New Personalities Shaped by a Wide Variety tBuilding T aLe$ Place in and out of Clate Into the building process that fashions each of us into a distinct personality, with many of the same hopes and aspira¬ tions of others and yet different from every other one, into this process go many experiences. Remember when you followed the fire truck down Jefferson Street to the pep rally? Or were you up there in all your glory with the rest of the team? Remember the thrill of explaining your club to the student body at the first convocation of the year when the new teachers were introduced? Remember that speaker who made one class period a special memory? Remember your trials as a club officer, or was it just a committee member? Out of such building materials did our personalities develop this year. Wheel People probably thought the south end of town was on fire, but it was really an attempt to kindle some enthusiasm in the football team and its loyal followers. The introduction of teachers always starts off the activity program for the year. Mrs. Pfeiffer thought the prin¬ cipal was kidding about her giving a speech; so she settles for a friendly “hello.” Page Four

i JL o progress is to build; and sometimes to build, the old must make way for the new. The building of a farm shop to expand the opportunities in the vocational agriculture course has pro¬ vided the theme for THE 1952 ARTESIAN. As we walk down the hall chatting, study our lessons, cheer our athletes, take part in club meetings, or practice the class plays, we are build¬ ing. We are laying sturdy foundations on which to build our personalities into more stately mansions. Our building mate¬ rials are vocational skills, civic attitudes, cultural appreciations, and friendly associations.

Of Experiences Dual purpose trimmings! They’re projects in the advanced geometry class and then they’re eye-catching lustre decorations on the Library Christmas tree. Glass blowing is an art for the per¬ son with a steady eye and hand. The biology classes, and anyone else that could sneak in, enjoyed the fascinat¬ ing demonstration by Mr. Frank Long, from the Indianapolis Chil¬ dren’s Museum. Mary Jane Porter pins the red and blue symbol on Robert Lewis that makes him a member of the Sports¬ manship Club, while Janet Poore ar¬ ranges one of the posters made by GAA members to remind the students of their manners. The Lancasters offered a breath¬ taking half-hour of entertainment, exhibiting an agile foot and a steady hand. The biology open house, sponsored by Mr. John Carson, was a huge suc¬ cess. It revealed to many parents new ideas which they would never have dreamed their children could get in a high school science course. Leadership, responsibility and par¬ liamentary procedure are learned by club officers. Georgia McFarland, Dolores Maxwell, Betty Jo Hess, and Lou Ann Hatter, as GAA officers, got several pointers from Mrs. McDonald this year.
