'iiiniiiiiiiniw (imiii'Uiliilli Dedication and Contents To that spirit of justice and understanding, to that intense love for the San Antonio Vocational and Technical School and the ceaseless endeavor to benefit it, and to him who has given so much time, consideration, and energy toward the development of this school —to those things as exemplified in L. W. Fox, the Principal of Tech and the Director of Vocational Education in San Antonio this volume is dedicated. Following a modern movie theme, the 1956 yearbook re-verses the general order for school annuals, leaving the main feature to the last. It opens with the March of Time, con sisting of photographs of clubs and organizations, is followed by the Travelogue depicting a journey through Tech, and the World of Sports, picturing the Buffs in action. Last is the main feature the favorites, faculty, seniors, juniors, and sophomores. The book closes with displays from the advertisers. whose belief in our advertising campaign helped to make this book a reality. 0UTSID6 T JHE TRIUMPH sam houstoh Clubs The FI ouoer Red JdckeV Hick 9houo eon Red Jackets .At the beginning of the term 1935'36 Mrs. Anna M. Barry, with the assistance of Miss Eunice Luckenbach, Mr. Reynolds Andricks, and Miss Clara Arrington, took over the sponsor' ship of the Red Jackets. Mrs. Bess Stratton, organizer of the dub, was named honorary sponsor. Kitty Nichols was elected president at the initial meeting with Marcclle Ermich as vice president: Camille Berault, sec' retary; and Ethel Winters, treasurer. Ambition ran high among the members of this organization, and by November 28, they had secured standard uniform blouses which were paid for by a scries of “Jitney Matincc“ entertainments. The Red Jackets are proud to have in their organization such outstanding girls as Lois Winn, President of the Senior Class; Camille Carver, School Queen; Kitty Nichols, School Princess: Ethel Winters, Secretary of Student Council, and President of the Bookaneers; Camille Berault, Most Athletic Girl and President of the Junior Student Council: and Juanita Gregory, Senior Clown. Home. Tech’s Band Throughout the fall football season and the spring Fiesta season, with typical music, and Tech colors flying high, Earle Zucht and Pollyanna Earnest, dressed in flashing red and white uniforms, and acting as drum majors, pranced on to victory with Tech's Band. This organization, directed by Mr Jean Sarli, is a tireless group which has done many things to help put over the school spirit. First, by cooperating with the Red Jackets, the band made possible the presentation of some of the most spectacular for mations ever attempted by a high school drill team. Tech is very proud of the splendid showing which was dis played by the band at the various civic and school parades which they marched in and played for on various occasions. Every student of the school has, at some time or another during the year, caught the spirit of this group and stepped a little livelier, having been pepped up by the music of the band, either at a pep rally, at a football game, or at some other significant appearance of this organization. — The Bose: s L Mrs. HdrVsHeld Jusl Cooncilcr Student Council Nothing could have been more enthusiastic than the initial meeting of the Student Council, held September 25, 1955 It was a great day in the lives of A J Mandry and Mary Childress when they presided over their first meeting as president and vice president respectively. Not to be outdone by these. Ethel Winters was elected sec retary; Leo Galindo, parliamentarian: Max Roberts, sergeant-at-arms: and La Delle Mills, reporter. In addition to the conducting of all formal assemblies, the Student Council calendar for the year is as follows: September 24 Initial Meeting; election of officers. October 24 -Color Day: Eire Prevention Week. December 15 to 20 Christinas Cheer Work. February 5 “Welcome Soph Assembly. April 5-4 Attended Southwest Student Government Conference at Dallas. May I Bunco Party at Elks Club. The Student Council's project of obtaining charters for each club in the school before the close of the 1955-56 term, is one of its greatest undertakings. Ais Uck Elizabeth Head Vice-Pres. Second Building Scjuad Junior Student Council Flash- Junior Student Council is organized at Tech! The Junior Student Council, organized for the first time during the term 1935-36, was really a flash. Before this was formed alternate Student Council members had been elected to attend meetings only in the absence of their advisory dele-gates, and therefore did not take pari in many of the ac' tivities. In order that the members might actually participate in an active Student Council, the Junior organization was begun under the sponsorship of Miss Georgie Black and Mr. Wilbur Tyte. Camille Berault and Elizabeth Head were elected president and vice president respectively. Visitors who come to Tech find these students on the job, maintaining perfect discipline in the halls during the coun-selling and advisory periods Just before an assembly, students may be found at different positions, giving out programs, help mg with the seating, and enforcing traffic regulations through' out the first building. � • 9 Third Bui Min Firef Building Morning After fhetaculf Game Hi-Y Club Many activities both at the Y. M. C. A. and at the school were sponsored and attended by the members of the HiY organisation. This group is made up of the boys from the Y M. C. A. and from the school. Activities for the year, include assemblies, meetings and speeches, the most important of which was the “Older Boy's Conference held in San Antonio this year. Delegates in eluded boys from all parts of the state of Texas. The Hi-Y has cooperated with the Girl Reserves in many undertakings this term. The last Jitney Matinee, which was given for the benefit of the Girl Reserves, was fully supported by this group. Laughter and merriment prevailed as usual at the annual Hi Y faculty basketball game on Friday, March 13, at which time the faculty won a score of 36 to 31. Many undertakings have been completed by the members of the Hi-Y under the sponsorship of Mr. Wilbur Tytc, with Sterling Harwell, president: Walter Roberts, secretary'treas' urer; and Harvey Frye, reporter. omQ'bock Hdppij Now E ooVi! More Fun Ttar In i n’k Girl Reserves Hats off to the Girl Reserves, whose determination is the main causes for the existance of such a club this year! Initia-tive and perserverance prompted these energetic girls to ob' tain a sponsor for this year's work. Miss Eva Yates was chosen to'fill the position previously held by Miss Clara Arrington, and she has done very much for the organization. Led by Orian Kelberlau, president; Helen Lyons, vice presi-dent: Marcelle Ermich, Council representative; Merle Cope-land, secretary; Silvalee White, treasurer; and LaDelle Mills, reporter; the Girl Reserves have climbed to unsoared heights. The club's most important activity for the year was the Mother-Daughter banquet held at the Y. W. C. A. on Monday April 13. At the Ring Banquet outstanding members of the club received rings. A formal and informal initiation of the pledges were held at the beginning of the term, and the members have been regular attendants at the monthly Girl Reserve suppers at the Y W C. A •It's tops, this sorority of Cosmetology girls, who with their motto, “Truth is beauty, and beauty is truth, devote their efforts toward the advancing of both physical and spiritual beauty at Tech. Doris Taylor, president, and other officers Giola Phillipus, vice president; Evelyn Rose, secretary; Angelina Pliego, treasurer; and Dorothy Lee Harbour, reporter and parliamentarian, were installed on October 28 at the home of their sponsor. Miss Lydia Huntley. Pledges were formally initiated at a dinner-dance held March 13, at the Gunter Terrace, where they received pins and corsages of sweet peas, and were inspired by verses fitting to their character, composed by Mis Lydia Huntley, sponsor. The girls in the Cosote sorority have competed in many hair-dressing contests and have won many honors. Lola Rhea Davidson received a medal for creating the best hair dress at a display given during the Texas State Teachers Association convention which was held in San Antonio during November.

