THE PORTAL OF THE LOGANSPORT HIGH SCHOOL The main entrance of the Logansport High School tells in stone, the purpose of education: To implant within each individual student high ideals and to assure -through the struggle of attaining them a joy in living. This threshold might be called an example of Gothic architecture. Picture the magnificent examples of Gothic architecture in the facades of such cathedrals as Am- iens, Rheims, Notre Dame of Paris and then imagine the derision the medieval monks and builders would accord this statement. Its claim, however, to the Gothic style of architecture rests on four details: its recessed portalg its two grotesque figures, carved bats, on the thrust above and to the east and west of the archg its pointed archg and the florescent design at the top and the sides of the arch. Through its symbolism the Gothic style is appropriate for a school threshold. The recessed arch implies welcomeg in contrast with the grotesque figures, always present in Gothic architecture, symboli- cal of the evil of the world, there is the arch pointing heaven ward, significant of the attainment of high ideals. The carved ornamentations accompanying the curve of this arch symbolize the beauty attending' a life of high endeavor.

,.1 , i W. L. SPROUSE BAIRD F. COX 1 Jfffij. Superintendent of Principal of the ' the Logansport Schools Logansport High School, VIRGINIA BRADFIELD Clerk of the Mary Ellen Mull Logansport High School James Alspaugh THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE The principal's office of the Loganspiort High School is always a busy place, es- pecially at the beginning of the morning and afternoon sessions. Mr. Cox is then em- ployed giving passes to every student, who through absence, tardiness, or some other cause, may require that valuable scrap of paper to gain admission into class room and assembly. Both Mary Ellen Mull and James Alspaugh have come to the office for passes. As the M on her arm band indicates, Mary Ellen is a Student Council Moni- tor. As 'fsafety first she is getting her pass before going on duty, so that no time will be lost when the tardy bell releases her from Work as hall monitor. James has his excuse from home ready, no doubt, hoping that he can obtain a pass without delay and get some work done before school begins. Almost daily, for a short time at least, Mr. Sprouse appears in the office. His visits may be occasioned by business, or by force of habit through his previous princi- palship, or through a friendly interest in both students and faculty. If the last is one of his reason for coming, his interest is reciprocated. Miss Bradfield is always at Work, but she keeps cheerful under the stress of of-- fice demands. As an employee she is a composite. She is a typist, a stenographer, a filing clerk, an informant concerning reports, programs, schedules and anything else relative to the concerns of the high schoolg moreover, in the absence of the nurse, Miss Avery, she gives first aid to the afflicted. This year completes Mr. Cox's second year as principal of the Logansport High School. His success is shown in many ways. It is probably most evident in the busi- ness attitude that marks the students' daily routine work and in their manifest good will and cooperation.
