KOHIN A man of medium stature with eyes that were stern and humorousinturn, and a slow, understanding smile-this is the Thomas C. Kohin that the graduates of L-P. keep locked in their memories. The old school, tall and massive, with Mr. Kohin standing in thecorridors helping and watching students as they pass from class to class is a picture worth remembering. As a Firm believer in tradition, Mr. Kohin pointed out the path to generations of students. This quiet, dignified men whose first thoughts were for Eli-Pe, spent the best years of his life in the service of this high school. During the thirty- eight years of his service, he saw La Salle-Peru grow from its infancy into its present size. A dignity of bearing, a sympathetic but Firm manner, a keen wit, an ability to inspire awe and respect proclaimed Mr. Kohin a true leader of men. Students and teachers realized his worth and looked to him for guidance and self-assurance. 4

Visions of the Future 'W s it . Q l .fl i f ' i . -i.fs:.,.g.. STRUCTURE destined to be the pride of the community. The outstanding tribute to the best that has been developed in modern schooling. An architectural accomplishment of which its oc- cupants may be justly proud. An edifice possessing ever-lasting possibilities. Such is EII Pe l-ligh, for in it we see vast opportunities for increasing greatness. We build up on our minds a vision of it in years to come. A school which will offer its students a splendid career-inspiring curriculum. One supplied with the facilities to provide a four year college course. Equipped with television and motion pictures as a means of presenting to its students a more realistic study. Radio, and along with it television, will be considered a necessity. Social and recreational acti- vities, as well as educational programs, may be brought to the school through these mediums. lts athletic undertalcings in outside communities-football, basketball, swimming, traclc-may be brought to the eyes and ears of interested listeners and well-wishers at home. l-learsay reports will be practically obliterated. Each, and all, will be able to follow activities and will not be obligated to read accounts in the news- papers to learn of the outcome. Lilcewise, through radio, students will be given a more vivid and definite picture of the subject under discussion. Radio lessons in the art of play production will be brought to dramatic classes. l-listory classes may follow current events by everyday pursuance of news flashes by well-known commentators. English classes may learn of those renowned in the field of literature by lectures coming to them through the ether. And then too, there will be motion pictures to aid students in their study. lo those in the typewriting classes will be brought films to illustrate correct posture, fingering, and approach. Science classes may actually watch the movement of protozoa as shown in pictures under great magnification. The curriculum may be so extended as to include many subjects that are not at this time being offered to students. New fields of worlc requiring slcill and experience are rapidly being opened up. To Fill the positions these create, high school pupils must have an opportunity at school to learn of these things. instruction in air conditioning, refrigeration, television, electric arc, oxy-acetylene welding, machine shop and radio may wisely be instituted. Such improvements in facilities for teaching will enable instructors to impart to students more rapidly and thoroughlythe mastery ofdifficult lessons. These new agencies will no doubt enable a teacher to handle larger classes just as efficiently as now but with less effort than required at present. All in all, there is no limit to the progress which L-P. l-ligh may malce within the next few decades. Possibilities which we can not now forsee may materialize. But for progress, there must be full cooperation with willing helpers, and we must take every advantage of our opportunities. ,3 Ell Ess Pe Staff of 1937 Editorial Board Al Castelli, Chairman Natalie Leland, Vice-Chairman Mildred Swanson Novella Kellerns Business Board Eugene Keutzer, Chairman Al Mankowski Senior Personnel Bernadine Weyand, Chairman Luella Metzinger Arlene Levan Wm.
