'Q :wx fu, if INSTRUCIUR Academically, as students endeavored to attain greater heights of recognition and achieve- ment, the faculty and administration members encourage them in the many departments of Butler High School. ln the classrooms the stu- dents explored the mysterious realms of science, languages, mathematics, and arts. Ideas began to take shape among the formulas, dictionaries, typewriters, and machines. Students found new directions for time and talents through class- room work. Writing research papers, using slide rules, translating Caesar's Gallic Wars, taking dictation, and studying international affairs were only a few of the student under- takings. Efforts were devoted toward applying this-knowledge in every phase and situation of life. The faculty shared valuable experience with the students. The faculty and administra- tion have aided the students in countless ways. The administration always helped the students in their undertakings, whether they were aca- demic, athletic, or social. The constant activity of the administration and faculty is the true foundation of Butler Senior High.
