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

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
