Foreword Oy dpb Ma A, nN db ftd A rere According to the best authorities a year book must have a theme. We ha a Eve past years such themes as Educaticn for Peace, Education for War, and Pdueetor for Tolerance. The Blue and White staff this year toyed with the ideas of themes such as Treasure Island— we thought the three years at high school were like an island full of treasure that we will never forget — or Mustard Seed — it is “‘the least of all seeds, but when it is grown, it is the greatest of herbs’’ — we thought that here at Classical we get the germ of ideas that will eventually grow into mighty deeds. Finally we decided that high school gives us all these things in as many different measures as there are students in the school. Our education is always for peace, and for war, and for tolerance. The aim of edu- cation is the development of understanding — through the past in the history courses — through the experiences and thoughts of others in the literature courses — through experiences with natural phenomena in our science courses. To the degree we get under- standing, we get tolerance and peace. But also to the degree we get understanding, if war is forced upon us through circumstances beyond our control, we wage war more successfully. Then again our high school days are like a Treasure Island or a Mustard Seed in varying degrees. We became realistic. No matter what fanciful theme we chose, this book would still be only one thing—a chronicle of the activities of Classical in the year 1945-46 with particular attention to the pictures and records of our classmates in the class of 1946. We hope to look at this book twenty years from now with pleasure as we remember our classmates, our teachers, and our school. With that idea in mind we thought a fanciful theme was out of place. We have tried to give as complete a picture of the school as possible. In this book you will find pictures of our principals, our teachers, and our classmates. We have not forgotten the force that operates the building, the custodian, the janitors, and the cooks. All the organizations in the school are pictured. The story of the championship basketball team is told. Classical’s music, drama, and art have their place. Since it is difficult to picture the development of the mind as the student studies the major subjects such as English, history, or science, these subjects have not been given the attention they deserve. In the last section we have tried to remedy this deficiency by picturing the activities of a typical student during a day at school. The Blue and White staff submit this book to the school with the hope that in future years it will serve as a pleasurable reminder of the happy and fruitful days spent at ‘Classical High School.
