IN MEMORY li «WMiii« OF OUR LATE MONARCH KING GEORGE VI. who died with tragic suddenness at his home in Sandringham on February 6th, 1952. His reigning years were characterized by an unfailing loyalty to his people, and a happiness and unity of family that is an example for all to follow. The loss of our beloved King is mourned throughout the world, but we are consoled by the fact that our new Queen has inherited many of the noble qualities of her Father, which when combined with the attributes of youth and vigour, will lead to a new era of happiness. LONG LIVE QUEEN ELIZABETH II. Page 3 CONTimS Memorium to King_ 3 Dedication _ 5 Editorial _ 7 Message from Hon. Ivan Casey_ 8 Message from Dr. J.

Industry is one phase of our national development which ranks high in the field of these discoveries. Due to this fact tech¬ nically trained men and women are more in demand today than ever before. Trained personnel must be proficient in the mechanism and working of modem machinery and modem tools. No one per¬ son can ever hope to master them all; to each his choice; but to educate him, technical schools become a necessity. Schools that teach technical knowledge and manipulative skills will therefore demand an eager and appreciative following. Such a school is ours, the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art; and I would say to her, Youth asks for reasons, not for rules; There ' s more than Latin to make plain. May I take this opportunity to thank the editorial staff for their whole-hearted co-operation in producing this volume of the Tech-Art Record. In editing this edition a new era has been reached. It has become more an Institute production, the cover being wholly de¬ signed and produced by the Art Department, and the photography being handled by our staff representative. May this idea of home accomplishment be carried on and enlarged upon in future years. Acknowledgements to the printer, supporting advertisers and others who helped make this book a success is here due. Without them we would not have a Year Book. The contributors of this book hope it will serve as a memento of the year 1951-1952 at Tech. M. ALLAN BUEHLER, Editor. Page 7 A Message to the Students from Hon. Ivan Casey Minister of Education The aim of education is not only to train you to make a living but also to make life worth living. I know that training in the necessary skills is thorough and practical in the Institute of Technology and Art. When you graduate you have the tech¬ nical knowledge necessary to be successful in making a living. It is my hope that the time you have spent at this school has also helped to give you a background which will make life worth living. To make life worth living you must realize that in our way of life you must be a useful citizen. Your influence for that which is good and right must be felt on the job, among your associates and friends, in your co mm unity and throughout our land. I know we can be sure that you will not only make a living but make life worth living in the years before you. the Students from Dr. J. Fowler Principal It has been a great privilege and a wonderful experience to have been a member of the staff of the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art from its humble beginning in the Fall of 1916 until the present time—to have seen the generally upward trend of the Institute ' s enrolment and to have noted the increasing tempo of its activities and the improving quality of the services which it offers to the Youth of Alberta—to have spent more than half one ' s life in close association with many successive classes of bright, alert, and interested students, and with an ever-increasing group of colleagues highly endowed with qualities of humanity, competence, enthusiasm, and co-operation— to have followed with interest the careers of many hundreds and possibly thousands of Tech grad¬ uates, and to have watched many of them climb high on the ladder of success—to have observed many Tech boys and girls give leadership not only in technical matters pertaining to their vocations but also in the cultural and the social life of their communities. This has been a rich and satisfying experience. In this, his last year of service with the Institute, the Principal desires to thank all his Tech friends (both students and staff—both past and present) who have made this experience possible. He has deeply appreciated their friendship and the many kindnesses he has received at their hands. He takes this opportunity to wish them, one and all, continued success and satisfaction in their careers whether within or without the walls of the Institute. Page 9 ADMINISTRATION STAFF E. W.

The Tech boys are no exception. Our holiday of the October 18th, 1952, was such a one, and doubly enjoyable so, as it was the occasion of the visit of our Royal Guests, the then Princess Eliza¬ beth and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh. Time has since magnified the importance of this visit as we now hail Her Royal Highness as Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Calgary and her schools turned out in the full degree of her splendour and with controlled excitement thronged the streets cheering her visitors. As if unable to resist the temptation and eager to show just what Western winter could do, it turned cold and snowy—presenting a background suitable enough to portray the hardiness and vigor of the peoples of the West. As a result, warm and enthusiastic hearts welcomed our Royalty and felt their greeting reciprocated. The immaculate and smiling Duke showed himself a gallant escort to our willing, if perhaps rather shy Princess. As they smiled and waved from their limousine, they left with us a picture as noble as it is precious. The school boy in all of us at Tech felt an added thrill of loyalty and admiration for the heiress. Our visitors not only proved themselves worthy of their position, but they fully captured the hearts of all Calgary and the West, as they rubbed shoulder to shoulder with the common man, and sat through the cold and snow to watch our Stampede in miniature. For me, perhaps, the final climax of their visit came as they emerged from the Indian Tepees and almost brushed those of us who unwittingly stood by the flaps, scarcely realizing that Royalty was so close. So it was that to the Indians they became as Indians, to the French- Canadians as French and to us in Calgary as Galgarians and true Westerners. To all they proved the oneness and personal identification, showing un¬ mistakable appreciation of our efforts and love. Such a couple we of Calgary and Tech laud with joy as our beloved Queen and noble Duke. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN. LUKE MacNAB, L.S. 1. Page 12 ifflISfll PROVINCIAL IP«STlTUTi 0 TECHNOLOGY 6 ART UNIVERSITY Of AlBERTA CALGARY BRANCH INSTITUTE BUILDINGS Starting in temporary quarters in East Calgary in 1916 the Institute has been continually expanding. In 1921 the present quarters were started to provide a new home for the Institute and also the Faculty of Education. These buildings consisted of the present main building, shops building and power house. The shops have had two additions made to them—in 1926 and 1929. In 1940 the Institute moved out of their buildings and loaned them to the Royal Canadian Air Force to form the nucleus of No. 2 Wireless Station. The Art and Dressmaking Courses were carried on in the Coste House and the other courses were carried on under the grandstand at Victoria Park, for the duration of the war. It is most interesting to note that during this emergency period the Institute provided at one time around the clock lectures. These were, however, later changed to two shifts a day. The Institute returned to their home in 1945 and were able to secure a number of the thirty-odd buildings the Air Force had left behind. Thus the Aero Hangar, Building Construction and Drafting, and the Crafts buildings were added to an expanding Tech. In 1951 three npw class rooms and additional offices were built in the form of a corridor from ' the Main Building to the Shops. The gateway to Tech was given a new face lifting and the University of Alberta began operations in the former Faculty of Education premises. This summer we will see a new addition to the Institute in the form of a new half a million dollar Shops building. This new building will house the Building Construction Department and provide more shops for the Motor Mechanics Department. Another addition that it is hoped will be forthcoming soon, is a new building to house the Drafting Department and the Craft Work. A third new building, is also being planned to house extensions of the apprenticeship training programme. STUDENTS ' EXECUTIVE FALL TERM It was with great honor that I was elected Vice-President for the Fall Term and as the President has left it falls on my shoulders to give the President ' s Report. My first meetings were held in nervousness and anxiety and I ' m afraid strictly not in proper procedure but with the co-operation of all, were passed smoothly. It was a source of great enjoyment to work with the Fall Executive, which were really a swell bunch, and too our ad¬ visors, Mr. Young, Mr. Smith and Mr. Goode, for their splendid co-operation in making things so much easier for me. The world today is a technical place where a person must be well trained and educated to take his or her place. The training learned at Tech is invaluable in our struggle up the ladder of success, and makes the climb so much easier. To all those who graduate at the end of the school year 51-52 the best of luck and may your climb up the ladder of success be easy, and to all those continuing, the best of luck in school work and school activities. DON ATTWELL, Kl. LES ANDERSON PRESIDENT DON ATTWELL VICE-PRESIDENT DONNA WRAY SECRETARY MARGARET COURTNEY SOCIAL CHAIRMAN BOB PITTS ATHLETIC CHAIRMAN NORM BAKKEN LITERARY CHAIRMAN STUDENTS ' EXECUTIVE As President of the Students ' Association, Spring Term, I wish to record my sincere appreciation for the fine co-operation displayed by both staff and students in supporting all under¬ takings of the Executive. The school year 1951-52 has been a year of construction at Tech. Not only have there been new ultra modern class¬ rooms and shops erected, but we are consistently building greater interest in extra curricular activities. The Association ' s main function is to support activities, and a high interest in student activities creates school spirit, something we should all have. In future years let us hope school spirit created at Tech will not be equalled elsewhere. I doubt if we could manage without the constructive staff advice offered by Dr. Fowler, Mr. Young and Mr. Goode. These men are builders of student government, of them the Executive is most proud. In closing I wish the graduating students a successful future and to the under-grads, a spirited and enjoyable second year. On behalf of the Spring Term Executive I would like to thank the student body for their vitality, enthusiasm and co¬ operation displayed in every department of Student Activities. This enables me to say sincerely, It ' s been an honour serving you. NELSON MacDONALD, R 2. N. MacDONALD PRESIDENT Page 14 STUDENTS ' EXECUTIVE WINTER TERM BOB PITTS PRESIDENT It was a great honour for me to have been elected for the office of President of the Students ' Association for the Winter Term. The experience, and knowledge, I gained was invaluable. My sincere thanks goes to the Council and Class Reps for the co-operation they gave in carrying out the affairs of the Associ¬ ation. The business of the Association was largely carried on by the Executive because of the lack of interest shown towards the General Assemblies. The Annual Banquet, the Emery Weal, the Tech-Art Record and the Basketball team are only a few of the activities in the school and are to be congratulated on their efforts. In closing I would like to express my appreciation for the assistance of the Institute Staff, especially Mr. Young, Mr. Goode and Mr. Smith in helping the Executive with its prob¬ lems. I ' d like to wish all those graduates and future graduates the best of luck and success in their chosen occupations. R. W. PITTS L. S. 2.