Shucks And Vice Versa Harmonica Harmoneers A brand new form of entertainment was introduced last fall when all the “guys” and “gals” dressed up and came to the big Barn Dance, held in the Tech cafeteria and sponsored by the Harmonica Harmonees, in coordination with the En gincers. Making their debut before the businessmen of San An tonio, the Harinonccrs furnished music and diversion at the Optimist luncheon held at Tech. Monday, March 19. Led by Thomas Stephens, their president; Pearl Harper vice president; Martha Neal, secretary and treasurer. Marg,v ret Tachirhart and Leon Thompson, parliamentarians, the Harmonica Harmoneers have had a busy season, leading up to a promising future. Several radio broadcasts have been presented over station W.O.A.l. during the year. Personal entertainment galore was the feature of a picnic given at a private dam about eight miles north of Helotcs. Four carloads of pupils, chaperoned by Mr. Andncks, spoiv sor of the club, had a rolicking good time amid fun. laughter, and food.

Fernando Morales, president; Emmett Epp, vice president: Johnny Cuellar, treasurer: and Louis Castro, reporter; have kept the Engineers zooming with activity. In coordination with the Harmoneers, a gala barn dance was held in which the entire school participated, and a picnic was given. Ice skating parties at the San Pedro “Iceland” were held every Thursday night. I heir activities including the development of social ideals, and the making of inspection trips, one to Randolf field and one to the Texas Longhorn Cement Company, have been educational as well as entertaining. I he Engineers, under the able sponsorship of Mr. Reynolds Andricks have had the honor of having one of the finest exhibits on display at the meeting of the Texas State Teachers’ Association convention, held in San Antonio during November, 1935. Wa+ck 1“hw� Birc r ? hdo w Weishprs W hc� rC '.S Tec z Graduate Club Since Tech's facilities draw such a large number of postgraduates, Mrs. Bess Stratton, in an attempt to bring about a closer relationship among the alumni of the senior schools of San Antonio by promoting social activities and projects of benefit to the school, organized the Tech Graduate Club. Eugene Meissner was elected president. Doris Bennett, secretary; William Oglesby, treasurer: George Taubert, sergeant-at-arms; and Roscoc Cahill, reporter; with Peggy Patterson later succeeding Miss Bennett as secretary. The club, meeting on the first Wednesday of each month, has enjoyed many good times and entertainments in the form of dances and lollipop and apple socials after the regular business sessions. Among some of the most outstanding accomplishments of the Tech Graduate Club was a Christmas dance honoring the presidents of the '36 Senior ('lasses of San Antonio, given at the Elks Club. Holiday colors of green and red were artistically displayed in giant bouquets of poinsettas, ferns, and palms. Indirect lighting further enhanced the beauty of this setting. and ?v ?ry + hm Your EdHore Business Men InWview ExperVs Student Publications Contrary to the general rule in the average city high school, both Tech's paper and the yearbook are published by the same staff and both publications are called “The Tech' nician. At the beginning of the fall semester, the idea of a news broadcast was established by the Technician Staff. On alternate Fridays on which the paper does not appear, current news flashes, prepared with suggestions from the history das-ses and given by the public speaking classes, were broadcast. Another, and very important project, was the campaign for a gym sponsored by the staff. Editorials, pocins, and an “Open Forum” letters constituted the actual “We Want a Gym campaign and a contest among the advisories was the climax. Among the honors won -by The Technician this year are district championship in the Interscholastic League Press Conference, a first class honor rating in the National Scholastic Press Association contest and second class honor rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association competition. 6 port Staff it Wor Rose for'lfe ch MASCOT JACKIE BOT WHAT a AN A AY daddy a catherine-the-great VICE-PRESIDENT McGuire Advisory A large per cent of Tech's talent from the art department of the school under the supervision of Mr. Jack McGuire. The McGuire advisory, which is composed of approximately thirty members with Jack Earnest as persident; Katherine Heisler, vice president; Arthur Trevino, secretary and treasurer: Jay Creager, sergeant-at-arms. and Mary Anderson, reporter and Student Council Representative: is one ol the most active organizations of Tech. On Thursday, April 9. this group hold picnic and skating party at Brackenridge park and the St Mary’s Skating Rink. This event formed their chief spring-term social entertainment. This advisory boasts of such prominent members of the school as Frank Dromgoole. art editor of rite Technician yearbook lor the past two years: Candelario de la Garza, artist of the Senior Class: and Jack Earnest.

