I?.e . i h l l l Within the A alls of Have you ever been fascinated by the precision and efficiency of an enormous machine? On these two pages we offer you a few glimpses of a Very special kind of machine-one that turns out as its chief product the Youth of Today, the Citizens of Tomorrow. The raw material comprises assorted sophomores, of different sizes and kinds They are put through our many depart- ments, under the direction of capable and efficient managers. Ignorance, habits of procrastination and laziness, and such phrases as Ml seen and 'Tye sawn are lopped off. A general knowledge of many different subjects, such as geometry, his- tory, speech, typing, art, chemistry, and languages, are not tacked on, as in some schoolsebut drilled into the cerebral or- gan, where it is so deeply embedded that it is almost impossible for one of our grad- uates to lose all this knowledge. Through extra-curricular activities, rough edges are filed down, and sharp corners are gently rounded. The boys attain an extra gloss and polish through our military depart- ment, while the girls are given a smooth- er, more feminine sheen in the foods and sewing divisions. The finished products, enclosed in flow- ing gray gowns, and stiff little hats, satisfy the demand for intelligent and capable high school graduates in colleges, in the business world, and in the training schools for many professions.
