LD6501.S6 T37 1969 Spartanburg Technical College. Tarana / I J f>- Images of Change
More than a technical education institution, Spartanburg TEC is a fusion of ideas and backgrounds of many diverse people. Among these people are the students, the pulse of the TEC body, converging their fresh active minds and youthful energies in ex ploring life and making challenges turn into triumphs. The refreshing progressive attitudes of the stu dents have initiated, as part of the school's function, a revolution and change within our society. The 1969 Tarana reflects the col lective change in attitudes and ac tions. It reveals the awareness, spirit and enthusiam displayed by the whole Spartanburg TEC com munity this year. A Revolution in Learning Fuses Ideals
Present in our dreams, occuring frequently in our study and cropping-up quite unexpectedly in our daily discussions, this revolution in re newed thought and reason has no boundary or limits and 1s a welcomed companion to the trav elers about to diverge into a new world. Echoes of campus life reflect the challenge of thoughts and ideas sprouted from the seeds propagated by an element of a changing socie ty. Analyzing and synthesizing, diverging and converging, contemplating and projecting, the people have given a new vision and dimension to the learning center. Reflections alone do not bring about change. Only involvement and action help refashion and model a changing world. TEC students are taught the never ending task of forging reality out of theories and dreams of what might be. They study unrelent lessly in a never ending task of absorbing and putting to practice skills learned in the class room. Through this process there occurs a change in the elements of personality that will be ever present in the TEC graduate.

Fellowship is Involvement
Someone's understanding for your problems, common appreciation for an instructor, lounging over casual conversation with a friend in the canteen, forgetting another class or strolling through the halls with that favored companion are all signs of the spirit of fellowship among Spartanburg TEC students. This friendship and meaning has brought forth feelings of selfpride, trust in others, and common involvement within the institution.
5 TEC Students are Recognized as Individuals
Each person at Spartanburg TEC is in essence more than a number or name. Individual feelings are respected and humanitarian relations are empha sized daily. Unknown faces and impersonal policies are nonexistant at the Center and a common genial feeling exists for all.

Student Organizations Foster Professionalism
The most dynamic growth in :student organizations occurred during this year. Three student chapters of national organizations, an interorganizational board, one professional fraternity and a stu dent publications staff assisted the :student government council and existing clubs in boosting student spirit and morale. With a staff or faculty sponsor, each organization elected leaders, promoted proj ects, and helped TEC move for ward in student activities. A few of the highlights included; the Alpha Mu Sigma's trip to NASA in Florida, the Business Administration grad uates' Nassau vacation, the Tech nical Secretaries' parties and cake sales, the AMS sponsored " date" raffle, and of course, the student publications which include the Tarana, the Mercurian, handbook, and student directory. A dynamic year of student activism.
25 Student Government representatives were the key ingredients of many activities at Spartanburg TEC. These students displayed leadership, courage. and a strong desire to move the student body into a better school-student relationship. Members of the Council Provides 1969 Student Council are (from left to right}: Douglas O'Shialds, Newton Early, Marvin Reid, Patsy Sumner, Anne Donaldson, Ray Cauthen, Bruce Marvin, Butch Ayers, Herb Nolan, Debby Burnett, Steve Taylor, Norman Bell, Steve Wolfe, Mimi Bartol, Ken Berry Student Body and Mike Moore.

TEC students spoke out for keeping the student body and community informed of Center life with the organization of the Mercurian newspaper, originated by and for the students at Spartanburg TEC. With an average c irculation of 1,200 the Mercurian reached the hands of students, TEC staff and faculty, a few alumni and key community leaders. One issu~ saw 4,000 copies published and distributed to area high school students. Through attending workshops, visiting with local newspaper publishers and associating with national organizations the staff learned the latest in writing, editing, photography, and layout to make the Mercu rian an outstanding student newspaper.

A bold step forward was taken by TEC students who reorganized their engineering fraternity, Alpha Mu Sigma. The fraternity aims at service to engineer ing education through encouraging persons to enter the engineering profession and promoting activ ities that will assist students to boaden their knowl edge in today's and tomorrow's engineering princi ples.
34 Library Move Engineered
To become an Alpha Mu Sigma member, TEC stu dents must be actively enrolled in an engineering curriculum leading to an Associate Degree in Ap plied Sciences, must have a C or better grade point ratio, and must be of good moral character. Students fulfilling the fraternity's requirements must be nomi nated and then elected to membership. The fraternity planned and organized an engineer ing field trip to Cape Kennedy, Florida to learn how their respective careers are employed by NASA.
Alpha Mu Sigma members converged their energies and engineered the move of the school library to its new facility in less time and more efficiently than commercial movers.
35 Secretaries Initiate First FSA Chapter in S. C.
The Future Secretaries Association was one of the newest clubs at Spartanburg TEC. The James F. Byrnes Chapter of The National Secretaries Associa tion is the only organized group in South Carolina. It is nationally recognized throughout the United States and is the world's largest association of busi ness women in one profession. The FSA goals are to stimulate interest in the sec retarial profession, develop a better understanding of secretarial responsibilities, and provide the basics necessary for the preparation of future professional secretaries.
Secretaries participated in the school's first unofficial picnic.

