FOREWORD The school year of 1948-1949 is fast drawing to a close. And once again an- other MEDICINE RCCK annual will take its place upon the bookshelf. To some of us the end of this year will bring to a temporary standstill the plea- sant associations with our classmates and teachers, but for others it will mean the severing of the closely knit bonds that have taken shape during the last four years. Within these covers are set down many of the activities and occasions which have helped to make this year one of our best years. We hope that as you leaf through the pages that you will recall pleasant experiences and fond memories of the things that have now taken their place on the pedestals of the past.

ADMINISTRATION William C. Rowley has been principal of the Carter County High School since 1933. From 1925-1933 he was superintendent of the Ekalaka Public School. In addition to his administration and super- visory duties Mr. Rowley has taught several classes each year. lie has taught all com- mercial subjects, mathematics, and some social studies. The last few years he has been teaching three classes of mathematics. Carter County High School Board of Education meets once every month to discuss the problems of the school. Problems ot students and teachers are aired and solved and, in general, every means is used to keep the school running efficiently. The new Carter County high school was finished during the summer of 1938, and the first classes entered the following fall. The building was a great improvement over the old one with more classroom and laboratory space, better heating and lighting, improved sanitary facilities, and a large gymnasium. A well-stocked library, a music room, science laboratories, stage, and a comfortable study hall are also listed as improvements. Soon after transferring to the new building, physical education, geology, shorthand, and band were added to the curriculum to give the school a variety of courses from which the students could choose. The administration is now considering the addition of the Smith-Hughes Vocational Agriculture course and home econom- ics to the list. If these are added the students will be benefited by one of the best courses of study offered in the state.
