THE TECHNICIAN •194? — FOR THIS WE SERVE Private Bill Tech stands proudly giving the best in service to his country. Already his medals and citations are many as proof of his value to the armed and civilian forces. One of his awards is for the pre-induction courses of mathematics, science. ROTC and shops from officers who arc finding Tech trained students more acclimated, more skilled and more adaptable than others to the rigors of war life. A second medal is for his generous contribution to the manpower pool by way of streamlined courses. The commercial and occupations departments, the trade and industrial shops are turning out workers drilled in war time needs to keep the civilian machinery at peak production. Important to him is a citation for devotion to duty for his cheerful contribution of a jeep or two, a tank or two and thousands of shells in the form of 150,000 pounds of scrap metal collected last fall. And likewise a similar citation is his for the Pearl Harbor Month sales of $8,000 in war stamps and bonds. But his most cherished medal is for the boys he is furnishing to the armed forces. Private Tech can't wear a star for each of them scattered over the world. He would be spangled with 400 or more and would be constantly star showered each day as more of his boys and girls too- join the fighting forces of the United States. But it .is for them and particularly for Arthur Seerig, Paul Richter, Ruben Cardenas, Paul Vistuba, Arthur Lopez and Harry Johnson, who died that such institutions as Tech may continue, that he stands eager to shed “sweat, blood and tears to help bring unconditional surrender of the enemies, and to insure the Four Freedoms in the world with peace and happiness for his vast family. _ Page 1 THE TECHNICIAN • 1943 In these five school officials is the authority of administration of Tech School.

SENIOR BATTALION Hail to the class of '43; They're ready for life's spree! As Fish’ the class organised under the leadership of Mrs. Marie E. Gahan and Mr. Clarkson Groos (now Lt. in the U. S. Navy). The outstanding activity of the year was the sophomore picnic held at Woodlawn Park in May, 1942. Frances Marrs was elected president of the class; Joyce Bankston, vice-president; Diana Reid, secretary; Mamie Meneses, treasurer; and Alice Biemer, parliamentarian. The ‘Mistletoe Prom and the Junior-Senior Prom highlighted the Junior activities of the year. At the last part of the Junior year the sponsors. Mrs. Gahan and Mr. Groos resigned their positions as class sponors as Mr. Groos joined the Navy and Mrs. Gahan had too many other activities. Very willing to take over the responsibility of class sponsors were Miss Dorothy Rehn and Mr. Guy Tune. The following Junior class officers w-cre elected: Margaret Sargent, president; Carl Haffner, vice-president: Delores Boldt, secretary; Mamie Meneses, treasurer; and Alex Habeeb, parliamentarian. The full effect of the war was felt by this class, now Seniors of '43. when Fred Warren was called in the Air Corps. He was named honorary president of the Senior Class and Kurt Wertheim succeeded as president of the class. Other officers of the year were Jane Huddleston, vice-president; Mary Joyce Stewart, secretary; Mamie Meneses, treasurer: Jack Slaughter, sergeant-at-arms; and Marie Wills, reporter. The biggest laugh of the year was caused by the annual Kid Day. Everything from lollypops to little red wagons were seen through 'ole Tech's halls. Other activities of the Senior year were the Senior play, “Reserve Two For Murder, which nearly bumped off every member in the play on April 28— the Junior-Senior prom held at the Bonner’s Studio on May 7—the Senior Class Day Assembly held on May 19, followed by the luncheon and theatre party the Senior Prom held at the Elks Club, May 21 the Sunday Baccalaureate service held May 23 and the final graduation service May 24 in the Municipal Auditorium.

