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.

TRADITIONS Hughes students enjoy their best year when they are seniors. Their good times are both for fun and for serious accomplishments. Early in the fall, they celebrate Bowtie and Pigtail Day. Boys come to school adorned in bow ties of all sizes and descriptions. Girls wear pigtails and bright ribbons, carry teddy bears and dolls, and lick lollipops. In the evening the senior class gives a dance at which the wearers of the most unusual bow ties and pigtails receive prizes. A little different is the Senior-Junior Prom in the spring. This is a semi-formal dance held in a large ballroom with an orchestra. It is a big event in the lives of seniors and juniors, for the seniors usually invite the junior class. Class officers with a committee plan the affair. Members of the faculty chaperone the dance. The Honor Society, organized in l948, welcomes seniors with four- year averages of ninety or above, and six juniors with the highest scholastic ratings in their class. Members are received in March. The six juniors form the executive body for the next year. The last school day of the year is Senior Class Day. Honors, scholar- ships and other commendations are awarded on this day. On this day, the president of the senior class presents his successor with the Hughes shield, which bears the motto, A'Deo Et Patriaef, A'For God and Country. Seniors pose with heads made by Ari- s+uden+s, for Bow+ie and Pig+ail Day. The Rockwood Founlain, Boy and Dolphin, by Clemen+ J. Barnhorn, is a cen+er for informal mee+ings in 'rhe fronl' corridor.
