On the Wall hung the big old clock and a picture of our hero, General MacArthur. Through the open door We savv a dignified gentle- man, busily dictating to his eiicient secretary. To our amazement, we discovered that this was Mr. Morley, the inspiring and competent principal of this great institution. At that moment We savv, breezing down the hall, Mr. Wiley, superintendent of Cleveland Heights Schools, Who, although he is seldom seen at Heights, keeps in constant touch With our activities. In the first cubby-hole Qcommonly called an officej, adjoining the conference room, sat Mr. Meier, advising a Worried student about his voca- tion, While next door sat helpful Miss Whitsey plotting the future of the college-bound. Earnestly questioning one of the numerous legitimate ex- cuses was Mr. Flint, dean of boys, Who really has hosts of friends among the students. Strolling around the next corner, We chatted with the busy Dean of Girls.

4 if , HE Senior Class this year enters a World torn by tyranny and War-a World in which maps are changing, empires are crumbling, and an entirely new civilization is just begin- ning. Life is not bright or encouraging to graduates this year, for their pre-war plans have suddenly crashed at their feet, and out of the ruins they must build again their hopes and aspirations. Youth is not discouraged nor complaining-they face the future undaunted, optimistic, and confident, strong in the knowledge that it is their duty as the leaders of tomorrow to devote their lives toward creating a free World. The unlim- ited experience, the sound teaching, and discreet and prudent advice of the faculty are a major part in shaping the character of Heights graduates, and are preparing them to face the future courageously-calm in the knowledge that victory is ultimate!

Looking over the shoul- ders of a group of students, we saw them pouring over large atlases and making strange colored lines and spaces on a piece of paper we later recognized as their overdue History maps. In the east room worried English VI students frantically leafed through vocational books, while the west room disclosed multitudes of fiction stories' and biographies, Deciding we were not so intellectually inclined, we hurriedly passed right on by a great selection of reference books!
