WHAT IS A HIGH SCHOOL An inquiring person passing Some high school students one day. Stopped them and asked the question, VV hat is a high school, pray? The students were heard to answer, It's a building of wood and brick VVith classrooms, teachers, and pupils And many a volume thickf' But llve heard so much about itf' The inquisitor did reply, mls there nothing more to tell me Than the things that meet the eye? The companions o-f my story Then regarded him thoughtfully. And one was quick to answer But careless, as you shall see. It's four long years of studying Some things you'd rather miss, YVhile unsympathetic teachers Are scolding for that and this. It,s learning nothing that's useful, The same old routine all the time. Or writing notes out of boredom QVVhich is often considered a crime. j .lu lx + --1 - IVFK But the other thought more deeply And answered in words like this: A high school means years of study You wouldn't want to miss. It's a preparation, a proving ground, Striving earnestly to learn. It's working together, giving your best, And gaining friends in return. lt's the pep of the town, the fun of sports And building a level head, A spirit that's part of a person,s life. That lives on in the days ahead. Then wisely the passer-by replied, From what you've said I take it That the answer depends upon each one, A high school is what you make it. VV ell might we heed that conversation, 'Tis true of schools and lives. The things one reaps depend upon The things toward which he strives. Yes, every one in high school Can build his school or break it. Letls work together to build the best, For a high school is what you make it!

Yea Uhfig, Yea, yea, Coach Ehrigl COACH EHRIG Mr. llhrig, our coach, has been with us for two and a half years, joining us in the middle of the basketball season of 1946. Wfe have enjoyed much success during the years he has been with us, but this was the best. He has been our coach in football, track, basketball, and has taught boys' physical education. All of the boys that have played under him think he is all right. They like him and play very hard for him. Under his careful guidance the boys have really tried to win and bring home trophies for him and the school. I-le graduated from LaSalle-Peru high school in the year 1931, where he earned letters in football, track and basketball. After graduating from high school he went to Marquette College. He was the starting center in basketball, a position at which he starred for two years. Mr. Ehrig is kept very busy being coach and teaching classes of physical education, al- gebra, and geometry. Under him the won and lost column shows that we have won several more games than we have lost in his two and one-half years with us. This year we had a very successful season, having beaten our bitter but friendly rivals on occasions in football, basketball and track. lVe are happy to note that this yearbook is dedicated to him.
