,IOURNALISNI A glimpse at the News Staff discloses a group of students, some quietly poring over a notebook, some excitedly scribbling on a piece of paper, others frantically searching for references and asking Miss Renshaw for informa- tion, all in a rush to get that issue of the School News out on time. LIBRARY Miss Renshaw presides at our busy and efficient library. She does more than pass out books. She advises students, helps them direct their reading and outlines and assists with references. ART Inkipaint pots-sketches-Truly an artistls haven! lYe see some drawings on one table which, Miss Kern tells us, will find places in our f'Golden Key . Several portraits of familiar faces are visible and the gay posters which advertise our plays show us that there are many rising artists in our school. MUSIC There is no royal road to musical proficiency-it must come the slow, hard way of persistent practice, but Miss Rye works miracles with her musical organizations. The orchestra responds to her enthusiastic direction and leadership by mastering difficult overtures as well as the lighter, modern music. The glee clubs and quartet are a credit to Miss Rye's efforts. HOME ECONOMICS Mrs. Aldrich leaves her sewing classes carrying out her careful instruc- tions in dressmaking to return to the school kitchen. where she impresses upon her students that, indeed, cooking is one of the fine arts, for- XYe may live without poetry, music and art, XYe may live without conscience and live without heart, We may live without friends, we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooksfl nr This disconnected sketch of our school activities fails to show how all branches fit into a complete whole. To appreciate this one must hear our splendid orchestra and glee-club numbers at programs, enjoy our class plays and other dramatic productions: inspect the fine workmanship of the many useful articles the shop has on display. Come to our banquets and be con- vinced that we feel no concern about the ability of our cooks. Go to the office and let Mr. Love tell how efficient is the help he receives from the commercial students. Some classes give less tangible evidence of accomplishments, but it is because of the foundations laid by English, the languages, sciences, history and mathematics that any progress is possible. So be assured, we have attained, in a measure at least, the training and knowledge which should equip us to do our part in the world's work for Peace. Page Twenty-two

- X CLASS HISTORY xi A s , Four years ago the proud and stately ship, Education. sailed into port, bringing so a . FQ the class of 730 to the land of knowledge. ' N, jf - The captain said to them when they landed, Axvgyli nxt' ' U . I will return in four years, and all those '7 1- who have successfully overcome the phan- W toni, Ignorance, .and have obtained thirty- ggl two recommending credits, shall set sail i again with me upon the sea of lifef, Hav- ing thus spoken, he bade them goodbye and fee- I - 5 - ig R Simi, N .MEF sailed away. ix! N, The passengers then took up residence g lily. , , ,MN - in the city of School. In order that they 532:13 J: .fl 1 'I K might have some way of overcoming Igno- S i rance, they organized themselves into a J' body known as freshmen with Fred Beaty 5 L,1l,l,,gf and Charles Kemp as leaders for the year. ' Although confronted by many difficulties, they were steadfast, and in due time they .7 -5 XII became known sophomores, with L. D. ig? ' ' Littlefield as their leader. By earnest and steady work they hn- ,,i rig.-Y ally won the respect of the other inhabi- LNKET5 T- tants of this land, and under their junior leaders, james Burris and George Schenk, they were known as the most feared op- ponents of Ignorance. In this year their ability was fully recognized. Fin-ally, after much persistent effort, their goal was in sight. The four years were closing and the seniors, led by Charles Kemp, waited for their ship. At last it came, and the captain, looking over the gay crowd, asked what they had accomplished during his absence. Their leader stepped forth and said with a clear, ringing voice: XYe have among our group, scholars. drainatists and musicians. XVe have given worthy contributions to the school paper and to the 'fGolden Key . XVe have in our class noteworthy athletes. XYe have upheld the tradition and honor of this city of School. And , he said with much pride, we have demolished the phantom, Ignorance. The captain, satisfied with the report, ordered the gangplank, 'fGradu- ation , lowered and when our seniors had passed slowly over it, the ship, Education, started on its journey over the sea of life.