To us Seniors this is a year That will long he remembered. Not so much for its gay festivities. But because of its being less gay. For as I scan this Senior section, 1 see a multitude of vacancies. And for each vacancy A sober remaining face. Ours are sober faces Because now we fully realize This paradoxical warring yet peace-loving world That wc are soon to be a part of. Wc can well face this future Confident of ourselves And of our classmates. Here at Tech we have grown into men and women Learning to differentiate Between right and wrong. Here wc have gained Long and lasting friendships, Learned the worth of knowledge And how to use it advantageously. It is not easy to say goodby To acquaintances as old as you. And to many gay and good times. But now as wc look back over our stay at Tech We can laugh at things like Lost locker keys, Overdue library books. Flunking chemistry tests, And even an occasional trip to the office. Which seemed at the time nothing less Than a catastrophe But in reality only went To complete a well rounded High school career. Now it is up to us. Wc go out into the world To make names for ourselves That wc may more firmly establish A peaceful posterity. But we will always remember Tech As a guiding light That will never fail To bring back our fondest memories. —Ellenor Coffman H X m H m n X z n z o •t . Communique To Juniors As the day of departure nears fot the graduating class of 194a, each and everyone is financially embarrassed because of graduation rings, annuals and clothes Nevertheless, they would like to leave a little somethin’ behind, so— Kurt Wcrtheim wills his car, “Congress, to Jackie Baldauf, hoping that Jackie may soon learn the technique of driving such a car. Melba Jean Thomas wills her golden voice to all future Red Jacket Belles. Rudy Rizzo wills his football uniform to M. C. Sullivan. Diana Reid wills her attractive smile to Helen Dorris. Velma Grimes wills her stenographic skills to Mrs. Williams’ Shorthand I class. Dorothy Ott wills her dramatic ability to Delores Boldt. Delores is that famous person who became famous for her performance in The Letter, we betcha! Mary Ann Anderson wills her “boots to Betty Neyrey to wear in Room 200 only. Raymond Ramos leaves his desk in Commercial Art to Dorothy Schaefer. Margaret Swiedom wills her personality to the new Red Jacket President. Lona Parsons wills her curls to Margie Maddox, to wear at parade reviews on rainy Tuesday mornings. Carl Zenner wills his Kid Day get-up to all next year's “kids.” Jane Huddleston gladly wills her books, especially physiology, to Jean Botto, Fernando Calo-oy wills his artistic ability to Betty Bankston. Beatrice Spengler wills her place in the Cosmetology Department to Sammie Jean York. Mildred Mollcnkopf wills her personality to Corrine McCoy. Tamara Scott wills her black hair and dark eyes to Patsy Handey. Patrick Fox and John Karcher will their ability for getting out of homework to Leo Romano and William Henneke. Ruth Salinas wills her quiet ways and her polite manner to Patsy Sue Morgan. Billy Nyman wills his “way with the women” to Homer Escamilla. Ira Moss and Sylvan Siegal will their good grades to Edwin West and William Wissmann. Fred Barnett wills his bashfulness to Leonard Black. Alex Habeeb wills his loud voice to George Rogers. Frances Marrs and Margaret Driffill will their tiny sizes to Kathryn Henderson and Maryn Jeff Haley. Dorothy Garner wills her pretty hair to Dorothy Ford. Virginia Stanfield wills her mathematical headaches to the future Managing Editor of The Technician. Marilyn Brandon wills her appetite to Jeanne Mead. Beverly Martin and Lora King Harwell will their business skills to Jewel Davis and Peggy Lee Krueger. Edith Scharlack wills her noted sincerity and sunny smile to Melba Taylor. Max Smith wills his stunted growth, puny figure and lack of muscles to Sammy Rodriquez. All the rest of the Seniors will the “hot seat” in the office to anyone who wants it—the Seniors certainly do not want it any longer. Page 21 'k —■ Jr ' Our Forces Ten Years Hence 55 Dear Tech, May 19, 1933 2 Recently I went on a tour around the country, visiting the different occupational places and sites of QJ interest, and came across many old Tech students who had graduated 10 years ago. Those Tech students H were a grand hunch, and did their best in wiping UJ out the Nazis, Japs, and all the other menaces to our X democracy and freedom. Many of these hoys, and H girls, too, are now men and women still in the uniform of the United States. Edgar Wittlif, now a sergeant, has a tough time handling buck privates. They always manage to do • exactly what he tells them not to do. On the eastern coast I saw Fernando Calo-oy showing Roger Muniz how to scrub the deck of a ship. Charles West has come out of the Marines and is experimenting with his chemistry in hopes of making a bomb to send to Japan as an