The quality ofthe food and the way in which it was served made its appeal to me, and after the meal was finished I made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, who were responsible for the success of the cafeteria. After expressing my gratitude for such a pleasant and inspir- ing morning, I left K McKinley High feel- ing that I had indeed had a Wonderful experience. I wished with all my heart that the beloved President McKinley might have been there to see the things which I had seen. ' MARGARET WATKINS, '23. Jr QL X ?

' Mhz jlflciainlepite ey' '23 ' -it I 0622+ collided with Mr. Pottorf who had been look- ing for me and I was quite ready by that time to be led around. The gymnasiums were our first stopping places and I was very much impressed with the work being done toward the physical education of Cantonls future citizens. I was very glad to meet the physical instructors, Miss Williams and Mr. Wieck who were responsible for the splendid work being done. Upon my request I was next ushered into the furnace room, for I had a great desire to learn how so large a building was heated. Mr. Thomas, the engineer, politely ex- plained the system to us and the ventilation system also proved very interesting. I was much impressed to discover how many persons and things contributed to the life of McKinley High. The manual training classes were next brought to my attention and the fruits of their labors were proudly displayed by Mr. Pottorf. Indeed they were worthy of pride. We were about ready to leave when a bell sounded five times in quick succession. I thought it must be for a fire l I drill, but Mr. Pottorf informed me that there -2 was to be an assembly and invited me to attend. ' My interest and curiosity knew no bounds ,,, ,Q as I watched the students pour into the spa- cious and beautiful auditorium. I had never .1 seen so many people together before and it rather over-awed me. That feeling grew as the assembly progressed. The Rotary Club was on the stage and several of its members rendered interesting talks, all of which bor- dered on the basketball game with Massillon which was to be played that night. Everyone was in a high pitch of excitement and the yells led by Fred Craig and Ted Phillips, added to the enthusiasm. But, when from two exits in the rear the band appeared in their attractive red and black uniforms and paraded up and down the aisles playing a fascinating air, the excitement reached its height. I had never experienced anything so thrilling in all my life before and I was curious to know if every assembly was like that one. I learned that several prominent men had spoken to McKinley's pupils. Among them were: Carl H. Sunberg, Reverend Day, Reverend Kerst, Honorable J. H. Himes, Theo. E. Burton, Edgar Davies, Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, Reverend A. S. Wil- son, Dr. Barker, Guy Chamberlain, Jamie Heron, Joe Mitchell Chapple, and H. B. Webber. Soon after the assembly the bell rang for the noon hour. I couldn't help but reflect what a prominent place the bell had in the life of the high school. Its- summons sent every door open and every pupil hurrying down the hall. It was really surprising how rricany little things counted in the high school li e. 911416 T
