We, the JOURNALISM CLUB of THE PRESENT, sincerely dedicate the seventh edition of The Trojan to the TOMER HIGH SCHOOL of THE FUTURE. We, with our poor vision and our limited knowledge, can in no way foretell what the future holds for our beloved school, but we have faith to believe that from the ashes of the old building, a new and lovely structure will eventually arise, and that from the SCHOOL OF TO-DAY will evolve a newer and a better SCHOOL OF TOMORROW. May Homer High School, that intangible thing, that living, breathing, dynamic solrlt, which is the SOUL of Homer High School, and which is more than building, more than books and equloment, continue to live, and grow, and spread its Influence in an ever-widening circle, until it becomes a power for good in a NEW AND BETTER WORLD. Published by THE JOURNALISM CLUB of Homer High School May, 1943.

2 THE TROJAN HOMER SCHOOL3 —PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. “The Old High School, a land mark In Homer for the oast fifty-three years, remains only in memory. Memories Include not only a building, but events, experiences, class pictures, copies of Trojans, and a multitude of other things, circumstances, and events that have significance far outside the realm of commercial prices. The tokens of human interest were all symbolized in what made up the old building. One might well deal with the school's history by thinking of three definite groups. First, there is the group that constitutes the present student body and the graduates of the immediate past. Then there is the middle-aged adult who used to look at the class pictures and proceed to explain about his fellow graduates and tell how they were employed in active life. This middle aged per eon placed an appraisal upon the school, principally in terms of incidents of associations and evaluation of the instructional course as designed a few years ap o. A third group may be mentioned that has no less Interest in memories attached to the old School Pulldlng. This group can tell you about some of the people whose names were found in the document box in the cornerstone of the old building. Some of them knew members of the Board of Education, were related to persons prominent then, and a few were in school at the time our “old building was a new building. An engraved booklet, containing a neatly printed program, gives the names of the graduates from Homer High School in the year 1890. There were two graduates, Minnie Hastings and Thomas Hartley. These may be thought of, figuratively, as leading the procession of thousands of pupils and graduates that have come out from Homer High School during the fifty-three years that the old High School building was in use. Volumes of history could be written about the events since the time when the old building was dedicated in 1890 and the final days of service rendered by that building in 1943. The prophetic statements quoted from Joseph Estabrook, State Superintendent of Public Instruction; by C. C. Worthington, director in the school district at that time; by Doctor William Lane, author of the book, “Homer and Its Pioneers, and similar stat-ments by many other citizens of that day, have now had applied the testaf time concerning their estimates and Judgments of the value of education in a community. An autographed statement, dated at the school ground, 1890, by Doctor Lane is especially note-worthy: When this little book 18 found, those who have assembled here today (August 13, 1890), may all have Journeyed to that far off shore from whence no mariner hAs ever returned, but their labors in the Interest of education will still live.
