THE BULLDOGS' BATTLEFIELD ' 62156 Lackey Field! No more appropriate name could have been given the new athletic field. lt is a recognition, but in a very small measure. of the services our superintendent has rendered to the Midland Public Schools. We know that this splendid and beautiful physical education plant is the realization of an ideal which our Board of Education has long had in mind. The vision appeared years ago and grew until, in the dedication services on October 24, 1930, it had reached its culmination in being no longer a vision but a reality. We are justly proud of Lackey Field and feel that too much credit can not be given 'to our Board members for their zeal and proficient and unselfish service in behalf of our schools. -P flmiliat- Page Seven!

TO OUR PRINCIPAL in an db There's a man in dear old Midland High We love him: respect him-he is our stand by D. D. Shiflett, our principal, whom all of us know. I-Ie took us in charge just five years ago. We're proud of D. D., and we're proud of his looks I-Ie's like the hero we read of in books. And he always has time for a nod or a smile, A friendly one, you know, that just suits his style. We know there is nothing that he can't do. When he starts a thing, he'll see it through. For chemistry or physics or what ever science there is, This principal of ours is a perfect Hwhizf' As a singer, he's really made quite a name. As an athlete, too, he's acquired great fame, For he plays and enjoys almost every sport On the gridiron, the diamond, or tennis court. A more efficient principal we've never seen: Peace and quiet have reigned in his regime: Without him I don't know just what we'd do. V We'll need him always-Now isn't that true? PgN
