f— THE-GRAPV©IS— f— L. P. Frohardt was the founder of (he Granite City Public School System. He has established a unique record in the educational field. Few there are who can say they have guided the schools of a community from a one room build- ing to a system of four thousand pupils and one hundred fifteen teachers. Such a person can not help but be an inspiration to any locality. Surely the youth of Granite City can find no more nearly perfect example of aspiration, faith in an ideal, perseverance and endurance than in our esteemed superintendent. Mr. Frohardt.

f— THE-6RArV©IS--t BERNICE HACKLEY VERNA DIEHLE offer two avenues of preparation. If a boy or girl is industrially inclined, the Homemaking course for t he girls and the Shop courses for the boys give abund- ant chance for preparation for life. In the last, the boy has opportunity to take Machine Shop, Patternmaking, Electrical Shop, Drafting, or Vocational Chemistry. With these shop courses go a complete group of related subjects, such as Drafting. English, Science, Mathematics. Hygiene and Social Science. Service is the guiding principle of the school from start to finish. We hope it will always remain so. The school and its faculty, the Board of Edu- cation and the patrons are always striving to make it possible for our young people here to get a good and a straight start up the ladder of success. “We demand that big business give people a square deal; in turn, we must insist that when anyone engaged in big business honestly endeavors to do right, he shall himself be given a square deal.
