,,kmx s sw e ffct X A Dream Come True For several years the school library consisted of a narrow space at the rear of the assembly hall, with barely room enough for four tables, a dozen chairs, and a few book cases against the wall. But we were happy to have this toe-hold fit was too small to be called a foot-holdj and every year the state Fire Nlarshall solemnly told me it was a great fire hazard and contrary to all law. However, visions and dreams were a-stir in our heads, and all our plans were prefaced by when we get a new libraryf, At last things began to happen. The new gym was a-buildingg the old gym was seething with new paraphernalia from the enlarged lunch-roomg and what had been the old running track was working itself into the new library. Then, moving-day came, and the books were carried in jubilant proces- sion into the new quarters where new books and new equipment were awaiting them. The new day for the school library had dawnedl But students today know what a spacious, altogether delightful place it is. Our friends and old Gradsw must visit us to see for themselves. This picture shows but one busy group which is truly typical of every period of the day. 'NETTIE L. DUGAS. Page Nineteen

lasses S soon as man emerged from his cave he began to build: a hut, a Great Wall, a pyramid, a Coliseum, an Empire State skyscraper. The spirit of the architect belongs to him who seeks knowledge, who strives for progress. Thus build- ing has always been the symbol of learning, of growth in body, mind, and spirit. Our high school Classes, therefore, we represent as structures nearing completion, the senior, the junior, and the sophomore being the master builders. On the opposite page, our artist, David Quail, has used buildings to symbolize Classes. life are all blind until we .ref That in tha human plan Nothing if worth the making if It don not make the man. llfhy build these citief gloriouf If man unbuildfd gun?