It seems that with this fact and the sponsorship hacking of Mrs. Martha Winter and Miss Gene Carr, the club has had xhe most lively time of its career. This is only one of theMiumerous programs in which members interpreted the dances and songs of Texas' Latin-American neighbor, Mexico. The highest point of excitement in the year’s work came when delegates journeyed to Austin to attend a National Convention. This participation was financed by a bunco-bridge-domino party, given at the Gunter Hotel on January 15. Rafael Munguia. reporter and prominent member of the Pan-American Student Forum, did much to arouse a spirit of international feeling by interesting the Mexico City football team in coming to San Antonio to play a “Good Will” football game, after which they journeyed to Washington D. C., where another game was played. vliqnon Ocfavia Marie Antoinette Georgette Boegsn?

But the Sophomore Class were not “just fish, but a group of workers unexcelled by any other organization. The election of Emma Jean Parsons and Mignon Bocgcre as president and vice president was the first “bang accomplished of this Sophomore Class. These Sophs knew what they wanted and they went after it with all the spirit and initiative of true Tech students. The senior winners of Tech's annual hall of fame contest were announced at a dance given by the Sophomore Class on Friday, March 20. The jass orchestra, under the direction of Mr Jean Sarli furnished music for the dancers and talented members among the Sophomores provided entertainment. Lawrence Mechler performed as master of ceremonies, introducing Billy Elliot who did a tap dance, and played the accordian. Leon Thompson, well-known singer gave his version of “Lights Out. Ruth Hood entertained with an acrobatic dance. FUERMANN PRESIDENT PFEIFFER 501 MBS Chi Sigma Chi Clu Sigma Chi Fraternity was founded at the New York Military Academy early in 1890.

Chi Sigma Chi members at San Antonio Tech, besides those listed among the charier members, include Mr. Robert Kile and E. J. Grumwald. At the present tune they are completing plans for an old paper and magazine drive to be conducted among the clubs at Tech. The money from the sale of this paper is to be donated to the yearbook. The winning club is to receive a free page in the annual. JORDAN m cm takn GORDEN TREASURER E. Fox Barrtj Little Theater The Little Theatre was founded in 1932'1933 through the interest in broader social experiences of three groups of students: the secretarial, the retail selling, and the garment design and manufacturing departments. Later, other students entered because of the opportunities for building up a unified school personality through creative experiences. The faculty committee is composed of Alba M Lyster, chairman: Boh Kile, Bess H.

Mr. Jean Sarli, this goal was accomplished. A rank of first place with a 94.7 score in the district competition, and second place rating in the state contest were added to their record of winnings. During the fall term 1935 36 the orchestra cooperated with the Red Jackets in presenting a scries of Jitney Matinees. Funds thus obtained were used to buy needed instruments. An ‘Orchestra Tag Day ’ held April 9. provided means to take the orchestra to Fort Worth. Texas, where the State Con test was held. Mr. Jean Sarli. director of the orchestra, was honored by having his own composition. “Le Discontcnto,” chosen as the number to be played by the combined orchestra formed of all schools competing in the State (Contest. More honors were bestowed when Mr. Sarli was chosen to direct this group. Tater'piaijer Si Firkins Caught Future Salespeople Sales Leader Old Timers Rcol Salesmen Sales Club With Alice Driffcl as president, Orctha Dunn, vice president. Joe Guerra, secretary and treasurer, and Gloria Beltran reporter, the Sales Club has accomplished many far-flung goals this year. The chief aim of the salesmanship group is to promote and to sell tickets for all school affairs. It is also the purpose of the club to interest students in salesmanship and to advance each member in his profession. This year every boy member of the club has held a part-time position. Some of the girls arc also working. With their star salesman, Ellen Beltran, as candidate, the club was runner up in the school belle contest. To Gloria Beltran sister of Ellen, goes the honor of having sold more tickets to Tech function that any other student. She has set a school record by her sales. Miss Mamie Yates, sponsor of the club, stated: “This year the Sales Club had aeheivcd one of its long sought for goals We finally got a page in the yearbook.” •.v.v.;. iliili Architectural Drawing It only takes a panorama of the skyline of one of America's great cities flashed upon the screen to convince a person of the beautiful and useful creations of the architect and his draftsmen. He visions the mass, the proportions, and the materials of his project in his mind's eye. His draftsmen interpret the visions and transcribe them to paper. Every example of worthwhile architecture had its origin in a man's, brain and was shaped and finished on the drafting board before being modeled out of steel and stone by the workmen. Thoroughly trained in the art of drafting plans which serve not only as classroom work, but are later put into actual usage in undertakings and building throughout the school. Tech students are equal to experienced workers in their field. It is with the greatest confidence that they embark in the career of life—and by their draftsmanship ability, take life into their hands. There it becomes a plaything, theirs to do with as they will and theirs with which to accomplish what they may. But these dreams are not only visions at Tech: they arc made into realities day by day as the finshed blue prints for the next three floors on the fourth building, the hamburger hut, flower pot grills, fencing to divide the kitchen from the rest of the cafeteria, and all other furnishings in the school, drawn by these students, are handed to the next shop instructor whose class will carry on toward the completion of these projects. Automotive Industry The clattering of tools being dropped on a cement floor; the soft purr of a motor com' plctcly overhauled and tuned to perfection, the buzz of a starter— -these are just ordinary sounds in the lives of the students in the auto shop. Of the hundreds of pieces of metal and other materials that go to make up a car, each must he put in its proper place. The tightening of a loose screw in time may prevent an entire hour's work later on—this fact must be learned before a student may become a good mechanic. Although the automotive industry is a comparatively young one, it is already the see-ond largest industry in the world, second only to the steel industry. Methods and standards of maintainance are constantly being raised and improved, the day of the untrained and inefficient mechanic is past. Every possible point is considered in the teaching of the future automobiles mechanics. Information concerning all of the latest material and facts concerning the parts, oils, lubri' cants, and peculiarities of the latest as well as the older model of cars is included in the course. Classes are conducted so that the instructor may help and advise the students. Actual experience in the use of this information is gained through working on cars brought to the shop to be repaired. Many teachers bring their automobiles to this school for the advanced students to repair. Cabinet Making and Mill Work One can concicvc of nothing more fascinating than creating something both useful and beautiful; homes, furniture, establishments, and