added present. Seen roaming back from the war are those old war veterans, Max Smith, Dee Casler, Orion Bartlett, Manfred Hoenow, and Frank Reinhardt, limping, moaning, and in rags. Joseph Jetton, all in a daze, still thinks the war is on. At the San Fernando Cathedral I saw Marie Grace Patino, marching down the wedding aisle. May June Hinojosa is still struggling, trying to get her college entrance credits to the University of Texas. At the Olmos Club I discovered three popular girls who had gone to Tech. They arc Margaret Anne Hornsby, Margaret Driffill and Margaret Swiedom. They all looked very cute, especially in their cigarette girl costumes. In west Texas Ervin McBride has a large ranch, and would enjoy it if he would not get into so many accidents. Every time he rides a wild bronco, he is thrown for several feet and gets laid up in the hospital for weeks. Consuelo Adame, the “Florence Nightingale of the 20th century is saving young men from dying of old age. While visiting a machine shop I met Gilbert Cadcna. He has a wonderful skill with tools. He can take anything apart (period). Molly Zoeller, that gorgeous brunette from San Antonio, has just won a national beauty contest. Sarah Schelcher is the typical housekeeper, and has the solution of how to get rid of salesmen for good. Whenever any come to her door, she always manages to sell them something. Gloria Wise has finally reached the position of being secretary to the mayor of San Antonio. As usual, she can t figure out her shorthand. Ralph Hernandez, that versatile genius, says that he has discovered what the fourth dimension is, and is making wads of money from publicity, but as yet, he hasn't announced what it is. Patricia Uhl is sewing evening gowns for a vocation, but is not doing so well. She makes each dress so pretty that she hates to part with it, and so keeps it for herself. Margaret Sargent is becoming an excellent cook nowadays. She has ten different can openers in her kitchen. Fred Warren has postponed his medical profession for a political career. It won't be long now until he will be running for the presidency of the United States. Edith Scharlack has finally completed a course in typing, and is looking for a good job. She ignores the fact that she can only type 10 words a minute with at least three mistakes. Marie Wills is the Beatrice Fairfax of the San Antonio Light newspaper, and can solve anyone's love problem as long as there isn't love involved. Paul Tarrodaychik is San Antonio's best radio man. He is so good in fact, that after he gets through at KMAC, he hurries over to KONO to change the transcription records. Mamie Meneses is now running Joske's store through her natural ability to get things done. Mary Louise Abdo now has an important position bookkeeping for Uncle Sam. The only trouble, she says, is that she doesn’t have enough fingers and toes to add up her arithmetical figures. Melvin Uecker is the best football quarterback in Texas. He says he learned all about football from his sports columns. Dorothy Dullnig is now in Phil Spitalny’s orchestra. Every time she plays a wrong note on the clarinet, Phil Spitalny asks her who her high school music teacher was.

JUNIOR BATTALION The present Junior Class, sponsored by Mrs. Beatrice Letch and Mrs. Payton Kennedy, was organ' ized the second term of 1941-42 with Sam Pantuso, president: Billy Jack Cartwright, first vice-president; Ruben Castro, second vice-president; Lena Granato, third vice-president; Helen Gardner, secretary; Beverly Poland, corresponding secretary; Ruth Ahrens, assistant secretary; Beverly Vradenberg, treasurer; Janie Martinez, parliamentarian; Jack Asher, sergeant-at-arms. This year, the class of 44 with Mrs. Letch and Mrs. Kennedy as sponsors still headed for a higher goal. The class officers were Billy Jack Cartwright, president; Jewel Davis, vice-president; Ruth Ahrens, secretary; Helen Gardner, assistant secretary; Ruben Castro, treasurer; Peggy Lee Krueger, assistant treasurer; Margaret Wright, parliamentarian; Edward Bates, sergeant-at-arms. On Oct. 30, the Juniors held their annual Halloween barn dance in the cafeteria when dancing and fortune telling by Frances Marrs were the features and refreshments were sold from a special soda counter. Costumes of blue jeans, and other “barny” attires were the fashion. The Juniors’ big event socially was the annual Junior-Senior Prom May 7 at the Bonner Studios. The class officers, dance chairman, sponsors of the class, together with Mr. L. W. Fox, director of Vocational Education; Principal George L. Fling, Mrs. Juanita De Pue, dean of girls, and Mr. Frank Cunningham, dean of boys, received the guests. The entertainment was formal. The Class of '44 intends to be an outstanding one a class long remembered for its contributions and achievements. So— “One for the money. Two for the show, Three to make ready, Watch '44 go.

