Ili , IIIIIIIII IIS - - IIHII III 'I'IiIC'I' SUP IIIlIl'I'IllIIIElIlI' It is with deep regret that we say goodbye to Mr.HarryC.McKinsie, the man with a twinkle in his eye, and who always has been ready to greet you with a friendly smile. A native of the state of Indiana, he was graduated from Indiana University. He held positions of teacher, principal, and superintendent in Indiana before he became a part of the Chicago School System in I924. His first assignment was to the Chicago Parental School, where he became a family officer. Following this he became a teacher of mathematics and printing at Senn High School. In succession he served as principal of the Healy, Von Steuben, Bridge, Schneider, and Stewart Elementary Schools from I926 to I936. In this year he became principal of Amundsen High School. Three and one-half years later he was made High School District Superintendent of District Number Two. From the time he taught school in Steam Corner, Indiana, until his position as Supervisor of High Schools of District Number Two in Chicago, he has made many warm friendships, and as he leaves Lake View and Chicago, he will have many fond memories to look back upon. In Indiana lies a lovely farm which awaits Mr. and Mrs. McKinsie where they will enioy a busy life amid nature and her offspring. We extend our best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. McKinsie for a long life g of contentment on his farm. Office Persorinel: ROW I: C. Schimkat, H. Bernhardt, Mr. McKinsie, Mrs. Hultgren, B. Bruni. ROW 2: A.

'lil IDEAL REPHE E T In retrospect, might we not ask ourselves a few questions as another school year comes toaclose? Thesequestionsim- ply that there is an apparent attitude of apathy on the part of Americans, both young and old, indicating to some degree that we are facing a breakdown of our social order in the contemporary crises. Such questions as the following merit some careful consideration. Have we not taken our democratic way of life for granted? Have we not taken a laissez-faire attitude toward our American tradi- tions and American culture? ls there not much more to our culture and tradition than the waving of flags and celebrat- ing past historical events sig- nificant though they may be? A culture or social order is the framework in which we carry on our daily lives,-our economic system, government, family life, religion, education. Although climate and physical resources have much to do with the character of the social order, basically, it is influenced more by a people's fundamental thinking about a way of life. To a larger extent than most of us appreciate, the culture in which we live gives us spiritual support, a feeling of security, and a sense of direction. We become so accustomed to institutions that we accept them as inevitable. The older this culture the harder it is to change it, because, through generations, men's emotional and spiritual roots have become deeply entangled in it. For those of us who live in it, a society that is deeply disturbed or tending toward disintegration is a most serious matter. As we look back through the months of this past year, have there not been numerous indications of such unrest? ln this critical period we must stand out firmly as good apostles of freedom and iustice, we must reaffirm our faith in the democratic way of life. For much of this we need to depend on you, the younger generation. You will not waver!
