E. student Martha Santos shows a piece of jewelry to customer Josephine Ancira while Nancy Martinez helps Lydia Ponce select a skirt. SERVICE IS THEIR WATCHWORD Distributive Education — one of the most beneficial training programs at Tech. The student has a chance not only to learn the “tricks” of a trade but to learn his regular high school courses. The D. E. student is paid in two ways — he learns a business from the ground up, and he receives a definite salary. The starting wage is approximately the same per hour as that of any beginning employee entering that occupation. After graduation, the student usually receives full-time employment and works for a higher salary. Theory is as important as practice. Gloria Maldonado, Oralia de la Vega, Carrie Ozuna, Ted Gonzalez, Josephine Ancira, Lillian de Alva, Nancy Martinez, Dennis Herrera, George Marrin, and Lydia Ponce do heavy homework. Films are of great value in D. E. Norma Browning shows the 'Kind of Shoes the Customers Like to Jean Kelly, Lucinda Alcocer, Irene Sanchez, Elia Herrera. Alice Valadez, Mary Jane Sanchez, Christina Garcia, Angelina Plata, and Sylvia Vela. PAGE 25 Every woman loves a beauty shop. Carmen Muro sets Dora Huante’s hair while Helen Falcon gives Dahlia Arzola a manicure. BEAUTY IS THEIR BUSINESS The Tech Cosmetology Shop is run like a regular beauty shop. Money made from serving patrons is used to buy necessary supplies. After graduation, girls need only pass a State Board examination in order to start their own shop. Beauty is the business of these future cosmetologists. While beginners have theory classes and learn the complicated art of giving facials and manicures, the more advanced students work on such jobs as eye-brow tints and scalp treatments. Proms call for special hair styles so Elizabeth de la Cruz. Josie Sotero, and Blanch Reyes give Elvira de Santiago, Theresa Ramirez, and Viola Huante a new look '. In this age of permanent waving Mary Ruth Flores, under the direction of instructor Mrs. Flynt, demonstrates to Jane Rodriguez, Mary Villarreal, and Patricia Ann Rivera the proper preparations before a permanent is given. PAGE 26 Cosmetologists Barbara Conatser and Mary Lillie Mendiola give Josie Luna a permanent wave. Advanced manicurists Henrietta Castellanos, Angie Rodriguez, and Anna Marie Sanchez give Maria Rangel, Theresa Gomez, and Blanca Rivera their manicures. Good grooming is the most important requirement for beautiful hair. Irene Romero shampoos Mary Lou Jacob’s hair. PAGE 27 Hair styles change with the fashion trends. Celia Lopez styles Irene Villanueva's hair in keeping with the latest trend. COMMERCIAL ft ARTISTS Ji WIN AWARDS ] $ The students in Tech's Commercial Art department undertake many projects during the year. One of their specialties is poster painting. These posters dominate Tech halls, advertising the coming dances, plays, and sport events. The artists have won awards for fire prevention and safety posters entered in local and national contests. —® I j MHiCltiiinf t. p nn‘kuiQl C Sfj f n 9ub . Artists Jesse Solos. Angie Apolinor. Pete Gonzales. Frank Hinoioso. and Henry Lopez put finishing touches to advertising pane|s for the v , c C|ub and ,he Tech Little Theatre. This year the Commercial Art Department designed and constructed the giant birthday cake in the Main Hall for the Silver Anniversary Reunion. At Christmas, holiday greetings were sent to other schools in the city. Every year the Tech Artists enter paintings in the City's River Art Show held on the banks of the San Antonio River. Usually they come home with top honors. Cartoonist Jesse Garcia displays one of his favorite characters. Putting the finishing touches to o Tech Little Theotre poster, Artists Gloria Ortiz, Victor Aguilar, Aureliano Martinez, and Joe Limas does his bit for publicity. Beatrice Ortiz ice Tech s giant birthday coke. Students Eliseo Mendoza, Robert Rios, Ronnie Rocha, and Sylvia Castanon, prepare posters for a local organization. The Christmas Clearing Bureau receives the talented aid of Augustine de Leon and Eulogio Zamarripa. PAGE 29 TECH PRINTERS KEEP Techites get their Christmas cards printed by Raul Salas, Oliver Garza, Gilbert Flores, Louis Martinez, and Johnny Arreguin. Tech s Print Shop students are “putting out while “taking in. At the time that they are putting out the school newspaper, they are taking in valuable experience which will enable them to enter the printing trade with the assurance that they are prepared. Setting the type, feeding the press, cutting stock, and distributing type to the various cases in the shop are some of the duties performed by these students day by day. These boys print choice slips, failing notices, pass slips, absentee pads, the student directory, and a weekly V.I.C. newspaper, “The Tradesman . Type setting is one of the tasks that Print Shop students Raymond