Top row, Edwin West, president: Gloria Frazer, secretary: Katherine Ott. vice-president; Wanda Kurth, treasurer; Esther Flores, reporter; Constance Callis, parliamentarian; Sidney Isdale, sergeant-at-arms, and Mrs. Alleen Scott, Sponsor. SOPHOMORE BATTALION On September 8, 1942, the Sophomores first entered the clammering halls of Tech and after a hard, disappointing day of closed classes and many hours of wandering through halls, they went home tired and weary. Many weeks and months have rolled by and the Sophs now have grown to be regular Techites. Soon after Christmas, the Sophomores had their first class meeting. The ballots were collected and the results were found to have elected Edwin West, president; Katherine Ott, vice-president; Gloria Frazer, secretary; Wanda Kurth, treasurer; Sidney Isdale, sergeant-at-arms, and Constance Callis, parliamentarian. Mrs. Alleen Scott, the sponsor of the class, took over the first meeting, introduced the president and got the class business started. During the meeting Edwin appointed a committee of five to care for the annual event held by each Sophomore Class. They were Katherine Ott, chairman; Corinne McCoy, Homer Jackson, Betty Karcher and Leo Romano. The picnic was held at Woodlawn Park on April ?0 where dancing in the recreation hall, tennis, basketball and all kinds of games formed the entertainment. At the second meeting on April 21, Edwin named a recreation committee of Joe Martinez, George Hill, Norman Summers and Homer Jackson and a dance committee of Margaret Thomas, chairman; Lorraine File, Annie Madrid and Gilda Rizzo. Now that the year is over and the Sophs have learned their way around Tech, they are looking forward to becoming “smart Juniors. Page 24 TRAINING FOR SERVICE EDWARD J.

Shops.,. Cogs Of A War Training Station We are a working school. Our lathes sing out, welding torches scatter sparks and our dit-dot radio codes buzz 24 hours a day as a complete cycle, five days a week is completed in the shops of San Antonio Tech. When the boys and girls of Tech finish a day's work, it is taken up by the war training adults of this area. Tech's shops sleep over the week-ends only, and then fitfully, for they are aware of the tremendously important task they have in training the army behind the army. ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING—Mr. Raymon Alsup, instructor, Archie Young, Leopold Garcia, foremen. “Behind the military and naval campaigns, you will find the engineers and architects working hand in hand, stated Mr. Alsup, “enough reason for the importance of the shop to the war effort. All phases of housing problems, concentrated now on Army camps and fields, yet including the vast civilian housing projects which will spring up after the war, arc studied. Map reading is another study of the course. AU10 MECHANICS—Mr. Guy Tune, instructor; Gilbert Cndena, foreman. Learning the why’s and wherefore's of auto repairing, the boys of this shop are preparing to be ground crew members who will keep 'em rolling. For the civilian world they are learning how to make cars last for the duration. COMMERCIAL ART—Mr. J. W. McGuire, instructor. This deparment teaches advertising and art that pertains to the commercial art field and particularly to that phase of war propaganda through posters and advertisements. All school announcements and activities are made known by posters designed and made by the students and contests for war bond posters. Red Cross, Easter Seals and other nationwide sales projects are entered. Recently the department veered even closer to the war by including a map drafting course. COSMETOLOGY—Miss Lydia Huntley, instructor; Janie Castillo, shop assistant. Knowing that good grooming is essential to women in war as in peace, the girls of this shop are learning the convenient, easy-to-keep hair styles women now demand. Fore-sightedly, the shop has enough supplies for sometime, but the girls are learning how to conserve and in some instances how to substitute if a shortage should be encountered. Individually they are contributing to the war by regular purchases of war stamps and bonds. • ELECTRIC SHOP—Mr. Ray H. Perry, instructor; James Fischer, foreman. Getting first-hand experience working on government projects are the boys in this shop. Their latest jobs are for the Texas State Department, but one of their important federal jobs was the wiring of machines for the visual coincidence tests for airplane pilots. Page 26 + ------------- ” ffl n I z hH n o 4� . Arthur Garcia and Albert Baladez of the Refrigeration Shop are making the necessary repairs to an electric motor. Garment