FQFIUM Presenting the Curriculum and Personalities of H. H. S CONTENTS Dedication . Editorial . Building . Young America National Honor School Board StudontC ouno il . 7 Society IQEFLECTIO I Do we, the high school students of 1935 realize the full responsibility placed upon our shoulders as the younger generation of today? How different are our problems from the problems our parents faced as young men and women starting out in life! Certainly we should make the most of our educational opportunities. Our modern high schools offer such a variety of advanced courses and many practical subjects. In former years a school was just expected to offer little more than the three R's. A rigid curriculum was otifered to all regardless of their varying abilities. Excep- tional students were given no extra opportunities over the dullards. Today the honor roll gives recognition to the more industrious students. Special honors are offered to those students who are exceptionally outstanding in their class work and extra curricular activities, The Young America award is presented to the student best representing the ideals of young Americans. Membership in the National Honor Faculty ' ' Society is bestowed upon students who excell in character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Such honors are Seniors i . an inspiration to the ambitious student. Probably the greatest advantage of our schools of . today over the ones our parents attended is in the prepara- Jumors ' ' tion of our teachers. In the schools of yesterday, a teacher had to have only the barest rudiments of education, while Sophomo,-es . . today all of our high school teachers are college graduates and many of them have Masters' and Doctors' degrees. Surely they should be more capable teachers! Essay . . ' So we of the Forum have tried to hold the mirror up to nature so our readers may get a true picture of our splendid educational organization.

WE DEIDICATE I . We the class of 1935, dedicate this .Xllaguroo to Miss Nlayme King, director of dramaties, and H. Bruce Perrill, debate coach, in Hutchinson High School. VYe Wish to show our appreciation to them for the great service they have rendered H. H. S. in the comparatively short time they have been here. We want to thank Miss King for the grand plays she has pre sented for our enjoyment and Mr, Perrill, for producing a long series of first rate debate teams. They have both made history for ll. H. S. And as we graduate, we look hack upon our friendships with these two as most helpful and inspirational.

What pleasant memories will ever cling to l-l. l-l. S. IQ By no means an unimportant part of school life in H. ll. S. is the building itself. Built in 1910, Hutchinson high school has served faithfully as a modern, fireproof, school building. ln 1928 the junior college was added to the high school, and the building was enlarged. All the junior college class rooms are in the new part as are some of the high school class rooms. Probably the most valuable addition was the new Richardson auditorium. Built primarily for good sound facilities, the auditorium has a seat- ing capacity of 1322. .r-X large well equipped stage is an iniportant part of it and almost any kind of play may be presented there. The old auditorium is now used for the glee clubs. Other school meetings are also held there. New built-fn lockers are a convenient and decorative accessory to the new building. Probably the most recent improvement in the high school building is the radio system, the memorial left by the classes of '33, '34, '35, and '36. A great deal of time is saved by broadcast- ing announcements over the radio, which has a receiving set in every room. Radio programs may be heard in any or all of the rooms. The rapid gxowth of H. H. S. has necessi- tated thcse changes in the building. Today over 1500 students are taking ad- vartvge of the modern facilities of the Hutchin- son hgh schrmol and junior college. lt is needless to say that it takes much more besides a mozlern and well-equipped building to make a school a success. The real heart of the school is in the people who work to make it a success. Behind our own high school is the school board, XV. Cowans, superintendent of schools. and Ii. Gilliland, principal. They all c0-op- erate in helping to make H, ll. S. a successful high school. But what would their efforts be without the direct help of every member of the faculty? Last but certainly not least, are the students themselves, The attitude of the student body is EIGHT