Class of 69 Actively Plots Course of Future Events
Student activities dominated the year and set the pace for years to follow 1968-69. The Student Coun ci I sponsored, " Get Acquainted Day", initiated the events that fol lowed continuously. The Council and Clubs also organized socials, dances, the Christmas parade, the " Miss Spartanburg TEC Contest", cake sales, beauty raffles, and trips. Fellowship was shared in the canteen, at bumper-pool and ping pong, and between and after classes, between students.
43 G~t Acquainted Day
The Student Council scored a bulls-eye in making the first Center " Get Acquainted Day" an over whelming success. Students, new and old, fac ulty and staff turned out for charcoaled hamburgers, slaw, potato chips, and cokes contributed by the Council and students. In support of student fellow ship, classes were called off and the students contri buted talk and togetherness to make the afternoon memorable. Top: Another TEC beauty gets an eye from a fellow.

Another first for Spartanburg TEC students was participation in WSPA TV 's Klassroom Kwiz program. Our scholars held their seats throughout several telecasts and demonstrated their knowledge in a broad area of sub jects. At the Center, college work-study students helped in the never ending flow of records, paperwork and logistical support of TEC's academic activity. This was TEC's Beautiful Year
The Spartanburg Christmas Parade was graced by five lovely ladies representing the Tech Center. Also, the school's first official " Miss TEC Contest" was viewed by an overflowing house and the judges' task was not easy. Anyone of the twelve contestants might well have represented the Center, as did the 1968 Queen, Miss Anne Donaldson. Social Activities Mark 1968 - 69 School Year

50 Future Plans are Made
Attending recruitment interviews for employment is one of the big activities during the last days before graduation. Students-leave to assume interesting and challenging responsibilities with modern industries and businesses and to help build a better state and community. Behind, they leave a mushrooming cam pus al ive with the activity of growth and community service. Although they physically leave the campus, they emerge anew as TEC alumni and enter new doors of experience and fellowship.
51 Even the snow days of winter didn't slow the ping-pong enthusiast at Spartanburg TEC. Ping-pong and bumper-pool sports events occurred continuously between classes and after school. Champions emerged only to become losers to more formidable players.
52 As old activities diminish, new ones begin. With the daily activi ties, fun, companionship, and shar ing ended; the students returned to their study and preparation for the future. As the activities of this year end, graduates go forth to accept new challenges. Returning stu dents prepare for new study and relaxation from academic life. OutstandinJ

The growth of Technical Education has been a significant factor in the increase in per capita income in South Carolina, which in turn has had a tremen dous and broad effect on the state as a whole. Al though increased salaries are of great importance to the individual, collectively, good salaries are in terpreted as better housing, better health, increased sales, a strong, vibrant state economy, and a state which attracts new industry and allows older industry to expand with a trained, adaptable work-force. South Carolina is now experiencing a period of unequaled industrial growth. Industry demands
90 trained workers and furnishes them with excellent job opportunities. South Carolina believes that it has a duty to its citizens and industries to provide the best possible technical training to assure and sup port continued industrial and economic advance ment. It is without question that the industrial and eco nomic growth of the piedmont region largely depends on an ever growing technical education program. TEC 1s helping Spartanburg and surrounding areas develop by meeting the manpower needs of industry and the educational needs of area residents.

Spartanburg TEC's first annual was finally completed and none too soon. Many people worked very hard to make the 1969 Tarana a successful yearbook. twas a very hard task to accomplish but through determination the Tarana Staff accomplished its long sought dream. Effort, months of work, details, new ideas, all blended together to form the tirst Spartanburg TEC annual. Every successful publication is dependent upon a number of people who contribute much of their time and energy to it. I would like to recognize and thank the following people for th eir assistance. Mr. Ed Henderson -Director of Public Relations, Spartanburg TEC, for "volun teering his service as the Advisor of the Student Publication Staff." Miss Regina Johnson - Secretary; for typing the entire copy contained in the yearbook. Mr Gene Hawkins-with WFBC in Greenville for photography work in introduction and four color pages. Mr Morris Kenig, yearbook representative, and the Keys Printing Corporation of Greenville.

Carmie Cook - yearbook editor Members of the Student Publication Staff - Tarana - m embers of the library staff. And all other people who have aided in the publication of this annual.