Peebles and headed by him until 1951. Mr. W. A. B. Saunders is now handling the Department. Mr. G. Pilkington was an early instructor, also Mr. W. E. Jamison. When Mr. S. N. Green came to the Department they were authorized to do commercial overhauling and repairing of aeroplanes. Tech is the only school in Canada so licenced. Mr. A. Shapiro joined the staff in 1948. The Department started with a Sopwith Camel aeroplane, two rotating and one V-type aero engines, aerofoils, and some navigation equipment. They now have their own hangar for shop work and a strength of materials testing laboratory. The original course taught by the Department was Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. The objective of this course is to provide the technical training required to pass the Department of Transport Examinations for the class A Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Certificate. This two year course provides instruction in airframe and aero engines. In 1948 a third year course, Aeronautical Engineering, was started by this Department. This course gives the student the higher technical instruction necessary to pass the examinations for the Associate Fellowship of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Twenty graduates are now with A. V. Roe of Canada in Toronto. Some are working as engineers in the Design Department and two have become group leaders in the plant. Last year A. V. Roe took all the graduates. Other sources for employment include Fleet Aircraft Co., Fairchild Company and Pratt and Whitney Company. Other graduates join the Royal Canadian Air Force. Page 17 W. A. B. SAUNDERS The expansion of Canadian industry and particularly the aircraft industry has become so rapid that today there is a definite shortage of engineers and skilled workers. This places the present graduating class in the enviable position of being able to gain employment in their chosen field with very little difficulty. We expect you to be a success, but remember you have just completed the foundation of your education. That found¬ ation must be expanded and built upon. Remember our Tech motto: Progress, Perserverance, Precision . The door of opportunity is wide open, advancement is unlimited for those with skill, knowledge, initiative and de¬ termination. W. A. B.

Page 21 AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS DEPARTMENT This Department started out as a tractor course under the direction of Mr. T. A. Headly. It would be most interesting to see what some of our students would do with the equipment the Department had at their disposal in 1921. If you have not heard of some of these tractors, maybe your father has; one Case Tractor 15-27, one Sawyer Massey Steamer, one Titan Tractor, one Waterloo Boy Tractor, one Sawyer Massey Tractor, one Cleveland Tractor, one Fordson Tractor, one Goold-Sharpley Ideal Tractor, six stationary en¬ gines, carburetor parts, etc. Mr. J. K. MacKenzie became Head of this Department in 1939. The purpose of the course is to prepare owners and operators to operate intell¬ igently and repair farm power machinery. Courses are given on tractors, diesel, farm machinery, building construction, economics and welding. All the staff but Mr. MacKenzie are Institute graduates. One graduate is Service Manager of International Harvester Company in London, Ontario. . The course best trains young men for modern farming, and that is where most of the graduates are to be found. Page 23 AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS AND FARM CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTORS One hundred years ago seventy-five percent of the people living in what is now Canada, lived on the land. They pro¬ duced enough food for themselves and for the remaining twenty five per cent; but nothing for export. Now only twenty-five per cent of all the people of Canada live on the land. Their productions of food is such that they feed all the people of Canada and are frequently harassed by surplus. This tremendous change has been brought about entirely by a change over from a man-powered agriculture to a mechan¬ ized agriculture. The machine in agriculture is one of the out¬ standing wonders of our age. The efficient management of this machine is one of the most important problems of our age. J. K.

Day classes have been continuing ever since and night classes in Art are given. A new feature in 1947 was the addition of Saturday Morning Classes for children. Other Directors through the years have been Mr. Leighton, 1929, Mr. H. G. Glyde, 1935, Mr. J. W. MacDonald, 1946 and Mr. I. H. Kerr, 1947. (jhe Depart¬ ment has five full time instructors now During the last few years, students of the Department have won honors in the Dominion wide poster contests sponsored by the Victorian Order of Nurses. Other awards won are scholarships presented by the Alberta Visual Arts Board. Outside commitments are undertaken by day students who make this part of their technical training. This aids them financially. Gratifying rewards have been obtained by graduates in Commercial Art through general advertising and display work. Graduates in Crafts and Ceramics are employed by the handicrafts division of the Red Cross in leather work and weaving. Fine Arts graduates have been employed as art instruc¬ tors and have made many outstanding contributions to the exhibitions of the Alberta Society of Artists. Page 31 ART INSTRUCTORS I. H. KERR Each year new names, new faces, and behind each a questing spirit, seeking. Just to create a form, to enhance, a space with line and colour? That has been done and done since primitive times, and in many ways—romantic to classic, totemic to non-objective—with styles discarded, techniques reborn. Still the urge remains, and perhaps more than ever a sense of craftsmanship stirs us to use our hands deprived of skill by machines. But mere skill cannot satisfy the creative mind, and so, unless subservient to popular demand or to the needs of commerce, there finally opens that path of highly personal adventure—a search for equivalents with which to express the paradoxical unity of our universe. Few reach that point of maturity which allows full expres¬ sion of one ' s highest self, so rare is greatness; yet let us remember that our degree of civilization is not general: it is a purely individual attainment.

