hree R s HH clanj; ol an iron bell, the hurrying ot: bareloot youngsters into the one-room school house, the drone of voices studying reading, writing, and arithmetic lessons — these arc all the signs of education a century ago. Not long ago a stranger — one who, himself, had gone to school in the one-room school house ot not so long ago — was shown through Mishawaka High School. He was shown through the wood shop, electric shop, and machine shop, which have all the modern equipment and facilities lor trained workmanship. He was taken into the printing shop where our student printers were at work at the press. The chemistry and physics laboratories were visited, where young scientists were at work over test tubes and beakers and where the still, supplying distilled water for the shops, was being run by an assistant. In the domestic science department an attractive dinner was being served by the foods class, and several very well-made dresses made by the girls were hanging in the closets in the clothing room. The music room was visited where the orchestra was playing, showing marked talent and training in music. Several class rooms were observed, after which the .stranger went to see the office with the principal. As he was leaving, he passed down the main corridor and paused at a fountain lor a drmk, where he made this remark, The system of education today is as different from and better than the school I went to as this fountain is to the dipper and bucket we used to use. nn Ho m e N III SI ng Priming Geography Chemistry [17]

heni ' ors No traces left of all the busy scene, But that yemembrance says: The things have been. Samuel Boyse. Officers Martin Honold ----- President Robert Shaffer Vice-President Roland Smith Secretary Susan Mary Riley Treasurer Lawrence McCoy Board of Control Orvel Nappier Athletic Council lUNE to some people may mean roses, brides, and moonlight, but to Seniors it means something else — the pinnacle of four years work as well as pleasure — Gradua- tion! The thing that seemed so far away has come all too quickly, and we do not know whether to be glad or sorry. It means the beginning of a new phase of our lives, but also the breaking up of old friendships. Our four years have been full of activity, and we seem to have struck the balance between work and play. As freshmen we wandered about rather awe-stricken and didn ' t accomplish a great deal as a class, but several individuals made outstanding records. Orvel Nappier had the honor of being the only freshman member of the varsity basketball team. Nappier and Nicolini were also members of the varsity team in football. We seemed to be rather good followers of all the undertakings of the year, which, after all, is about what is ex- pected of freshmen. We also served our time in the balcony. The next year we were only sophomores, but we had stepped out of the green stage and added a little dignity to our names. During this year we began to be active in clubs and organizations. The outstanding success of the year was the presentation of The Three Graces, a three-act play coached by Miss Dorothy Welch. This was a triumph because usually the sophomores give three one-act plays. SENIOR OFFICERS Miirtin Honold Susan Miiiy Riley Roland Smith Robert Shaffer Orvel Nappier [18]
