We particularly wish to emphasize Victory through Vocations: the great amount of work that is being done in our school, which so well exemplifies the preparation for victory. The symbol we have chosen to convey this theme is the familiar “V” for Victory and its morse code equivalent. --You will find this symbol on the cover and throughout the book itself. It is our earnest desire that wherever you see V. . . _ _ in this volume, you will think of that for which it stands—the victory that is already ours. Page 2 To our loyal friend Mr. L. W.

HISTORY On September 25, 1939, the Sophomore Class, under the guidance of Mr. Planto and Mrs. Gossett as sponsors, launched their careers. The following officers were elected: Mary Durncll, president (she later resigned): Bobby White, vice-president: Audrey La Nier, secretary: Mary Ruth McCoy, treasurer; Garth Parsons, sergeant-at-arms; and Ruth Knight, reporter. The outstanding event of the year was the Sophomore picnic held at Brackenridge Park, May 13, 1940. In the fall of 1940 the Junior Class, after having learned to burn the mid-night oil, started the year with the following officers: Mary Ruth McCoy, president: Garth Parsons, vice-president; Audrey La Nier, secretary; Ruth Moxlley, treasurer; and Ruth Knight, reporter. The highlights of the junior year were: The Hollowe'en Barn Dance, the Sweetheart's Jamboree, and the Junior-Senior Prom. The Junior assembly closed the activities for this year. Cautiously, the class of '42 entered into its senior year. The officers for the last stages of the journey through high school were: Garth Parsons, president: Mary Ruth McCoy, vice-president; Audrey La Nier, secretary; and Ruth Knight, treasurer. Unfortunately Audrey La Nier and Ruth Knight left us at the mid-term. Joyce Sanderson and Nell Kohlenberg, respectively, assumed their duties. As with every other Senior class, there was much to do, both work and play, among which the following activitcs are worthy of mention: The Senior Play, Kid Day, The Senior Day, Luncheon and Theatre Party, Senior Prom, Baccalaureate Services and Graduation Exercises. Reminiscing, we realize that certain individuals should be commended for their work and their loyalty and cooperation. Albert Hillmeyer is an excellent example of the desire to develop the school in the field of radio; Audrey La Nier, Ruth Knight, and Mary Ruth McCoy, being efficient officers since the class has been in existence, have gained prominence elsewhere in the school. Since the R.O.T.C. is one of the most prominent organizations, we wish to commend Donod Smith and Leroy Cobb for having executed their positions as Lieutenant—Colonels efficiently. George Schroeders distinguished himself in the Glee Club by winning several medals. The Red Jackets were fortunate in having attractive Fauntell Cook as their president. Johnny Gavlick, President of the Student Council, earned for himself, besides a reputation as a cooperative presiding officer, many friends. Leonard Hipp-chcn continued to maintain the excellent standing that the Technician holds and has always held. Jimmy Dukes and Uriel Gonzales will be remembered for their outstanding athletic feats. There arc many others who are deserving of compliments; but space docs not permit our mentioning each one individually. In conclusion we wish to thank Mr. Planto and Mrs. Gossett for their sympathetic understanding and splendid cooperation. We hope that the members of this graduating class will live up to the unsurpassed examples set by them.

You've been mighty patient with us each day; We know out in life, your lessons will pay. To Mr. Fox and Mr. Fling we give our thanks. You're swell to overlook our many pranks. And Mrs. Gossett and Mr. Planto we offer praise For guiding us through our Senior days. Mr. Lane has been our guiding hand: There's not a better dean in all the land; Unless, perhaps it's Mrs. DcPue, Severe and stern, yet kind and true. You've all been good and treated us swell, You've taught us our lessons and taught us well. We've had our fun in club and class— We only wish that it could last. But as we take our places in office and shops. We'll think of Tech and say it's tops. Now to the Juniors, the class of forty-three, We leave to you this little plea: Keep on trying, even when the way is dim. Beat Jefferson at Football, keep trying for a gym. Inspire school spirit, be a Techman true. Keep on with the Annual, we started it for you. Have fun in your clubs, and work with a will— These things we ask when our shoes you fill. To go from school life into life's school. And now as we leave and follow the rule. We utter the Parting Words of the class of forty-two— Goodbye, Tech, we'll always be thinking of you.

DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION CLASSES The Distributive Education Program at Tech, the first and largest in Texas, dates back to Septcnv bcr, 1937, when it was organized by Mrs. Bess H. Stratton, then the Teacher-Coordinator. In 1938-39 Mr. Clarkson Groos became the Related Subjects teacher and Mrs. Stratton, the Coordinator. This was due to the growth of the program. This year there have been between fifty and sixty Distributive Education Students. D. E. Students come to school a half day and work half day. They also work all day on Satur-days and during the summer. They get high school credit, as well as a salary, for their work! Even though they are busy people with both a job and high school courses to keep up with, they still find time to play and to take part in other school activities. Let it be said that the growth of the D. E. Program at Tech School is largely due to its ambitious students. Their ambitions are rewarded with good, full-time jobs immediately upon graduation from Tech. Page SI Row I—Dorothy Hale, Bonnie Mae Shook, Darlene Wheeler, Pat Reitzer, Mrs. S.

ART CLUB The schedule of the Art Club of San Antonio Vocational and Technical School includes one speaker and one sketching trip each month. Noted artists who have honored the club are: Mr. Charles Rosen, Miss Clair Durer, Miss Eleanor Onderdonk, Count Von Schonefeldt, Mrs. Chester Slimp, Mrs. Harvey Stiles, Mrs. J. Beachy, Mrs. Jewel Jennings and others to whom the club feels deeply grateful. School colors, in the form of stickers and pennants, are designed and sold by the Art Club. Glamorous Color Day has become an annual event when all Tech students wear the school colors of red and white. The Art Club presents the assembly which is a “Parade of Red and White”, including the uniformed Band, Sponsors, Red Jackets and climaxed with Art Club girls in magnificent costumes made of the school colors—pompons, pennants and balloons. The Art Club Seal, designed by Tony Arias, appears as a lithograph on club stationery, as a red and white block print on book covers, as tooled leather on the Secretary’s Book, and as a large carving mounted for a decoration. The Annual Red and White Ball, a Marionette Show, and two beautifully decorated boats for the river pageants provided other worth while activities. A studio at San Jose Mission was decorated and maintained for several years. Trips have been made to the Museum, Borglum Studio and to other interesting exhibitions. Good fellowship and far reaching interest in art has been developed through membership in the Art Club. The club is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Robert Free, Miss Edna Lyster and Mr. Jack W. McGuire. Page 55 ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING Officers of the Club are: Robert Whitworth, Reporter-Parliamentarian; Garland Threadgill, Vice-President; Bob Forres, President; Charles Penaloza, Secretary-Treasurer; Isidore Martinez, Sergeant-at-Arms. ARCHITECTURAL CLUB The Architectural Club was organized by the department in 1932 for the purpose of creating good fellowship among the students and to encourage interest in outside architectural progress, chiefly through field trips to watch construction of business buildings, homes, etc. Field trips are also taken to material plants and manufacturing concerns in this locality to learn how building materials are prepared for the job. Field trips usually take half a day. At lunch time we stop off at some park and have a wiener roast with all the trimmings. At some of the club meetings we have prominent business men of the architectural profession and building trades lecture to us. The information we receive from these lectures is beneficial to the club members in their study of architecture. Each year the club affairs are climaxed with an inter-club sketching contest followed by the annual banquet at which time local architects award prizes for the sketches turned in by the club members. Boys who did not have their pictures made: Mario Gonzalez and Raymond Scholz.

The motto of the club is “Our dreams of today are realizations of tomorrow. ' Our creed is that there is no nobler career than being a homemaker in its fullest meaning. Talks by persons of interest, picture shows on home subjects, and social activities round out a full program. Area and state meetings are attended by groups, and an opportunity to get acquainted with and receive inspiration from other girls of the state is invigorating. Each year a state Rally is held in some large city in Texas. In 1938 and 1941 the meetings were held in San Antonio. It was our pleasure to assist in making the convention a happy and worth-while meeting for many hundreds of girls. The club meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month and cordially invites all girls interested in being Future Homemakers to join our organization.

GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves of Tech High School is only one of hundreds of such clubs throughout the country. Junior members of the YWCA enjoy a world wide fellowship of women and girls from nearly fifty different countries. The symbol which all Girl Reseves in the United States have in common is the blue triangle within the circle. Inside the triangle are the letters G. R. The triangle represents the three sides of a girl’s life—the mental, the physical, and the spiritual. The circle represents the world in which she lives. As she strives to face life squarely and to find and give the best her triangle and circle expand like her growing life. The Tech club this year has had two doughnut sales to raise money to send next year's president to an inspirational leaders conference. In addition they have had several picnics and parties both by themselves and in cooperation with the High Y. Page 63 Row I—Robert Staewen, Gerard Gutierrez, Louis Bernal (Vice Pres.), Mr. J. A.

HI'Y CLUB For three years the Tech Hi'Y has maintained the ideals of the Christian Fellowship, training its members to dedicate themselves and demonstrate the tradition of democracy. Under their leaders, Mr. J. A. Mahoney, Sponsor; Donald Smith, President: Louis Bernal, Vice President; and Jesse Hill, Secretary, the members have been taught to take part in, and help better their com' munity. But learning is not the only reason the club was formed. Sports, outings, picture shows, talks, dancing, and social service are also on their calendar. In October, Donald Smith and Louis Bernal jour' neyed to Houston to attend the annual Hi'Y Officers Training Camp where they gathered information con' cerning ways to enlarge the membership and of keeping interest in the club through enjoyable programs. The proceeds of the Jamboree sponsored by the club was used to send delegates to the Annual Older Boys’ Conference in Corpus Christi on March 6, 7, and 8. While attending the convention the boys listen' ed to many interesting speakers and obtained much in' formation concerning Hi'Y activities. A sight-seeing trip was given and the delegates visited the naval base and other points of interest. The members attending the conference included Charles Frandolig, Rudy Cas' tenuela, Robert Lord, Leonard Tallas, Donald Smith, Louis Bernal, and Leroy Cobb. On March 10 Mr. George B. Corwin, National Hi'Y Secretary, gave an interesting talk on “How the Hi'Y can Help Democracy.” In April, as is their usual custom, the Hi Y present' ed the annual Easter Assembly with Donald Smith as Master of Ceremonies, Reverend Samuel Capers of the Christ Episcopal Church and Reverend Samuel Terry of the Madison Square Methodist Church were the guest speakers for the event. On April 15, new officers were elected for the following year and in their hands we leave the response bilities of developing Christian ideals and of carrying out the traditions of democracy.

Q'ke technician iHorial Staff Down at The Technician Editorial Office things are always humming. Between clatter of typewriters and busy stu dents compiling the school news publications, shouts of “Scoop, “Swing that lead, “Check that dummy and other journalistic phrases ring through Room 115. The main purpose of The Technician, sponsored by Mrs. Carolyn Mercer, is to supply the students with the latest and most accurate news in and around school in the most inter esting manner. The students of Journalism write and edit the news, and the Advertising class balances the budget by ap plying their classwork to actual contact with downtown merchants and selling them ad space. The Art Staff, with Mr. J. W. McGuire in charge, puts the artistic touches to the paper, and the students of Tech’s Print Shop at the direction of Mr. Beeman Franklin and Mr. W. E. Fulton set the type, make up the pages and print the bi weekly publi cation. Besides publishing the school newspaper, Technician Staff members back all worthy school activities and select a special problem each year for its own project. This year. The Tech nician with the Red Jackets is sponsoring the Waste Paper Collection Campaign for National Defense which ends when Tech closes its doors for the summer. Learning to write, handle finances, photography and art work of the newspaper world is the job of the Technician Editorial Staff pictured here.
