We have accomplished many tasks with his aid, including the pub- lication of this yearbook, the 1950 MINA- MEK. Through the excellent leadership of Mr. Broad, our school has attained its distinc- tively high rank of which each and every student is proud. Besides partaking in school activities and organizations, one being the newly organized Student Cabinet, he has also received recognition as a leader in com- munity organizations. If we follow his fine example, we are sure to be a success in the world since Mr. Broad has always striven to make us better men and better citizens. , . - ..Y,, ,.,,,,..Wr...... ..,.. .W ..,. ,,..i-,,...A.,-W, .,...,,,+-. .. .,,.v,.-.,.,. -G. .Q--Q -H LAMBERT E. BROAD, M. A. gambert E. Broad PRINCIPAL PRINClPAL'S To THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1950: The completion of your secondary school education comes in the middle of the year which marks the end of the first half of the 20th Century, and you are stepping out into new fields at the beginning of the new half century. In a constantly changing world, the rate of change through new discoveries and inven- tions was phenomenal during the past fifty years and unless there is a marked change in trends, advances will come even more rapidly in the next five decades. Therefore, it will be necessary for all of you to continue to educate yourselves well and to strive hard to live successfully in the world of the coming half century. M. M. I. has attempted to contribute to MESSAGE your growth and education up to the present time. It will attempt to do the same for the youth of tomorrow. Your aid and assistance for the continuation of the better education at M. M. I. through the support of the Alumni Association will help to make this possible. Congratulations to you on the publication of this excellent MINAMEK, the Tenth Edition. Best wishes to you for a successful life of ser- vice in the years to come. p fwxbwi Z. Llama! 5

C FACULTY. . . Stofan Evans Newlzn ANDREW J. STOFAN, JOHN P. EVANS, B. A., M. A. C. E- ANDREW J. STOFAN, B. A., M. A. Being the only instructor with whom We have had four years of association, Mr. Stofan has done a superb job in presenting us with a good foundation in mathematics, Latin, and German. As dramatics director he has proven his capabilities by entertaining the neighbor- ing communities with many a well-humored play. His philosophy is based around the fact that success can be attained only through con- stant, industrious work. Though in many cases a strict disciplinarian, Mr. Stofan has provided many a timely joke and it is certain that his fatherly advice has been accepted with much appreciation by the Class of 1950. JOSEPH G. NEWLIN, B. s. times JOHN P. EVANS, C. E. Being a graduate of Lehigh University, Mr. Evans has been a great aid in depicting the qualifications of college life. He limits his explanation to six letter words and has done a commendable job as a physics, algebra, and mechanical drawing instructor. His sense of humor, interrupted by moments of sarcastic anger, will always be looked back upon with much satirical consideration. Along with Mr. Slegeski he has been our able class adviser to whom we express much thanks for the considerable cooperation offered. JOSEPH G. NEWLIN, B. S. Mr. Newlin, instructor of biology, chemistry, and democracy, is a graduate of Ursinus College where he majored in chemistry. As a teacher he has often amazed us with his ability to teach an ab- stract subject as chemistry, then switch around to the ever-changing Problems of Democracy, and take an active part and at the same time coach our Jay-Vees in such school activities as the Student Cab- inet. Having done all with admirable quality, he has received con- siderable appreciation from the student body, and we sincerely hope that many future classes at M. M. I. will beneiit through his capabil- ities. JOHN M, SLEGS B.
