As youth of the most democratic republic in the World, students enjoy these privileges. Coercion and regimentation have no place in Parker. Students have their own opinions, likes, and dislikes --they work hard, play hard, live vigorously. Their symbol is not of the rifle or the machine gun: it is rather that oi the baseball bat, the volley ball, the tennis racquet, or the football. ' Parker, as a school, has done much in the last two years. In 1933, eighteen hundred pupils of a secondary school named Parker, moved from their old school building to the present Parker Senior High School. Today, thirty-four hundred occupy this modern building, With this increase in numbers has come the emerging of Parker as an outstanding school in Chicago. Respect for its high scholastic rating and its mighty teams is universal. And who is respon- sible for this change?-Typical young Americans-Parkerites. 15 ' i

During the summer, the volumes repose on long shelves, but with the school year, each student receives his quota for his nightly vigils. ' Very few Parkerites ever see the furnaces that warm them for four years. Yet, here, in the bowels of the school building, begrimed men busily do their part to keep Parker in a healthful condition.