Najera, Allen Goodlow, Frank Guajardo, Gilbert Flores, Roger Botello, Eddie Paine, and David Mendoza must master. The Tech Little Theatre tickets and programs are fed to the platen press by Rudy Avelar, Rudy Ramos, David Sanchez, and Raymond Najera. PRESSES ROLLING Tech's Print Shop takes care of the printing needs of many other schools. Richard Aguirre, Rudy Carrizales, Carlos Martinez, Rudy Garza, and Edward Vasquez make up pages for a junior school yearbook. Besides undertaking outside jobs for different organizations, schools, and clubs, they have such projects as printing bids for the different proms, dances, and plays held by the various classes and clubs. They also print bids for other schools. These boys enter contests in district and state V.I.C. conventions. They have won from first place ribbons to honorable mention. Printing machinery must be kept in good condition. Instructor Robert Walker and Mario Menchaca change tympan on a cylinder press. One of the reasons for this is, perhaps, that this is the best equipped print shop in San Antonio. Machines such as the Kluge, the vertical, the horizontal (the largest in the school shops), and three linotypes are used. They take their trade so seriously that they actually have a time clock. This is one of many good working habits practiced by Tech's Print Shop. Techites enjoy the football programs for which Armando Elizondo, Gilbert Galvan, and Ralph De Leon set type. CABINET MILL BOYS Mill Shop boys Albert Gonzales, Tony Rios, and Fred Gonzales build flats for the Tech Little Theatre. The boys in Cabinet Mill Shop learn all the tricks of the trade under the guidance of Mr. Frederick. In the three year course a student learns to operate and maintain all the machinery used in this line of work. The beginning students are usually placed on quantity production work. Advanced students work on individual jobs. Students Johnny Nieto and Raymond Ortiz are in Passing lumber through planes, Charles Walker and Robert the process of facing boards for drawing tables. Castillo prepare to build a tabaret. DO IT THEMSELVES For use in the English department Robert Schrader, Andrew Hernandez, and '.ank Garcia sand a dictionary stand. This year the Cabinet Mill Shop is making drawing tables and boards for two new San Antonio high schools. For our own school, the boys made shock absorbers for the Welding Shop. For all schools these students keep desks and chairs in top condition. An ambitious apprentice in this occupation may advance to the position of foreman or superintendent. Better yet, he may go into business for himself. Many of the products of the Mill Shop are for sole. Edward Hernandez varnishes a tabaret for a faculty member. Facing is expertly put on a lathe by Ira Wade while another lathe is set by James Greenwell. Student Joe Mireles polishes a mandrel while machinists Jesse Lujan, Robert Sau-cedo, Robert Flores, and Ira Wade make Idler shafts. MACHINISTS SPECIALIZE PAGE 34 If you hear strange sounds from the Machine Shop, don’t worry. The roof’s not caving in; it’s just our future machinists at work. Of course, before they can build and repair, they must learn the basic precision tools as well as the delicate care of such tools. These students begin by making chain links and go on to manufacturing the more difficult items. Machinists Edward Morales and Joe Tamez unlock the automatic on a screw pack. Boys check carefully as Mr. Humphrey gives answers to test on identification of tools. IN PRECISION TOOLS Machinist Louis Martinez makes a bottom vice plati on a shaper. Not only do Machine Shop boys do much of the maintenance work for Tech and other schools but they also take on With a dividing head and a drill press Raul Ramirez makes division: smaller jobs for parents and teachers. on a tire rim Securing positions for the adept young men who wish to enter industry is an easy task for they are well-qualified to meet the demands of their trade. Making V blocks to be used to hold round stocks, Mike Sanchez uses a milling machine. PAGE 35 TECH WELDERS CO MODERN Our Tech Welding Shop is one of the most modernly equipped high school shops in the city. Here, after learning the basic principles, students are permitted to work on gas welding, flame cutting, and hardening. Then these torch bearers really get down to work. Among other things, the welders work on barbecue pits and clothes line poles. The students not only make porch columns and hand rails they also sell many of these items to outsiders. The proceeds of such sales enabled the Welders VIC to attend a state meeting in Fort Worth this spring. Foreman Albert Knight demonstrates cutting techniques to Jacob Galindo and Peter Martinez. PAGE 36 Among the latest projects these boys are attempting are wrought iron furniture and swivel top T.V. tables. Morning shop students practice oxy-acetylene