' ' M k'k kk' 7 'Z . .... -- V- af-- -. x 'VV' 7 -i ,, ,... .... Under the indomitable spirit and prophetic vision of George VV. WVeit- brecht, our Hrst principal, and the able leadership of Dietrich Lange, our second principal, continuous growth has been the outstanding characteristic of hflechanic Arts High School. It all began in 1894 with an enrollment of less than 200, and outside of a few minor set-backs the school grew steadily until today we have an enrollment of over 2200 distributed as follows: Seniors, 5985 Juniors, 7055 Sophomores, 7943 and Post-graduates, 94. The faculty numbering 12 in 1898 has increased to 73 at present. The graduating class has grown from 14 in 1896 to 470 listed for graduation in June of this year. So, from a very modest beginning Nlechanic Arts has developed to its present proportions and inculcated within every boy and girl that passed through its halls an abiding spirit of loyalty and cooperation that will carry them far. Nlay we all cherish and perpetuate the spirit that has not only made Nlechanics large, but will greatly contribute to our success after leaving school. Long live our school! -HOMER E. HILLARD.

Our new gymnasium, added two years ago, shifted several departments in the main building. Our beautiful library and our spacious lunch room were made possible by the removal to the new Wing of our physical training work. Before that time one by one the ends of the short halls were boarded off and given over to class rooms. The experiment room next the physics labora- tory was taken over, the botany room, the modeling room, and the large bookkeeping room were each divided. The long hall in the fourth floor was changed to make three new recitation rooms. The big mechanical drawing room was cut into three, the old wood shop became two mechanical drawing rooms. The three locker rooms in the basement became four class rooms. In the twenty-two years of our life in what we used to call the new school we have added twenty-five additional rooms. Is it not as true now as then to sing: And now we have that school, boys, and deep down in our hearts, We feel the joy of being true to dear Mechanic Arts. --MABEL A. COLTER. Page Fifteen ?
