OFFICE STAFF Oo Left to right: Mrs. Marilyn Foy, Mrs. Dorothy Angers, Miss Stella Gilwech, Mrs. Ella LaBarre Before our Tech safari sets out, our plotters and planners, the office and guidance workers, must labor mightily to outfit our party properly. To Mr. Lynch and Mr. Sprague had fallen the heavy burden of planning a different type of program for 900 upperclassmen and 600 freshmen. Mr. Lynch helps the college preparatory and technical boys plot their courses and colleges, and Mr. Sprague guides the general boys. As Secretary of the Lions Club and Executive Secretary of the U. S. Revolver Club, respect- ively, Mr.-Lynch and Mr. Sprague should prove invaluable on our Tech Trek. Miss Whittemore ably counsels Tech girls in school and on the job. Conducting aptitude tests is Dr. Theinert’s job. Dr. Theinert, a veteran traveler, and Miss Whittemore, our moun- tain climber, feel quite at home on our safari. Mrs. Angers is secretary to our “‘grand and noble” chief guide, Dr. Gans. Mrs. LaBarre keeps the records of the absentee explorers and has charge of the daily bulletin of jungle flashes. All our provisions are ordered by genial Mrs. Foy. General office superintendent is Miss Stella Gilwech. This able staff of plotters and planners is bound to make our Tech Trek a success.

FAREWELL DR. LEO GANS HAROLD W. SCHELLENGER ALEXANDER D. DAVIS RETIRING TEACHERS Most regretfully we bid farewell to Dr: Leo Gans, the man who has so ably led us through all our vicissitudes and triumphs these last four years. We indeed wish him many productive and happy years with the American Book Company to which he has transferred his talents. With regret also we say good-bye to our long-time friends and guides. Mr. Alexander D. Davis and Mr. Harold W. Schellenger. For years Mr. Davis has skillfully guided our boys through the intricacies of mechanical drawing, and found time and patience likewise to act as dispenser of bus tickets. To Mr. Davis we sincerely wish a return to health and renewed vigor to enjoy his well-earned leisure. Mr. Schellenger, besides expounding the mysteries of mathematics, has been invaluable as locksmith, and as photographer extraordinary. May he in the future enjoy many years of leisurely photography.
