Do you enjoy working with numbers? If you do, the math department sure can find some for you to stare at. For many years, Tech has ranked very highly for its excellent math department. To accomplish this record, there has to be someone behind it. Headed by Mr. Woodworth, the staff includes Miss Allen, Dr. Theinert, Miss Kelley, Mr. Bushey, Mr. Sprague, Mr. Moyle, and a new member to the faculty, Mr. Szetela. These well qualified and capable leaders try to drill into our heads the basic math upon which much of our future depends. This year, Tech has omitted the general course. This leaves only two courses from which a student may choose. The College Preparatory and Technical courses offer elementary algebra, plane ge- ometry, intermediate algebra and for the seniors, a course in trigonometry and solid geometry. The College Preparatory seniors are offered a choice between calculus and basic analytical geometry. From this, one could well say that a Tech graduate Must have plenty of math when he graduates. €.

As you’ve passed through the corridors, you may have looked into a room and have seen boys busily working over drawing boards. As you must know, they are studying me- chanical drawing. Tech provides its students with one of the best mechanical drawing pro- grams in the country. This is a result of having such excellent teachers as Mr. Biscaldi, Mr. Duffin, Mr. Loiko, and Mr. Lennon. In these classes we learn how to construct views of three-dimensional objects. We learn how to use the T-square, triangles, dividers, French curves, and other equipment. We are taught projection and isometric drawing, using machine parts as models most of the time. A course in architectural or machine drawing is available to senior boys. Here stu- dents are taught how to design buildings or parts of machines. This year Tech made an improvement in the drawing department. We purchased a printing and developing machine which can print and develop a blueprint in less than a minute. You can see that we here at Tech have a mechanical drawing program of which we can be proud.
