Men speak of dreaming as if it were a phenom¬ enon of night and sleep. All results achieved by us are self-promised, and self-promises are made in dreams awake. We learn to love labor, not for itself, but for the opportunity it furnishes for dreaming, which is the great under-monotone of real life, un¬ heard, unnoticed because of its constancy. Living is dreaming. Only in the grave are there no dreams. Isw Wallace, art Autobiography Out of the tireless labor of the author-soldier- statesman came the fruit of his dreams in the form of five books: The Fair God, Ben Hur, The Prince of India, Boyhood of Christ, and Lew ' Wallace, an Autobiography. Always the lamp of knowledge led the way through historic research to authorship. We have attempted in our first medallion to crystallize this idea in stone.

is an office force of five members and a permanent medical office pre¬ sided over by Mrs. Dorothy Clayton. The name of the school was chosen by a popular vote of the pupils during the time Miss Ina Martin was principal. Lew Wallace was a great statesman, writer, and general during the Civil War. It is the purpose of the school to foster the standards of scholarship, loyalty, valor, honor, and spor tsmanship which this great man upheld during his life. The cost of the original land site was $2 5,000 and the additional costs for streets, sidewalks, sewers, and surfacing was $38,000. The total in¬ vestment including the new building under construction is more than $ 1 , 000 , 000 . The present curriculum is not as complete as the one followed by other Gary high schools, but it will be upon the formal opening of the new building which is now being occupied by several classes, but which will not be fully equipped until the fall semester of 1932-’33. The com¬ pletion of this building will be co-incident with the graduation of the first class to complete four years of high school training. The Lew Wallace School has been granted permission to appropriately use the crest of the Wallace family. The crest bears the coat of arms of the Wallace family and dates back to the eleventh century. Our school is honored by being the only school or organization in the United States privileged to use this crest. For this reason it is the desire of the students and faculty to display and use it on only such occasions as we know the Wallace family would be proud to have it used. The crest, to us, is some¬ thing to be respected and venerated. —Dorothy Seefeldt, ’ 32 .
