“Te ECH grew out of old Central. A manual training course was introduced there and so many enrolled for it that it was necessary to hold the shop work in two vacant houses across the street. Finally a new high school was instituted. This was ready for occu- pation in September, 1902. This new school at Seventh Street and Rhode Island Avenue was officially called the “McKinley Manual Training School.” The original building extended as far south as the Book Exchange and as far east as Room 112. In 1908 the first addition, consisting of the assembly hall and the south stairway, was completed. In 1909 the part south of the back stairway was added. The third addi- tion was the completion of the Rhode Island Avenue side to Marion Street, in 1911. The last addition was the mold shop south of the school, completed in 1919. Now in 1922, after four additions to the original structure since 1902, we are greatly in need of space; space for a drill field, for classrooms, for a lunchroom, for an auditorium, and for a stadium. In short, we need an entire new plant—a “Greater Tech.” The Greater Tech Committee appointed by Mr. Daniel is striving to better conditions here. This body, with Mr. Mattern, as chairman, is composed of faculty, alumni, and student members. Without Congressional aid, how- ever, nothing can be accomplished. The THCHITE 1922 ch” Any academic subject may be obtained at Tech. There are courses in English, Spanish, French, Latin, history, civics, economics, journalism, public speak- ing, business law, and the drama. The mathematics course embraces algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigometry, and mechanics. Exceptionally fine courses are offered in the sciences—chemistry, physics, biology and botany. We pride ourselves on our excellent shops. They vary from pattern making through molding, acetyline welding and machine shop, to electrical re- pair. The Tech courses in mechanical drawing, archi- tectural drawing, free-hand drawing, and art metal are unexcelled. Finally, we must consider our many activities. Our student government, known as the general organiza- tion, is a model of its kind. Athletics and cadets have made the name of Tech glorious. “Tech Life,” the school publication, is all that the name implies,—life at Tech, Our orchestra, our dramatic club, our press club, our agora, our social service organization, our publicity committee, and last but far from least, our organized classes are activities of which we are justly proud. The secret of Tech’s success is Tech spirit. As long as that spirit exists, it will inspire us to high and glorious achievements, and never will it be broken, AUTEN THAT A ea SANTA YN an NST Nine
