newly organized Red Cross waxed great, and the whole school backed it in its great work. With the end of the War several of those persons who remembered the former glorics of these social and practical organizations made efforts to get them started again. The clubs noted in this book are the results of their efforts. Clubs are a good thing in school and should be encouraged because they are a great help to the student, in-so-much as they interest him in his work. Of course they should not occupy so much of his time as to interfere with his studies, but we feel that none of such character are in existence now. In the future we hope to see Tech once more fostering as many good organizations as before the War. To you that remain behind we leave the best of wishes for luck in founding new organizations and in keeping the old ones going. 104 THE RED CROSS The Red Cross ECH has the distincti —— City of Ge ie op Pes whe Oey secondary school in the Red Cross.

Throughout the year it has steadily improved, until now it is quite capable of rendering the most difficult repertoires. The orchestra is unique among the organizations of Tech in as much as it is the only one of Tech’s many activities which has no peer in the other high schools of the city. Other schools may produce better t2ams, cadet companies, school papers, and debaters; but no other Washington high school has even come near to producing an orchestra like ours. And all this is due to the untiring work of one man, who puts his heart and soul into the work of the orchestra: Mr. Dore Walten. Too much cannot be said in praise of Mr. Walten. A born musician and a product of the finest European conservatories, he is a man in a thou- sand so far as musical ability goes. Few men could whip a crowd of amateurs into shape as he can or give individual instruction in each instru- ment as he is capable of doing. ee aes wainiteaens gechenre under such a leader must needs be excellent fon ech!

What other activity can boast such a record? paw UUs The orchestra was disappointed in not having its spring exhibiti as the traditional musical comedy was not presented this year a. i ie: ‘this was made up for by tackling some really hard numbers like the Maseniello, Light Cavalry, and Jolly Robbers Overtures; the selenians from The Count of Luxemburg, Erminie, The Chocolate Soldier, The Lilae Dominoe, and The Dutchess of Danzig; and numerous smaller edinpositione The remarkable thing about this orchestra is the fact that it practices its numbers but two or at most three times before it renders them. And it puts it over on the most critical audiences in a form quite equal to that of several prominent music school orchestras which practice several months before exhibiting their art. This year the orchestra loses through graduation the first cornetist Robert Blatt, the saxophone artist Vincent Carlin, the star pianist Paul Gable, and the violinists Merritt Caskey and V. K. Busck. New material will be needed to fill their places, so everyone who can perform on any instrument is urged to come out next year and join the orchestra.

During the war, while our efforts were directed almost entirely toward the common goal, many of our activities, including the Agora, lay dormant. But upon relief from these duties, we returned to our pre-war status. At the initial meeting, officers were elected, a constitutional com- mittee appointed and plans laid for the ensuing year. The result of the ballot was, O. M. Shaw, President; V. K. Busck, Vice- President; Louise Sullivan, Secretary; Frances Mitchell, Treasurer; Anne Garber, Critic; and A. J. Baumgarten, Sergeant-at-Arms. We were unfortunate in losing Miss Mitchell, through resignation, because of more pressing duties with the YEAR Book, and Miss Garber, through graduation. Miss Morse was elected to fill the position of Treasurer. The several intra-society debates which have been held were interesting and disclosed many orators and debaters of talent. Efforts to arrange an inter-scholastic verbal tourney failed to materialize. We hope, how- ever, that next year the Society will be strong enough to undertake a task of that sort.

It has won various S cups, medals, and honors. This year the rivalry was very keen. The recent war has helped the sport of rifle shooting a great deal, so that it has gained very substantially in popularity. There were fourteen men working hard for Tech’s success this year; Captain Ghormley, Driggers, Geraci, Gleason, Miller, Nickel, Seay, Shreeve, Smith, Strawbridge, Towner, Trimble, Woodward, and Yilek. They par- ticipated in the National Rifle Association match, the Intercity High School match, the Astor Cup match, and the Outdoor High School match at Camp Sims rifle range, Congress Heights. The Tech team contained much new material, but under the able leadership of Fred Ghormley, their captain, they conducted themselves like true Techites, and excellent results were obtained. The Cadets were well represented on the team, two sergeants, a corporal, and a drum major being members. This year there was an entirely new match shot at the Congress Heights outdoor range. A team of picked Cadets from the Washington High Schools contested with the Naval Academy. Tech was well repre- sented and her men showed up nicely. One thing that militates decidedly against Tech is that she has no i)... ee —_ nge of her own.

