raw .R N C 2 Xi 'K is M' X UNDAUNTED . . . Church spires and factory smokef stacks alone rival in height the far' famed tower of john Marshall. Wesf ley Methodist is to the north. To the south is Sacred Heart, to the south' east is the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, while on the west is the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. Also punctuating the skyline are the spires of Craee Methodist, Dewey Avenue l'resbytcrian, Holy Rosary, and the Church of the Ascension. Snugly nestled among the spires are the homes of the Tenth Wztrders. Blackened smokestacks of the neighf boring factories daily pour forth dense clouds of smoke. They typify the large volume of production un' dertaken by the manufacturing plants and the small independent merchants who give employment to the people of this community. Large and small, they are all doing their part in this great war struggle. Marshall's tower is and will be a focal point in the surrounding area. From it radiate abstract knowledge and practical skills of many kinds in ever widening circles of outreach. page six MCCMMON IN GOAL ... Many years ago in the semifdark ages of 1915, Kodak High School was born, the offspring of Kodak Grammar School and the namesake of Kodak Park. Through 27 years of the high school's history, the factory and school have been the most congenial neighbors. In 1926 Kodak Park displayed its good sportsmanship by not feeling slighted when the name of the high school was changed to John Marshall. Their intimacy continued, and Kodak's eight o'clock morning whistle served as an ever' present alarm for lucky students living within a few minutes' walk of Marshall. This same whistle called over at twelve and again at one o'clock each day. Besides letting Marshall use its tennis courts, Kodak's two friendly chimneys have been landmarks for lost eighth grad' ers knowing that Marshall lies somewhere in a radius of a few blocks. A large percentage of students' parents are employed at Kodak. In the course of time, hundreds of Marshall graduates have found employment there and in other Rochester indusf tries. They find the highest working standards. They find recreational and athletic organizations, musical clubs, and various kinds of entertainment for their employees. Marshall and Rochester industries like Kodak have the same perfectfscore policy. Their goals are 100 per cent in workmanship and in campaigns. Marshall has endeavored to train students in a 100fperfcent manner, and industry expects the same almost perfect work from them. E ag. 5 fi 5 ..- 4 5 , V . Ls w