welding. Working in the tool room, Robert Maldonado cleans tips while Carlos Ortiz paints silhouettes on tool board. Chris Bazaldua demonstrates fillet weld to Robert Maldonado. While Mike Cedillo works on pipe roller, Chris Bazaldua and Henry Reyna make final adjustments on heating torch manufactured in our Welding Shop. PAGE 37 Giving instructions on how to use on electric test stand to Richard Armendia and Eddie Jaime, Mr. Tune uses practical demonstration. Members of the Tech Auto Shop have more than 1,000 tools with which to work. These tools are of the best. The main job occupying the students’ attention this year was the overhauling of an engine from a car. Another job was the task of lowering the rears of cars or raking them in the front. Mechanic Louis Morales tests an electrical part with a Sun testing machine. IT'S A TREAT In charge of the tool room, Richard Armendia and Eric Barrera check tools. TO BE A CAR Odd jobs are also done in Auto Shop. Free of charge, a student may have mufflers installed on his car. To prove that the boys are good mechanics, they have had the pleasure of serving the Tech Moms and Dads. Mechanics Marvin Borth and Arthur Luevano place a fan belt on an engine. These mechanics extend to all Tech-ites an invitation to take advantage of their skills and talents. Auto Shop students view slides on the differentials. Foreman Harry Poe shows Freddie Blum and John Nichols how to place a gasket on the carburetor. NIMBLE FINGERS ‘V Under the supervision of Mrs. Rosell, the Garment Manufacturing Shop is run like a regular factory. Here the girls learn to use the same machinery used in manufacturing plants. These girls produce the aprons for all the shop students at Tech as well as the Red Jacket weskits and sponsor and majorette uniforms. Among the many jobs undertaken this year were the individual items exhibited at the local fair held at Lanier High School. The Christmas project of making rag dolls keeps Antonia Alcorta busy, while Mary Helen Cortez and Marie Reyes put finishing touches on their corduroy skirts. A Christmas gift finished and ready to be sold is Elodia Aguilera's aim. Putting hem on dress is Josie del Valle while working on Christmas table cloth as a project are Mary Castillo and Eva Olivares. Individual projects Such as faille dusters, corduroy skirts and dresses seem to be enjoyed by Beverly Harper, Doris Grady, Priscilla Sanchez, Mary Acuna, Helen Valdez, and Grace Green. PAGE 40 SEW FOR TECH The techniques of dressmaking which are learned here are valuable not only for the future but also for the present. These girls make many of their own clothes. An example of this are the Easter dresses the girls make for themselves and that all important graduation dress every senior girl looks forward to designing, sewing, and wearing. Future dressmakers are Antonia Ramon, Janie Montelongo, Mary Amaro, Irma Sandoval, Celia Gonzalez, Alice Suarez, Mary Sanchez, Elvira Corona, and Cecilia Gonzalez. Students Josie Esquivel, Josie Perez, and Margaret Luna work on their individual problems. Seamstresses Benita Bustos and Candy Escobar work busily on their own dresses. PAGE 41 ELECTRICIANS DO Electricians Frank Valdez and Thomas Charo work on a commutator for 110-Volt Universal Motor. Tech’s Electric Course trains young men in the operation and practices of electricity and prepares them for a future in the electrical field by teaching the basic fundamentals used in the business world of tomorrow. To make a soldering iron, Rudy Moreno uses a lathe to bore a hole in the handle. These boys do small jobs for the school, and in shop they work on various gadgets such as toasters, buzzers, and electric magnets. While Edward Chapa and Trinidad Diaz work on an AC motor, Alfonso de la Paz and Benny Hernandez use soldering iron. PAGE 42 JOBS FOR SCHOOL These students also fix our fans, lamps, and flashlights. The course offers excellent preliminary training for any earnest, ambitious boy who has the ability and desire to make this trade his livelihood. Shop students work on different projects: Ernest Aguirre, on a fan motor; joe Remling, on soldering iron; and Michael Cantu, on threading pipe. Electricians do many jobs. Here Gilbert Oviedo, Tony de Leon, Albert Garza, Gilbert Garza, Moses Guerrero, and Daniel Medina do everything from threading pipe to fixing an iron. The manufacture, distribution, installation, and servicing of electrical appliances offer a large field of employment for these students. While Robert Peters rewinds a motor, Stanley Hubbard tests a motor and James Hoyer repairs a hand sender. PAGE 43 ELECTRICIANS STUDY RADIO WAVES A student who enters Radio I begins by building a crystal set, which is a simple type of radio. From this he learns to follow different kinds of circuits. Student electricians Richard Ollervidez, Felipe Rodriguez, Rudy Fernandez, and Tommy