buildings are examples of the useful and beautiful creations made by cabinet and null workers at Tech. Every room, every nook and corner of Tech, is the abode of their products. From their mill entrance pours a steady stream of useful, and “dcsignfuP articles concicvcd in the most modern artcraft and glistening with the luster of polished perfection, incorporating visualized dreams of students who little thought to achieve their goal to design, create, and see in actual rise, an article of their own craft. These articles, whose happy home is Tech, arc the desks, all types of school furniture, doors, frames, cabinets of all styles and designs, bookcases, stools, chairs, and many architectural designs used for decoration. Small objects as well as large must be exact in size and detail to insure the perfection of the complete article. In this shop the boys learn to set up, maintain, and operate woodworking machinery; to design, layout, and plan the building of cabinet and mill work, to constuct the articles, and finally to put the proper finish on them. Actual experience and the keeping up with the changes in style and form of design enable the boys to complete their work with the finis that marks its good. This department strives to prepare young men for the many occupations found in the Modern cabinet manufacturing plant, job shop, or planing mill. ' V? 5! Cosmetology Instead of being just a luxury for the avciage young woman, a visit to the beauty parlor has become, in the last few years, a necessity. With this change in the attitude of women toward beauty parlors, has come an increase in the demand for scientifically-trained and thoroughly competent specialists. No longer can a partially-trained operator succeed. The graduates of the cosmetology department at Tech are not skilled in the arts and sciences of the profession, but they have a broad background of general education that will enhance their ability to meet the public in such a manner as to draw and hold their customers. The course otfered includes sterilization, care of nails, hand and arm, hair, scalp, and skin; hair dressing; tinting, cutting, and permanent waving. For the first part of the three-year course in this line of work, the student spends most of her time learning and practicing the art of manicuring finger nails. Later she progresses to finger waving, and finally, to the giving of permanent waves. For a small fee, charged to cover the cost of materials used, students and teachers may have their hair washed and set, their nails manicured, or may receive any other service which the department has to offer. On Monday only, because of the necessity of class discussions and demonstrations, the services of the operators arc not available to the students and teachers who patronize this department. Garment Design and Manufacture The monotonous drone of the machine, the incessant click of the needle as it rises, descends, and rises again, arc familiar sounds in the garment design and manufacturing department of Tech, which prepares young people for employment in the various occupations of this industry. This objective is achieved through courses in costume design, textiles, pattern cutting and grading, operation of machines, and stage art. They are organized according to educational and trade standards. The instruction is done on real jobs. The garment design and textile courses include units on color harmony, type figures, line, the buying of ready-to-wear, designing to meet public demands, creative designs on a types of garments, and draping. The fields in garment design and manufacturing in San Antonio include garment factory, department store, dress design shop, home dressmaker, and theatre workshop. Good machine operators, cutters, finishers, embroidery workers, and designers are usually in demand. The school is equipped with a complete set-up of factory equipment: the single need c machine, the special machines such as the serger, tackcr, button hole machine, feWcr, hm itching, embroidering, and cutting machines. Smocks, shop aprons, coveralls, sport clothes, uniforms, shirts, dresses, children's garments, and costumes for plays are some oi the jobs upon which the girls receive their training. One of the outstanding projects oi the year was the making of Red Jackets for all new members of the club. General Electric Work Picture industrious lads crawling around under the buildings in dirty coveralls, all to the effect that someone in one room may lift a receiver and address someone in another part of the school, and the vision conjure up the features of the boys of the electric shop, who install and keep in working order all house telephones in the school. As the years roll by, the world of culture and convenience enlarges. In fields of human activities, new methods of manufacturing, transportation, merchandising, advertising, and communication spring up forming a great revolutionizing step in a great industry. An analysis of this revolutionary development will find electrically operated machines installed and main tained by persons skilled in the use of tools and versed in a knowledge of electrical phenomena. The aim of Tech's electrical course is to train young men in the basic operations and practices of the electrical industry and in those characteristics essential for success in the various types of work in this industry. During the first two semesters, the student studies the fundamental tool operations and principles of electricity; during the third semester, he studies switchboard devises, motors, generators, and transformers: and during the fourth, fifth, and sixth semesters, he is allowed a choice of several special lines, such as electrical communication, storage batteries, electric light and power operation, electric machinery, and radio. The curriculum in general electrical industries includes drawing, sheet metal, welding, and electric shop practice. abcdefgh, OPORSTi obcdefgh ■ . SiW; Printing Industries The rumble of the press and the sharp sounds of the type-setting machines bring us to—yes, the print shop. The first time you enter this place where the noise makes your head throb and and the ink ruins your clothes, you wonder what anyone wants to be a printer for. The next time you come in, though you kinda like it. And finally you find yourself “hanging around.” Perhaps one of the most fascinating businesses in the world is printing. Besdes printing all of the three San Antonio high school papers, The Jefferson Declaration, The Brackenridge Times, and The Technician, the shop prints a variety of other material, including tickets for school shows, raffle chances, cards campaigning for candidates for school offices, and projects for the P.