n N , if imma. ' The above is a copy of Mr. Otto Stark's picture, The Arsenal Bell, which took the Holcomb prize at the Indiana Art Exhibition this year. It represents the Bell on the Tower of the Arsenal. Mr. Stark is the Head of the Art Department of Manual Training and Technical High Schools. The Arsenal Bell This is the Arsenal, from whose gray tower Like a huge tocsin hangs the brazen bell Whose giant throat with loud yet mellow power Has many times awakened its messages to tell. Ah, what a time was that when wild and eerie Its echoes first resounded through these hallsg And when the soldiers dwelling in their fortress dreary Were Iirst awakened by its cheery calls. But all is changed, no more the soldiers drilling, N0 more the thunder of the morning gun, And look the many rooms below are filling With merry studentsg for a school's begun. And now the bell, its happy anthem pealing, Seems but to cry, The Arsenal has passed. Where once there was the home of warlike feeling, The hand of progress beckons forth at last. Wallace West.

Th Arsenal Cannon Technical High School :: Arsenal Grounds :: Indianapolis, indiana Vol- V c . IL ....LMVE.1fQL.c,,e,..-Y, cm, Q92 Farewell To Seniors: A Dialogue THE SENIOR The goal of my life-ah, what shall it be? The future-oh, what does it promise for me? What road shall I take, what way o'er the sea? The route to success, will it open to me? YOUR WELL WISHER The goal of your life? Place it high, place it true. No aim is too high or too noble for you. With Visage that's clear look aloft from the deck, Be calm through the storm, you're a pioneer of Tech. THE SENIOR But life is so big and the world is so strange- I tremble at thought of the quick- coming change That sends me alone, full of doubt- ings and fears, To mark out my way through the tenderest years. YOUR WELL WISHER It is true, life is big, and the world sometimes cruel, But heart that was faint never won in a duel. Press on in the fight and surmount every check. Keep always in mind, you're a pio- neer of Tech. THE SENIOR But look! To the east, north, south and the west As far as the dimly-lined horizon's crest Temptations allure, and I fancy I see The pitfalls of life open Widely for me YOUR WELL WISHER Where, then, is the courage with which you have met The studies of years without Worry or fret? Start straight from the line, shun the evils that wreck Remember, again, you're a pioneer of Tech. THE SENIOR But the Way is so crowded, the race is so long That I fear it's a struggle alone for the strong And I falter-success seems so far, far away, With nothing to cheer me but hope's faintest ray. YOUR WELL WISHER Look around and about you, perchance you will find That many have failed, that you've left them behind And perhaps at your side, keeping pace, neck and HECK, You may find an old classmate-a pioneer of Tech. THE SENIOR A classmate of Tech! ah, if such I might meet As I grope on the pathway with fast- failing feet, We would summon the spirit of school days long past And capture the goal running sure, running fast. YOUR WELL WISHER And reaching your goal may you never forget The day that you left us, where often we metg So put up your light, be it only a fieck, To guide those that follow the pion- eers of Tech. Farewell to the Seniors, farewell pioneers, Best wishes go with you bedimmed with our tears If fame should be yours as the toll of the years, Put your ear to the ground and you'll catch the old cheers.
