Gryder Sponsor �FOREW ORD These are the horizons that face us if we gaze from the windov1s of Roanoke Technical Institute; however the Class of 1964 has far greater horizons awaiting it upon graduation. Our future is indeed unlimited. Roanoke Technical Institute has grown as we have grown over the two short years here. We,theClassof1964,have seen the advancement made by our school and it' s administration and we have had the pleasure of being an integral part of this advancement. Now we advance toward our personal horizons in three distinct steps; the assimilation of theoretical knowledge from our instructors, the acquisition of practical knowledge through the performance of laboratory experiments, and finally - the most important aspect in the realization of our goals - the attainment of the elusive ability to work and live in this world with our fellow man. This, then, is the story of our hopes, our advancements , and our futur es . 2 �CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN ACTIVITIES 3 ���Qi • I • , . . . . . . tJ • .,. �ADMINISTRATION �DEDICATION During our two years at Roanoke T ech there stands out in the minds of t he Seniors one man who has been both an instructor and a friend to the students. During his three short years here he organized a Student Branch of the IE E E, and a chapter of TAU ALPHA PI, National Honor Society. He has been instrumental in setting up a curricu l um we believe second to none. We dedicate this the 1964 Technician to you - Mr. Harry C. Race. 8 ��DANA B. HAMEL, Ph.D., Ed. D. Professor and Director of the Institute A.B., Ashland, 1951 M.A., Ohio State, 1952 Ph. D., Ohio State, 1955 Ed. D., Cincinnati, 1962 Under the capable leadership of Dr. Dana Hamel, Roanoke Technical Institute has advanced to a respected member of the community. He is unceasing in his efforts to bring the name, Roanoke Tech., before the entire valley . If he is not behind his desk he is very likely behind a rostrum, speaking on the aspects and rewards of Roanoke Tech. To you, Dr. Hamel, we offer our thanks for the interest you take in Roanoke Tech. and in each student. 10 �HARRY C. RACE HUGH B.

In addition to their regular duties, they also conduct a lost and found department and an "information booth". 12 �We at Roanoke Tech feel a particular indebted ness to Mr. Roy C . Herrenkohl, dedicated civic leader, without whose effort T ech' s arrival might have been delayed. We are especially grateful for his untiring effort and his continued interest. With foresight and optimism, Mr. Herrenkohl has championed "our cause" since 1953 in an effort to co-ordinate civic, business, and industri al support in order to bring Tech to Roanoke.

The members of I. E.E.E. Student Branch at Roanoke Tech be long to the l argest engineering society in the world. There are over 27,000 student members. The Student Branch of I.E .E.E. does not supplement, nor does it supplant studies, but rather it serves to enhance education. .. 46 �One of the important functions of l.E. E.E. is the continuing education of its members, by technical meetings on local and national levels and by journals. T he members of the Student Branch receive these benefits plus the opportunity to have local engineers speak at Branch meetings and to take field trips to nearby firms and manufacturers of electronic equipment. These talks and trips usually serve to emphasize in a concrete manner, the theory of electricity and electronics the student studies in the classroom. The student member of the I.E.E.E. is further aided in his quest for knowledge by the STUDENT JOURNAL published by the parent organization strictly for students. This magazine features articles both of the technical and nontechnical nature written by men who are experts in their field. Papers of general interest prepared by qualified students are also published. �'I PHOTO CL UB Tom Crawford, Barry Walsh, Dick Steen, Jay Bennetch, John Brooks, Lewis Leffler, John Lenzi, David Kegley, James Dick, Bob Derenge, Jolm Newman, Steve Brown, Homer Thurman, Carroll Rush, Mark Grey. The main purpose of the Roanoke Tech Photography Club i s to acquaint the students with a teclmical knowledge of photography. The student learns how photography is used in industry to convey a message which would be inadequate with just words. Many types of photography are covered, ranging from microscopic to telescopic. T he student is familiarized with the use of different cameras. He also learns how to compose pictures and the process of developing and printing. Fully equipped deve loping and printing rooms are provided for this purpose. 48 ��CAVE-CLUB Steve Vaughan, Jim Biggers, James Overfe lt, Keith Evans, Bud Hogan. A newly organized club this year, the Cave Club, was formed to provide a knowl edge of underground caverns and related activities. The group visits the surrounding area entering caves and observing the various formations. Through this process an under standing of natures wonders is gained. 50 �ASTME The ASTME is a national organization composed of members who deal primarily with the app lication of manufacturing engineering. This college chapter composed of mechanical engineering technology students whose interests lie in the field of manufacturing. All students holding membership in the college chapter are considered as junior members . They attend the senior chapter's meetings, seminars and conferences. An opportunity is afforded the student to associate with men who are now doing jobs similar to those the students will fi ll in the future. 51 �ADVERTISING �MEN OF PROGRESS ..

