The spirit which the Music Department has given Tech began with the beats of “Rock Around the Clock’’ echoing at games and rallies. Tech’s Mr. Music, Lee Crabtree, instructs these groups: the Chorale, Girls’ Choir Boys’ Glee Club, and the “Swingsters’” which is a special jazz group made up from Band members for “Tan- trums XIII.” The Music Department teatures these groups annually in “Tech Turns to Music.” Thanks to Mr. “C”, our Music Depart- ment is one of the best.

The art courses at Tech are devised to give students the basic fundamentals of good design, balance, and color scheme. Courses are offered in design, interior decorating, poster making, crafts, and free-hand drawing under the direction of Miss Ida B. Roy and Miss Aglaia Solon. The various Tech activities throughout the year are recorded and advertised by students in the art department. Those won- derful decorations in the Boys’ Gym, the programs for Tantrums and Tech Turns to Music, and the posters publicizing class dances and elections are only a few of the many projects super- vised by the art instructors. —iaee

Most fellows get to know at least one of our wood-shop teachers: Mr. Locko, Mr. Winslow, and Mr. Hanson. They give every Tech boy a better understanding of the art of working with wood. Several boys in the past have won money or recognition from the Ford Motor Company for their fine workmanship. The Woodworking course is divided into different categories. The regular woodturning course begins by teaching the students to set up a lathe. Rough stock is cut down to blueprint specifications. The year usually culuminates with the turning of an inlaid bowl or lamp. Pattern making shop communicates the knowledge of the types and industrial uses of patterns. In foundry shop, a boy learns how to make a casting from a pattern. Articles such as door knockers and letter slots are cast. From all these indications, a person can very well see that Tech has an excellent shop program.