Manufacturing girls in this picture are Iris Garcia, Elinda Garcia and Juanita Salazar. The Welding Shop at work, this time Charles Herrera and Berry English demonstrate gas welding. ENGINEERING DRAFTING—Mr. James E. Hill, instructor; Billy Bevcns, Billy Nyman, foremen. Aimed at turning out draftsmen for the government, this shop includes in its course of study the making of duplicates of special government tracings, plus civilian work such as plotting out school jobs. They bought equipment which could not be secured by the school board with the money from the scrap metal drive. FUNDAMENTAL ELECTRIC AND RADIO SHOPS—Mr. Hugh Brunnemann, instructor. The fundamentals of electricity are taught in this shop in the morning with emphasis on the use of tools. Dit-dot-dot flows out of the windows of the Radio Shop in the afternoon as the boys learn code, primary requisite of the Signal Corps members of the Arms. In addition to learning the code and how to decode, the boys are taught to repair radios. GARMENT MANUFACTURING—Mrs. Mary Rosell, instructor. A record production of 2,000 garments since September, ranging from children's wear to men's wear for the Red Cross, British War Relief, Jewish Welfare Council, Protestant Orphanage and school organizations is that of the members of this department. An essential war industry. Garment Manufacturing is desperately needed to keep the armed forces clothed and supplied. The girls of the shop are taught to operate single and double needle machines and are taught patternmaking and designing. Students are eagerly employed by the war industries, dress shops and alteration departments of the city. HOMEMAKING (COOKING)—Miss Dorothy Racey, instructor. More so than in other shops, the homemakers have realized how deeply the home has been altered by the war, for their problems revolve around rationed sugar, meat, fats, canned goods, 48 points per person, enough calories and proper vitamins to keep the families at peak efficiency. Planning menus with all this in mind and at the same time keeping an eye on the budget, coupled with preparing cheap cuts of meats and low-point foods high in nutritious value have been their projects. CLOTHING—Mrs. Marie Fondren, instructor. The conservation of materials and garments on hand is the prime importance of these girls who are learning that old dresses regarded as rags may now be centers of attraction if remodeled properly. The art of putting new material with old or freshening up frocks with lace, etc., is explained and taught the girls. Uppermost has been the teaching of proper care in cleaning, pressing and repairing garments. One of their projects has been the patching of 300 quilts for Civilian Defense units. MILL SHOP—Mr. Joe Planto, instructor. Up to their necks in Civilian Defense work are the 44 members of the shop turning out stretchers, operating tables and medicine cabinets. Their output numbers close to 500 items made and a thousand and one other jobs. In addition the shop, which includes a girl, has constructed desks, bookcases, typewriter desks and loud speaker boxes for the school and endless repair jobs performed daily. Waiting for them on graduation are jobs with the government or in the civilian world. Page 27 ; 'k k - rk . :•+ Z'k Dec Casler of the Machine Shop is shown at one of the many power machines. Eugene Cadena and Richard McNee are on the production line of the Mill Shop. Finishing his latest war poster is George Campbell of the Commercial Art Department. MACHINE SHOP—Mr. A1 T. Dwenger. instructor; Eugene Bielefeld, foreman. Learning to operate power machines, make small tools and do precision machine work is the job of the Machine Shop boys. This readies them for war work on the civilian and fighting fronts. Their Tech work includes many maintenance jobs. PRINT SHOP—Mr. Berman Franklin, printing instructor; Mr. W. E. Fulton, press instructor; Lewis Kelley, general foreman; Bernard Reyes, make-up foreman. Top production shop is the Print Shop which turns out countless jobs, including the printing of The Technician, assembly programs, office forms, letter heads, diplomas, political tags, signs and posters. Their largest project is the printing of this 52-page Senior Edition. PIPING TRADES—Mr. Walter F. Zettner, instructor; Ralph Evans, foreman. These boys arc experts in turning out refrigerator units and other projects out of scrap and salvaged material. Their biggest project has been the making of water coolers for the War Industries Training Schools of San Antonio, Houston and Dallas at the request of the State Vocational Department. What time is left is spent by the boys