In this light then, the state of Virginia, Roanoke Technical Institute, and especially the Class of 1963, are pioneers in the true sense for they, each in turn and as an integral unit, have engaged in a pioneering program of educational endeavor - a venture which holds promise for those who follow. As in all new efforts, the way is not always smooth. But, like true pioneers, new ideas are tried; new methods are invented. This, then, is their story; their struggles, their hopes, their achievements.

McVEAN Director �The passing of a bill in 1958 by the legislature of the state of Virginia created a state institution of higher learning, but only in theory. In order to become a reality, this enactment would require the initiative of an administrator combined with the ability of an educator. Some men in the teaching profession excel in one or the other of these fields. Rare, indeed, is the man who possesses both of these qualities. The search was long, the qualifications demanding. Fortunately, such a man was found. In February, 1961, James E. Mcvean was appointed director of the proposed college which was to be a branch institution of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. His was the task of creating an institution with an educational program little heard of and, as yet, untried in this state . . . the two year program of specialization in the engineering technologies. Bringing with him an avid interest and a knowledge of the value of this type of education, and an experience born of association and participation, he was equal to the task. Mr. McVeangraduated from Canton Ag. and Tech. Institute in 1941, earnedtheB.E.E. degree at Clarkson College of Technology in 1948, and the M.S. degree at Cornell University in 1953. To you, Mr. James E. Mcvean, leader, teacher, and friend, we, the first graduating class of Roanoke Technical Institute proudly and gratefully dedicate this first volume of THE TECHNICIAN. �We at Roanoke Tech feel a particular indebtedness to Mr. Roy C. Herrenkohl, dedicated civic leader, without whose effort Tech' s arrival might long have been delayed. We are especially grateful for his untiring effort and his continued interest. With foresight and optimism, Mr. Herrenkohl has championed "our cause" since 1953 in an effort to coordinate civic, business, and industrial support in order to bring Tech to Roanoke. His leadership and determination were an inspiration to all who worked with him. MR. ROY C. HERRENKOHL ROANOKE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE Roy C. Herrenkohl, Chairman David N.

Worchester, Dean of Engineering Stuart B.

Through foresight, dedication, and diligent hard work, the faculty has grown into a smooth operating team whose duties are varied but coordinated to create and establish an atmosphere for learning. Their patience and wisdom guide us in our education; their enthusiasm and knowledge are invaluable in gaining an insight into the mystifying and elusive areas of learning. ADMINISTRATION LOUISE CLENDENEN A special tribute is warmly extended to Miss Louise Clendenen who has done an excellent job of establishing an ~dministrative office, in addition to conducting a lost and found department, and an "information booth". 11 �Mr. Gryder explains the use of limits in the calculation of the derivative in a differential calculus lecture.

