THE CRESCENT, 1922 I E. M. OSBORN MRS. CLAUDE WRIGHT SAMUEL AURELIUS The Board of Education TO THE READERS OF THE 1922 CRESCENT: It is with genuine pleasure that this short greeting is written. our support of this enterprise of the Senior Class and of all other High School activities is highly appreciated and has been the effective means of giving us the success we have achieved. We hope for a continuance of this support and promise that we shall strive to merit it. The High School itself has had a most amazing growth, increasing from 350 to 500 in five years and requiring the services of twenty-two teachers where formerly fifteen could easily take care of the work. Some new dpart-ments have been added, including Vocational Agriculture and Commercial subjects. These have amply justified their introduction. A large number of young men are being instructed in the better methods of scientific farming and encouraged to become and remain tillers of the soil, an occupation which is becoming more and more attractive. At the same time the Commercial Department is acquainting both boys and girls with a kind of practical knowledge which not only fits for commercial occupations, but also helps in all other walks of life. There has been much improvement in the. academic work. Never before hav so many young people been interested in literary work. The Debating Club has increased in popularity and effectiveness. A Dramatic Society has been organized and has begun to function. The prospect is good for a live literary society to foster the creative genius in poems, essays, and other literary forms. Much can be done with the help and encouragement of the patrons. We are gratified to know that a new gymnasium is to be built by the citizens and hope for more classrooms for our High School. We know that you will give us these improvements when you realize our need. With best wishes, ARTHUR W. KONOLD, Superintendent.
