Their combined efforts, each performing its special duties, together produce the finished pro uct. This year the staff purchased a S500 Speed Graphic Camera for the use of school publications. Mr. Clifford Wise, Visual Education Director, is training a small group in its proper use. Because this is 1949 and the members of this year's graduating class are the forty-niners, it seemed that the theme of the Mirror should develop that idea. The Staff decided, therefore, to show the parallel between M. H. S. and a gold mine, with the upperclassmen, the chief miners, and knowledge, the gold. Carrying the comparison further, the Staff has attempted to point out the likeness of other component parts of the school organization to the operation and management of the typical gold mine.