Page 36 ART CANDIDS Advanced Commercial Art sludents submitted cover designs ot outstanding quality for the Tech-Art Record this year. Two of the designs were decided upon by the Year Book Committee; one |d be used on the 1951-1952 book and the other the 1952-1953 cover. The one selected and used this year was designed by Paul Sembaliuk. Paul Sembaliuk and Art Hopping, as our editors of this year ' s Record, had the full co-operation and assistance of the Commercial Art students. Another new feature this year is that the cover of the Year Book has been reproduced using the Silkscreen Process by the following advanced Commercial Art students: Lillian Clapp, Paul Sembaliuk and Art Hopping. The three students concerned are to be congratulated on this original achievement in adding a real personal touch to the cover, and at the same time achieving a great deal of economy in our production. Page 37 AUTOMOBILE MECHANICS DEPARTMENT This Department was headed by Mr. C. A. Choate until his death in 1951. Mr. Choate had led the Department lor thirty-two years and was interested in Tech sports, especially basketball. He served with the 31st Battalion during the First World War. He commanded the 13th Field Company, R.C.E. at the start of the Second World War and was awarded the Efficiency Decoration for his work as Supervisor of the Canadian Army Trade Tests. Mr. Choate returned to Tech in 1946, and at the time of his death he was District Commis¬ sioner for the Scouts. Mr. F. Wynne became Head of the Department in 1951, and was a department student of 1922. One of the Department ' s most newly equipped rooms is a product of Mr. Wynne ' s initiative. The Paint and Spray Room was designed by him after he toured five of the great car manufacturing firms in the East, taking the best ideas from each. It contains 200 infra-red, 250 watt bulbs, which provide a temperature of 240 degrees F. A fan and filter move 200 feet of air a minute, providing fresh air and removing fumes, enabling the painters to work without masks. A car is painted and baked dry in half an hour. This modern-shop contains such equipment as Bear Alignment, frame straightening, front-end alignment, wheel straightening and balancing, head light testing, etc. In the brake shop, brake drums are trued on lathes with guages and shoe bonding is done. With the addition of the new shop build¬ ing will come a vehicle dynamometer. This machine duplicates road conditions encountered by a car with automatic gear transmission. Corrections can be made right in the shop. Graduates of this Department are found in garages, as mechanics, service managers and shop foremen. They have become leaders in their field as a result of this training. Automobile Mechanics Page 39 AUTOMOBILE MECHANICS INSTRUCTORS F. B. WYNNE The Automobile Mechanics Department continues to ex¬ pand. An additional building is to be built for next term to house all Automobile Mechanics Apprentices for the Province of Alberta. The new shop will be eighty feet by two hundred and seventy-five feet, and will have a complete new set up of equip¬ ment. By the end of our 1951-52 term eight hundred and ninety- six students will have taken training - in the Automobile Mechanics Department. Of this number one hundred and seventy-one were in Autobody repair and painting, six hundred and nineteen Automobile Mechanics Apprentices, forty-two in regular Institute Courses, and eleven Industrial Arts teachers taking training in Automotive, leading to the degree of Bach¬ elor of Education. Also fifty three students were enrolled in night classes. The department instructional staff has been increased to ten instructors. Our shops have taken on the busy appearance of large Commercial Shops seen in industry. On behalf of the staff and myself I would like to express our appreciation for your enthusiasm and co-operation which has made 1951 -52 a pleasant year. May we wish you every success in the future. F. B. WYNNE, Head—Automobile Mechanics Department Page 40 IN MEMORIAM MR. C. A. CHOATE, A.M.S.A.E. The sudden death of Mr. Choate, July 15, 1951, was a shock to all the Instructors and Students who knew him as a friend and companion. He will long be remembered as an excellent instructor, patient and kindly in his manner, with a driving spirit to serve youth. The heartfelt sympathy of the Instructors and his Students are extended to Mrs. Choate and family. The measure of a man ' s life is the well-spending of it and not the length. —Plutarch.

Page 43 WELDING DEPARTMENT Due to the rapid development of welding in the past few years, there are now thirty seven different welding processes. Engineers, who in the past were dubious, are now quick to seize upon the advantages of welded design and construction. So great has been its expansion, that today it is considered the third largest industry in the world. Its greatest limitation at present is the lack of skilled tradesmen to engage in this field. The quickening tempo caused by rapid development, has made it difficult indeed, for the operator to keep abreast of the times, especially those not engaged in the highly industrialized areas. With this in mind the welder must spend more time on the reading of informative articles, and give more thought to the future. Let no grass grow between your toes! Good luck fellows, and good welding. R. R. SHEARER, Head—Welding Department. WELDING DEPARTMENT Mr. R. R. Shearer came to the Institute in 1947 to be in charge of this Department. Up to that time the course had been sponsored by the Canadian Liquid Air Company. C.L.A. supplied all the equipment and instructors in return for which they received the use of the class rooms. The Company sold many welding outfits to the students when they graduated. The course is the shortest of any given at Tech, being three weeks duration. The Department teaches the latest in welding practices. Inert (Argon) Gas and Argo-Arc electric welding are taught as well as Automatic Gas Cutting and Radio-Graph Oxy-Acetylene welding, and new types of welding outfits.

Page 49 CANDIDS REMODELLING CUTTING PRACTICE THE HEATS UN WHEEL BALANCING Page 50 m -m m DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION This Department has been developed because of the shortage of trained men in the building trade. It was originally a part of the Drafting Department under Mr. L. H. Bennett. Mr. M. I. Tomlinson went with the Department to the Victoria Park Grandstand in 1939, became the Head of the Department in 1940 and returned to the B building in 1945. They have the finest building construction set-up in Canada as far as equipment and course is concerned. They have the very best in layout and design equipment. A new addition next year will be the new building in which there will be a room big enough to erect a one and one-half story building. Courses are taught to first and second year Building Construction, first to fourth year Carpentry Apprentices, first to third year Industrial Arts, students, and some take special courses. Night classes are also taught. Building Construction graduates become estimators, contractors, foremen, timekeepers, salesmen of building products and others enter architectural work. Carpentry Apprentices learn the carpentry trade and go into that trade on completion of their course. Industrial Arts students use their training leading to the degree of B.Ed. to become qualified shop teachers. Page 53 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTORS M. W. RABY F. E. WHITTLE A. WASS R. C. SMITH G. A. SANDERS M. I. TOMLINSON Enquiring minds are needed in building construction! To the person with an enquiring mind it is a singular ' pleasing thought that he may learn something new eac day. As this term draws to a close he realizes that man opportunities for learning have been presented to him, an even when the brief stay at Tech has become a thing of til past, opportunities for learning continue to appear. Som times there will be great temptation to let these opportunity slip past, but the person who grasps them eagerly with be hands is headed for the top. Your Building Construction instructors hope that th have whetted your appetites, aroused your curiosity and mat 1 you eager to advance in whatsoever branch of the buildii industry you choose to serve.

