THOU WERT MY GUIDE . . . mln 1185? g . e . , A biuu Mr. Snyder, with so great a responsibility as the guidance of a student body of 1500, must often feel some degree of sympathy and understanding for the legendary Atlas, who supported the world on his shoulders. Behind every well organized and smoothly' running school stands an executive whose days are filled with many wise decisions of inspired leadership. He eagerly encourages cooperation and selffgovernment in the student bodyg but upon its ability to take responsibility and show initiative depend its privileges. Yet a forwardflooking school must relate itself to the problems of its time. Defense influenced the school program through a decided trend toward vocational training, with two outside training courses held at Marshall. Fresh emphasis on the importance of nutrition for health marked the year's events. This was effectively put into practice by the school cafeteria's offering a specially balanced luncheon for ten cents. Probably Mr. Snyder's outstanding responsibility for the year 1942 was the evaluat- ing study made by a commission from the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, under his supervision. Its purpose was to determine the effectiveness of this school in terms of its objectives, and the means by which it may improve.

Churches are numerous and well supported in the Tenth Ward. Social activities and clubs of all kinds flourish. Political organizations are active. A community news- paper, the Tenth Ward Courier, fosters neighborhood unity. Mild, tolerant, sympathetic, and leisurely are the inhabitants of the Tenth Ward. Modesy is admired and aggressiveness discouraged. Formality-genial, friendly for- mality-is preferred, and conservatism is deeply rooted. The temperament of the Tenth Ward is a blend of Dutch solidity, German loyalty and patience, British mild- .s W ,K ,,,-.3W'f'.4qg . . .gf A .MW ' wg- y .siiffv 'Mfr '31 -1.1 I N' ,,.u ...H ' -Q viii-Wi 9 P ' .. , J- X ,-V t r 5'l'gI Ig' --' 'K Jrl ' , .X . ,H ,I ' . --ig . ,, 1 '51 , 'f' 1'1 A. -f ' r 1' - -- 1 ., Q, '- .....

Something of the flavor of Merrie Englande pervades the atmosphere. In John Marshall High School, perhaps more than in any other nerve center in the area, are concentrated the dreams, hopes, and resolves of the future. The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts and the seniors particularly have their eyes fixed on the days ahead. What is our part in the fortunes of war, the achieve- ments of peace, and the continuation of democracy? they wondered as the months elapsed, and what is our part in that finer world which has been the elusive dream of the centuries? The future is supremely important. Yet, because it is to a large extent the pro- jection of past and present, the editors have found themselves this year embracing a broader perspective than ever before. It is stated in a proposition which underlies the planning of this book: THE PROMISE OF THE FUTURE GROWS OUT OF THE TRADITIONS OF THE PAST AND THE REALITIES OF THE PRESENT, BOTH CONSTRUCTIVE AND RECREATIONAL. It is the aim of the editors to provide a few colorful hints of the background as well as a portrayal of the present with its many implications for the future.
