MADELINE RYDER, Office-Thinks of Ballard as a city of bustling, happy humanity-almost terrifying in their exuberance as they rush through the halls. MARCUERITE HANQUET, Ofhce-While the first students were roaming Ballard's halls, she was busy prowling through encyclopedias and dictionaries at Broadway High School. DON C. TAYLOR, Senior Counselor -All we could worm out of this tight- lipped individual was, 5'Ballard is a good place to be. TIME 'W'.A.ITS FOR NO MA 1916 to 1946-In this our thirtieth anniversary we review a few highlights in the color- ful history of Ballard High School: the old frame school house, with its distinctive belfry, the present red brick building, dedicated in 1916, the northwest wing, added in 1928, the weather-beaten portables clustering around the main building like a mother hen surrounded by baby chicks, the impressive new annex, which in 1942 replaced these drafty cracker boxes. Each represented a phase in the growth of Ballard. Old timers hardly knew their alma mater when they returned for the anniversary celebration this spring. The passing years have brought many changes to the personnel as well as to the building. In these thirty years there have been three principals: Mr. Bennett, Mr. DeVilbiss, and Mr. Johnson. Two members of the present faculty, Mr. Dallas and Mr. Voiland, have taught at Ballard continually since 1916 Mrs. Arnold, Sophomore adviser, was one of the sweet girl graduates of the memorable first class. The present year brought many changes in the faculty. During the absence of Mr. Pease, beloved by students old and new, the study hall was under the supervision of Mrs. Peterson and later Mr. Hodge. Other new faculty friends were Mrs. Berthiaume, Mrs. Conrad, Miss Coulter, Miss Kwapil, Mr. Rantz, and Mr. Oistad. 14