-T. A. The printing course aims to give the student a fundamental training in hand composition, machine composition, platen and cylinder press work, followed by special training in that branch of the industry in which the student has a particular interest. The course is so planned as to give the student training through work on actual jobs. So great is the demand for printers in San Antonio that many students enrolled in Tech's print shop are taken by the commercial trade before their training has been completed. Newspapers, commercial shops, and publishing houses all offer opportunities. The steps in advancement, from helper to manager and owner, include: apprentice, press feeder, press man journeyman, department foreman, foreman, and superintendent. Radio Bringing near at hand the metropolis' of staid Boston, sophisticated New York, cosmopolitan Pans, aristocratic London, and languid Honolulu, as well as the remote stations of the Asiatic and African continents, the radio shop, one of the divisions of electrical industries, is in constant touch with the world. Such communications are made possible by a ship completely equipped with appratus for transmitting and receiving. Students, after having become versed in the use of tools and having gained a knowledge of electrical phenomena, are permitted to gain actual experience before they enter their chosen fields. During the first two semesters, the student studies the fundamental tool operations and principles, and transformers; and during the fourth, fith, and sixth semesters, he is allowed generators, and transformers; and during the fourth, fifth, and sixth semesters, he is allowed a choice of several specialized lines, such as electrical communication, storage batteries, electric machinery, and radio. Students, well-prepared in the aforementioned fields, have excellent chances for promotion to the higher positions in their lines. Those skilled in electrical machinery may be, in succession, helper, mechanic, winder, installer, operator, superintendent, and finally, operating engineer. Light and power wiring specialists and electric storage battery experts may rise from a position as helper to journeyman, foreman, estimator, and last, owner. Sheet Metal Industry Everything from trash cans to metal shields and kings' crowns have been the projects of the sheet metal shop this year. Twenty-six heavy, durable trash cans with self closing lids were completed by the boys, to be distributed among the schools in the city. A number of the cans were kept at Tech for general use. One of the most important projects of the shop for the year was the manufacturing and installing of a ventilation system above the roof of the print shop in order to abolish poisonous fumes from the metal pots in the shop. Sheet metal is rapidly replacing stone and wood in many branches of architecture. Pressed steel furniture of all types is supplanting wood. The scientific development in the field of alloys has produced beautiful, economic, and serviceable non-corrosive metals; chemists and artists have developed finishes for metals that equal the beautiful natural finishes of expensive woods which have popularized metal furniture and other construction. This field offers many opportunities for employment and promotion. The fields in San Antonio include: garage, airplane, heating, and ventilating, sheet metal shop, blower pipe, boiler and tank building, and ornamental iron. Steps in advancement are: helper, junior journeyman, journeyman, layout man, salesman, manager, superintendent, and owner. The purpose of this training at Tech is to develop reliable, capable workmen in all branches of this industry. The training includes layout, development, cutting, assembling, and installing of all types of sheet metal work. Related Industrial Work In order not merely to train a robot in running a machine but also to train a mind alert to every possibility and full of ideas, subjects related to each trade and industrial shop are in' eluded in the curriculum. Welding, math, science, foundry, and drawing are often found in the required program. Students who wish to take up welding must have completed two years of auto mechanics, machine shop, sheet metal or general electrical work. In the welding shop, stools, certain auto parts, and many projects of other departments, such as the tra:h cans made by the sheet metal shop are welded together. The purpose of the mathematics course is to develop the general ability to reason mathemati' cally and to train the students in skills and habits involved in the solution of the practical mathematical problems arising in connection with each industry. Industrial Science is the study of physics and chemistry as they are related directly to indus-try and to the solution of the practical problems that will confront the individual in the practice of his vocation. The main topics covered in the applied science division are: fundamental measurements, pressures in liquids, pressures in gases, force and motion work, the mechanical equivalent of heat, changes of the state of different industrial materials, heat transmission, heating and venti' lation of buildings, magnetism, electrical machines and theory of electricity, nature and trans-mission of sound, nature and propagation of light. 1 if cPre-Commercial Course One year of pre-commercial work is required for each student in the commercial division. After finishing this preliminary course, he is given a chance to choose the branch of advanced business training which he likes best or to which he is best suited. English, which is the most important part of anyone's education, is particularly stressed during the first year. In this subiect students arc taught the fundamentals of business letter writing, penmanship, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other facts which are essential in the training of a secretary. Another fundamental subject required in many branches of office work is commercial arith-metic. The bookkeeper, and comptometer operator need it, especially, although even the typist should know it. Typing and physical education are also listed on the program of the pre-corn-mercial student as well as one elective and a study period. Through various projects undertaken in this pre-commercial course, the student is brought into contact with practically every phase of advanced business training. For this reason he is able to choose wisely the higher branch which he prefers. Each day, telephone calls and letters come to the instructor in charge of this division offering positions to students trained in the various fields. In every case, where the pupil has had time to complete his three-year course, he has made good. Bookkeeping and Accounting Ip. the hope of preparing well-trained bookkeepers and accountants who will fit into the future commercial world, the instructor assists the students in acquiring the knowledge essential for a good position in a modern office. Accounting, which cannot he separated from bookkeeping, comprises a body of legal, industrial, commercial, and financial principles. The latter is the mechanical procedure of recording financial transactions. The advanced bookkeepers and accountants assist in the ncccessary keeping of records for various school projects. Under the supervision of the school bookkeeper, several students spend the entire afternoon working on the school books. Instead of one person working on all of the books all of the time, the work is divided among the group. One student may use the adding machine to find the totals which the next student will record. Actual experience is obtained also by the student who is the official bookkeeper of the school paper, The Technician. All of the books connected with the finances of this paper are in his charge, and he is directly responsible to the school bookkeeper. Besides the subjects directly related to bookkeeping and accounting, such as commercial arithmetic, law, and machine practice, other courses which will help them to secure and retain their positions, such as English, history, and civics, are taught. General Business Training Due to the increased demand in San Antonio for persons who have a general business train ing, this course is now available at Tech. It includes the basic Subjects of the five depart ments in the commercial division—namely, secretarial training, bookkeeping and accounting, retail selling, jounralism, and advertising. It dwells briefly on each subject, yet allows sufficient time for the student