Mr. Gilman Lane With y i?j?recia lion More than any+hinq else a yearbook is a picture book, and for many years at our school Gilman Lane has super¬ vised the pictures for Tabula. Let ' s ask ' Mr. Lane to take a picture of it. Each year for more than thirty years people all over the school have said this, and for all of that time Mr. Lane, and the photography staffs that he has trained, have responded by puttinq on film a record of the events and the organizations and the scenes that make up school life. Mr. Lane, who is a member of the Industrial Arts Department, is a person whose approval means a great deal. If he says that a picture is good, you know that it is good; if he says that a layout needs to be changed, then you know that it needs to be changed. He works with dis¬ crimination and a sure sense of artistic values, and the people who work with him learn from him. It is with real affection and respect that we on staff dedicate this volume of Tabula to Mr. Lane. a [7]

Dr. Youngert has also given his attention and support to another sort of building. In his sixteen years here, the school plant has been greatly improved. Seniors will remem¬ ber that within the last four years the field- house has been enlarged and remodeled, and the heating plant brought up-to-date. Before that, the entire main building was rewired and the lighting system was reno¬ vated, the front hall and the corridors were modernized, the auditorium was rebuilt and made fire-safe, and many classrooms were improved.
