m Principal Cauble . lr. Cauble began his duties as principal uf Mishawaka High School in 1921, anil since that time he has made even ' elTort to give to the students of M. H. S. the ad- vantages that a modern, well equipped, high school should offer. He has facilitated the problem of study for those enthusiasticall - seeking an education and has encouraged many who would have withdrawn from school, to continue their high school course. His unbiased attitude in judging questions which are certain to arise as the result of his contact with over nine hundred students is a characteristic for which e er ' one respects, admires, and has confidence in Mr. Cauble. ' The high school has been called the people ' s college. .Although there is an in- creasing per cent of high school graduates entering institutions of higher learning, a vast majority- of them will never, and pos- sibl - ought never to do so. It is, therefore, the function of the high school to furnish courses of study and the proper instruction to fulfill the needs of all who enter. The Mishawaka High School is an institu- tion which furnishes a variety of courses to take care of students of varying capabilities, interests, and aims. It attempts to direct them to the courses for which the - are best fitted. It furnishes man ' extra-curricular activities to train its students to enjoy in a proper manner their leisure time. Regardless of which course the studen; pursues, the underlying aim is to develop honest, efficient, and intelligent citizens, fitted to take their places as useful members of society under a free government. The 1929 Miskodeed seeks to symbolize the high aim to which the .Mishawaka High School is dedicated. — C. C. Cauble (7)

Superintendent Emmons In 1921 Mr. Emmons came to Misha- waka to assume the position of Superintend- ent of Schools. In those days the Misha- waka High School, a building which is now known as the Main Junior High School, was crowded with the increasing number of stu- dents seeking a high school education. Now, due to the wise leadership of Mr. Emmons, the youth of Mishawaka is privileged to attend one of the largest and best equipped high schools in Indiana. Other schools have been built and the organization so enlarged and perfected to meet the growing needs of the city that Mishawaka feels justly proud of its school system and its superintendent. Visitors to our city proclaim our high school to be one of the most beautiful and best equipped school buildings in the United Slates. We all feel a just pride in promot- ing and maintaining our school ' s reputation for beaut ' and efiiciency. But to us who work and studv in it the attractiveness of the Mishawaka High School does not consist in its design nor in the harmonious arrange- ment of bricks and stone. To us it is an institution with a soul — a symbol of help- fulness, of guidance, and of opportunity. It is a guardian and friend of young people during the four most difficult ears of their lives, it helps, directs, and points the way to aimless, unsettled boys and girls as they change into independent young men and oung women with industrious habits, definite aims, and a finer appreciation of the opportunities and the responsibilities ol life. Four years of association with the best young people in a community, with trained and sympathetic teachers — years of joy, ol striving, of achieving; this is the meaning of a real high school. Men and women of high ideals, industrious, helpful, kind — these are its ultimate product. — P. C. Emmons.
