Harding High School - Quiver Yearbook (Marion, OH)

The old tradition of an outside pep rol- ly was revived this year. It was held in the parking lot of the shopping center on West Center Street; a bonfire at Lincoln Park terminated the activities. After four years of occupancy, our nearly three million dollar high school stands as a monument to democracy. From this public in- stitution there come cultural, vocational, phys- ical, and moral learning. The education which is emitted from the curricula and non-curricula radiates into the community life. Hence, a more intellectual and better adjusted public is produced. The community can be iustly proud of its financial expenditures in behalf of its youth. The 11:42 bell and the sudden stam- pede down the east corridor indicates that lunch is being served. The lunch period is divided into three twenty-five minute periods; serving four hundred students per period.

School organizations help students prepare for their place in the mature world by training them in the service of the community. CHOOL Puzzled students deduce many perplexing problems on their own initiative, but many times they need the capable assistance of the teacher in charge.

Harding is a bee-hive of activity and no pic- ture of our school life would be complete until each area is depicted. Certainly there would be an unexplainable void if activity in the Machine and Auto shops would stop. Here the boys learn from practical experience; seeing is believing when these mechanics tear down, rebuild, and adiust parts. Principles of drafting and printing are expounded and tricks of the trade are really learned. Shelves of our modern library are neatly arranged, but literally do they groan from the weight of the thousands of volumes cover- ing every subiect from A to Z. Truly here is a super highway to knowledge, adventure, and pleasurable reading for students who will but avail themselves of the facilities oFfered. Chemistry formulas are tested, the micro- scopic world becomes real, and the realm of nuclear physics is explored when amateur scientists enter Harding labs, equipped with modern apparatus. Such settings should cause many students to diligently pursue proiects that might bring home blue ribbons from Science Fairs.
