Typical is this shot of Mr. H. H. Helble, Appleton High School's principal, at his desk, surrounded by papers and en- grossed in the countless activities which make him one of the state's busiest school heads. In the rolling river valley, Where the Fox flows by, A famous high school rears the banner 'Appleton' on high. CXYOR many years citizens of Appleton have dreamed of a new high school building that was to be worthy of the ideals for which democracy stands. ln 1938 this dream was at last realized, and today we are enjoying one of the finest, most beautiful, and most completely equipped buildings in the state, a monument to education and tangible evidence of the progress education has made. lt should be and is a challenge for achievement to both students and teachers. On the morning of September seventh, principal and faculty welcomed fourteen hundred and fifty students who were impatiently waiting to enter the new high school. Each senior, junior, and sophomore must have earnestly resolved that he would attempt to be worthy of the privilege that was his. Certainly every instructor was anticipating an eventful and a successful year. Perhaps the next highlight in this year of historic firstsf' was the initial lyceum program when students entered the vast auditorium for the first time, That its remarkable beauty and dignity both awed and thrilled them was evidenced by the hushed silence and the spontaneous cheering which followed. It was a most impressive occasion. The excited audience was oppor- tunely reminded by the speaker that success in life is dependent on the goal toward which one strives. - Mgawfrrytsmyrussltf
