DLACE fl3 II Elf what gives a school a name. It is within the power of the students themselves to make or break their school. The student body is governed directly by their own representatives. Buford Hayden presided this year over the student council. All matters of importance to the students are biought up there. 'llhe student council con- sists of representatives from each class and from most of the school organizations. 'lihe majority of the students in H. H. S. are not snobbish though in the past there have been and there still are a few rather definite cliques that should he abolished. The revisit n of the point system this year-it is thought-will do away with the practice of giving all the school offices to just a few students. With the new system each student is limited to tixo elected offices. Under this plan the offices will l,e rather widely dist.ibuted among the capable students. llutchiuson high school students have a repu- tation for being good sports. XN'ith their Salt Hawk, and their colors of Gold and lilue they cheer their teams on to victofy and do not con- trive alibies for defeat. School activities are not centered in sports alogie. ,-Xn equal amount of enthusiasm is ren- dered for the debate team, for plays, and for all the musical organizations. Most of the students are interested in their scht ol even in the class l'tl1Jlll. .X number of places in the State Scholarship coiitests are always won by ll. ll. S. students. XYe are sure that students who have already gfaduated from llulchinson high school and those who are al.out to graduate, feel that she is an Alma Mater of which to be proud. XVe are sure they feel ll. ll, S. has played an important part in the moulding of their lives toward higher ideals. We also feel that when we walk down her aisles for the last time we will realize that our three years in H. li. S. have indeed been well spent. .-'Xnd when we let echo through her halls for the last time- March forever on ye com- rades of the Gold and lilueufmay We sing it from our hearts and let that wish be our mem- otial to our high school days. XYe pass on to posterity the honors we have won and the deeds we have performed for our high school. XYe hope that perhaps we have left li. ll. S. a little better than we found it. Nay we deserve to hear ringing in our ears well done. NINE

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