Martinez test tin can motors. Disassembling a radio and then reassembling it is easier if there is a diagram to follow. For more advanced students, there are jobs of fixing electrical devices and building amplifiers. Identification board must be carefully studied as proved by George Pampa and Carlos De La O. Electric students Josephus Echols, Rudy Fernandez, and Hector Gonzales test telephone circuits. PAGE 44 Foreman Johnny Cervantes supervises Ted Amaro and Robert Ayala as they rewire work bench. In order to create better and newer electrical devices, there is a need for skilled electricians. That is the reason for Tech's Electric I Shop. In this shop the students learn to build alarm switches that are used in almost any store. An unusual electric pencil can be made by any student who finishes the first semester. To meet the differing needs of electrical devices, Tech organized these courses in electricity. Radio I student Gilbert Taboada works on an amplifier. Morning radio students work on individual projects. While Ralph Villarreal works on department system, Ruben Santana and Tony Garcia work on telephone circuits. PAGE 45 STUDENTS PREPARE FOR BUSINESS Machine Calculation I students operate the comptometer. Tech’s Commercial Department, one of the finest and best-equipped in San Antonio, trains students for commercial occupations and introduces them to the business world. Because of the many fields Office Practice II students Rudy Grubbs Ovalle work on a ditto machine. Sending out hundreds of invitations to ex-Techites for the Silver Anniversary Reunion, Mercy Ramirez, Margaret Reyes, and Elsa Trevino fold and stamp. PAGE 46 and Paul it covers — typing, bookkeeping, steno, machine calculation, office practice, and Students in Office Practice learn the correct position of typing as demonstrated by Consuelo Lopez, Olga Rodriguez, and Eudelia Rodriguez. retail selling — students find there is much to learn to qualify as job-holders. Commercial students also serve Tech while earning their grades. Office Practice members, who are in class for two hours, mimeograph bulletins, programs, letters and notices for teachers and students. This year these efficient girls sent While Mary Lou Zuniga, Nelda Flores, and Mary Suarez work on bookkeeping machines, Adelina Villarreal and Beatrice Prado work the automatic calculators. out over 3,000 Silver Anniversary Reunion invitations to ex-Techites. Employers everywhere know the high quality that characterizes the students of our Commercial Department. For this reason an ambitious worker has no difficulty in securing a position after graduation. Tech's prize bookkeepers — Esperanza Trevino, Margaret Garza, Frank Jacob, Genevieve Sanchez, and Marie Rivera — receive from Mrs. Everett the Plaque they won in an International Bookkeeping Contest sponsored by the Business Teacher. PAGE 47 RADIOMEN VOICES Tech’s Radio Shop is a shop with 2,000 satisfied customers — Tech's faculty and student body — who bring their radios and television sets in to be serviced. Shop students Jesse Rodriguez, Manuel Sierra, and Gilbert Lopez complete the installation of a new picture tube in the TV receiver. The Tech Dadio Shop is the first step toward a future in electronics, America’s fastest growing industry today. Students who take this course learn electricity as applied to radio and electronics, basis circuits, and radio repairing and operating procedures. While Willie Muniz works on a power supply, Ruben Rodriguez and Leo Salas repair a record player. Joe Cordova and Joel Zavala drill a radio chassis. Radio students Louis Martinez, Johnny Rodriguez, and Eloy Sifuentes operate station W5GJD. PAGE 48 ACT AS OF TECH Training in the public address operation can be had on the P.A. Squad, which operates the P.A. equipment at assemblies, dances, and other school programs. If a Completing the installation of a new T.V. picture tube are Walter Martinez, Antonio Gonzales, Manuel Ruiz, and Juan Hernandez. student passes the amateur operator's license examination, he may operate Tech's 1,000 watt amateur station — W5GJD. Technicians Maury Huey, Henry Guevara, Albert Monsivais. and Robert Van Brandt check circuit and voltage on radio receiver. PAGE 49 While Gustave Krist works on an amplifier, Refugio Garza checks resistance of the voice call of speaker. Graduates from this course may go immediately into the field of radio and television. METALISTS HEADLINE Jobs done in Sheet Metal Shop are done in true Tech spirit — for the school. Triangulation, radial line development, parallel line development, and single Sheet metal workers Julio Aguilar, Richard Sanchez, and foreman Ernest Cruz hold the display sign made by Julio. While Mafias Gomez and Joe Flores work on a steel telephone stand, Edward Street, Joe Hernandez, and Richard Castillo make a triangular project and weld legs onto a