Mr. L. E. Pearson was Drafting and Design instructor from 1921 to 1948. He was Joined by Mr. L. H. Bennett from 1930 to 1936. Mechanical Drafting was taught by Mr. D. C. Jones from 1939 to 1941, and Mr. G. R. Howarth became Head of the Department in 1949. Architectural Drafting and Mechanical Drafting were part of the original courses taught, but Survey Drafting was not added until the early ' 30 ' s. The Department has now grown from one room to four rooms, and from one instructor to four full time instructors plus seven part time instructors. Architectural Draftsmen learn the design and structure for the building trade. They have obtained positions with Architects, Structural Branches of Oil Companies, as junior draftsmen in offices and all positions of the building trade. Some have become General Supervisors of their Companies. Mechanical Draftsmen leam the design and. structure of machines and machine parts. They also get some survey drafting with their course. Graduates have obtained positions with Oil Companies, with Machine and Manufacturing Companies, and as juniors in many drafting offices. The Survey Drafting Course was bom out of the Geology Course which was taught at Tech. The course caters to the Oil Industry, Land Surveys, Highway Building, Exploration by Forestry and Mines Department of Canada. Besides the facilities of the Drafting Department there is a complete stock of survey instruments which gives the student excellent practice in field work. The Drafting Department has drawing machines, mechanical lettering machines, and Blue Print and Ozalid machines which are the latest in drafting techniques. Page 59 DRAFTING INSTRUCTORS G. R. HOWARTH The year 1952 finds the people of Alberta well started on a new and unprecedented phase of a varied history. On every hand new oil wells are sprouting, industries mushroom¬ ing, buildings springing up and highways snaking their tor¬ tuous way into still remote and untapped parts of our Province. This is the awakening of one of the world ' s richest areas to industry and commerce. In the heart of all this frenzied bustle of activity the surveyor and draftsman are exploring, recording, analysing and planning, essential cells in the brain of industry. This busy scene is literally crying for well trained drafts¬ men and surveyors. There never has been a rosier time than the present, to look for that particular little nitch in which you belong. G.

Gandell was the first Head of this Department, which was taken over by Mr. F. N. Rhodes in 1926. Mr. D. C. Fleming, who started with the Radio Department in 1935, became Head of the Electrical Department in 1947. The course teaches the uses of electrical power installation, operation and repair. The student gets a broad electrical training on the latest equipment and must specialize after graduation. A great demand has arisen for elec¬ tricians, because of the increased building construction. Places of employment are: Telephone Companies, Electrical Utilities, Railway Communications and Electrical Controls, and Electrical Contractors. THE RADIO DEPARTMENT The Radio Department is now under the direction of Mr. W. Partin. It started out as part of the Electrical Department, but because the field has become more complex with the years, it has grown to an important position of its own. With this evolution, the Radio Course and the Refrigeration Course will be separated next year. The Refrigeration Course will be a full eight months ' course, and with the addition of television theory the Radio Course will become two years in length. The first year Radio Course will cover the domestic A.M. receiver field. The second year course will contain television, receiver theory, frequency modulation, industrial electricity, and high frequency radio and radar. Each student has his own service bench which contains all the latest radio testing equipment; oscilloscopes, signal tracers, F.M.. and A.M. transmitter and receiver sets, tube testers, etc. The one year Refrigeration Course will be provided for the new trade as designated by the Provincial Government. It will give apprentices work on domestic and commercial machines, and with special tools. Demands for graduates far exceeds the supply. They find positions in domestic servicing, seismograph, broadcasting, and industrial electronic work, as shop foreman, and with C.P.A. COMMERCIAL WIRELESS DEPARTMENT Mr. C. M. Johnson came to Tech from the United States in 1945 to head this course that had developed from the war. It had been part of the Radio Department under Mr. D. C. Fleming but became a separate Department in 1946. It was developed because of the serious shortage of operators. The course teaches codes, electrical and radio theory, shopwork and rules of message handling and distress procedure. Most of the graduates obtain jobs as oper¬ ators in the aero trade. Others go to marine work, mining, forestry, broadcast¬ ing, and oil companies. Electrical Department Page 65 INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICITY INSTRUCTORS .

In the Radio Shop several new items of equipment have enabled the Department to offer a greater variety of shop instruction, particularly to the second year students. For the first time a frequency modulated transceiver has been available for student use. The requests by industry for radio and electronic students have far exceeded the supply. In the refrigeration course for the first time refrigeration apprentices have been enrolled. I wish to take advantage of the Year Book facilities to wis i all the students from both the Radio and Refrigeration classes the best of luck, and remind them of the necessity to keep on studying after leaving Tech.

It was not until 1947 that cooking was added to the course. The Restaurant Management Course was made a separate part of the Department in 1949 when Mrs. R. A. Denny took charge. During the war the Department was housed in the Coste House. The Dressmaking Course has an enrollment of about forty students a year. They have a newly modernized kitchen and shop. It teaches basic sewing, commercial patterns and basics of drafting in the first year. During the second year, students specialize in tailoring, designing, drafting, costume work, applied art and crafts, embroidery and a comprehensive study of textiles. Graduates become dressmaking assistants, some own shops, and some become fabric consultants. The object of the Restaurant Management Course is to train students to run small, clean food establishments efficiently. It also encourages those interested in cooking as an art. The fully modern cafeteria provides the shop for their training. They handle from five hundred to one thousand customers in about three and a half hours a day. An added feature is the snack bar just opened up. It is interesting to note that there are some four thousand restaurants in Alberta of which only sixty are large establishments. These small restaurants need the training available in the restaurant management course. Graduates find employment in their own restaurants, department stores, hotel dining rooms, coffee shops, clubs, hospitals and catering firms. The positions of assistant manager and manager, with good salaries, are open to all. Page 75 DRESSMAKING AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTORS H. A. DENNY DRESSMAKING . . . This year the Dressmaking Department leveled off with-l out much alteration. After three years of drastic curriculum I changes, a large amount of new equipment, plus an entirely! new staff, we were able to relax a bit. However we did; increase the drafting in both classes and dropped men ' s! tailoring in second year. New furniture and paint in the! I.O.T.A. room greatly improved its appearance. Highlights of the year which will not be forgotten were— First, the evening dress Fashion Show during intermission atl the Banquet Dance. Second, the first year girls flashing diamonds after Christmas. Third and last. Dr. Fowler model ! ing a plaid shirt and slacks at the Spring Fashion Show. To the graduating class we wish all success in the! future and please do not forget how to balance your budgets. ■ RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT . . . This third year has shown us the value of good equip¬ ment. Having a much smaller class with no previous exper-| ience we have topped all records of the last two years. Wei are busting at the seams during the noon hour and wonder! when it will ever stop. Mrs. Beckett and Mrs. Johnston plus! our old standby Mrs. Marshall, certainly eased our load. The I new deep fat fryer, the new beaters, plus the canopies, fan, [ and acoustic ceiling have also helped. To all of you, I wish to express my thanks for your cal operation and conscientious effort, which did much to make! this a successful year. R. A. DENNY, Head—Home Economics Department.

