Angola High School - Key Yearbook (Angola, IN)

Page 7 text:

THE KEY I The Key is published annually by the senior elass. Its publication is a kind of tradi- tion ; no one stops to think exactly why it is published. In 1901 the senior class published a booklet as a souvenir of the Class of Nine- teen One and resume of the year ' s work. ' ' This is a very good definition of a high school year book. If we look at it from a sentimental view point, we can say that the Key records our joys and sorrows, our laughter and tears. ■ If we consider it from a viewpoint more pro- saic, we see that it is a graphic record of the organizations and activities. Whatever you want to call it, ve hope that you will enjoy it and keep it as a remembrance of a year in high school. Styles and faces change and a Key soon becomes antiquated, but the value grows as the years pass. Who knows? This book may be read in the year 2034! Page three A N G O L A I G l-l

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF By JOHN L. ESTRICH Long and eventful years have elapsed since the first edition of the Angola High School aiaiual, The Spectator, was issued in 1905. A casual examination of that book is highly diverting, although it was not intended to be a humorous publication. Cus- toms, styles, transportation, methods of teaching — all have changed. So rapidly indeed luive these changes come that to us those high school students seem to have lived in another kind of world. One is compelled to acknowledge, however, that we are still in the midst of changing conditions, and that in all probability the pages of this thirtieth Angola High School annual will be as diverting to the high school students of 1963 as the 1905 publi- cation is to us. Do we then live in a fool ' s paradise of our own making? Will our contril)utions to the life of tomorrow be dismissed with a wave of the hand or made a subject of .jest ? The answer is evident : part of life is transient ; customs change, styles are ephem- eral, the kind of e(iuipages we use are sul)ject to the mutations of time, but much of life endures. Permanent contributions ma,y be made in the field of personal character and civic ideals. Tlie stalwart Pilgrim Fathers are still a i ()tent force in American life, al- though the type of material surroundings under which they lived has long since been superseded by more advanced types. Few of us would want to trade our homes vnth their modern conveniences for Mt. Vernon as it was in George Washington ' s day, but who will say that George Washington is not still a living force in determining American ideals? The great task begun in 1776 is far from completion. It is the responsibility of the class of 1934 to make new contributions in the fields of character, citizenship, and culture that will permain-iitly ciii-ich tlicir school, their community, and thcii ' state.

' Dip work tables have tops made of a mag- nesium and wood pulp coudiiiiation, which cleans easily and retains no stains. There are three sinks, too, which are placed between two tables. A large, built-in cu])board covers the en- tii-e wall to the south : tliis holds the dishes, pots and pans, and the groceries necessary. A small store room between the kit- chen and the cafeteria provides a place for tlie storing of fur- tlii ' i ' necessities. .j We leave the kitchen and visit the ai ' t room on the second flooi ' . The odor of fresh paint fills the room and we realize at once that it is a workshop. On the front wall hangs a repiro- (liii-tiou of the famous painting, The 8ong of the Lark. lther famous pictures greet one ' s eye as he glances around. A ase of flowers adorns the teacher ' s desk. A well supplied liiiilt-iu cupl)oai-d occupies tiie entire west wall. The drawing desks are modern and comfortable, just the kind at which a student may sit and bring to life beneath his drawing pencil tile ideas flitting through his mind. Leaving the art room, we journey d(jwn the hall to the commercial and typing rooms. Opening the door, we hear the tap, tap, tapity tap ' ' of tlie eleven typewriters.
