The Average Student — Throughout this book you will set pictures of senior high students working, studying, or merely posing (in rows) for their picture. If you are an outsider it will be difficult for you to realize how all these varied and seemingly unrelated activities can be part of the tightly knit student life. To the average student it is simple. First he automatically is part of a class. He is enormously proud of and loyal to this class. Then he has of course a homeroom to which he also owes loyalty. Since he is going to school for the purpose of learning, he has from five to six courses a year in a good range of subjects. He tries sincerely to do assignments right and get them in on time, but being the average student he always slips up some- where and allows his grade level to slouch to a point between two and three. This isn't bad. but he always wishes it were better. In the school life of the average student his clubs play a large part. If he has gone out for athletics he keeps at it until he makes the all important Lettermen’s Club; if our average student happens to be a girl, she goes through the humiliating initia- tion to become a Yellow-jacket. There are other clubs—some service clubs, some hobby clubs which take the time of the average student. Socially we find that our student helps stage about one third of the dances, pic- nics. and other functions to which he goes. He enjoys them just as much and pos- sibly better when he lias worked for them. Taken all in all and lumped together, the value received by the average student in his three years makes his effort worthwhile. He has gained knowledge, experience, and the ability to work together with all the other average students in the larger school of life.

DEDICATION A. W. Hendrix All of us who were privileged to know Mr. Hendrix remember him with love and gratitude. His broad understanding of the problems of students and his genuine interest in each individual formed the basis for his democratic procedure of administering our school. He had a deep con- viction that the high school of today should offer something worthwhile for all students, re- gardless of scholastic ability. He believed that the schools chief function was to develop good citizens of the community, of the country, and of the world. As students, as alumni, or as fac- ulty members, we always'shall feel a deep devotion to this great, modest gentleman who has left a lasting impression on all of us. Martin H. Munz