Shop Courses were taught through the Tractor Shops, the Steam Engineering Shops and other general shops. Mr. T. A. Headly was the original Tractor Shop Head in 1921, and in 1937 Mr. E. W. Wood became Head of the Machine Shop. Mr. O. Kingsep, a student of 1926-28, joined the teaching staff in 1939. He became Head of the Machine Shop Department in 1945. The Machine Shop Department teaches Machine Shop skills to such re¬ lated departments as Aero, Mechanical Drafting, Tractor, Electric and Motor Mechanics. They have three of the best equipped shops in Western Canada; 1st year shops, 2nd year shops, and a heat treating room. Their own students learn drafting and design of machinery parts, and how to build them. They can build almost any kind of machine part, for example, rebuilding lathes, hydrau¬ lic presses, etc. They have lathes, grinders, shapers, millers and a $40,000.00 planer which is complete with a motor driven D.C. generator and has automatic controls. There are three full time instructors in the Department, and their eve¬ ning courses meet a wide audience with designers, draftsmen and engineers. Graduates have top ranking positions in industry as foremen, and some as mechanical engineers. Students are credited by employers for time spent in school. Page 81 MACHINE SHOP INSTRUCTORS O. KINGSEP This Department gives training in metal work to a variety of groups of students, each course having its own objective. Regular Machine Shop students study all phases of machine work, while many other groups get machine shop training as a related subject in their course. Industrial Arts students take metal work as part of their teacher training program, while the objective of Sheet Metal Apprentices is to become journey¬ men in the sheet metal trade. When we add to these, evening courses in machine shop and materials testing and heat treating, we get an idea of the variety of courses offered in metal work. This year, one hundred and three students have received instruction in this Department. Although this total appears large, we would like to see a larger enrolment in our regular machine shop course next year, as we have excellent training facilities in our two well equipped machine shops. The oppor¬ tunities in this field of work for boys with good mechanical aptitude are excellent. We welcome Messrs. George Hare, Charles Sharp and Roy VanMeter to the staff this year. To all students taking metal work, and especially our graduating students, we would like to express our apprecia¬ tion for your co-operation and enthusiasm which has made our job of teaching much more pleasant and worthwhile.

Mr. A. J. Bowering entered the Department in 1947 and Mr. A. R. G. Leckie in 1951. The Science Department is well equipped to give first-rate instruction to our students in the field of Science. It is proposed to assist them to become more thoroughly aware of the underlying principles which govern the function¬ ing of the trade or skill which they have chosen. Our work is largely of an industrial nature, and an attempt is being made to tie in as closely as possible with normal industrial practices. For example, practically all fields of study in the School require a fair knowledge of the petroleum products either as fuels or lubricants. Our laboratories have the finest industrial equipment designed for this purpose, such as Thermoviscose meters, a very low temperature bath, complex apparatus for ascertaining Sulfur, adequate distillation apparatus, a superlative Gas Analyzer, and similar equipment. In the study of Building Materials and Cement, proper testing equipment is on hand to acquaint the student with the specifications required by the Industry. Similarly, the prescribed equipment for the evaluation of coals is also available. Generally speaking then, the Science Department is attempting to main¬ tain a liaison with Industry and make industrial procedures available to our Students for the furtherance of their studies. Next year the Science Department is expecting to introduce a new course for laboratory technicians. This course will give a broad technical laboratory training related to industry, and will be the only one of its kind in Western Canada. ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT In 1919 the Canadian Vocational Training Act provided ten million dollars for the establishment of Technical Schools. This was allotted on a per-capita basis to each Province. The Province ' s share in the cost on a 50 50 basis. The Act stated that the educational facilities were not to be of college grade but English had to be taught. When this Act expired the Tech revised the English Course to suit the requirements of a technical training. Thus the course. General Knowledge, was added to the curriculum. The course in addition to English, includes more general information which the student will en¬ counter after graduation. Mr. L. H. Bennett taught the English up to 1939, and when he left the subject was taken over by other instructors. Mr. F. G. Young is now Head of the Department. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT To what extent is our familiarity with scientific ideas and practices essential to our everyday life? I would go so far as to say that the intelligent Canadian must be adequately aware of the tremendous strides made by scientific research in the twentieth century. This awareness is part of living in the Atomic Age. I am convinced that every Canadian knows who Barbara Ann Scott is. Unfortunately, however, he may not know the discoverers of insulin, or the electron microscope, or R.D.X. Yet these men have contributed immeasurably to our welfare as Canadians. It should be obvious that the pursuit of scientific ideas is just as vitally a part of our Canadian culture as the devotion to the arts. In fact the cultural heritage of every Canadian is composed of the accomplishments of his pioneering prede¬ cessors, of the fight for existence against powerful enemies, of the development of a typically Canadian Art, Music, Drama and Literature, and of the pushing back of the frontiers of science and knowledge. All these forces together must weld us into a strong unity. N. SAFRAN, Head—Science Department DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND ENGLISH We live in an era of technical progress. Within the short span of the life of the students at Tech , many new develop¬ ments have taken place. Radar, television, jet aircraft and the use of atomic energy are only a few of these. Few realize, however, that behind all these advances in technology are the mathematical principles that have been discovered by the men and women who have developed new ideas in the realm of pure mathematics. Seldom has the engineer found that his progress has been halted by the lack of the neccessary mathematical tools. In fact the mathematician is usually in advance of the technologist. Many times in our history, the abstract reasonings of the mathematician have suggested ideas that have led to new technical discoveries. In most cases it is highly necessary for the practical man to have a foundation of mathematics. He may be highly skilled in his trade, but to understand what he is doing and to be able to meet unusual situations, he must depend on his knowledge of mathematics to assist him. For these and other reasons, mathematics plays an important part in the various courses offered at the Institute. F. G. YOUNG, Head—Mathematics and English Department G. W. MILES SPORTS Many students are engaging in numerous minor sports and are acquiring skills that may carry over into healthful recreation in adult life. In some cases active participation in sports has thrown an adverse effect on scholastic stand¬ ing. This is caused in most cases by a lack of character, organization and proper attitudes on the part of the student—and can be corrected. School and sports can be successfully combined only by a man who has determination, organization, and intelligence. EXCERPTS FROM THE RESEARCH GUIDE Industry and business want brains