The Officers Club HIS YEAR has witnessed the first really successful Officers Club in the history of Tech. Previous clubs have started out well but have always fallen to pieces before the end of the year. This one, how- ever, largely through the interest developed at the social meetings, has not only kept together, but has done much constructive work for the bet- terment of the Corps. It has also done much good by uniting the spirit of the Tech officers and by breaking down the distinctions of rank when out of formation. The club is ably led by the following officers: President; Frederick Schultz, Vice-President: Ralph Graham, Arthur Prangley, Treasurer; F. L. Etchison, Sergeant-at-arms. ian The best thing accomplished by the club is an order stating that calis- thenics are to be taught for ten minutes each day through the entire corr This order was a direct resultant of action by the club, and is a thing wie ‘hovld and will be greatly beneficial to the physique of the Corps. Se ving With such a good start and with so many possibilities for canenders € Corps, the club should carry on splendidly next year, and the gsible, 80 itis year certainly wish next year’s club every bit of suCte ean : My as they keep at heart the interests of the Corps and of Tech. RALPH GRAHAM, Secretary Kenneth Matthews, Secretary ; 111 The French Club HE FRENCil CLUB, which has the honor of being the oldest social T orsanization at Tech, reorganized early in the year. The officers elected were: Robert Gates, president ; Margaret Stern, secretary, and Graham Pfieffer, treasurer. The object of the club is to further our knowledge of spoken French by playing French games, singing French songs and even dancing, En Francais of course! The club showed good judgement in the choice of Bobby Gates as president, for he always lives up to the purposes of the club, particularly the parlez Francois part. The club really accomplishes something that cannot be covered in classes, and that is fluent conversation. We even get to understand French jokes! Sometimes we read from the classics but we generally choose to read comedies by contemporary authors. We once took parts in a short French comedy, “Le Docteur,’ which we played merely for the other members to enjoy. Miss Maret, cur Faculty Adviser, has always taken a very active part in the affairs of the club; and when meeting places are not available we go to her home and have a real French soiree. Near the close of school it has been the custom for the whole club to go on an outing together. Miss Maret generally takes us to her place in Virginia which js an ideal picnic place on the edge of some woods. We are allowed to feast on the cherries that cover the trees in her orchard, and then we sit around under the trees or in hammocks. Our regular meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month, in the school building, or at the home of some member, or at Miss Maret’s. Two semesters of French are required for membership; and all French students ere invited to join in the club’s good times. Here’s hoping that the French Club will continue even more success- - fully than it has this year.

It resumed rehearsals in September (on Monday afternoons as usual) under the direction of Miss Keene. Several selections were rendered during the school term, the most pleasing being, “The Lost Chord” by Arthur Sullivan, sung with orchestral accompaniment. A concert program was being prepared when Miss Keene met with an accident and was out of school for three months, during which time the rehearsals were discontinued. At the beginning of the second semes- ter the rehearsals began again and we are now studying a cantata, “Fair Ellen” by Max Bruch, which we will render late in the spring. All of the members have worked hard and faithfully to improve their work and to inspire others with a love and appreciation of the best in music. The members this term are— ; Misses : Allison, Seckinger, Morgan, Parker, Carrick, Roeder, Pidgeon, ener, Everritt, Vandercook, Finkle, Bennett, Weihls, Allen; essrs.: Parker, Clerke, Gates, D isc Calker, Au, Marshall. pe Cr ee MARGARET MorGAN, Secretary CAST OF M.

Pryor UNpeRSsTUDY arnsmesecimat ts: ALLE The T Club EN who have won their letters in any of the major sports—foot- M ball, baseball, basket ball and track—are the members of the “T” Club. This club was formed in 1917 by Jack Easter, a graduate of Tech and a star in Tech’s football history. The object of the “T” club is to bring the athletes of the school to- gether to work ag a body for the better development of athletics in the school, At present a new school, with the necessary equipment, is the object uppermost in the minds of the members. The club has been a success in the social line, having given dances and promoted social activities for those who took part in the different sports. Officers (September to February): Joseph Burger, President; Ed- ward Pugh, Vice-President; Emory Shanks, Secretary; John Hough, Treasurer; Charles Deck, Sergeant-at-arms. Officers (February to June): Granville Gude, President, James Pugh, Vice-President; Emory Shanks, Secretary: rece urer; Michael Parrella, Sergeant-at-arms. ry; Charles Wolz, EMoryY SHANKS, Secretary Statistics and Opinions e braved the that the con- the Constitu- the perils of American History, is quoted as saying vention which met at Philadelphia in 1787 to frame tion of the United States, contained as Many geniuses of the first rank as ever assembled in our whole history. The learned doctor, surel . must never have been acquainted with our Class of June, ’21; for so seve - error weuld never have darkened the chronicles of our nation, had he been so fortunate. Here, indeed, genius abounds. Among us are men from whose fer- tile minds have for four years (or more) sprung excuses for tardiness and absence which even the most tried section teachers have been forced to declare flawless: men whose tireless energies have been directed along all lines from the chalk ones of the gridiron to the graceful curves described by the trusty broom of the “Janitor’s Squad.” Believing that the world at large would be interested in knowing par- ticulars of men of such calibre and mettle, a census was conducted but recently to ascertain certain facts concerning the lives and mental atti- tudes of the honorable and respected Seniors referred to. Had we time and space we might edit the data in book form under the title, “Daily Lives of the Famous,” or, “Ten Minute Chats with the Great.” But hav- ing neither, we will confine ourselves to a brief survey of the results. : Most humans of the masculine variety have passionate desires in early life to become cowboys, or soldiers, or policemen; but fully eighty ver cent of the Class declare that their sole aim upon entering Tech wee, to graduate. Some of these, indeed, were taking Emerson’s advice and were hitching their wagons to stars. Ah, what could be more ene than to realize that so many of our youth were striving for peat Be there then seemed as much possibility of getting as a reduction in tne come tax. Today their viewpoints are somewhat shifted.

