Electronics Oceanography Two specialized clubs at Tech are the Oceanography and Electronics Clubs. Both are advised by Mr. Hough of the Science Department. Mr. Hough, who developed the Oceanography Class, has watched interest grow in this popular study during the past 7 years. A major highlight of the school year for this Club’s members is a field trip for the purpose of whale watching. Mr. Hough feels that the club is very beneficial to the students’ education, and enjoys presenting this subject to them. The Electronics Club is in its first year of existence. Club members meet before and after school to work on individual computer and electronics projects. Students have been assigned to local banks and businesses, voluntarily working at computer projects at these locations. Electronics: Eddie Whitley, Gene Lee, Chris McNeeley, Scott Sanderson, Fred Spann. Oceanography: Seated: Tony McDonough, Greg Lockwood, Awilda San- tiago, Dianne Jenkins, Richard Lopez. Stand- ing: Ivan Oliver, Jeff Lockwood, Johnny Ross.

IN APPRECIATION ... The TIGER STAFF dedicates this page to those who worked so diligently with the Student Council for the Toys for Tots campaign. Students arranged for drop off centers at different places such as King’s, McCrory’s, all of the Big Y stores in the area, Sixteen Acres Garden Center, and many more. As an incentive, Tech students were given “gifts” in return for making a toy donation. An hour was dropped from an individual’s detention time for every toy brought in. A free box of popcorn was given in exchange for a toy. All overdue book charges were erased if a toy was brought in to the City Library. At the end of the drive, a scrap book of all of the things that Tech did during the campaign was submitted. Every participating school passed one in, and all of these were judged. Once again, Technical High School won first place! The school was awarded $750.00, which will be used for school activities. Aside from being financially richer, Tech students are also richer in another sense. The collection of over 5,000 toys for distribution to needy youngsters in the area makes all well aware of the Tech student body’s desire to help the less fortunate. Tech students truly understand the meaning of Christmas. 23
