Lucy E. Hobbs DEDICATION When considering someone who has shown a spirit of educational progress as well as realistic achievement toward the building of a greater Central High School, and one who would be an authority on the progress of Central because of her faithful and continuous service here, and one who is always willing to do her share toward a higher education, we could find no one who quite measured up to this ideal other than Miss Hobbs. Although there are several other teachers in Central High School who have served as long and longer, none can surpass or measure in achievement and willingness, a greater desire for a more progressive high school life than she. Her achievements outside of Central have been many and varied. Because of her executive ability and fine leadership, she has served the state of Iowa in many ways, such as President of the State Teacheris Association, member of the Educational Council. of the State Teacher's Association, member of the State English Curriculum Committee, Chairman of the Iowa State Teacher,s Annuity Committee, member of the Sioux City Woman's Club, member of the American Association of University Women, and a member of the Y. W. C. A. Her abilities are further substantiated in the ways she has served education at Central High School, such as, President of the High School Teacheris Association, Chairman of the English Department, Adviser of the Creative Writers Club, insti- gator of a course which resulted in the publishing of the Record at weekly intervals, Adviser of the Record for one year, and Debating Coach of the Chrestomathian Literary Society for several years. One is, then, not at all surprised to learn that she is the deserving possessor of three degrees, namely, B. Di., Iowa State Teachers, College, B. S., Cornell College, and M. A., Iowa State University. Some people merely attempt-you, Miss Hobbs, have achieved, and to you, there- fore, we respectfully and gratefully dedicate the 1933 Maroon and White.

AS A MEMBER OF THE FACULTY VIEWS IT When I joined the faculty of Sioux City High, the original HCastle'7 stood in majesty in the center of the block, a beautiful unit of architecture. As one entered through the south door, he saw a wide hall from which ascended a broad stairway to the upper floor. The impression was one of space and dig- nity. Earlier teachers, some of whom have since joined university faculties, had supervised the selection and arrangement of pictures and statuary with aesthetically pleasing results. Six or seven hundred young people, pulsing with life and ambition, further adorned the premises. Since thcn, two additions have been made. The fact that a stone building of unique architecture, erected to accommodate perhaps six hundred, could bc enlarged to four times that capacity, is a tribute to the skill of the architects and the good taste of those who have had the responsibility of accepting or rejecting blue prints. In its greater proportions our castle is still beautiful and satisfying, the cynosure of all eyes, and twenty-two hundred students, lively, hopeful, and ambitious as of old, but add to its attractiveness. Greatly as the building has expanded, it has scarcely kept pace with a growing curriculum. From the original plan to prepare a privileged few for college, we have progressed until our objective is now to gather into the castle every young person of high school age within its territory, and to furnish an educational program that looks toward complete living, in school as well as out. The commercial, manual training, domestic arts, electrical, co-op auto trade, normal, art, music, printing, and physical education courses have been added one by one to meet new needs. Even within the old liberal arts courses, the emphasis has shifted from the linguistic and classical to science, history, and social studies. Sometimes as a result of educational leadership, but more often at the request of the public, we have laid aside the outworn and accepted in its place whatever would prepare youth to cope with a changing social order. The young people who are enjoying these enlarged privileges, present a cross section of the life of the city. Its varied industries, creeds, racial back- grounds, and social distinctions are all represented. The young people of today may not be so deeply studious as their predecessors, but they seem to be more alert, richer in experiences, and more realistic in facing the problems of life. Qin!!-ff

'T X ' THE FOLLETT HQUSE The Armstrong school building, which was once considered to be very spacious, finally became so overcrowded that it was quite impossible to try to keep all the school classes there, as the Board of Education had done for the past few years. Although a new High School building was anticipated for the future, it was not possible to construct it until later. At last the high school students were moved into a building called uThe Old Follett House, which was located on Nebraska Street, between Twelfth and Thir- teenth Streets. This structure, which was a large, white, wood building, had for- merly been the home of a well-to-do Sioux City resident, and was commonly called HThe Old Follett Housef, It should be remembered as being the first building in Sioux City that was used for High School classes alone. The High School faculty and students were almost overwhelmed with pride when, at last, they were given a building which was devoted to their interests entirely. At last the primary grades were left behind and the High School came into its own. The plan of having the High School located in g'The Follett House was originally only a temporary arrangement to take care of the overcrowded condition in the Armstrong School. ln spite of this fact, however, the building served over a period of years as the home of the Sioux City High School. g'The Follett House School was eventually moved to a lot between Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets, while they used its original site for a new school house.
