' TECHOGSO ' ORANGE AND BLACK On the banks of the Mississippi Where the waters gently How, Stands a noble granite city, Which was founded long ago It has in its realms a High School Which fame did never lack: For it always stands defender Of the Orange and the Black 1 lt's had noble teams in baseball, In basket ball and track, All their glories we're recalling, How soon they all come back! A It has won the honored medal, Of the famous Northwest Pack, And it plays the good old football 'Neath the Orange and the Black Tho the passing years shall part us, And we roam in foreign lands, Our hearts shall be together, Tho we are on different strands. We shall miss the good old High School And old friends we shall lack, But we'll cheer our Alma Mater, And the Orange and the Black. Page 7

' TECHOES ' BOARD or EDUCATION Kendall Clark Prerfrlerrl Charles Richter Vice-President C. C. Dragoo Treasurer Julius Adams . Clerk J. W. Campbell Dfreezer A. A. Lagergren - Dircclor AT THE TECH IN 1927-28 With an approximate enrollment of 670 the Tech started the school year of l927-28 on September 7. The freshman class headed the list with 2l2 members, 87 boys and 125 girls. The seniors had I29 members, the girls outnumbering the boys 76 to 53, the juniors came second with l53 enrolled, 65 boys and 93 girls, the sophomores had nearly an equal distribution of boys and girls, 94 to 90, giving a total enrollment of 299 boys and 384 girls. During the summer, the Tech athletic field was enlarged to include a regulation football field and four tennis courts. A retaining wall was erected on the east side and the fence was extended around the north end. The tennis courts were made possible by funds received for that purpose from the senior classes of l925, I926 and I927. The approach to the entrance of the building was greatly improved by the construc- tion of a flight of wide steps opposite the main entrance. These concrete steps, eleven in number, are flanked by stuccoed retaining walls, capped with a broad cement coping. At- tractive flower urns, the gift of the Tech's faithful friend, Mr. Clustaf Liljedahl, were placed on the coping at each end. The curriculum for the year remained unchanged. A definitely organized program in extra curricular activities is a vital part of the school curriculum. As an incentive to general participation, credit by points is given to the pupil according to his degree of activity in the major and minor groups. Major activities include the School Newspaper, the School Annual, Clee Clubs, Orchestra, Library, Football and Basket Ball, Debate, Declamation, and Dramatics. The minor activities are Baseball, Track, Swimming, Tennis, Clirls Athletics, Chorus, and Special Clubs. Through a program of personnel work, a very earnest attempt is made to help the individual plan his high-school courses toward a definite end, and to point out vocations that he may reasonably follow.