to acquire the knowledge needed in that line to attain a position in the business field. This course is very beneficial as it makes an all-around business person, one who is very useful and one who may be depended on in a business office. Having once gotten a foothold in a firm, he may so perfectly fit himself into the business office that he will become an absolute necessity to that firm. Acquiring a general knowledge of business rather than a specific one, the students gain a variety of skills. They mustl learn to meet the public in person and on the telephone, to file correctly, to keep records, to type accurately, to transcribe and compose letters, to use the Comptometer, and to have a general knowledge of accounting. Besides such training, basic information on the executive duties of an office is given including the hiring and firing of personnel, and office managing. Later, a student who wishes to specilue, may do so by attending night school where various advanced business coures are offered. Journalism An attractive feature of the journalism field is the opportunity it offers for diversified employment and promotion. Facing death to get a story for the newspaper which employs you as a war correspondent and getting the important news before the other papers secure it, arc only two of the exciting experiences that a journalist may have. It is said to be one of the most fascinating cogs in the commercial wheel of industry. This work includes all phases of newspaper, commercial, and fiction writing. Besides the actual writing of the news or feature stories, there is a great deal of technical work to be learned. The editing of copy, writing of headlines, reading of proof, and the actual makeup of the paper or magazine, each, in its own way, forms a profession. From these various branches of the newspaper work, the advanced student must choose that which is best suited to him. In the preparation of the student for the branches of newspaper and magazine work, the publishing of the school paper and annual oiicrs much actual experience. Each student has a chance to practice every type of work connected with the publication. Typing plays a prominent part in the journalism course. Each student is required to take this subject in his prc'commercial year so that later on, as well as while he is in school, he may turn in his copy already typed, and therefore, very readable. Retail Selling Secretarial Training An efficient secretary may find employment in practically any business whether it is one of the smallest machine shops or the largest office building in the city. The aim of the secretarial training department at Tech is to equip efficient secretaries who are able to take dictation, transcribe notes rapidly and accurately, to keep records and files incidental to this correspondence, and not only to take care of the ordinary details in daily routine, but also to exercise initiative in the meeting of new situations in an office. In addition to expertness in these lines, a secretary must possess a pleasing personality with a marked ability to meet the public cheerfully and tactfully. After one year of pre'commercial preparation and another year of regular secretarial training the students, during the last two semesters, serve as secretaries to the teachers for three periods each week. Here they are trained in taking dictation, in typing outlines and in at' tcuding to office reports on each assignment. Each student reports to the teacher to whom he has been assigned for instructions and completes the job to the satisfaction of his “boss. The members of these classes who are assigned to the main office operate the PBX switchboard for the various buildings, assist in keeping office records, and perform general secretarial du-ties. Through these outlets the students are actually getting experience in office duties. Confident of having a complete knowledge in their line they are thus enabled to let their school training be just another stepping stone bridging the great River of Life upon whose banks starts a long, smooth road, winding and curving High School Art Visitors who enter the cafeteria exclaim with delight over the gay and colorful Spanish designs which adorn the pillars, posts, and walls, and which create a pleasing atmosphere in the room. The painting of these pillars was only one of the many undertakings of the high school art classes this year. All of the cartoons used in The Technician, student newspaper, were original ideas of stu-dents in these art classes. The ideas were carried out in linoleum cuts, which were used as cartoons in the paper. Handkerchiefs with pictures of Red Jackets on them were made to sell and to be used as prizes. Elaborate Christmas cards, invitations, and place cards for the various school activities are made by the students of art. Any pupil interested in art may enroll in these classes. Here he is taught to enjoy the bcauti' ful as well as to learn the essentials for practical work. The art and drawing courses follow the regular outline for high school work. A project now under way is the making of postcards with centennial themes. The painting of textiles and wooden blocks are two other projects undertaken by these classes. The blocks are multi-colored and of many designs, many of them of the modernistic type. Posters advertising coming events in Tech, are made by these students. Some of the lovely posters made were for the Sophomore dance, the Junior pop-corn ball sale, the jitney matinees, and the Junior Class raffle. Home Economics Every household activity from dishwasher to guest of honor is included in the routine of the home economics, homcmfiking, cooking, and sewing classes. It is assumed that every girl is a potential homemaker. Even though she may follow a professional career, she will still have to perform the functions of a homemaker. This course prepares girls in the knowledge and skills essential to the efficient operation of home and family life. Excellent training is given in nutrition and health, social relationships, budgeting, and home-nursing. In homemaking, the girls are taught a variety of things differing widely, yet all essential in the life of a homemaker. How to make railroad reservations, how to buy a trousseau in good taste, appropriate color schemes, correct clothes for different occasions, and the art of buying food for the family are taught. Students are also instructed as to the proper care of children, including the proper food, clothing, and other problems. Cooking classes not only prepare regular meals but also plan the menus for these meals. From the time the menu is planned to the last moment when the dishes are replaced on the shelves, the girls assume all responsibilities. Practically all homemakers consider sewing as one of their arts: therefore sewing is taught at Tech. The girls learn to use commercial patterns and to sew on regular sewing machines. This high school sewing course is planned so that it will be useful to girls in later life. Such garments as dresses, skirts, and blouses are made. Languages Being transported from the intriguing depths of the latest of smart novels to the romance of old Spanish traditions is a common occurancc in the life of a Tech student who goes from a class in Modern Novel to one in Spanish. The purpose of the English course is to teach the student to write correct English, to develop the habit of reading trade and professional journals, and to teach the student to enjoy current literature of a social, economic, and political nature. Prac ically all modern business trans-actions are carried on and are recorded in