TECH TREK A jungle of classes, activities, and fun provides the setting for our annual Tech Trek. In early September our safari sets out along the route which rewards the survivors with exciting experiences and newly opened horizons. For the bashful, bewildered freshmen, inexperienced novices, the trek is through mysterious realms occasionally brightened by the grinning juniors. The juniors, or experienced hunters, are familiar with the sudden turns in the trail, but the deeper secrets of the surroundings remain unknown. The expert huntsmen, the seniors, are confident of achieving their goal, symbolized by the Tech tiger. Their three years of hard work mingled with pleasure are rewarded by the capture of the tiger . . . the rounded ae and unforgetable memories of good times that only Tech can offer. So follow us to capture the Tech tiger spirit on the trail that we have blazed below. PEhet Organizers: 7c. eee ep eM eee iin. 6 Guidesiand ‘Routes 2 oo cena eee en ee rere fe Expert: Hunters 2...

THE ORGANIZERS oe MR. JACKSON : Helping Dr. Gans is Mr. Jackson who works hard to keep our trek running smoothly. He is known by all for his never ending wit and great enthusiasm. His short bouncing figure can be seen here and there taking care of his numerous duties or cheering Techites on to victory at a game. He too has the unquenchi- ble spirit of all Tech. One of Mr. Jackson’s biggest and most rewarding jobs is producing Tech Tantrums. He always manages to arouse enough enthusiasm in the student body to stage a nigh perfect performance for a sellout crowd. Another job of his is managing the Student Patrol which keeps law and order in our midst. With these two capable organizers, Tech just has to be the wonderful school it is. DR. GANS Heading our expedition is Dr. Gans. We are very lucky to have such an excellent organizer. His combined humor, understand- ing, leadership, and enthusiasm make him popular with pupils and faculty alike. He is more than just the principal with a ruling stick in his hand. He is a true and sympathetic friend to all who come in contact with him. Besides his regular administrative activities, we often hear him tickling the ivories in the assemblies or in spare moments. He is very capable at both the piano and the organ. His enthusiastic spirit is with him everywhere. We can spot him at a game cheering for our striving teams. This combination of abilities explains why our expedition is such a well organized one.