second telephone stand. line development are the theoretical tools used in the shop. The metalists successfully used triangulation to make air conditioning pipes for Lanier High School. Shop students Vicente de la Cruz, Mike Medina, and Jimmy Trevino make gutters. PAGE 50 Sheet metalists Charles Brown, Cameron Armstrong, Tom Ibarra, Onofre Garcia, Rudy Garcia, Walter Ball, and Juan Pena busily draw layouts for the projects the class will make. TECH SPIRIT In the shop, each boy is assigned a specific job by the instructor, Mr. Lindsey. The most recent project finished by several members of the Sheet Metal Shop was the repairing of campus trash cans. As a practice project, Rudolfo Lopez rivets pieces together while Jesse Ramos cuts patterns. Upon request, other jobs are done for people not associated with the shop or even with the school. The only charge is a fee for the material used. While Roy Carreon bends metal on cornice brake, Alfred Tamez and Mario Aguilar square metal on the squaring shears. PAGE 51 HOMEMAKERS TRAIN Tech's Homemaking Department is divided into two different sections — foods and clothing. Girls in foods view movies on homemaking in general. The girls learn how to make a home attractive and still stay within their budget. Washing clothes and working in the kitchen, simple as they seem to be, can be done more efficiently by using time-saving procedures. The students gain experience in correct table setting by giving a tea for the faculty for which they are in charge of all preparations. 7 Seamstress Linzie McVea assists Irene Villanueva as she smooths out the wrinkles in her material. Girls in clothing do all their experimenting on new power sewing machines and a combination washer and drier. Students learn how to select patterns according to style, size, and economy. They must learn how to match colors and select the right type of materials. The homemaking program also includes a study of home nursing, mother and baby care, and several units on dating and preparation for marriage. Homemaking teacher, Mrs. Armstrong, shows Oralia Mende2 how to place pattern on material while Lucy Muniz sews on her garment. While Hortencia De Leon removes the pattern from her material. Angie Gonzalez and Irma Lopez stitch on their garments. 15 i - teas Cooking students learn step by step directions in making pie crust — Elva Rodriguez, Mary Villarreal, Anita Pena, Yolanda Mendoza, Charlene Miller, Irene Romero, and Emma Davila. Experts Amelia Padilla, Jerry Benton, Guadalupe Vasquez, and Elida Flores clean up after a lab. Future cooks prepare pumpkin chiffon pie — Gloria Salinas, Valentina Vitela, Elda Gonzalez, Grace Martinez, Mabel Martinez, Josie Salazar, Evelyn Bernal, and Gloria Acosta. ARCHITECTS SCALE Floor plans are rather difficult to draft as you can see by the serious faces of Martin Aguilar, Charlie Garza, Ernest Felon, Bonifacio Delgado, Tony Fuentes, and Regino Carlin. Architecture is the art and science of design and construction dealing with manmade structures. In the profession of architecture, Local airport plans drawn by Rachel Martinez are being set up by Edward Mar th©T© j$ one daSS of worker tinez, Albert Flores, Rafael Rodriguez, and Henry Guerrero. who is indispensible, the architectura I draftsman. Teaching these future draftsmen is a job capably handled by Mr. Raymond Alsup. Here these students learn all phases of architecture. Drafting instructor, Mr. R. Alsup, gives extra pointers to James Gaffney, Cole Hanlon, Leonard Zepeda, Jesse Morales, Richard Flores, and Reynaldo Soriano on two-bedroom house plans. PAGE 54 THEIR FUTURE House construction includes choice of several building materials. Thomas Adame, Fernando Belmares, and Rafael Rodriguez make their selection. To begin with, sophomores learn mechanical drawing, after which they begin work on a simple two-bedroom house. As the students progress, they learn to draw plans for a three bedroom and a two-story house. When they are seniors, these students choose a church or a residence to draw as their senior project. Future prospect drawings are explained by Pete Cardenas to graduating seniors. Architectural Drafting student Nat Chavez shows his three-bedroom drawing to fellow workers, Joe Rodriguez, Richard Montalvo, Mike Barrera, Hector Chavez, and Pete Morales. ARTISTS ILLUSTRATE FOR TECH Art students feature painting for Life in America , the International School Art Project. The paintings are displayed at Witte Museum the first Sunday in May. Then they are submitted to a jury and are sent around the world. A Christmas scene was designed and painted and a Swedish Christmas Tree was decorated with miniatures from Mrs. Free's European trip. These students are popular in the city and state because of their many productions made for various organizations. ?l • K v_. I '! AA? IBc£ Top: Art students work on portraits.

