The Victory Bell The south entrance With the wide variety of subjects offered in our curriculum, it should be possible for every student to find something in which he is really interested. The mastering of that subject may take some work. It may mean that the student will have to put in a few hours on home work now and then. Although they may not seem so now, studies are good for us. They offer exercise for our minds, and thev teach us to think clearly. V. Darrell Parsons setting type. Bob Petermann at a lathe. Don Anderson, Keith Amiss.
