JOHN F. ANDERSON Often we hear of men whose accomplishments have placed them in such a position that they may serve as inspiration to their fellow men. Mle need go no further than our own main corridor at Hughes to view the record of just such a man. For on this wall hangs a simple picture with these words john Anderson, Hughes, 1925. Born Cincinnati, Ohio, July 4, 1907, died Naknek, Alaska July 8, 1948.2 Beneath the picture appears the following statement: This picture loaned to Hughes by the class of 1925 until the above record of achievements is tied or broken. The record of John Anderson speaks for itself. It is as follows: Hughes '25 Four Years scholastic average 90.99, Senior Class president, Letters: three basketballg four football, captain in junior year, one in tennis. Cornell '29 Phi Beta Kappa, Student Council president in senior year, Letters: three in footballg three in track, captain in senior year. Olympic Games 1928 at Amsterdam, 1932 at Los Angeles where his discus throw of 162', AIM, set the worlds' record, After graduation from Cornell, he graduated from the Harvard School of Business Administration in 1931. Dur- ing World War II he served as a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy. John Anderson was more than just a superior studentg he was more than just an amazing athlete, he was more even than a shining image of near perfection. John was not an idol- he was an ideal. Though his mortal life has ended his soul remains with us here at Hughes where thousands of boys such as Neil Hart, president of the class of '51 may remember him and receive inspiration from his accomplishments. HUGHES Hughes, our school song was written for the dedication of the new building in 1910. The words were written by Mary Helen Lathrop Nelson and the music, by Clara Yorston Woodside. During the current school year Mr. Robert McSpadden, a Hughes graduate and teacher of choral music at Hughes Page eighleen rearranged tl1e score. The present arrangement is in four parts, and the tempo is slower. The song, in its revised version, was first sung at the Christmas assembly, by the choir and received immediate acclaim and popularity. Since then, it has been sung on all important occasions by the student body. Hughes spirit, ever strong, has increased with the revival of this song.

Mlhen the Hughes High School on Clifton Avenue was completed in 1910, the students assembled in a beautiful, new building. They wanted to keep the beauty they had and add to it. The Art League, sponsored by Student Council, was established for this purpose. All Hughes students contributed to the Art League fund which purchases paintings and other works of art for the school. The Art Leagues of many years are responsible for many of the paintings which constitute our great art collection. The graduating classes of each year presents a gift to the school as a token of remembrance or gratitude. Many classes accepted the idea of the Art League and presented paintings or Rookwood drinking foun- tains. During the war, the graduates gave war bonds or contributed to the Red Cross. The class of 1950, presented a portrait of Mr. Kizer, painted by Philip Steinberg, a member of the class. Hughes publications started with Old Hughes, which was a monthly literary magazine. In 1942, Old Hughes was discontinued. In 1928 The Gargoyle, the weekly newspaper was inaugurated. The staff consists of students selected by Miss Hazel Koppenhoefer, sponsor, and teacher of Journalism. The Hughes Annual was first printed in 1870. Its purpose is to record activities and achievements of the students of Hughes for the year. It is published by editors and business managers elected by the senior class. Both The Gargoyle and Hughes Annual have been awarded honors from Ohio State University, National Scholastic Press Association of the University of Minnesota, and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. For the Hughes-Withrow game, a booklet, giving the history of the rivalry and line-ups for the game, is printed each year. Every other year, the Gargoyle staff edits this booklet. The Student Handbook is printed primarily for the use of freshman when they enter -Hughes. This book acquaints new students with the rules, activities and history of Hughes. It is edited by the Journalism Class and sponsored by Student Council. Page fweniy The Girl in fhe Broad Brimmed Haf, painfed by Frank Duveneck, hangs in Mrs. Leroy's office.