As time went by, and the students faced, or sometimes created new "problems", the widening gap between the student body and administration was evident. Someone implanted the idea of government and self discipline among the students. Soon, several leaders emerged, and Tech' s embryo student governing body was formed. This interim committee composed of Ed Boyer, Lane Craig, Sam Guzman, Jimmy Layman, and Guy Sparks, was elected and empowered by the student body to act as a study group to determine the best type of government suitable for the group. Soon, with the very capable suggestions of Colonel Thomas I. Edgar, faculty advisor, the committee completed the study and presented its conclusions and a finished constitution to the student body for consideration. Shortly afterwards, the document was ratified unanimously at a special assembly of the student body. The acting committee immediately set about conducting an election to determine the officers of the newly formed government as called for by the constitution. In an interesting, well disciplined election, attended by the entire student body, the following students were chosen as officers of the STUDENT COUNCIL, the governing committee of the student body: Samuel M. Guzman, President; Jimmy N. Layman, Vice P r esident; Barry Brown, Secretary; and Darryl Dellis, Treasurer. At one of its first organizational meetings, the Student Council cone e iv e d and · formed a working mo de 1 of an Honor System. A special committee was appointed to insure its operation. Jame s Roberts on, Clarence Tarpley, Roy Griggs, Jimmy Layman, and Sam Gu z man, Chairman. �At a general meeting early in the year, the seniors decided, by majority vote, to have class rings made. A special committee was appointed to furnish a design. Jerry Johnston, Gary Spiers, and Roy Griggs did the original work on the design. Roanoke Tech, again in a pioneering spirit aimed at promoting and encouraging high standards and ideals, has instituted a State Chapter of TAU ALPHA PI, a national organization devoted to the recognition of high scholastic achievement and service. Membership in Tau Alpha Pi is by invitation, and is limited to those in the top four per cent of the Senior class. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Charter members : Barry Brown, Ron Bryant, Roy Griggs, Tom Brogan, and Sam Guzman. �In an effort to record and reproduce a historical event verbally, much is lost in the telling. Therefore, some of the events and activities which took place during that time when the do o r s of Roanoke Tech first opened have been lost forever. Mr. H. C. Quinn, faculty advisor; Sam Guzman, editor. Theyearbook staff, however, has spent many long hours of extremely satisfying work in an attempt to present to the student body a complete pictorial and written coverage, commensurate with the size of the book and available information, of the events and personalities that made up the 1962 - 1963 school year. YEARBOOK STAFF Standing are Sam Guzman, John Lenzi, Boyd Hubbard, and Barry Walsh. Seated are Harold Mills, John Higgins, Wayne Massey, Ed Robertson, Jerry Warren, Bruce Bartley, Hamp Munsey, and Douglas Sutphin. �AMATEUR RADIO CLUB The Roanoke Tech Amateur Radio Society is a student organization devoted to improving the radio skills of its members, the advancement of amateur radio, and public service in time of need. In addition to its bi-weekly business meetings, the Society holds regular weekly meetings for the instruction of its members in radio theory and code proficiency. Facilities of the radio shack are also available to members for society-connected activities during their free time. These activities include anything from a delightful chat via the club's transceiver with a fellow ham in California,. to building a power supply for one of the several receivers the club operates. The officers and members of the Radio Club are as follows: Fred Berger, President; Dave Kegley, Vice-President; Woody Smith, Secretary-Treasurer; Bud Hogan, Joe Levin, Glen Diamond, David Moxley, Tommy Mitchell, Peyton Hash, Allen Thomas, Bill Hoffman , Bob Faris, David Kinsey, Tom Kanode. Mr. Thomas L. Overby is the Faculty advisor. ) 33 �FRONT ROW: Roy Griggs, Joe Givens , Mr. Race, Sam Guzman. SECOND ROW: Jim Reynolds, Fred Berger, Woody Smith, Jimmy Layman, Allen Thomas.

INSTITUTE OF RADIO ENGINEERS One of the extra-curricular activities available to Electrical students is membership in the IRE, Student branch of the Virginia Section. Mr. H. C. Race, who is the faculty advisor, was instrumental in forming the group. CAMERA CLUB Despite a slow start and handicapped by inexperience, the Camera Club has accomplished a lot--from organizing and maintaining a darkroom, to furnishing the photographic work for two publications.