written English: it is therefore essential that the student be able to write his thoughts clearly and concisely in the English language. The course content is so designed that the student is given three semesters' work in the fundamentals and habit forming skills. During the other three terms, the student may select the ones he desires from the following courses: American Literature, English Literature, Public Speaking, Modern Novel, and Practical Letter Writing. Spanish is the only foreign language taught in Tech. It is offered primarily because of its value to the industrial, commercial, and social life of San Antonio. The course not only in-eludes the traditional content, but also emphasizes spoken and written Spanish for practical everyday usage. Only such technical grammar is taught as is necessary for this purpose. The direct method of learning to speak by speaking is used. Library Training Whether it is a murder mystery that is wanted, or a romance, the Tech library has it. Regard' less of what type of literature the student body wants, they are, if possible, supplied with it. The library staff strives to arouse in the student an interest in reading for pleasure and also for classroom purposes. To accomplish this aim the faculty has cooperated to the extent of assigning outside reading and study that will compel the students to take advantage of the many books and magazines available to them. The English Department has prepared various lists of fiction and nonfiction books, short stories, and magazine articles from which the student may make his selection. In the history department assignments requiring the pupils to read and report on various topics of news of the day are made. Papers from which these items may be selected are kept on file in the library at all times. The other departments in the school have cooperated equally as well in various ways. Besides supplying literature to the students the librarians train them in the work connected with the running of the library and the upkeep of the books. Every period of the day several of the students who take library training may be seen going from shelf to shelf, straightening the files and returning books to their assigned position. Others may be seen throughout the day standing behind the desk checking out books to industrious pupils. Science Students who register for chemistry, physics, or physiology at Tech arc not merely looking for an easy course in which to get a credit, for they realize that the Science course offered in this school will help them to become better craftsmen in whatever work they undertake. In fact the catalogue lists the subject as “related science for in each class the relation of this subject to the trade of the student is emphasized. Although good health is essential to life, thousands of men and women know comparatively nothing about the human body and its functions. Generation after generation has been told to avoid poison. They know it will kill them, but they do not know why. Physiology helps the student to form correct habits and to recognize the foods necessary for the building and main taining of a strong body. Millions of tiny particles dash madly against each other, particles so small that they cannot be seen under even the most powerful microscope, particles that are moving in even the most solid article—atoms. How can it be proven that such things as atoms exist? The answer is, physics. Why iodine makes a potato turn a dark purple, why a diamond is harder than glass—these facts and mdiny more are taught to the students who take chemistry. Not just dry textbook facts are used to stress the points to be learned by the student, but actual experience is obtained through experiments conducted by the students themselves. Social Science It has been said by many people that the mistakes of the past arc the lessons of the future. But before one may profit by these mistakes, he must know about them. The social science department endeavors to present these facts in a concise and interesting manner. The first records that have been found telling of the existence of the cave man and the latest bit of historical news—the advancement of civilization and man throughout the ages to the present moment—the glory of the ancient greeks—the high civilization of the Romans and Egyptians, civilization developed by them only to be lost with the invasions of the barbarians —the beginnings of the great nations of today, their trials of peace and war—and then, the discovery and development of the new world—all of these are taught to the students of history, civics, economics, and sociology. Besides the events that made the history of the past what it is, those that are taking place now, and those that arc making the history of the future are being studied in the various classes. Students must keep up with each current event that is of public interest. Since each student is required to study the Constitution of the United States before he graduates, several weeks are spent on this subject, both in the history and the civics classes. Sight-seeing visitors journeying into Universal City to see coming movies in production, anticipate watching famous actors, actresses, and directors on location. Visitors inspecting the various departments of Tech's movieland, likewise look forward to visiting the speech arts department, where actors and directors are developed from inexperienced “extras' and “stage hands. Divided into two sections, dramatics and public speaking, the speech arts department develops some of the most sought-after stars of Tech. Dramatics classes study the various phases of acting such as pantomine, the art of dialect, good diction, and the technique of effective stage position. They also learn costuming, make-up, stage management, and property management. As a class project, during the spring semester, the dramatics students read and study plays selecting “high lights or outstanding moments which are directed and produced by various groups of the class. In studying dialect, characteristic sketches are given before the class, and the student thereby gains experience in acting and diction as well as in dialect. To give each student an equal chance in the annual declamation contest, all are allowed to participate. Out of every class, the two best declaimers are chosen. This boy and girl then compete against students chosen from other classes and finally, against the pupils from other schools in the city. frrtr ?_______ Pootb dll m _ Bafer ff ; r WF B ' a?rjw« � � ■ 3 ii 6ood The Crisis H O M E • U U N Physical Education for Girls The three major activities of the physical education depart' rnent arc baseball, volleyball, and basketball. Only three are on the list because there is not space or equipment for others. Each class i . divided into teams for each sport. The number of teams in each class is determined by the number of students enrolled. Many times the number of teams is too great for the space so that some arc forced to be spectators. However, the instructors feel that this is better than moh” participation. With these teams competitive games arc held within each class. When possible the best teams out of the various classes arc matched against each other. Due to the fact that most girls insist on wearing high-heeled shoes to school it is necessary that each girl be required to wear tennis shoes in Physical Education claw. The department cannot be responsible for the accidents which woulj occur il the girls were allowed to wear street shoes on the courts. When possible, as a part of the class work, skill practices and skill tests are given.

