ALMA MATER DEDICATED TO LEARNING, Ed1lPllflU7l chrniyfes with the clzruzyinyf fimes. THE THIRTY-NINTH YEAR March of Time Although they are justifiably proud of their high school, Cedar Falls students know little of its past, present, or future. Few realize the fact that 1930 marks the completion of the thirty-ninth year since its founding. For fourteen years alter construction the main building stood alone. Then in J N 1914, increased interest in athletics caused school authorities to resurrect the gymna- sium, then in a basement below the science laboratory, and add a modern building for sport to the left of the main unit. In such a manner the establishment gradually evolved, until now in 1939 Cedar Falls is the posses- sor of an educational plant that promises to become more of a good investment to its sustainers than ever before. Increased tremendously through the years, the student body now overflows classrooms, consists of 323 loyal scholars. But pupil and parent alike do not know that the cost of education for each student is 13 cents for every school hour, or 5125.06 for every year. Multiple-Course Curriculum Each year has witnessed drastic change in the set-up. New courses have been added, new interests and extra-curricular activities make school life more enjoyable. Vocations for the career-minded pupil, home-manage- ment for Cedar Falls' future housewives, the make up the modern teaching era. Mean- while high school departments make addi- tions, subtractions, divisions, and multiply swiftly. New cooperation between student and faculty has made possible more all-school entertainment in the form of parties and. this year for the first time, an ultra-success- ful homecoming. Na1'ion's Reflec+or Cedar Falls reflects the nations rapidly growing trend toward a closer connecting link between education and everyday af- fairs. Education changes with the changing times. New ideas, discoveries, topics are all mirrored in school life. Yet it must be remembered that the success of any school depends on the loyalty and cooperation of the students, the faculty, the school board, and, above all, the support of the citizens of the community.