And finally, we must not overlook the philanthropic ideal of Luchs, who hopes to restore the former two-for-five prices on chewing gum of standard brands, thus bringing it within reach of those who have been so long forced to gaze on the fortunate possessors in silent envy. Yes, ’tis ambition, truly, that moves the world, and stirs the great to conquer. In answer to the question, “Were you ever sent to the office; and if not, why not?” The majority of replies were notes asking if the com- piler of the data were often in a facetious mood; or requests for English paper upon which some few conscientious souls intended to list the material requested. Question four read: “Is it possible that you may attend college?” To which Gude replied, “Possible, but not probable.” Only one notable answer was obtained for question eight—‘‘Do you expect to pursue any particular study at College?” Melchoir states that he expects to pursue Chemistry quite a while before he overtakes it. According to the census the majority of the class rise at 8:00 a. m. on School mornings. Schultz however, places his time at 8:45, and his section teacher points him out as an example of punctuality. Mr. Schultz is unwilling to disclose his solution of this far-reaching problem. The average hour of retiring is 11 p. m. with one exception; he failed to an- swer the question, but from his dormant attitude in class we would chose a rather later (or should we say earlier?) hour. : In stature the class is quite variable. From Fisher it approaches Siddall as a limit. Approximately, the average height of the class is five feet, seven inches, Siddall and Cohen having ccnsented to combine their two measurements. The average weight of the class hovers about 160 Mapeteiies aupsorbinately, the scales were used while Baumgar- e Spring Play rehearsals, making the figure incorrect : Several other questions asked by the enumerators of the census were given answers that were vague, or not deemed of sufficient interest to b placed in print. What little information we have been able t : ff : il, we hope, serve to enlighten “‘a candid world” on the subj a ene June, ’21.

Dollar, and demand explanations of the whereabouts of their precious sheckels long after they are safe in another’s pocket, we offer for your careful inspection a full, complete and satisfactory account of THE TECHITE'S finances. We might pause here (‘finances’ brought this idea to mind) to discuss at length the high cost of living, the inflation of the currency and labor wages, and to offer our suggestions for aiding and abetting their return to normal: but not being a candidate for any public office at the present moment, nor seeking a cabinet position, we will re- frain from disclosing our valuable views. Lest you, dear readers, should grow impatient, we will proceed with the fatal words.

That your subscriptions were ably handled and used to advantage is clearly evident. The above statistics were compiled after diligent research by “your hum- ble servant.” That you may not be misled, we call your attention to the fact that some honored sage, Shakespeare, or Walt Mason, or Goldberg once said that “all men are prevaricators.” Unfortunately, “we are a man.” Don’t Use Big Words In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your super- ficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical and psychological ob- servations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, compact comprehensible- ness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and un- premeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity without rhodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventrilo- quil verbosity, and unvenialoquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres pru- rient jocosity, pestiferous profanity, obscurent or apparent. 122 Poor Freshie’s Plight The rain it was raining wetly, Upon a Saturday, When off went Jesse, poor little Freshie, For Rockville on his way. He boldly went into the car And took a seat of cane, He heaved a sigh and wiped his eye, And wished it wouldn’t rain. He saw beneath a vacant seat A heater, fine and fair; So on went Freshie, poor little Jesse, And said he shouldn’t care. For Freshie, dear, his toes did want To coyly, calmly, toast. He thought, thought he, Lollipops! ah me! My tootsies now I'll roast. His young canal boats he did place Upon that heater strong; But he’ll ever say, bad luck the day, With that gaping, grinning throng. A shrilly scream rent the stilly air— Was someone over run? The conductor knew, the motorman, too— Our tale is almost done. With the help of the motorman ne arm And the passengers’ helping ands ; eerie Fredliiets life they did save, pulled him back fromthes He went not to sweeter lands.

In many ways I feel it is unworthy of the school which it represents. But some mistakes may be pardoned as this is only the second book of its kind to be produced within the memory of our class. It is the product of an inexperienced staff, feeling its way thru the intricate mazes which involve the publication of such a work. Considering the difficulties which the staff has so successfully com- bated and overcome, I can but feel proud to have had some small part in their work. I therefor take this opportunity to extend to the staff my heartfelt gratitude for the hard and consistent work which they have so willingly done; and to the untiring Faculty Advisers for the numerous suggestions and cheerful help which they have offered so unsparingly. To the classes that remain behind, I can only repeat what the preceding class told us: Begin your YEAR Book early, for it is a great work which will need your attention from the beginning of the year to its publication. May you be spared the trials which we have suffered this year. Success to you!
