FOREWORD K NOWLEDGE has been the highest aspiration of Man in his centuries of struggle against nature, and it is knowledge that has lifted him above the level of the wild beasts. Sym¬ bolic of this knowledge which Man has gleaned from decades of experiment and error, are books—the books which contain the ac¬ cumulated wisdom of the ages, and now stand ready to divulge their secrets to the seeker after learning, opening to him new vistas and spreading the world in panorama at his feet, for him to survey and receive as his own. Nowhere are there greater opportunities for the student than in the Gary schools. Through the vision of one man, the Gary Public School System has grown from an ideal into a universally renowned reality. One of the greatest factors in the success of the system is the personal interest taken in each student; the teachers not only in¬ struct him in the regular curriculum, but also act as advisors, help¬ ing him to grasp the advantages of the wonderful opportunities for learning which are offered in the extra-curricular activities and special courses. In accordance with this theme, we have altered the teachers’ section in this volume, and have represented our Faculty, not in their capacity as instructors, but in their function of ad¬ visors to the student body.
