The jubilee celebrations lasted from April 20 till 27. During this week, a lot of events took place at our Technical School: students' art exhibition, the exhibition of cookery, graduates' meeting; photo- exhibition and many others.

Students' art exhibition was really remarkable. The students of the 1 – 4 courses and of all specialties took part in it. The visitors were impressed by works greatly. The exhibits were made of different materials: wood, straw, glass, bone, stone. Their works were distinguished by a romantic perception of life and nature. The artistic language was simple and clear. But what impressed mostly – is the variety of genres: painting, sculpture, embroidery, knitting, musical compositions, batik and many others. Subject-matter was various: "Students' life", "Nature", "Folk motifs", "Study of local lore", "Abstract Art", "Portraits". It was pleasant to know that out students are interested in old traditions. But they are also good at making new ones.

And we are sure now that there are a lot of gifted, talented, keen people here. They reflected in their works world view, readiness to mystification, practical jokes, disposition, analysis, vigilance.

The cookery exhibition was organized during this week too. With the help of the teachers the students did their best. It was a great success. The dishes of the Culinary Association of Caucasian Mineral Waters were also represented there.

All in all the students showed 27 special banquet dishes, made at a high professional level. While making sweet dishes and pastry the students showed fantasy. Everything looked very realistic. The tarts "Fruit basket" and "Opened book" were awarded a prize. The exhibition was in limelight. Its motto was "Art of cookery is the source of delicious and healthy food". The Association of Culinary Experts of KMV. (president A.N. Sobolev) also represented the dishes of high culinary trade. The jubilee panel made of multi–colored macaroni foods attracted special attention.

The exhibition showed that the students and teachers of Technological Department work with enthusiasm and love for their profession.

As you know well served table is the top of hospitality. An attractive food service style adds to the attractiveness of meal. Another important part of the meal service is correct table setting. Any meal will be tasty when eaten at a nicely covered table and you shouldn't limit your fantasy here.

Anniversary celebrations at our Technical School gave rise to imagination of 3-d year students of the Department of "Service organization at public catering establishments". They created their own compositions of holiday tables. Their fantasy in choosing the theme of tables settings was unique.

Each table had its own unique style.

The History of the Technical School

At the bottom of the mountains of Mashuk and Beshtau there is a world popular health resort town of Pyatigorsk. It was founded 221 years ago. Now it is widely known in Russia and abroad.

There is the oldest technical school in Pyatigorsk. – the Technical School of Trade and Economy there. It is situated in Universitetskaya Street in the shade of chestnuts. It celebrated the 70-th anniversary in 2001 .

Its history began in 1931 when a Decision № 107 of Narcomsnab College of December 15, 1931 to found a technical school of Rostorgovlya in the North Caucasus was made. There were 90 students in 1931. The first graduation was in 1934.

During the fascist occupation the town was ruined (9.08.1942 – 11.01. 1943). The building of the Technical School was completely destroyed as well. But according to the decision of Pyatigorsk Town Council began its work again in 41, Universitetskaya Street, just the very place the school is situated nowadays. Now it is a newly built modern school consisting of three buildings. It was done with the help of students.

In 1963 there was built a new four – storied hostel, where 120 students live now. There is a library, a reading-room, a rest-room there. Tea-parties, "Ogonkis", meetings with interesting people, debates, reading conferences are often held here.

In 1970 twelve teachers were rewarded with medals "For Valiant Labor" for their large contribution to the development of teaching and educational process, 14 teachers were marked with the sign "Excellent Teacher of Socialist Competition" of the Ministry of Trade of the Russian Federation.. 12 teachers were rewarded with the Lenin Jubilee medals.

In 1972-1974 with the help of students a new three – storied building was attached to an old one.

Chemical and technological laboratories, students' canteen for 120 places and the pride of the technical school - a gymnasium are placed there.

For great success in communist education of youth, for taking an active part in mass defensive work, for spreading political and scientific knowledge among the population, for physical culture development and sports in our town the Technical School was rewarded with diplomas of the Central Committee of the Leninist Young Communist League of the Soviet Union, Ministry of Education of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), territorial Party Committee, town Party Committee, territory executive committee, by the board of administration of territorial branch of all-union society "Znanie" etc.

By the order of Ministry of Education of the RSFSR № 145 06.03.1984 "About affirmation of basic special colleges on the territory of Stavropol and Krasnodar regions" Pyatigorsk Technical School of Soviet Trade was confirmed as basic among special educational institutions of Stavropol region.

For training skilled specialists for trade and public catering establishments the Technical School was rewarded according to its deserts with diplomas of managing department of Stavropol territory executive committee, territorial Party Committee and the town Party Committee.

The Technical School has done a lot of good. For making good progress in sports and physical training it was given the name "Youth" by the All – Union Council of Voluntary Sport Societies of Trade Unions in the competition with other educational institutions. During this period we have trained 11 Masters of Sports, 5 Candidates of Sports, 237 sportsmen of the first degree.

The tradition of holding of "The Day of Health" is still taking place at the Technical School as well as basketball, volleyball, table-tennis, mini-soccer, track-and-field athletics competitions , cross-country races.

There had been 73 graduations by this time, 20600 specialists for national economy: experts of food and non-food products, goods managers in public catering establishments had been trained and assigned to work to 340 cities and villages of our country.

From 1977 till 1989 the Technical School cooperated with the College of internal trade in Dresden (GDR), which had many branches in other towns. Every year we exchanged delegations for 20 days. During that time the students studied the forms of trade of our countries. They also had a course of training at the best enterprises of the Caucasian spa region: Pyatigorsk, Kislowodsk, Yessentuki, Mineral Waters and in the towns of GDR: Dresden, Leipzig, Magdeburg and others.

From 1991 – till 1994 our Technical School exchanged delegations with the American Culinary Association. Our teachers and students were a part of the delegation. The Americans were given a certificate after a short course in Russian, national cuisine of Russia and Caucasus.

It's a pleasure to note the fact that nowadays more than 400 former students work successfully in Stavropol region as the leaders of different large enterprises of retail and wholesale trade and in public catering establishments.
