THE LOGANSPORT HIGH Sci-1001. Page eleven L. H. S. as it now stands, was erect- ed in 1913. It was not the first high school on its site. The old Lincoln or Central building had been torn down to make way for it. The Old Seminary was one of its forebears, and the facts of its site lead back to the page in history which says, The lot on 13th Street-it was then Tipton Street-appears as 'Seminary Square' in the John Tipton's administrator's addition to Logansport, laid out in 1843. The consideration named in the deed is F556 . Since L. H. S. was erected, it has served both Lincoln Junior High and the Senior High School. Two portables, the old gym, and the Berry Bowl have been added. This year L. H. S. has employed 54 teachersg and its enrollment has been 1247 students, 787 Senior high students, and 460 Junior high students.

CLARA RATHFON Dean of Girls Head of the English Department President of the Indiana Teachers' Federation t'Watch Your Step Turn to the Right should be the slogans of all who come under Miss Rathfon's jurisdiction.

M. scene: Mr. Mitchell seated at the table in the outer office demonstrating some problemg students draped over and about the table watching and listening with wrapt attention-as he talks, he draws or figures, his mind so concentrated that he is oblivious to the spell he has cast on his audience, to the slow moving line of girls wanting passes, or to the gen- eral confusion in the office.
