The New McKinley l-ligh School Time is the root of all this earth. Its two precious gifts, tradition and progress, represented in the Woodcut on page one by the Egyptian winged globe and the wheel of progress, are united by the Greek dynamic spiral of life with an hourglass in the background. This symbolism is peculiarly sig- nificant in the history of McKinley High School. To be thoroughly progressive yet to cherish the tradition with which this school is so generously endowed is an ideal with a challenge heroic in its proportions. The Cover The cover of this first issue of the Nugget, designed by Zelda Snell, has incorporated the fine old seal so familiar to McKinley alumni. This cover was selected from a group because it combines, in striking simplicity, modern design and conservative proportions. The Name Nugget To select a name suitable for a high school annual is a vitally important task. The name finally chosen must be one that will be an inspiration to future students, and that will denote a hallowed institution to them as the years roll on. The present McKinley students have chosen by popular vote the name 'lNugget for their new annual. It was the one name of a long list of suggestions that best fulfilled both practical and sentimental requirements. Nugget suggests vividly the gold of the school colorsg it connotes a valuable possession that is to be treasured, it is an original name which will distinctive- ly be associated with McKinleyg and happily it is also a word with unusual graphical balance well suited to artistic lettering and design. 6 Page Seven
