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
