TEHISE' 343' Boys or '22: Tech High delivers you as a finished product of the institution. You go out into the various avenues of life. A majority of you will continue your education for several years longer in college and university, the minority will seek places in industry and commerce. Lucky is he who first finds himself and then finds his place in the service of human kind. To those of you who have been graduated, I enjoin you to take stock and rate yourselves in accordance with your inventory. Above all things else it is desirable that you find the elements so mixed as to make you stand out preeminently men-manly men-of whom the old school may be proud. You will soon forget the facts you have learned from text books- the laws of physics and chemistry, the Pythagorean theorem, and Alge- braic formulas, and little does it matter, but you must always hold in mind the principles of law and order, of honesty and thrift, of religion and morality, and of justice and duty. You are under obligations tn your families, to yourselves, to society, and to God to preserve your integrity of character. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much : If you can fill each unforgiving minute, With sixty seconds worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my Son. ' Sincerely yours, W. O. CHENEY, Principal, T ech Iligh School. n ,Wa -

Q81 TEI-IISE' 63 JAMES EUGENE BALL MAGNESU Vamp Agnes is small, but present nevertheless, and if you ever happen to want to know why Caesar crossed the Delaware or who was the fifth assistant Secretary of VVar under Monroe or some similar information, just hunt for Agnes and the know- ledge is yours. However, Vamp is a mighty fine fellow and a credit to Tech High. HEYYVOOD BECKNELL BEcKx ' H.xYm:i: Becky is one of the best of sports and a most congenial fellow. He has gained many valuable friends while at Tech High and was one of Mr. Fanchf-r's favorite scientists. Among his many ac- complishments he has proved to be quite a fine foot- ball player and was some basketball demon, which he often displayed. JOSEPH BERNATH Jon UISOOKKEEPEIIU Joe was one of Mr. Smith's star bookkeepers this year. From all present indications, he has a promis- ing future in this work, even though he doesn't know a cash book from a ledger. Keep at it, Joe, you will get there some day. EDDIE BERGER HAM Lui The student body as a whole regrets muchly that Eddie will leave this year. He is especially well known among the students taking physics, as he has been a close standby to Mr. Enlow for a number of semesters, in both Physics 1 and Physics 2. VVhen an awful crash is heard around the Physics I.ab., someone is bound to say, Berger did it. Neverthe- less, his popularity among the Seniors is an asset to him. Ask him how he can fire at three targets at the same time with the same rifle. 4 . y .EQUAL yyigl