and trained thinking, but it also wants the physical capacity, the courage and team consciousness that sports develop. We find that enlisted personnel adapt themselves much bettter to the Armed Service life and have better leadership potential when they have had experience in sports. We suggest there should be a greater effort to organize better planned and supervised sports activities for the youth of the country, especially in the schools. There should be every attempt made to combine physical and mental activity. What the schools should turn out are ' whole ' people and not ' fragmentary ' youth. It is the complete person¬ ality development that is needed. A combination of physical and mental training and experience is the only way to accomplish this. This, of course, demands excellent organization and a proper, intelligent attitude on the part of all concerned—parents, students and teaching staff. OQQOOOOPOflflMHMMS CTra OPQQQOQOOOOOOOO Page 87 On behalf of the Basketball Team and Coach, J. Hamilton, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the staff and students for the ardent support given us in this our most suc¬ cessful basketball year in the history of the Institute. The Intermediate City League was composed of four teams playing a 24-game schedule. The Tech” team finished in second place—behind the league-leading Pontiacs—but in the three-game playoffs proved to be the better team. After copping the City Championship the team went on to capture the Central Alberta Championship, defeating Red Deer, in a two-game total point home and home series. Travelling to Edmonton the team downed the highly rated Kingsway Car Market Club in two straight games to win the right to play the Southern Alberta Champs in the Alberta finals. The Alberta finals between Tech and the New Dayton Ramblers provided the most hair-raising basketball entertainment of the season. Although the Tech team suffered a large setback in the open¬ ing halves of the three games they came from behind to win the Alberta Championship two games out of three, the first by four points and the third and decided game by one point. On behalf of the team I would like to thank our Coach, John Hamilton, and also Jim Clark for their support and help throughout the year. W. BROWN, Z 2. BASKETBALL GIRLS ' SPORTS The Girls ' Basketball Team has been a great disappoint¬ ment this year. For the first few months after organization everyone turned out enthusiastically. After this, however, interest fell and all but three or four members dropped out. A few games were played at which the Tech girls were on the short end of the scoring list. The girls had hoped for a road trip but due to the lack of co-operation and enthusiasm this was found to be impossible. In spite of this, however, our Coach, A. Dozzi, who gave freely of his time and knowledge, was always at the gym for work-outs at the given time. Volleyball for the girls has turned out quite well and has proved to be fun for all those concerned. At noon on Thurs¬ days the girls have deserted the second floor and taken to the gym for a series of games. Our thanks to Dozzi who unfailingly turned out for basketball and also our thanks to the boys who assisted with volleyball at noon. Thanks, fellas ! DONNA WRAY, P 2. INCHES COUNT CUP HOLDERS Page 89 HOCKEY AND BADMINTON CLUB BADMINTON CLUB The Club was organized late in October with the assist¬ ance of Mr. Leckie. Membership increased to twenty-five, but due to the size and availability of the gymnasium everyone could not be accommodated. After the New Year an Elimination Tournament was played against Varsity. Tech was victorious in 45 of the 70 games played. Winners of the events were: Jerry Drake, ladies ' singles; Irene Hancash and Jerry Drake, ladies ' doubles; Len Crowther, men ' s singles; Len Crowther and Jim McCulloch, men ' s doubles; Donna Way and Len Crowther, mixed doubles. At present, a ladder tournament is in progress and will continue until the close of the badminton season. May we hope to see greater outside competition next year plus a few more girls who are interested in the activity. T. N. WEIR, R 2, President. HOCKEY Well, the puck-chasing sport had its ups and downs at Tech this year. The big stumbling block was Mother Nature herself. A bit of co-operation from the old gal would have seen the Panthers and class hockey going strong. Hockey got an enthusiastic start with an organization meeting at which Derrill Smith was elected President, and Nelson MacDonald, General Manager. Constructive advice was supplied by Staff Advisor, Mr. Snell, and Athletic Chair¬ man, Bob Pitts. The Panthers, under the sharp eye of Jim Drew, showed lots of sparkle and finish, but the weatherman kept them from displaying it. However, summing it up, hockey enjoyed a successful season, ha! The Panthers had their best year, tasting defeat only once. So, in signing thirty to this hockey round-up, let ' s just sit back and dream of the day artificial ice will come to Tech. NELSON MacDONALD, R 2. Page 90 CURLING CLUB The Curling Club enjoyed a good year; as good as the weather permitted. We started out the season with eight rinks which later were trimmed down to six rinks. A great interest was shown by the girls this year, with at least one girl, and in some cases two girls, on a rink. They played a dominant part in our activities. The greatest interest of the year was centered around a bonspiel, which will go down in the books as one of the longest in history. Because of our climatic changes, the ' spiel, with 32 rinks entered took three months to play. The Chinook kept the ice quite soggy most of the winter. Next year, with artificial ice in at the North Hill Curling Club, we will be assured of good ice. The bonspiel was played off between teams from Tech, Varsity students and Instructors. We met a number of people from the other side, we had fun—and some even got into the prizes. With the coming years we hope this bonspiel will be¬ come a greater and greater attraction. Winners of the bonspiel were: Primary Event_O. Bildfell Secondary Event _ A. Doucette Consolation Event_A. Buehler M. ALLAN BUEHLER, L.S. 1. SECONDARY WINNERS PRIMARY WINNERS Page 91 ACTIVITIES In a recent survey it was revealed that those graduates of certain colleges in the United States, who took part in extra-curricular activities while in school, later obtained higher vocational success than the average. Those graduates with a record of substantial achievement were earning on the average 20 per cent above the entire group. Those with some achievement were earning 10 per cent more and those with no achievement were earning 10 per cent below the average salary of the alumni. With these results in mind some colleges have made extra¬ curricular activities part of the academic course. The student government, like all democratic functions, exists to promote the welfare of the students. Through leadership a student can discover and develop unforseen abilities and learn fellowship. Committee work on the aspects of finance, social and publications provide outlets for other types of abilities. Other clubs make use of still different abilities of the student. Many activities may prove valuable from the vocational as well as avocational viewpoint. It is a known philosophy that we learn by doing, and where there is no self activity there is no learning. Educational institutions are concerned with what is learned, and campus activities must be judged accordingly. The development of the mind is of prime importance and can be learned by participation in a wisely guided programme of activities. Democracy can only be learned by living as active, purposeful, and responsible participants in democracy. You may already be active in student functions, or you may be on the side lines. What ever your present status, the Institute social world contains a wealth of opportunities for trying out your powers of leadership and fellowship; for learning to choose the finer values in life, and for developing a personality.

