just before the game. Reading maketh a full man , What a surprise it would be for the schoolboys and girls of a century ago if they could pay a visit to our school. Accustomed to their tiny, one-room school, they would surely feel lost in our spacious building. We take the many classrooms as a matter of course. We gather in the auditorium for plays and assemblies, In the laboratories, we make first-hand acquaintance with scientific facts. The lihrary is our source for reference and pleasure reading. The gymnasium resounds with our rooters' voices during indoor games and in pleasant weather, the outdoor fields provide room for many kinds of athletics at the same time, And at lunch time we dash for the cafeteria, to relax and chat with our friends. Get that ball. The pause :har refreshes. al 5 It

Ml' 3400! :Shear of! Gufonfiuifn, our Aigd Acdoofu In the early days of free public education in Baltimore County life was comparatively simple and the educational foundation considered essential for every citizen was proportionately simple. Since then the horizons of life in general have widened rapidly, the ever-advancing strides of science and technology have reduced the boundaries of the world to a smaller compass and made human relations more complicated, Con- sequently, our schools have had to expand their objectives and their offerings to prepare the citizens of Balti- more County to live as well-rounded individuals fitted to assume, in the community, those places for which their abilities and interests adopt them. From the early little red schoolhouse and its three R's has evolved the great educational system typified by our alma mater, Catonsville High School. In the 1949 Caranian we propose to picture school life as we live it at C. H. S. Contributing to the picture of that life are our physical plant with its many familiar spots and hangouts , the personalities-faculty and student-who give it direction and spirit, the educational opportunities offered in daily classes, the special services and helps, and the round of activities enabling each one of us to make the most of himself. As we picture our modern school life, however, we shall suggest from time to time the tiny seed from which it has grown. QHIQ

i v we gating? The one-room school of long ago had its one-teacher faculty. He, or she, taught all the subjects that were to be taught to all the pupils in all the grades that were to be taught-from the babies in the primary class to the graduates-to-be. How the picture has changed! Our faculty consists of sixty members. As the administrators we have our principal, Mr. Johnston, and our vice-principal, Miss Fritz. Each member of the teaching staff is specially trained for the held or fields in which he instructs, in addition, he has hobbies and in- terests vvhich make it possible for him to sponsor one or more W of the clubs or the student activities, which mean so much in our high-school life.
