Lincoln joins Tech by Cindy Guarnieri "1'11 meet you by Lincoln" became a popular saying in 1919 when the June graduating class donated the life-sized statue to the school. .. Lincoln became a meeting place for students and has never left his post at the main entrance.

In the same year, the G.O. was formed and students gained a voice in school government. The 1919 enrollment showed 1,870 students. In the early '20's, the original greenhouse was replaced with a complete building. The tearoom was established on the third floor. The baseball team traveled to San Diego, California, in 1922 for the high ~chool national championship.

West Tech, now in its 64th year of growth, has survived numerous wars and stood to witness its nation's Bicentennial. C. C. Tuck

From East Tech came a West Tech faculty of 12 teachers and a student body numbering 224 students. The first principal was R.L. Short. Could these first members foresee that in a few years, West Tech would be the largest school in Ohio? for 34 years,

By 1916, its football team traveled to national contests. America was in the midst of an industrial revolution. The great 1924-1958. war, World War I, was just around the corner, and the entry of America into it brought many changes to West Tech.

Roaring Twenties The Roaring Twenties opened with Frank P. Whitney as principal. Many things were different in those days, including basketball scores. / For instance, West Tech swept by Lincoln, (now Lincoln-West) with a score of 17-6. On May 23, 1923, West Tech's first color day was held. The Red and Gray has been flying proudly ever since. 1920's chemistry labs,

In 1924, a young man came from West Commerce High School to take over the position of principal. C.C. Tuck, a simple and direct · man, felt "just fine" about his promotion. clothing class dUIUDies, In the same year, the West Tech Band rated 41 chairs in the 100 piece All-City Orchestra. The football team won its third consecutive city championship in 1925. The PTA was formed in 1926. By 1927, the Library, now known as the Media Center, had over 1500 books.

Tech faees war The football field bacame a drill field as the new principal E.W. Boshart took charge of 600 boys learning the formations of close order drill. The horticulture classes planted victory gardens. The Tatler, first issued in 1917, gave coverage of the raging war. 'War is over,' read the headline of the Nov. 21, 1918 issue. Schools had reopened after a five-week shutdown to an influenza epidemic that swept the nation. In 1958, a great career came to an end. C.C. Tuck, principal for 34 years, decided to retire to his 40-acre farm in Michigan. He had become a familiar sight to generations of West Tech st udents and. a legendary figure to the city of Cleveland. His successor was S. Dill Browne. The 1960 basketball team swept through the season undefeated, only to lose to East Tech at the Arena, 65-64. /

By 1927, the Library, now known as the Media Center, had over 15,000 books.

Enrollment soars . Old West Commerce High became part of West Tech in 1929. Enrollment swelled to 4,062 students! Teachers totalled 146. West Tech had seen a war, the depression was lasting, but progress continued. The P.A. was installed in 1930. The Wrestlers captured a third straight city title, a fencing club was organized and 88 students turned out for the golf team. In 1935, a student wrote the Tatler complaining that the old seats in the cafeteria were damaging clothing. Another student wrote asking why there was no yearbook and received the answer, "The ordinary West Teeh ehaagea every year as people come aad othen depart. student can't afford it." , Countless student• have puled throuah ita halh.

Four original faculty members remained as 22,000 visitors turned out for the celebration. Golden Anniversary Fifty years saw West Tech pretty much se~tled, but far from complete. It still nee•ded to change with the changing times. . The newest addition to West Tech, was the completion of the boys' gym in 1973.

lnMemorium 'Remember Pearl Harbor', the slogan rang in the ears of the January 1942 gMduates. America was at war again. The first of West Tech students had died at Pearl Harbor, just one of 200 who would give their lives for their country. West Tech went to war at will. While her sons were serving overseas, many things had to be done at home. Schools became rationing centers for books and stamps. By early 1944, West Tech had 33 gold stars, the number of Tech students killed in battle or missing in action. The 'In Memorium' sign still hangs in the main hallway across from the main office. The 1946 enrollment was down. Only 2,424 students returned. And veterans totalled 225.
