PRINCIPAL MR. HERMAN YLVISAKER Not long ago two hundred scientists, engineers, and mathematicians gathered at Harvard University to look at and study a fantastic new machine, a giant calculator which accepts figures in floods and mazes and, quick as a wink,gives answers. Our modern world is filling with marvelous machines, some small enough to be held in the palm of a hand, others large as buildings. All are the product of man's imagination and know-how. All must be run by men, we hope, for the benefit of mankind. War brought forth machines which can destroy civilization. Peace can create machines that can make the world a better, happier place for all peoples. This can become true, if education, which means schools like our own Leyden, can train young men and women to become the masters and not the slaves of the machine. It is important in youth that we learn how to run the machine - how to make a living. It is more important that we learn how to live in a modern world when the machine can be used to destroy as well as to build. Hi

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MR. WADE STEEL If you are ever called down to the office for a chat with Mr, Steel, you can rest assured that he will give you a square deal. Friendship and'sincerity of actions are what make our trouble shooter a right guy. He doesn't have a high opinion of people who are tardy. This includes teachers, pupils, or even his own wife. He enjoys hunting and trout-fishing. His main ambition is to own a cattle ranch, name your own location as he isn't fussy; as he so ably puts it, A big ranch, about 10,000 acres. When asked how he would spend a million dollars if it suddenly came upon him, he said that he would first travel around the world, then settle down and buy a ranch. How well are Leyden students prepared for a machine age? Mr. Steel's answer to this reflects the character and philosophy of a man endeared to Leyden. At Leyden, we are attempting to educate for life or living, Subject matter is not so important as being able to meet a situation as it arises. Leyden students have the ability to make a better world and should do so. With these closing words, we left the office of W. A. Steel, Assistant principal, Leyden Community High School. 15
