THE STEPPING STONE I 9 3 2 M. B. ROGERS, Supc'rin1'w1dent Fac+s About Our High School Two hundred seven students started out in the quest of learning. Sixty-two of these are rural, one hundred forty-five resident. The public library is forever growing. During the year one hundred fifty volumes have been added. A greater opportunity than ever is offered the History students to ubrowsel' about and hap upon books entirely alien to the subject. Mr. Kleis, who came to us from St. Johns, has assumed the teaching of mathematics. But that isn't all-he has become a ready solver of student problems. His congeniality has made him a close friend to every student. Heading the Speech Department, the High School is fortunate in having Mr. Vander Kolk, the principal of Junior High. He is a man more than equal to the task. The choicest material, the very best talent from the whole High School have been engaged in making this yearbook an unusual produc- tion. Unlike other years, this STEPPING SToNE has been edited by the Students' Council instead of the Senior Class, enabling the staff to be chosen from the entire High School. Interest among the lower classmen has been greatly increased, for the book is theirs, too, they have had a great part in its making. The Students' Council has been very ambitious and has done much for the school this year. They decided to become good housekeepers. The pictures in the assembly room were rearrangedg the debating wall plaques were hung in the hallg all the desks and lockers were cleaned Page Sixteen

THE STEPPING STONE I 9 3 2 K T. A. DEWEY, Principal and inspected, the council room has been changed into a reception room, and the furniture from the teachers' room was put there, and several of the students took furniture from home, which was refinished by Mr. Dickrnan. We now have a room in which to receive our guests, The rural students also have a nice, homey room in which to spend their noon hours. The Commercial Department is now occupying Rooms 1 and 2. The addition of a new bulletin board has afforded the opportunity to display the exceptional work of the students. Two students are taking an art course from the International School of Correspondence. The room behind Room 8 has been given them in which to work. A picture of George Washington, contributed by the Commission of Washington, D. C., has been added to our collection. A cemetery and even a toy train featured in the Home Economics health exhibit staged during the week of April 18. It aimed to show the high school students what foods should be eaten and what care their bodies should receive. In the fall, considerable discussion was made on student privileges. There seemed to be some dissatisfaction. A new system of granting privileges resulted. Any student recommended by all of his teachers to be trustworthy may have free use of the building. As a part of their memorial the Senior Class had the stage redecorated for use. Page Sevrnfecn
