T 920399 How we loved thee? Yes, when we played, we played hard, when we worked, we worked hard also. We absorbed academic subject matter, we tried our hand at various trade and occupational situations, we learned to get along with others, and we attempted to measure our capabilities and find a use- ful channel for them. We acquired the feeling of responsibility, a respect for others, an un- derstanding of democracy and our place in it, and finally-but definitely not the least-a sense of values which would stand us in good stead in the future. VVe met many people during our high school days. Some were good, some not so good, all had their effects on us. We would remember good teachers and mediocre teachers. We would recall good friends and mediocre friends. No matter what course our lives took in the post graduate days, they were unmistakably shaped and molded by the experiences which came to us during our high school days. Undoubtedly, good or bad luck, success or oblivion were destined to our individual classmates. Years hence it would be a great source of amusement to peruse these and the other pages of this annual, saying to ourselves, I remember him when . . .D This was our senior hnmeroom, and it also served as a study hall.

Instead. we sup- plied only the minimum stimuli, trusting that these would suttice in bringing back classroom memories to us as individuals. As students at Crawfordsville High School, we were privileged to enroll in a curriculum of our choosing, subject to. of course, competent guidance from our advisers and parents. Open to us were the fields of College Preparatory, Busif ness Education. Art. General, Vocational Homemaking. and Vocational Agricul- ture. XVe were also able to experiment in publication work. dramatics, machine shops, athletics, music. and many others. A popular course was Drivers, Training. which helped produce more competent vehicle operators at a time when such operators were needed direfully.