in turning out knives out of old files for the fighting men. RETAIL SELLING—Miss Mamie Yates, instructor. In pre-war times this course stressed salesmanship aimed to make the public buy. but in this year's streamlined Retail Selling, the process of salesmanship has evolved in keeping the public from buying unnecessary things. Important studies of plastics, dyes and synthetic materials are made to give the future salesmen informative background so essential to successful business people. Research work in these fields is carried on by the classes. SHEET METAL—Mr. C. P. Williams, instructor. Tearing down the fuselages of airplanes and putting them together again is the favorite shop pastime (work) of the Sheet Metal boys as they train themselves to become experienced aircraft fuselage workers. They are getting the “feel of the task already and are rarin’ to become ground crews for the Air Corps of the nation. Numberless jobs for the school including covers for coolers are made in the shop. VOCATIONAL DRESSMAKING — Miss Edna Lyster, instructor; Marguerite Dukes, foreman. Learning to sew and extending that knowledge to garments for the Red Cross is the problem of these shop girls. In addition to making children's and girl’s dresses, frocks for themselves and men's shirts, the girls sew duck covers for stretchers and darn and hem damaged blankets for Civilian Defense. WELDING—Mr. C. C. White, instructor: Franklin Reinhardt, Tony Hogan, foremen. Aircraft welding heads the course in this shop with all the details of this industry worked out so the boys can easily- fit into a government war project on graduation. In addition all other types of welding are taught and many jobs of welding for Tech and for the San Antonio School District arc done. Left to right: Mrs. Bess H. Stratton, coordinator of the Distributive Education program; Earl McSwain, Lois Moore and Miss Anne Hughston, teacher-coordinator. Left to right: Maryn Jeff Haley; Mr. Kelley, coordinator of the Diversified Occupation program, and Arthur Scholz, Jr. DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION AND WAR-TIME EMPLOYMENT Distributive Education students this year are serving a two-fold purpose. First, they are receiving supervised training in one of the largest of business enterprises—distribution. By working halt-day downtown in approved training stations they are having true working experiences, co-ordinated with D. E. in related subjects. Their first purpose as a D. E. student is to fit themselves for immediate full-time employment in the distributive field upon completion of the course. Second, they prove themselves of immeasurable help in relieving the present man-power shortage in the distributive occupations. Two part-time students can replace a full-time employee whose wide experience is more valuable in war industries. Frequently one student alone fills the place of a person who was a full-time employee. The D. E. students are part of a program which has expanded rapidly since its organization in September, 1937, under the supervision of Mrs. Bess H. Stratton, co-ordinator. Miss Anne Hughston, formerly of Sears, Roebuck if Company, has been teacher-co-ordinator since September, 1942. DIVERSIFIED OCCUPATIONS Of the 32 students in the Diversified Occupations program this year all but two are in industries essential to war or in the armed services at present. Even the co-ordinator for the past three years, Mr. Harry Kelley is a lieutenant in the Army Air Corps, entering in April and being replaced as co-.ordinator by Mr. C. W. Peavey. Such occupations as machinists, auto mechanics, auto electrics, electricians, printers, radio service, radio operators, dairy work, newspaper advertising and photography are represented in the department which places its students in trades and industries half of the work day. The average salary for one half day's work the past year was $15 per week, an indication that Tech-trained students are well paid. In fact 14 paid income taxes on March 15. TYPING AND STENOGRAPHY The Commercial Department of Tech has geared itself in every possible way to meet the demands of an all-out efficient war program. The world-wide war is as much a battle against time as anything else. Knowing the value of saving time, the Commercial Department has attempted to achieve more skillful work, thereby saving time in having work done more rapidly and at the same time more accurately. Not only has it tried to sharpen the skills and attain higher standards as one contribution toward the war effort, but also it has kept abreast of the changed needs of the business world and of government