He received his Bachelor of Education in 1933 from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh and continued on at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin Law School, Madison, Wisconsin.

Mr. Hutchison then continued his educational experience at the Milwaukee Institute in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1964, working on a Federal Data Processing Seminar, and subsequently a correspondence course, Chicago, in International Accountants Societx.

LaTech Staff Mr. Harry M. Hutchison Instructional Researclv-Research 8! Development Forward The purpose of the pictorial anthology is to provide a visual statement of who attended and a glimpse at what has happened at Western Wisconsin Technical Institute this past school year. iTis time to bid a fond farewellv-and Godspeed to' the graduates. Thereis work to be done today! Progress beckons with an eager hand, and the products of the future are waiting for fresh minds to invent and produce them. The quality of Eijobs waitingii for you today is ab- normally large. There are plenty of thema-in all shapes and sizes. Common sense tells you then that your investment in an education at Western Wisconsin Technical Institute has equipped you to meet the challenges of modern technology, and possibly has given you a glimpse of the wonder world of tomorrow. But remember-education does not stop on graduation day. All life is a time of learning and relearning. Strive for quality in your work, in your everyday life, and in your continuing education. Quality breeds self-confidence, an important ingredient in todayis world. My sincere thanks to the faculty and students who have devoted long hours so it could be said, this LaTech is the best ever. To the students who are leavinge-weill be in touch. To the students who are returning in the fall-we are looking forward to your leadership in the year ahead. Charles G. Richardson District Director iiWhatis Past Is Prologue William Shakespeare What has been learned in classes at WWTI from teachers, students, formally, and informally this year is now behind us and will serve as the foundation and the beginning for each student as he enters his occupation. It is the student who must identify concepts that he has learned and directly apply them where ap- propriate in the job situation. The formal education may be completed, but there is a family of man, a un- iversity of thought outside the classroom where getting along with people is a key to every stage of the transi- tion of learning, working and every stage thereafter. As our school has gone through its transitions from 1923 to the present, so the student will experience a transi- tion from his school into work. V. Burmnn-Advisor of the 6Transition from WWTI into the World of Workiw Betty MunnSeThe technical nursing program is well organized. The combination of theory with practice in the clinical area is excellent. I feel that the individualized attention given us as well as the performance based instruction has adequately prepared me for my future role in nursing. Technical Nursing What Do Students Think Peter Seidel-The technical program tAir Conditioning 81 Refrigeration Techniciant I was taking wouldn,t have prepared me as much as I needed for a job because it didntt get into things th at were relevant for me. That's why I changed to the servicing program. Also, I got a job and noticed that employers look down on students who are ufresh out of schoolf, Courses should stress that the boss is still king as well as the importance of continuing to learn and experiment rather than being a carbon copy of the teacher. Refrigeration Servicing The LaTech Yearbook Staff notes on the above interview-that students will change programs periodically due to their own prior mis- conceptions on the nature of the course and what it can do for them. Lori Hauser-I like the medical aspect of the program and have found it to be more interesting than ordinary secretarial work. I feel that I,ve learned a lot; the classes and instructors help prepare you for what to expect when looking for a job. Sometimes I worry about the prac- ticality of medical shorthand, with the ever increasing use of the dictaphone. I guess that will depend upon where I am employed. Medical Secretary Steve Arndt- The area of food service management is fantastic and I really like being a part of it. Many people donit think the program is worthwhile, when in fact it offers openings into a variety of fields. Iive been involved in various aspects of restaurant work since I was 16 and have learned more by taking this program than I ever would have on the job. To make this program more appealing tespecially to guys, since we are definitely in the minorityl more management courses rather than food preparation should be taught. Food Service Management Sue-Kawatski-I love it! Everyday is better than the day before. This program has given me a lot of confidence in my future; I know I will be employed in a position that I enjoy. I feel the knowledge and experience I have gained will make me a valuable human being in today's soelety. When I entered the program, there was some skepticism about girls in the program.. But I was greatly encouraged and found that the in- structors really cared about me as a liperson .

We have learned, as we act, we shall become. WWTI Proud Participant in 1974 Oktoberfest Activities The 1974 Maple Leaf Parade brought much pride to Commercial Art and Wood Technics students, for their float had received the seventh straight Festmasteris Award. Their feelings were echoed by the theme: 66Happiness is Reaching Your Goal at WWTI. Aboard the prize-winning float, animation provided for two well- known cartoon characters to be seen in a never-ending pursuit across brightly colored desert terrain. As the coyote used rocket power in an attempt to snatch his victim, the roadrunner sped even more quickly away. Both roadrunner and students emerged victorious at the days end. m ITOP RIGHT: WWTI float moves proudly down the Maple Leaf Parade route during Oktoberfest 1974.

Gradually, visual com- munications students turned the announcement device into a half-hour program entitled the s6VIVTTI Today Show? The program consisted of interviews with students and instructors and features on campus happenings. As the student television crew advanced in their professionalism the program expanded outside the boundaries of WWTI into the community at large. An Achievement in Campus Communication The shows were produced on the schooPs closed cir- cuit television and eventually viewers in the LaCrosse area saw the results on Channel Four Teleprompter. Audio visual experience in set arrangement, lighting, eamera work,,projeetion operation, video and audio control, and organizational developing and hosting were visual communication skills gained by students-while Western Wisconsin Technical Institute gained a fresh new media'in campus communication.

Sawyer Auditorium. Charles G. Richardson, Director of Western Wisconsin Technical Institute, and Robert E. Ringdahl, Chairman of the Board presented 361 associate degrees and 266 diplomas to the graduates who had completed one or two year vocational programs. l2! 122 PI'OflleS SSVVhaUs Past Is Prologuet9 . Shakes peare What has been learned in claSses at Western Wisconsin Technical Institute from teachers, students, formally and informally in past years is reflected through those who have experienced before us vocational and technical educa- tion. It is these students who have identified the concepts they have learned and applied them directly to the job situation.