PLUMBERS DO To maintain interest in the Piping Trades Shop, the students find the work varying from regulating an air conditioner to repairing the shower heads in the girls' gym. These boys do many jobs around the school; for instance, they make tools that are needed not only in their own shop but also in other shops. Experienced Raul Solorzano and Ruben Ferguson fix leak on a school water cooler. CONSTRUCTIVE WORK Experts Raul Martinez and Victor Castillo repair condenser in the main office air conditioner. Participating in other worthwhile projects, these Techmen devote their time and skill to the making of desks, bicycle racks, and pipes for various junior schools. Because the boys know that the course will be valuable to them in the future, they make the most of the time, the tools, and the instructions given by their teacher, Mr. Zettner. Afternoon students Gumercindo Macias and Simon Robledo overhaul a water cooler unit. PLASTICS IS POPULAR HOBBY Tech's Plastics class is the only one of its kind in San Antonio. Here the students learn to work with plastic and to turn out all kinds of useful articles. In making these plastic articles, each student has a variety of things to do in preparation of a finished product. First, he must cut the piece to size. He then sands the piece of plastic, taking out all scratches. For the finishing touch, he polishes the finished item. The items that the students make during the year include letter openers, earrings, keyholders, and paper weights. Students Albert Apolinar and Charles Gill arrange display case in the main hall. Beginners Joe Nunez and Eugene Smith operate the zipper pull. Experts Jesse Canedo, Simon Segovia, Richard Amez-quita, Daniel Casas, Robert Van Brandt, Raul Luevano, Henry Rangel, Ted Gonzalez, Robert Delgado, and Joe Torres work on buffers.

PAGE 64 TEN PRETTY GIRLS Dressed in satin — these are our Majorettes. An added attraction to the already colorful array of beauties is the cute baton twirler. These gals practice and practice and practice. This year they perfected a baton twirling routine which is very effectively done in sequence. Adding color and life, they prance in parades, at football games, and at the Band Concert. Twirler, Sylvia Band. Majorettes — Norma Cordova, Stella Reynoso, Gloria Panza, Mary Canamar, Martha Garcia, Nora Esparza, Aurora Garza, Teresa Canamar, and Elizabeth de la Cruz — perform at many of Tech's functions. Majorettes Teresa Canamar and Elizabeth de la Cruz head Tech's prancing dolls. PAGE 66 BAND HITS THE HIGH NOTES Band and majorettes wait for rehearsal to begin. “Practice makes perfect” and the Tech Band is well aware of this fact. For this reason the members spend a lot of time rehearsing to achieve the versatility for which they are so popular. Members Frank Garcia, Tito Chavarria, and Tom Segovia hurry to rehearsal. Band members Juan Ortiz, Rosalba Garcia, Mary Manrique, and Liberty Leon get in their proper sections for the concert. PAGE 66 Band Director — MR. R. A. DHOSSCHE Assistant Director — TOM SEGOVIA Drum Major — TITO CHAVARRIA Band plays for Tech ex-students who have come to the reunion. The best showcase for their talent is the annual Band Concert in February. The unit also performs at the football games and marches in San Antonio's parades and competes in the Band Festival. Band members Tito Chavarria, Lucy Rivera, Esther Sierra, Oral Washington, Frank Garcia, and Tom Segovia meet with Mr. Dhossche to talk with him about the concert to be presented. Members Paul Flores, Robert Ybarra, Sara Cortez, Juanita Cortez, and Yolanda Guerrero leave the auditorium after having entertained former Tech students.