It has been a hard task to dig the paper out of the moth balls. Much had to be organized, quarters procured, reporters hired and manager secured; and the big job, trying to find Shorty. Then we were ready, the material was organized and the printer went to work. The paper goes to bed after final proof reading and careful checking. It ' s a real pleasure to see the final outcome of your work. The final step, selling to the public is critical—will the people like it? It is a great feeling to see a person smiling at something he read in the paper. Well, there you have it, the complete paper. Let ' s hope it never gets stale again or receives the tribute extended to it in last year ' s Tech-Art Record. It ' s up to the students next year, now, to keep this paper going, full of vigor and vitality, never again to go on the rocks. In closing, I and the staff would like to thank personally, the following people, without whom we could not have faced our great task: Mr. Forster and Mr. Stromberg, our staff represen¬ tatives; Miss Keibel, our typist; Dr. Fowler, Miss Sinclair and Miss Dowkes for their invaluable assistance.

The Rifle Club started out with a bang in the fall with close to 35 members and up until Christmas enjoyed great popularity, but afterwards has dwindled down to about the present ten or fifteen faithfuls. Meetings were held on Mondays and Thursdays from 7 o ' clock on and even some members of the fairer sex turned out to demonstrate their shooting abilities. If you were to drop in you would see some excellent shooting in all positions: prone, standing, and sitting. The Rifle Club was directed by A. Bjornebo, who was very helpful to novice shooters and others more experienced in showing them the finer points of competition shooting. DON ATTWELL, Kl. HAM CLUB The Ham Club was formed in November when Mr. John¬ son explained the purpose, unlimited possibilities and advan¬ tages of such an organization. A Ham or Radio Amateur, as he is sometimes known, in International Law is defined as: A duly authorized person interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest. Radio is his scientific hobby, a means of gaining personal skill in the fascinating art of electronics and an opportunity to communi¬ cate with fellow citizens by private short wave. He is a mem¬ ber of 150,000 radio operators scattered over the globe who are constantly striving to develop and improve apparatus and technique. All Hams must be licensed and thus have to pass an examination on operation, apparatus, provisions of law and regulations affecting amateurs, and ability to send and receive code. Twenty-three members who joined the club began study¬ ing during noon hours in the Commercial Wireless Room. Instruction was volunteered by the more experienced on code, procedure, terms and abbreviations, regulations, and theory. Turns were taken on the transmitter and many contacts made with friendly Hams across the border, in our own Province, as well as other Provinces. It is now hoped that all can pass the exam for their tickets and continue in this interesting hobby. J. P. SKITCKO, E.O., Secretary. Page 98 I. O. T. A. CLUB The present I.O.T.A. Club is made up of all the girls at¬ tending Tech during the year 1951-52. This year the Club has been fairly active with an evening of entertainment once a month. The Club consists of twenty-four girls from Dressmaking 1 and 2, Survey Drafting and Food Service Training classes. In October, 1951, the following officers were elected: MARY BELL LAWSON . Vice-President NANCY YAMASHITA ........ Secretary SOCIAL COMMITTEE: Stella Tomyn, Alice Buoy, Rita Brennan and Edith Pickering. We find that a good portion of our money was well spent on curling fees this year. The girls that didn ' t know how to curl were willing to learn—especially when they decided to have mixed rinks. Even some of our beginners can now instruct. Two skating parties have been held with a fair attend¬ ance. Lunch was served afterwards for those who were lucky enough to get there on time! Our one theatre party was enjoyed by all who attended— even though it was the coldest night of the year. We have taken great pleasure in playing volleyball Thursday noons and having our instructors join in the fun. Our meetings this year have been most successful and we hope that in the future the I.O.T.A. Club will continue to encourage active members, wider interests and hearty co¬ operation. BETTY CRILLY, P 2, President. Page 99 Planned to be a combination of entertainment and en¬ lightenment, the Art Discussion Group has brought to the students a series of films bearing on all the Arts and Crafts. Following each showing a lunch was served in the D Building. Interest was good and attendance improved over former years. The monthly meetings began with films on Canadian Art, including the works of A. Y. Jackson, Tom Thompson and painters of Quebec. To add significance to the programme, Mr. Kerr showed prints and gave a lecture on the trend of Canadian Art. The showings that followed consisted of Art and Life in Italy, Finger Painting and Techniques, The Lion ' s Neck¬ lace, The Season ' s and Arts and Crafts of Mexico. Mr. Lindoe spoke on the History of Water Color, following the films Painting the Chinese Landscape and Out of a Chinese Paintbrush. At time of writing, more films are to come. We feel that our purpose in showing the films is succeeding: that stirring of interest in the beauty of original creation, that interest in the finer than ordinary that will add to the art-students ' personal and professional development. JOY SUTERMEISTER, R 11. LITERARY REPORT Interest was rather lacking in the production of lits in the year 1951-52, but there were three which are well worth mentioning. The Staff put on the first lit of the term, a clever parody about a school year at Tech. The motley group of students being enrolled on registration day including everything fr om Doukhobors to a cricket-playing Englishman. Classes were a bedlam—the instructors gave forth with confusion lectures and were in turn made the objects of embarrassing questions and practical jokes. The skit ended with a farcical graduation speech by the Principal, followed (to the infinite relief of the instructors) by the departure of the students. The Aero Department presented a mutilation of a panto- mine called The Shiek. The capture of El Hashish (The Dope) of three girls lost in the Sahara formed the basis of the play. The girls managed to survive and escaped at the end, their honor still intact. | The Art Department production, The Origin of the Medi¬ cine Lodge, was probably the best lit in our school ' s history. A great deal of work must have gone into the stage lighting and the fascinating costumes and sets. Presented in a serious vein, it followed closely an old and very interesting Blackfoot Indian legend. A beautiful maiden had given herself to the sun and the legend tells of how her lover visited the sun to ask for her hand in marriage. This was granted. Also was he instructed to erect, on his return, a building in the sun ' s name. This was done and thus was the origin of the Medicine Lodge. A tribute should be given the Auto Mechanics ' Orchestra, which put on a very good programme as a fill-in for one of the Lits . It is felt that these performances have helped to make up somewhat for the general apathy of the rest of the school in the staging of lits. Next year, it is hoped, every class will put on at least one of these presentations. BOB CONSTABLE, LYALL WEBSTER, Z 3. The best yet! So claimed those who attended the 30th Annual Banquet and Dance. Very few occasions such as this are noted for gaining momentum over a period of 30 years but the Annual has done just that. To get the atmosphere of the Crystal Room of the Palliser on the first Friday in February, all you need is four hundred people in their best bib and tucker , bound and determined to have a good time: good food, excellent entertainment, and fine music. A table-full of mechanical drafters and machinists add a great deal of sparkle, too, especially when they are in com¬ petition with the Ag. Mechs. I hope that my successor will be able to make the 31st an even better affair but I ' m sure he will not have any better co¬ operation from his committee. My thanks to them. All credit must go to the Art Department, without whose efforts the whole evening would have been very drab. Dr. Fowler ' s retirement was the theme of this year ' s ban¬ quet, and while we are sorry to see him go we are glad to have had the opportunity to give him a really colorful send-off. The best yet tribute to the best yet Principal. G. M. MALYON, Z 3.

Of these honoured people we are in¬ deed proud. The T Award underwent considerable renovation this year. In previous years the T Awards were divided into six types causing a mass of confusion and far too many awards distributed. This year the type of awards have been cut to two, a Major Award and a Minor Award. A point system of selec¬ tion was instigated this year to determine award winners. This way proved quite accurate and concise. With this new method comes a reduction in the number of awards offered. There are in the vicinity of seven Major Awards and fifteen Minor Awards. The following students have given their time unselfishly to extra curricular activities. For this they have been honoured as recipients of T Awards. Congratulations to the above mentioned, they are stu¬ dents who have done their share in living up to our motto: Precision, Perseverance, Progress. NELSON MacDONALD, Art 2.