activities in which its students are going. Current bibliographies sent out by the publishing companies on recent books which have been written from the aspect of production for war-time needs have been checked, and the most valuable publication has been ordered for use by the students. The shorthand classes have lists of the most commonly used Army and Navy terms, which are studied and with which the student becomes familiar in order to be better qualified to take dictation in the event of going into a government job. All of the various forms used by different governmental organizations are reviewed to acquaint the students with their existence. The Commercial Department has on its staff, Mrs. Beatrice Letch, Mrs. Payton Kennedy, Mrs. Sue Williams, Mrs. Olive Dean, Mrs. Eva Yates, Mrs. Marie Gahan and Mrs. Marguerite Everett. Their program has one end in view—producing typists, stenographers and clerks who will help win the war. MACHINE CALCULATION, BOOKKEEPING The word heard in Rooms 132 and 134 more often than even roll call is accuracy. Mrs. Marie E. Gahan, instructor in Machine Calculation and Bookkeeping and Mrs. Marguerite Everett, Bookkeeping instructor, stress accuracy every second of the day. In addition to training their students to take over jobs in the financial departments of San Antonio business firms, the teachers have added actual government type work.

Staff Officers and Auxiliaries Definitely the closest organization at Tech to the military phase of this war is the Reserve Officer Training Corps which engages in a thorough basic training of army ground troops. The program this year includes the study of Organization of the Infantry, Military Courtesy, Customs of the Service and Discipline, Military Sanitation and First Aid, Drill and Command, Physical Training, Rifle and Rifle Marksmanship, Map Reading, Technique of Rifle Fire, Scouting and Patrolling, Interior Guard Duty, Manner, Combat Training, Automatic, Rifle Squad and other training aimed to toughen up the future United States soldiers and thus cut down on their regular army training period. Extended order drill has been an innovation introduced by the present commandant, Sgt. Garland Banks. Under the commandancy of Sgt. Russell Walker the past fall, members of the ROTC Drill Team with full field packs on their backs went on a 20-mile hike to work out a problem of scouting and patrolling under actual maneuver conditions. Tech's first regiment has undergone many changes this year as more and more members withdrew from school to join one of the arms of the United States. Edgar Willman relinquished his colonelcy to join the Marines while Henry James and Arthur Ramierez, former Lt. Cols., and Leonard Tallas, former Major, resigned to join the Army and many more from the ranks have gone into actual service. Gene Cross took over as Colonel, Edgar Wittlif and Steve Barrera as Lieutenant Colonels. The history of the Sponsors this year really began after the Military Ball, Nov. 20, when Margaret Anne Hornsby was announced as Colonel, with Margaret Driffill and Lillie Mae Sulaica as Lieutenant Colonels. From September up until this event, all Senior Sponsors had been learning how to give commands and the Juniors how to take them. At the beginning of the second term, for the first time in Tech Sponsor history, classes met at zero period with Miss Dorothy Delemater, the director, to take instructions from a standard WAAC Manual. Military Organization, Courtesy, Customs of the Service, Sanitation and First Aid were some of the subjects studied. Although the Sponsors voted down being called Junior WAA-C's, they adopted the military hand salute in lieu of the Sponsor salute. With all this studying, the group found time to perfect small details of drill as shown in their execution of the column movement, using obliques instead of carelessly swinging the line around. Their drilling has been displayed in parade reviews at Tech, in the WAAC Parade, at the Pilgrimage to the Alamo and on Field Night. The Sponsors also served as ushers at the General Krueger Bond Rally and at various school assemblies. On Easter Sunday they represented Tech at the sunrise service and a number of the girls have served as downtown store junior fashion models. Despite the tough new course, the Sponsors found time to play on Friday mornings which was physical training period with each of them indulging in tennis, table tennis, badminton, or baseball. Of particular note was their scholastic attainment at Tech this year, 14 out of 19 Seniors being initiated into the National Honor Society. Page 3-1 Pictured left to right; 1.
