LANGE ON VACATION To the Boys and Girls of the Class of 1933 Dear Boys and Girls, VVithin a few weeks an important epoch in your life will come to an end. Your home city of St. Paul has liberally provided for your education and you have made good use of the opportunities offered you. In these few words of farewell addressed to you, I wish that you may ever remain boys and girls in spirit. If you will consider the diploma you are about to receive as evidence that your education has made only a good start, you will have discovered one of the fountains of youth. I hope that you will look back with pleasure to the years spent at lNf'Iechanic Arts in association with your school mates and teachers. Four things I wish that you may ever retain as the years of the future roll by: the joy of good health and of honest work, the enjoyment of play in the great out-of-doors, and the open and inquisitive mind of youth. Ever sincerely yours, D. LANGE Page Eleven

WVeit- brecht, our Hrst principal, and the able leadership of Dietrich Lange, our second principal, continuous growth has been the outstanding characteristic of hflechanic Arts High School. It all began in 1894 with an enrollment of less than 200, and outside of a few minor set-backs the school grew steadily until today we have an enrollment of over 2200 distributed as follows: Seniors, 5985 Juniors, 7055 Sophomores, 7943 and Post-graduates, 94. The faculty numbering 12 in 1898 has increased to 73 at present. The graduating class has grown from 14 in 1896 to 470 listed for graduation in June of this year. So, from a very modest beginning Nlechanic Arts has developed to its present proportions and inculcated within every boy and girl that passed through its halls an abiding spirit of loyalty and cooperation that will carry them far. Nlay we all cherish and perpetuate the spirit that has not only made Nlechanics large, but will greatly contribute to our success after leaving school. Long live our school! -HOMER E. HILLARD.
