A PROJECTION GOOD WILL To Professor P. A. Allen, founder and superin¬ tendent emeritus of the P. A. Allen High School— ever an understanding friend of youth—a man beloved by all who know him—a man who always inspired us to higher ideals—we, the Class of 1940, dedicate this Retrospect.

History class taught by Miss Shively. Physics class under Mr. Park. Literature class under Mr. McNown. Algebra class taught by Mr. McMasters. ON THE SET FUTURE FAMOUS STARS The actors and actresses of B. H. S. who who contemplate a college or university education take the academic course, which prepares them for the further training that is desired. ENGLISH The ability to make the proper use of the English language is essential in correctly portraying our part in the drama of life. Miss Powers, Miss Monger, and Mr. Mc¬ Nown direct our preparations for securing this ability and gaining poise and ease in our everyday conversations. They furnish us with a background of English and Amer¬ ican Literature, whereby we acquire an appreciation of good and worthwhile prose and poetry. FOREIGN LANGUAGE “Variety is the spice of life.” Life would be quite drab without the aid of some for¬ eign language now and then. Our instructor, Miss Karns, has taught us in the correct way to read, write, and understand Latin and German. Latin proves especially helpful in establishing the meanings of English words, many of which are of Latin derivation. The German students learn to read and translate German with ease and to write in the grand old German style. MATH Concentration is very helpful and necessary power in acquiring efficiency in what¬ ever work we undertake. Mathematics is an invaluable aid to the mastery of this power. Commercial arithmetic will be of great benefit to our future secretaries and business men. Algebra, which deals with literal numbers, and geometry, which deals with the proof and application of propositions, will be of unending service to the future engineer. Mr. Park and Mr. McMasters direct this training. 6
