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.

QALACK FROM THE EDITOR'S PEN THE PAST Another year has rolled around, another class will leave these halls, another is soon to come, another issue of the annual has reached your hand. Time has passed, the world has turned to the ever-chang- ing rhythm of new ideas, new personalities, new events. This years bookmark in the pages of Time opens to a greater trend to- ward modernity, streamlining, realism, sur- realism. In such a manner may our year- book change with the changing Time. So may it progress and develop its graphic message of the years story. THE PRESENT This has been a short year and a full one for all of us. To some, it has been a highlight. a climax to schoolife, to others it holds only the significance of a memor- able achievement: but whatever your re- action, whatever your recollection, we have endeavored to preserve some of it within these pages. In the woven pattern of this book may be doubly precious because of some - half-forgotten face or sen- tence which may release the long-buried chain of recollection. The present -, is commonplace to all of g ' us now, but the past is a ' storehouse to be sorted and filled. ln time, the sig- nilicance of this present will take on new meaning as it becomes the treasured memory of the past. We have no knowledge of what the future has in store, but we may hoard the reminiscenses of the past as a bulwark for what is to come. THE FUTURE With every chime of the hour, every tick of the clock, all the swift pageantry of the present dissolves into the lingering shades of the past. The shadows begin to fall across these pages. Yet Time and the 1939 Red and Black shall march on .... events, we have earnestly sought to bring to you some thread which you may cherish long after this book and its pages have yellowed. The brilliant Alexander Pope penned an immortal truth when he wrote that thoughts are linked by hidden chains and all arise in the memory when one is aroused.
