Tonight’s symphony is one of the greatest stepping stones in the lives of our many Tech musicians. Each member of the orchestra realizes the time and effort that the understand- ing arrangers and composers have given him to make this symphony a success. Special credit should be given to our competent conduc- tor, Dr. Leo Gans, and to his reliable assistant, Mr. Belding F. This is Mr. Jackson’s first year at Tech.

Fortunately for Tech, Mr. Belding Jackson is quite im- pressed with the school’s program. He is enthusiastic about the friendly atmosphere which predominates throughout the whole school. The unlimited co-operation of Tech’s faculty was another highlight in our talk with him. It is everyone’s turn now to try to live up to his expectations. With the help of a lively committee—Mr. Crabtree, Miss Ratto, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Winslow, Miss Norrgard, and Dr. Gans—he recruited the hidden talent among the students early in the fall for Tech’s annual show, “Tech Tantrums.” Mr. Jackson’s wonderful understanding has already proved that he will be an asset to Tech.

Dr. Leo Gans, our distinguished conductor, was a new- comer to Tech last year. During the year that he has been with us, he has become an important part of Tech’s life and activities. One of the many ways in which Dr. Gans has demonstrated his interest in Techites is by arranging educa- tional as well as entertaining assemblies. He enjoys working with the students and faculty at Tech, and he has been im- pressed by the willingness of the faculty to assist before and after school those students who have need of special help. To Dr. Gans each student has individual concerns and he treats them as such. Because of his understanding of student problems, he is always willing to discuss difficulties which may arise. He has taken it upon himself to see that every student is given the opportunity for a well-rounded background that will serve him throughout his life. Besides possessing the quality of effective leadership so important in an administrator, Dr. Gans constantly impresses us by his ability to meet all situations and carry them off with 11 While talking with him or listening to him in assem- finesse. blies, we appreciate his fluency as a speaker, his wit, and his contagious enthusiasm for this business of education. It does not surprise us to learn that, in addition to all his activities here, he has also found it possible to write books dealing with modern educational problems. The students who remain after school to partake in club activities or to attend committee meetings have sometimes heard a piano or an organ being played somewhere in the building. Those with an abundance of curiosity have traced the strains of music to the school’s assembly hall and, upon opening the door, have found popular Dr. Gans seated at the piano or at the organ. This amazes those who have not realized before that he plays both very well. A curious Tiger member inquired which he preferred playing, and Dr. Gans answered, “The organ, but I still bat a piano.” Dr. Gans has achieved remarkable results at Tech, and we have great hope for the future because of his abounding energy and his dynamic personality.