These schools, not too great in abun¬ dance, are not only beneficial for students who wish to learn or master a trade, but are of some economy to parents who otherwise would have to send sons and daughters to the University. Another advantage of having a Technical School in every large city, is that students from the country and smaller towns can more easily find lodging to their convenience, without un¬ due trouble. Students can also choose an Institute that is nearer to their home, saving money on transportation and also have a chance to visit home every week-end. Also as the schools might vary some in trades or courses offered, students would have a greater choice and would more than likely find something better to their liking; more suitable to their abilities. As we know in Calgary, many students who work during the day, go to night school where they gain knowledge of whatever course they partake. Many young men in other towns do not fair so well because no Technical schools are available, so precious time is lost and they do not make rapid progress in the way of a career or trade. Juvenile deliquency is caused by too much free time and nothing to do. It usually results in over-eager youth, who could be putting its youthful eagerness into learning a trade. A Technical school also helps solve the problem of lack of a University Entrance Course Com¬ pletion, required to enter University. Because of the lower entrance requirements, students who otherwise would have been limited in their progress have a good chance to become leading figures in Communities. By having a Technical school in every large city in Can¬ ada, our country could build up its resources and have better trained craftsmen in every field. It would also help to put Canada on a more equal competing level with the United States. Thus technical schools would not only be a valuable asset to the government and the people, but also to the fathers of industry, who are directly responsible for our common lux¬ uries of life. FRANK RADELJO, H 1. Page 105 APPRENTICE HISTORY The Apprentice Act. introduced in 1944, makes provision for employees and employers in any trade to petition the Minister of Industries and Labour, to have the trade designated under the Act. Public hearings are then held in the main centres throughout the Province in order to deter¬ mine the wishes of the majority of the employees and employers in that particular trade. If there is a strong feeling in favour of the trade, and it comes under the provisions of the Act, it is desig¬ nated by an Order-in-Council. This means that anyone employed in, and using the tools of the trade, must be a certified journeyman or an indentured apprentice. Local advisory committees consisting of equal members of employees and employers and a provincial advisory committee of similar composition, are then set up to advise the Apprenticeship Board regarding such matters as: length of apprenticeship, who may be apprenticed, academic prerequisites, periods of technical training in school, contents of the course, etc. These presentations are then considered by the five-man Apprenticeship Board, with the assistance of the Director of Apprentices. When they are finally approved they are authorized by Order-in-Council and have the effect of law. All persons engaged in the trade who do not have journeyman status must then sign a con¬ tract of apprenticeship. Credit on this period may be given on the recommendation of the local Advisory Committee for any previous training or experience in the trade, with this exception: all apprentices must complete the specified period of apprenticeship before they can write for their Journeyman ' s Certificate. They must also attend technical courses in an approved school as and when required under the regulations of their trade. In some trades this period of technical training consists of one to three months in each year of apprenticeship. In other trades there is a prolonged period of basic training in the first year and the shorter period of final training in the last year. Apprentices are passed from one year to the next by means of a three-fold test. This is the average of the ratings given them by: 1—The school; 2—Apprenticeship Board; 3—Their e mployer. All apprentices, unless excused by the Board for special reasons, must attend these technical courses, as and when required by the Board. While doing so they receive weekly subsistence allowances of twelve dollars if single, and fifteen dollars if married, in addition to free transporta¬ tion from and to their home centre—if it is outside of the city from where the school is located. While the technical training of apprentices was begun in the Canadian Vocational Training Centres in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer, it is now the policy of the Government to transfer all this technical training to the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art, Calgary, as space and equipment become available. As of December 31, 1951, there were 2,328 apprentices registered in the 12 designated trades, in the Province of Alberta. In the opinion of officials of the Federal Department of Labour, which pays half of the cost of the Apprenticeship Training Programme, the training given in Alberta is superior to that of any other Province in Canada. The number of apprentices, on a per capita basis, is also the highest in Canada. Page 107 APPRENTICES CARPENTER APPRENTICES 1A BACK ROWi NICK JOHNNIE BRINKER, OLAFUR BILDFELL, RALPH KEITH.

Page 110 ' CANDIDS DEPARTMENT OF CORRESPONDENCE INSTRUCTION The Department of Correspondence Instruction originated in 1915 with guidance courses in Coal Mining and Steam Engineering for engineers in industry who were studying for Provincial Certificates of Competency. Since its inception the Department has grown steadily and nine courses are now in operation, with a tenth course being prepared. All courses are printed within the Department by the latest models of Multilith machines. Revision of courses is a major undertaking and is going on continually to keep the subject matter of the lectures up-to-date. For many years the Department was headed by Mr. A. Higgins until his retirement in 1948. Mr. J. Platt immigrated from the University of Wales in 1948 to become Head of the Department in 1949. Mr. J. A. Middleton, who is holder of an Alberta First Class Steam Engineering Certificate, came on to the staff in 1949, and now supervises the four grades of steam courses offered. Miss E. Dowkes has been with the Department since 1931 and amongst other tasks is responsible for the typing and duplication of the course lectures. Miss D. Keibel came to the Department in 1951 as an assistant Multilith operator, and is in charge of the preparation of instruction sheets used by various classes in the Tech. It is true to say that since its formation the Department has fulfilled a definite need in upgrading industrial personnel. Well over 5,000 students have received instruction, and many are now holding positions based upon certificates which we have helped them to acquire. EVENING CLASSES Evening classes were an early addition to the Institut- courses but were more generally used from 1929 on. During the early 1930 ' s classes were given free to the unemployed. Practically all day courses are covered in night courses, with some additions and omissions. Courses offered in the eve¬ ning are designed to meet the needs of any group that may desire to organize a class. Providing there are enough mem¬ bers for a class, the facilities are available and an instructor can be found, the class will be formed. Mr. L. H. Bennett was the first Director of the Evening Classes, from 1929-1939; followed by Mr. F. G. Young, 1939-1942 and 1946-1948, and Mr. G. E. Brown, 1942-1945 and 1949-1952. DEPARTMENT OF CORRESPONDENCE For many years the Institute has offered courses through the mail which are designed to assist industrial personnel who intend studying for Provincial Certification in the fields of Steam Engineering and Coal Mining. The Department of Correspondence Instruction has a total of nine courses operating at present, with a tenth course on Strip Mining now under preparation. Our active enrolment is close to 500 derived from widely scattered points all across Canada. We have students located as far East as New Bruns¬ wick, as far West as Vancouver Island, and as far North as the Yukon. To satisfy the thirst for knowledge of these enrollees we sometimes mail out well over 1,000 new lectures a month during our busiest periods. As for Tech activities we print the instruction sheets, course notes, and shop cards with which you are all familiar. This year we have also been pleased to co-operate in the resurrection of the Emery Weal. Although we know only a few of you personally, we trust that you have had a worthwhile year at Tech , and that as a result of your own Perserverance, you have attained that all-important Precision, which will in turn lead to successful Progress in the future. JOHN PLATT, Head—Correspondence Instruction Department E. DOWKES D. I. KEIBEL Page 113 EVENING CLASS INSTRUCTORS G. E. BROWN DIR. OF EVENING CLASSES AND PLACEMENT OFFICER For the winter months of 1951-52 Tech has 922 students organized into 46 Evening Classes studying 21 subjects. Seven of these subjects (Art, Auto Mechanics, Drafting, Dressmaking, Geology, Welding and Woodwork) each attracted an enrol¬ ment of over 40 students. The total enrolment to date of 922 includes 129 children in Saturday Art classes, and 793 adults of whom 25 are also registered in various Day Courses. A completely new course in Blue Print Reading was offered for the first time this winter; and a course in Materials Testing and the Heat Treating of Metals was made available for shop foremen. The increasing size of Evening Class enrollments is a clear sign that the general public has enthusiastically recog¬ nized the value of P.I.T.A. courses in adult education. Tech is adding to its laurels in this department also. G. E. BROWN, Director of Evening Classes R. J. SPICKETT MISS L. CLAPP MISS A. COLLETT P. SEMBAUUK MISS M. SWITZER G. H. ARNOLD MISS I.

She arranged for the boy to be interviewed by a leading psychiatrist, to whom she explained that her son had a terrible in¬ ferior complex. After the interview, the doctor sent for the mother. Madam, he said, your son has no inferior complex. He ' s just inferior.

Things expand in heat and contract in cold, a student answered brightly. Give an example. In summer the days are long, and in win¬ ter they are short, said the student.

Two Indians had watched with much inter¬ est the building of a lighthouse on the rocky West Coast. When it was finally completed they sat and watched it every night. A thick fog came rolling in one night, and the siren blew continuously. Ugh, grunted one Indian to the other.

It was an atomic bomb experiment, and the In¬ dian pulled himself together in time to see a tower of smoke billow up into the sky. He watched in awe-stricken silence for a moment, then clucked his tongue and murmured, Me no boast, but that ' s the biggest word I ' ve ever written . On a week-end, a Tech student speeding towards home was stopped by a patrolman. Was I driving too fast? he asked. Heck, no, replied the patrolman. You were flying too low. The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided: but never hit softly. Building Construction Student: He hits the nail on the hand every time.
