Death! Destruction! Persecution! Fortunate we are to live in the United States of America. On these pages are pictured boys and girls representing some thirty nation alities and races. They are typical of eighteen hundred young Americans at Mechanic Arts. Americanism has taught them the meaning of unity and equality. ln the chemistry lab a Finn, a Russian and a Chinese burn tin to understand Priestley's theory. An algebra class tinds a German, a Frenchman, and an Englishman trying to dis cover the value of X. ln civics, a Swede, an ltalian and a Greek learn why our constitution is Vital. At Me chanics race, creed, color are no barrier. We are all AmericansfAmericans all. lt this book strengthens your respect for the American public school with its equal opportunities tor grow- ing youth, it it awakens your appreciation for the con- ' tribution ot many peo- ples to American life, then, its purpose has been tul- filled.

Several students, among them Miss Ruth Rosenfield, are stationed in Miss Tschida's office during the six periods of the day, and there they carry out their innumerable tasks: typing, taking phone calls, filing, and running errands, Page 12 The Guidance Bureau, formerly headed by our present assistant prin- cipal, has been placed under the lead- ership of Miss Gould, one of our able math teachers, and Miss Kellerhals.

The Wav To Students' Hearts? These four cooks make lunch time the most refreshing period for seven- teen hundred hungry mouths at Mechanics. Potatoes, gravy, meat, vegetables, salads, pie, cupcakes, Iello, all six delicious flavors! At eleven-thirty the first influx of famished students chokes all paths to the cafeteria. Forks and spoons clatter as lines form at the main counter, the hamburger stand, and the water fountain, then scatter to devour food, fluid, and news simultaneously. After gulping the last morsel of sandwich, groups filter toward the ice cream and candy counters where lane Tinder, Dick Anlauf, and brisk Al Brun- nette cheerfully greet them. Kenneth Clark dispatches bottles, dishes, and glasses, shoved through the 'll-lole in the Wall to the dishwasher. Again the bell rings, and with it a brief respite of fifteen minutes in which the entire staff must prepare for the next hungry cavalcade.

Formalities ot business rapidly dispensed with, the program proceeds: simple demonstra- tions ot queer properties of this World we live in, or more often, informal dis- cussions of some pertinent question put before the group by a puzzled member. ln either case meetings are welcome occasions, for there is a prevailing spirit ot good fellowship amongst this lively group ot boys and girls.

Every student lost his identity by assuming the role of a Shakef spearean character. Thus Dan Vanelli became a somewhat jovial Hamlet, Robert Rademacher gave a modest interpretation of the great lulius, and Doris Radke, following her bent for commercial law, was an attractive Portia.

From its humble beginnings as a struggling attempt at journalism by green, inexperienced students and bewildered faculty members, the Cogwheel, now a smart, sophisticated, six-paged, tabloid-sized paper with its own photographer, has developed an enviable record in the field of high school journalism.

All remember time at Mechanics as good years and happy ones: recall pleasantly the good fellowship and co-operation of students and teachers. MISS CAROLINE GILBERT, who thinks M. A. is the greatest school in St. Paul, for twenty-eight years started talented youth on the road to artistic suc- cessg has had the satisfaction of seeing some of her students become locally and nationally famous. MISS ANTOINETTE FORD, who taught commercial and physical geogra- phy for eighteen and one-half years, is the author of My Minnesota, and Gopher Tales. MISS MARY CHRISTOPHER capably instructed young mathematicians for twenty-two years in the intricacies of angles and fractions, x's and y's, and found time in between to travel even so far as China and Iapan. - MR. CHARLES DUNCAN'S forty-four years were spent in teaching book- keeping, shorthand, typing, and algebra. Mechanics is the only school in the city for him. MR. I-IOMER HILLARD, seventeen years assistant principal at Mechanics, now heads Murray High School, thinks modern students' greatest lack is a willingness to work hard. And finally MR. DIETRICH LANGE, for twenty-three years principal at Mechanic Arts, white-haired, eternally youthful, well-loved of thousands of Mechanics graduates: To give in detail the things I remember would fill a small book, perhaps a large one. Of course, I remember our athletic contests with our friends of Central. Twice our basketball team won the state championship and came very near Winning it a third time. One year we won the championship in every athletic event in the city. lt was always a pleasure for me to see how well the pupils took care of themselves. Of course, I also remember many funny things. Sometimes the joke was on the principal, sometimes on a teach- er, and sometimes on a pupil. But the thing that stands out most in my mem- ory is the fine co-operation l always received from the teachers and pupils in anything we had to do or anything we undertook. Very sincere yours , D. Lange 3 From students, past and present, to these men and women, sincere thanks. Perhaps they will never fully realize the value of their help, encouragement, and influence. Page 7 L.. They Head the Government of '1 ia g lift, t uf Shes Mayor for a Day In The Interests Cf Law And Qrder After long years in the ern- bryo as a dream in the minds of teachers and pupils, student self-government, fostered by Mr. Smith, blossomed at mid- term into the student council. Representatives of all four classes meet under the guid- ance of the principal to regu- late the activities of the clubs, settle difficulties in the organ- izations, make plans for big- ger and better assemblies.
