Ralph Waldo Emcrmn Real intelligence is a creative use of knowledge, not merely an accumulation of facts. The slow thinker who can finally come up with an idea of his own is more important to the world than a walking encyclo- pedia who hasn't learned how to use the information productively.

Peace And Quiet Prevail In The g! r y x ., 99 MRS, NORMA HEDGECOTH MRS, BLANCH HAFNER Assistant Librarian Librarian Office Staff Nerve center of the vast physical plant is the central office where the staff, under the direction of Business Manager Lou Principe, keeps all the many facets of a bustling program coordinated. Besides handling school records, communications and a mountain of paperwork, office personnel including receptionist Shara Follin, form the face of TEC. Visitors meet them first so a warm smile and courteous gTeetings are standard procedure here. Although the office force is not engaged in teaching, it is, nevertheless, an integral part of the school with- out which operations would soon become drowned in a sea of details. PRINCIPE, LOUIS F.

Hollomon, Francis Jent, Evelyn Oxendine, Linda Preparation for a position in industry, bank or general office, or a medically oriented office may be accomplished by the student in the Technical Secretarial curriculum. In this fast age in which we live. gradu- ates of this program will be in great demand as specialization becomes increasingly im- portant. Basic Secretary Fundamental skills of typing, shorthand, office machines, and bookkeeping are inten- sive training skills which prepare thebeginning secretarial student to enter the business world as a file clerk, receptionist, clerk typist. or a general office worker. Upon completion of the Basic Secretarial Course the graduate may choose to enter the Technical Secretarial Program. Amerson, Frances 30 Coker, Patsy Darley, Barbara Ann Davenport, Louise C. Dellaposta, Cathie Godwin, Denise Powell, Linda Faye Basic Business Davis, Kenneth W. Duke, Cynthia Flanagan, John Itakura, Kuniko Mitchell, Claudia Montgomery, Charlene RicHardson, Mary C. Way, Margie 32 Basic Business is a nine months certificate program designed to give high school graduates a general survey of business. Some courses included in this program are typing, business math, business machines, bookkeeping, office applications, and stenoscript. These students are trained for general office positions and will be able to enter the Marketing Technology Program next year. Industrial Trades Division Supplying skilled craftsmen and tradesmen for South Carolina industry is the primary goal of this division. Because of the changing needs of industry, this curriculum must remain flexible to a cer- tain degree, providing qualified personnel as the demand dictates. Students develop knowledge and skill in the Industrial Trades Division so that they may take their place alongside experienced work- men and be able to carry out their job duties skillfully and efficiently. A considerable portion of the student's time is devoted to developing manipulative skills. 35 Air Conditioning And Refrigeration The heating and air conditioning industry is rapidly becoming one of the largest in the country. Aheady air conditioning is amust for homes, offices, hotels, theaters and industrial plants. New applications of air conditioning and refrigeration thebry are announced daily. This curriculum was designed to develop the necessary appreciation of the knowledge and skills necessary for employment as operat- ing engineers, technicians or mechanics in this industry. Bilton, John Wayne Cook, Thomas Floyd. Robert McFadden, Harold Milan, Jerry Owens. Wyman Underdue, Charles 36 Automotive Mechanics Geddings, Dale Harrington, Steve Hodge, George Hunter, Carl Pitts, Lewis AUTOMOBILE PROGRES .r- a gala s53 34.: iii Wyncoop, Fred Engineering designs and manufacturing skills have made the modem automobile more efficient and better designed than ever before. The Automotive Mechanics curriculum is designed to develop technicians capable of doing high quality maintenance work and diag- nosing technical difficulties. 37 Machine Shop Instruction in this cuxriculum is projected primarily toward the technical aspects of Machine Shop operations, Students with the aid of machine and hand tools perform selected operations and are given technical information regarding these operations. The Machine Shop employee is in constant need of technical know-how regarding taper and angular calculations, geometric construction, screw threads and pitch diameter measure- ments and dividing head indexing of circular segmentation. A graduate of this curriculum is qualified to seek employment as a machinist apprentice or maintenance machinist. Bateman, Wilson Britten, Harold Cutter, Jackie Davis, Jimmy Geddings, Henry Harper. Richard Hill, Ernest McCray. Sylvester Ridgeway, Arthur Watkins, Henry Watts, Robert 38 Tool Room Machinist This course, a continuation of previous machine shop work, homes a sharp edge on the studentfs abilities. Instead of working to tolerances of one ten-thousandth of an inch, machine work will become so exacting that tolerances of one ten-thousandth of an inch will become commonplace. This refining of techniques enables graduates to expect employment in tool rooms of manufacturing plants, in maintaining dies, manufacture of gears, breaches, etc. The student who successfully completes this course will wave TEC with a full knowledge and capability Barkley, Ralph of performing exacting machine shop assignments. Harper, Wallace Junkins, Gail Shumpert, Donald 40 Welding One of the least expensive yet most satisfactory means yet discovered to join two pieces of metal is the welding process. A complete welding curriculum is offered featur- ing the standard Oxy-Acetylene and Electric Arc processes as wellasless well-known aspects of welding. Completion of this curriculum prepares a student for employment in occupa- tions utilizing the welding skills.

