J.. f'-H' Since 1909 but . The school has had a great history. It has a greater future. This is a quotation from the first Bloomington High School yearbook to be called the GOTHIC. In 1909, the senior class published the first GOTHIC, For fifty years Bloomington High School and the GOTHIC have grown together. In 1909 school was held in the Seminary Building, the only building on campus. There were eighteen teachers and a student body of two hundred sixty-two. The GOTHIC of 1909 was the largest high school annual in the state. It consisted of one hundred twenty-two oblong pages bound in a blue paper cover. In 1959 our campus is made up of eight buildings. There are eighty-seven teachers on the faculty, and our present enroll- ment is 2175. The GOTHIC has grown to the college-size yearbook you see now. For fifty years the GOTHIC has given continuous service to Bloomington High School, its graduates, and the community. .. as ...J al

Knowledge is as important to each individual as growth. If our growth is stunted, we will be underdeveloped, if our knowledge is stunted, we will not be prepared to take our place in todays world. This knowledge includes get- ting along with people, the ability to laugh at our own mistakes, the courage to assume responsibility, and the capacity to participate effectively. From the time we spent in the classroom, we gain knowledge of the world around us. We learn of the wonders of science, the beauty of art and music, the value of being able to express ourselves, and the usefulness of our talents. The most lasting value gained in the classroom is an inquiring mind, Wlien we are challenged and want to know why and how, we are better prepared to face the future. Knowing how to get along with people is a necessity for a well-rounded life. Through the clubs we join, the friends we make, the fun we have, and the mistakes we make, we learn to give and develop a sense of humor. Participation in sports helps to develop a sound, healthy individual. For the participant and spectator alike, sports give a sense of fair play and loyalty. In these many phases of school life, we have found the key to our future.
