' ' M k'k kk' 7 'Z . .... -- V- af-- -. x 'VV' 7 -i ,, ,... .... Under the indomitable spirit and prophetic vision of George VV. 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.