The graduate, who earns a degree in.App1ied Science, will master much of the engineer's fundamental knowledge, and as an engineering technician, will be able in many instances to perform important respon- sibilities without the need for direct supervision of an engineer holding a Bachelor of Science degree. Challenging and fascinating, this division covers such areas as civil technology, highway engineering, industrial electronics, industrial technology, laboratory routine, and technical drafting. Truly, the Technical Division graduate will enjoy a more productive personal life and help build a more prosperous community. 43 Engineering Technology Kohl, Billy Civil Duke, Richard Gunter, William Hall, Reggie McLeod, George Mitchum, Wayne One of the broadest subjects in the technological curricula is Civil Engineering Technology. This course is designed to equip the student with a thorough knowledge of practical applications within the wide field of CET. The training given in this curriculum will enable the graduate to perform such duties as estimating, specification writing, surveying, in- spection and supervising with both private and public firms.

Industrial Technicians are found in almost every phase of factory planning and operation. Hipps, Dan Manning, Randy 47 Electronics Students who complete this curriculum are prepared for employment in manufacturing, merchandising, testing, installation, and main- tenance of electrical systems. In this program a student learns about direct and alternating current, motors of all sizes and types, generators and how electric power is produced, transmitted, distributed and employed. Bowen, Ronnie Bradley. David The demand for qualified personnel in in- dustry has multiplied many times and the con- tinued application of automation has made the electrician a very indispensable person. Brewer, Lawrence Howard. Nathaniel Parham, James Tedder, Thomas 48 Electricity This program is designed for the construction electrical field. It will qualify graduates to work with electrical contractors, industry, and other firms needing persons with basic, practical electrical knowledge. It will prepare the student to be familiar with residential and commercial wiring and with the requirements of the National Electrical Code.

Wade Parnell, Calvin 49 50 Engineering Aide Through an agreement with the South Carolina State Highway Department, Engineering Aide students can look forward to full-time employment with the High- way Department upon successful completion of the program. This is a work-study arrangement whereby the student divides his time between classroom theory and on-the-job training. While in the field, trainees receive pay from the Highway Department. but during classroom training they must pay all expenses.

Ronnie Geddings, Martha McElveen, William Matthews, Frank Maynard, Richaxd Moorefield, Bill ROWe, Ernie Teal, Lame Defender of the public health is a title that might be applied to the graduate in Environmental Health Technology. His realm is everywhere: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil on which we exist. He may be found in public health engineering, sanitation, industrial waste engineering, and many other useful and humanitarian positions. Stream pollution, disposal of sewage, and smoke and smog dispersal are concerns of his. 54 56 Sports Athletics is the teacher of the spirit of sportsmanship. Through honesty, fair play, and respect for others, individuals learn to work together as a team for a common goal. Finding the courage to face overwhelming odds, learning always to give one's best, and knowing the elation of victory and the misery of defeat, will mold and harden one's outlook for the trials of adult life. 57 Basketball Tim Branham Calvin Fortune Harold Hancock Sylvester McCray James Parham Butch Plowden Lewis Watkins Donnie Watts Robert Watts Swish? ? 58 The Tipoff! !

The Student Council maintains high standards of conduct and leadership within the student body. Numerous projects promoted by the 1969 Student Council include en- tering floats in both the Christmas and Iris Festival palades, organizing stu- dent body parties, basketball, base- ball, and football games, as well as helping a needy family at Christmas with baskets of food and children's toys. The annual basketball game with Clemson at Sumter was once again sponsored by the Student Council for the benefit of the March of Dimes. 77 Dimensions Staff DANNY CHARPENTIER MRS. BARBARA L. HALE Editor-in-Chief Advisor In the fall of 1968 a fearless group of eager students met for the first time to launch the 68-69 edition of Dimensions on its way to the presses. Under the direction of our capable advisor, Mrs. Hale, deadlines were barely met and mass confusion was kept to a minimum. As time wore on and patience grew thin, the staff plowed through page after page and section after section. There are just no words to express the emotions of staff members as the last page was sent to the publishers.
