and teachers, and the whole communtiy became his debtor. For two years after the resignation of Captain Stivers, the position was held by Malcolm Booth and from 1897-1900, Mr. William B. Werthner was principal. He was followed by Charles L. Loos Jr., a man most beloved and greatly respected. In 1895 a deviation in the school's history took place in the introduction of single daily sessions, extending from half past eight to one o'clock. At the first, this was not saticfactory but with some modifications it has proved to be successful and has lasted until the present time. The Physicsulaboratory is doubtless one of the finest in the country. The library, which at that time was comprised of two thousand volumes, has been steadily increased until now we have the benefit and pleasure of a library of between 4500 and 5000 books. V At the suggestion of a pupil, Sherlock Gass, and through the efforts of Miss Elizabeth Evans, a teacher, the Decorative Art Association was organized. This was in 1899 and the society was able, in the following years, to place throughout the building a large number of photographs, paintings, casts, and sculptures. They were aided in their work by small fees collected from students and generous donations from various sources. Their last valuable addition to the school was the statue of The Lion. Athletics have always played a large part in the life of Steele students, both girls and boys. Besides training in ordinary gymnastics we have had our defeats and victories in baseball, basketball, and football. For some years past we have held the State Championship in football and the 1921 Squad carried from the Gridiron the trophies of the Middle-West. Back in the days when Old Central High was still the school there was only one boy's literary society, the old Philomathean which was founded in 1858. In 1856 the Eccritean, the first girl's society was formed and in 1883 the Spur was organized. There -are now many societies, both literary and otherwise, which have been organized and encouraged through able supervision. Along with our activities are the interscholastic debates. These have been held with the high schools of Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, and we are proud of their record. -- ' Interest in music has been manifested in our musical societies, our orchestra, and in the presentation of concerts and operas. Steele's curriculum has been modernized and the school has grown and will continue to grow in public interest. New subjects have been introduced, specially trained instructors have been acquired 5 the courses, as far as possible, have been made effective, manual training and the household arts, printing and comercial courses have been instituted. A What Steele has been and the spirit she has displayed in the past are merely harbingers of the future. Her students, under the guiding hand of our present principal, Mr. I. H. Painter, will pull together to make it a greater and nobler Steele. Margaret Kepler '22 PAGE TEN