Physical Education for Boys Physical education is an essential part of education for it includes the motor activity of the body It is not education of the physical but education through the physical. It is a very common and familiar view to think of power and strenght developed through physical activity as an end. At Tech it i-considered only a means toward an end. 1 he ultimate aim i to educate, through the physical education program, for a more wholesome living, for happiness, and for worthy citizenship. To achieve this end the school offers and promotes in its physical education program, activities that will give normal growth, and physical and organic development so that the body may throw off disease and meet other physical require ments. Character trait- such a dependability, courage, initiative, alertness, self'sacrifice, loyalty, cooperation, the spirit of fair play, determination, honesty, truthfulness, control of emo tunis under trying conditions, courtesy, and high social and moral standards, are all developed in a program. 6 ackfifcl t er Thais a V ou , Bobbtj £ Cerv+er bn 2 Plunge OffenS© iiii Arm Guard Guard a Pd S ef! Reciev’iru Pass Football Tech should he fairly proud of her football team of the past season, even though it won no championship. The record for games won and lost showed that it had the most successful team Tech has had since the school took on the name of Tech. Out of ten games played, Tech won six and lost four, for a percentage of .600. The lettcrmcn for the season were: Almon Billings; James Blackburn, a tackle counted on strongly for the coming year, but who transfered to a Houston High School: Harry Danccy, another tackle who was forced to quit school; Mack Davenport; Candelario dc la Garza; Nino Delgado; Eddie Hans; Franklin Haller; Prank Lopez: Eddie Morales: Frank O'Donnell: Lewis Reding, co-captain: Ted Stahl; Thomas Stephens; and Milton Tope. Of these lettcrmcn, only five will be back for next year. However, the “B” team produced a number of boys who will fill in the vacant positions perfectly. The team will be lighter than the past one, but it will more than offset this handicap by being speedier and trickier, thus possessing qualities which were sorely lacking in the 1935 team. Liob+n’ing M rhncc Block Tactic Track Track took on a “new life ' this year, and, although seemingly not outstanding on paper, was, from the view' point of the coach and the participants, highly successful. For-ty'two hoys came out for this activity which was the largest number to appear since Tech opened its doors four years ago. The boys were forced to work and to train under the most severe handicap they lacked a track upon which to run. However, no excuses are offered for losses because the boys gave a good account of themelves, and when they did lose, the winners were forced to admit that they had been in a real race. Of the forty'Somc'odd boys who participated, ten earned their track letters. They are Robert Thompson, high jumper: Oscar Thuem, broad jumper: Robert Mersinger, Vincent Flo-res, Carlyle Crowe, Edward Pollock and Albert Trappe, all dash and relay men: Adolph Nelson and Cecil Carson, hurd lers; and Mack Davenport, weight man. These boys, starting with little or no experience, continued to improve until now they are recognized among track circles as being among the best in the city in their respective events. If 'tf Bun4 CaFchcr Pitcher P lie her 'TsW 'r Second Ba 2 Lt 4 - Baxter Fir t C n+ Ri ht Field Baseball The defense of the baseball championship won by Tech in the Spring of 1935 has fallen upon the shoulders of’ the youngest team ever to represent Tech in baseball. Only three lettermen are listed as members of the 1936 baseball squad. These lettermen are Bobby Schomann, senior outfielder; and J. C. Remling and Philip Valdemar, junior pitchers. Although young, the team has unusual ability and a wonderful spirit. Having only one senior member, the baseball future of Tech appears extremely bright. The pitching staff personnel of J. C. Rending, Philip Val-demar, Eddie Hans, and Roy Leudcrs is one of proven strength. The catchers, Marcus Carrolla, sophomore, and his understudy, Luvine Elias, junior, are young but capable. The infield consist of Tommy Rock, sophomore; Frankie O'Donnell, junior; Nino Delgado, sophomore; and Rudy Pe-che, junior. Ted Stahl, senior, is a capable utility infielder. The outfield is patrolled by Herman Dresch, junior; Bobby Schomann, senior; and Armando Casta non, junior, with Rowland Michel, junior, as utility outfielder. rounds Third Baseman Hi hPomb Man Getting Instructions Basketball With the closing of the 19J6 basketball season, the head coach, Mr. Earle H. English, was proud to announce eight lettermen and two All-City Team members. The lcttennen are .in follows: Mack Davenport, Candelano dc la Garza. Arden Lawrence, Rowland Michel. Kenneth Rothe, Johnny Salas, Juan Santos, and Rafael Villareal. The two who made the All-City Team arc Captain Rowland Michel and Mack Davenport. Row land Michel is the first member of the San Antonio Tech team to hold the position of Captain of an All-City Team. One of the most outstanding facts about the games played by this years' team is that they were all cither won or lost by a difference of about one or two points. Brackenridge and Lamer were the most fortunate in this respect, winning their games by an average of two points, and making those marks only in the closing minutes of the fray. Jefferson was no puzzle for the Buffs who took their measure in all three games, this being a new accomplishment in the annals of the history of Tech. The boys played to win but, win or lose, thcy played like real Techmen, clean. dYT b Champ V------------------ Hanson fai|lor Tennis The girls tennis team came hack from the city tournament with heads “bloody but unbowed.' They put up a good battle against teams which had the advantage of adequate practice time, space, and facilities. The members of the team who worked hard and long are Marie Martinez, Geneva Gitchcll, Clara Ng, Elsa Martinez, and Marian Giano. The girls on the team and their coach wish to take this opportunity to thank Lois Campbell, junior siatc champion, for her tmerest and a islance during the season. In an elimination tournament in the boys tennis “ladder, Jack Williams came out winner with Sterling Harwell second. After a hard'fought battle against the Brackenridgc boy, he was eliminated in the first round in the city tennis league. Those boys who were in the Tech elimination tournament were: Robert Brabson, Charles Stevens, Sterling Harwell, Leo Galindo, Harvey Frye, Be Ivin Evans, Fernando Dempsey, Joe Bazaldua, and Jack Williams.
