ARCHITECT-IN-CHIEF 218 Q f Y I' V10 IN ORDER that you may better understand the school of which you are a part and feel the inspiration within these walls which share so richly in tradition, we have put in this annual a little of the past, much of the present, and a word of the future.

I extend my congratulations to the faculty, annual staff, and the student body for making this year so successful. I

GENIUS PLAYING NWOULDNQT IT BE FUN to take a gander at our faculty when theyire not behind a desk or with a piece of chalk in hand? ,lust for fun let's take a Saturday off and see what we will find.

Mr. Messier claims hehas a scien- tific method of catching fish. YX7 e donit know how true this is but Mrs. Gleason has a picnic basket bulging. Guess she has his method classified! After con- siderable debate over where fish are biting we continue on our way to Miss Ions., To our surprise Miss Margaret Clark, and Mrs. Maudie Cook have joined Miss lons in a morning digging in the good earth.
