Tech has made tremendous strides toward advancement since her birth, in practically every line. 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
