THE I GI GE GI EER During the Spring concert tour of The Singing Engineers, the group gave its opening concert at Pierre. The Singing Engineers were pictured here with the Honorable Governor joe Foss prior to the concert in the capital city. The chorus gave a series of ten concerts in the Eastern part of the State in early March, One of the largest crowds ever to attend a Singing Engineers' concert was at the Rapid City concert. The high school auditorium was overflowing to such an extent that Mr. Dick Kitchen and Mr. Guy March had to sit on the floor in order to see the concert. The comedy team of Schick and Schamber per- formed during each concert. Walter Schick, Bert Miller, and Bob Schambcr did a series of panto- mimes to popular and hit songs.

TECH STAFF Looking more like Murder, Inc. than the Tech staff they actually comprise, these students are the unsung heros fand heroinesj of the campus. In their bi-monthly struggle to publish a readable paper composed of printable articles, they strove valiantly, although not always successfully-still the effort was there. Under the whip-cracking leadership of Editor Rosenberg, the paper, if nothing else, was at least always out on time. The Tech's policy of more humor than usual was apparently successful. Fourteen issues were published this year, causing no serious frowns upon Business Manager Adam's countenance, although, the financial operation was always marginal. Win, lose, or draw, the Tech came out. The staff held no parties or get-togethers other than the usual bi-monthly policy meeting. None the less, they enjoyed their position, even if it was sometimes necessary to Wring a story from them in the fight against indifference. Distribution Manager Papcke's contribution was no less important in keeping the city fathers posted on the latest at Tech. And the contribution of Make-Up Editor Matthew was perhaps the most nerve racking of all, wondering how to fill six columns with four columns of copy. All in all, an outstanding group.
