CHARLES MARSH The Class of 1939 regrets sincerely that due to ill health Mr. Marsh found it necessary, in the middle of the year, to resign as principal. We wish for him health and happiness. We feel that we have missed a great deal in not having him to interpret in his own particular way history in the making in these trying times. BURT JOHNSON The Seniors of 1939 are proud to be the first class to graduate under Mr. john- son, our new principal, who assumed his duties during the latter part of the school year. We wish 'him well and bespeak for him the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire student body. SENIOR MEMOIRS

1939 A Preview of the World of Tomorrow Engineers, architects, designers, scientists and even 'botanists have combined their skill to produce one of the most magnificent projects ever known to man, the New York World's Fair. Rising above this array of curiously designed and colored buildings is the famed symbol of the fair, the Trylon and Perisphere. The Trylon is a slender seven hundred foot tri. angular pyramid or obelisk. The Perisphere is the .huge two hundred foot ball connected with the Trylon by a ramp sixty-five feet above the ground. The Perisphere contains the theme exhi-bit of the fair, The City of Tomorrow. The New York World's Fair surpasses the world's fair recently held in Chicago and is considerably larger than the simultaneous attraction-The Golden Gate Inter- national Exposition held on San Francisco's Treasure Island. There are approximately three hundred and seventy-five buildings situated on the fair grounds. One hundred and seventy are huge exhibit structures and amusement concessions. The Fair Corporation constructed about one-t-hird of these and located them in strategic places in order that they might serve as a control of the architecture of buildings constructed -by exhibitors. The other two hundred buildings are minor structures ranging from information booths and concessions to pumping stations. In all, about two hundred tons of paint were used to cover these buildings.