In this drill a special feature took place starring our Tech twirler, Sylvia Mejia. Within a week's practice the Red Jackets. Band, and Majorettes presented our star in a two-baton twirling act. Happy faced Red Jackets are having a Christmas party. Along with their refreshments they sang songs, had a few speeches, and gave gifts to the officers and sponsor. Developing Tech Spirit has always been one of the Red Jackets' greatest tasks. This season has proved the most successful in years. Here the entire organization leads the student body in our favorite song. The Tech Hymn. PAGE 126 RED JACKETS Color Dayl Our girl cheerleaders led the players onto the field through a passageway composed of Drill Team members. In a giant T the team was greeted by waving pompoms, twirling batons, and a zooming giant good luck sign held by our boy cheerleaders. Yelling and performing at football games make the Red Jackets the twelfth man on the Buffalo squad. Anything that is expected to last needs a strong foundation. Cheerleaders, Dixie Dersch, Joe Magellan, and Ruth Cantu, having passed a rigid training course, learn to use the P.A. system from Jesse Rodriguez and Gustar Krist. Everyone joins in practicing the true Tech spirit. PAGE 127 N. T.

The first Buff T.D. came midway in the first quarter when Ed Street went wide for 30 yards. The second came in the fourth quarter on a long pass from Hilario Rodriguez to Joe Berlanga. Outstanding on defense for the Buffs were Clarence Fielding and Hilario Villarreal. A Tech Buff plunging through the line picks up yardage. Tech 19 Kingsville 21 The second game of the season found the Buffaloes journeying to Kingsville, where they lost their first game of the season to a heavily favored Brahma team by a score of 21-19. Roger Pena scored the first Buff T.D. on a 44 yard run up the middle. Quarterback Hilario Rodriguez scored the second on a four yard quarterback sneak. The third was scored by Ed Street when he intercepted a pass in the end zone and ran 102 yards for the T.D. Speedy halfback Edward Street racks up more yards against rival Lanier. Tech 0 Harlandale 19 The Tech team lost their second game of the season to Harlandale 19-0 at Harlandale Stadium. The Buffs put up a good fight, but the ball just wouldn't bounce their way. Ace pass receiver, Abel Gomez, gives it the old college try, but something got in the way. PAGE 136 Tech 12 Brack 18 The Tech Buffaloes Showed much improvement over their appearance the week before. They hustled all through the game although they lost 18-12. Ed Street scored the first Buffalo T.D. from four yards out in the first quarter. Hilario Rodriguez passed to Clarence Fielding for the second T.D. Tech's powerhouse, Roger Pena, shakes off would-be tackier for more yardage. Tech 35 Edgewood 6 The Tech Buffs, showing a lot of power and speed, walloped the Edgewood Raiders 35-6 before meeting Burbank for their first district game. Top scorer of the night was quarterback Hilario Rodriguez with three T.D.'s. Abel Gomez scored twice, once on a pass from Rodriguez and the other on a 6-yard run. Field general Hilario Rodriguez is finally brought down, but not before making a first down. Tech 13 Burbank 20 The Buffs had their first district game with Burbank. Although Tech lost the game, it took six-foot-four Ronald Durbon to give Burbank the victory. The Wyblemen were the first to score against Burbank this year. Hilario Rodriguez passed to Roger Pena for the first Buff T.D. In the fourth period Frank Garcia scored the second T.D. from the one-yard line. Half-back Richard Palacios chalks up first-down for Tech. PAGE 137 PAGE 138 Tech Buff, Roger Pena, bulldogs his way the line for his first of four touchdowns against Lanier.

Tech 33 Alice 33 The Buffs and the Alice Coyotes had a see-saw battle after the opening whistle. The Buffs scored in every period. Late in the fourth quarter Tech was leading by two T.D.'s only to have its lead tied with thirty seconds left in the game. Scorers for Tech were Charles Sheppard, Ed Street, and Hilario Rodriguez. A plunge through Edgewood's line brings Abel Gomez to pay dirt. Tech 13 Laredo 0 The Wyblemen went to Laredo to battle the undefeated Tigers. The half ended with Tech leading 7-0. The second Tech T.D. came in the fourth quarter when alert halfback Abel Gomez intercepted a Laredo pass and ran 95 yards for the T.D. Ed Street scored the first T.D. on a 42-yard run to the 1-yard line. Two plays later he plunged over. PAGE 140 Coyote bock is jolted to a halt by tough tackier Clarence Fielding.

Tech came through once again by stomping Lanier, 38-0. Top scorer for Tech was Roger Pena with 4 T.D.'s and two extra points. Charles Sheppard and Frank Garcia had one a piece. Tech's offensive and defensive teams were hustling and contributed much to the victory. The Tech Buffaloes take time before the game to re cite the Lord's prayer. Tech 0 Jeff 42 The last game of the season was the traditional game with the Jefferson Mustangs. The Buffaloes lost to Jeff for the twenty-sixth time by a score of 42-0. Tech ended its district play with a 2-1-1 record. The overall was 4-5-1. PAGE 141 B TEAM FOOTBALL Front Row: Ramiro Lopez, Jesse Pacheco, Jesse Saucedo, and Ronnie Rocha.

Outstanding players for Tech were Frank Arcos, who played his last game, and Humberto Sarabia. Arcos had averaged twenty or more points per game during the season. Tech 64 Alice 43 Showing lots of improvement and determination, the Buffaloes whipped the Alice Coyotes 64 to 43 on the Coyote's own floor. Accurate shooting from the foul line and the outside gave Tech a lead that was never lost. Tech 49 Laredo 42 The previously unbeaten Laredo Tigers from Laredo came to town to meet the Buffs at their stomping grounds in Alamo Stadium. The game was full of excitement and a very close one as the score shows—49 to 42 in favor of Tech. Humberto Sarabia and Roger Pena were the top scorers for Tech. Frank Flores Forward Arthur Luevano Guard PAGE 144 Gilbert De Luna Center Mike Medina Guard Tech 31 Lanier 30 The third district victory for the Tech Cagers was a well deserved one. Trailing at the close of the third quarter by ten points, Tech started a rally that was climaxed by a powerful freeze to protect their 31-30 lead. Outstanding player and top scorer was Simon Garces. Tech SO Burbank 75 The Burbank Bulldogs were next in line for Tech. Burbank again beat the Buffs, but it was by a bigger score. Tech just couldn't do anything right; Burbank could do nothing wrong. The final score was 75-50. Top scorer for Tech was Mike Medina with twelve points. Tech 59 Alice 47 Tech won its second game from the Alice Coyotes 59 to 47. The game was full of thrills and excitement. Tech's Gilbert Taboada suffered a broken wrist which was a disappointment to the team. Outstanding players were Gilbert Taboada and Mike Medina. Edward Street Guard Gilbert Taboada Guard Lanky Gilbert Zapata dominates the back-board against Lanier. Tech 54 Laredo 67 The Laredo Tigers got revenge for their previous loss to the Buffs by dumping the Buffs 67 to 54. The Macmen put up a good struggle, but they just couldn’t catch the Tigers. Tech 34 Lanier 37 Winding up their 1958 basketball season, the Tech Buffs lost to Lanier by a score of 34 to 37. Simon Garces was top scorer with 14 points. The Buffs earned third place in district and held a season record of 15 won and 7 lost. Outjumped but not outplayed are Gilbert Zapata and Roger Pena.

TRACKMEN STAR FOR TECH Tech's 1958 track team, composed chiefly of juniors and sophomores, starred four seniors — Richard Palacios, Lupe Ovalle, Edward Street, and Charles Sheppard — who ran in the Spring Relay. Although the team's weakest points were in the half-mile run and the low hurdles, Coach Guerrero predicted a good season. Tech proved to its competitors that it had some tough runners in the Metropolitan Track Meet. Lupe Ovalle and Ignacio Cantu came in second and third in the mile run. Richard Palacios, Frank Garcia, Charles Sheppard, and Robert Mendoza came in fourth in the mile relay. The Coach's prediction came true. As the season progressed, so did the track team. When the district meet rolled around, the track team turned in a remarkable performance. PAGE 1M Weight-man Louis Martinez gets ready to throw the discus.
