F l FOREWORD 13' ,,vi9y Qj,,, W EVENTY years of Rayen School! What i a record she had made! How proud we can all be-justly proud! From a tiny 2? school in the woods of a village she has progressed to magnificent structure in a growing metropolis, helping, teaching, guiding, every step of the way. Countless students have graced her halls, passing on to face and conquer the dif- ficulties of the world outside, many to lead the professions which they chose to enter. Teachers and principals, too. have come and gone, many remaining to give years of their lives to Rayen School, and all furnishing that splendid guidance that helps youth grow into truly fine manhood and womanhood. --1 A n-1 fill Thus, through the years, the school has grown with ever-changing students and faculty. But the greatest of all things remain, the principles for which Rayen School stands-truth, sincerity, and honesty-will continue to be the glowing inspiration and a guiding star for many years to come. qi Realizing that the tremendous influences that have shaped our lives have been created by the uplifting en- vironment of Rayen School. qi We, The Rayen Annual Staff, present These Seventy Changing Years as our Art Motif for The Rayen Annual of 1936. fx ll Y x J!

T 'l D 1 J ...s ah, NEVV RAYEN ' I-IAT a change from the four-room schoolhouse set far back from the Qs! 's dusty road and guarded by a white picket fence is the picture of new fi Rayen. Our Rayen has a paved street in front. It has three floors, J countless rooms-besides this, it has a library, gym, laboratories, art and music rooms, and study halls. This Rayen was built in 1922, when the North Side was practically a wilderness. There were only three houses on Benita Avenue: and the street was paved only because of the trucks running back and forth on it. The townspeople were quite upset over the notion of building a big school way out there where nobody lived. But they didn't know their Youngstown, for by 1925 things were promising enough to warrant building the stadium. The school proudly boasts of three courses: Academic. Technical, and Commercial, with full facilities for each. Rooms for music and art, laboratories. and shop-work rooms-all are a part of the new Rayen, the only school in the city partly controlled by a Board of Trustees. As compared to the narrow curriculum of the old school, these facilities are cause for real pride in the advancement of the seventy years of our Rayen School. -til Puyr l i1'1' 12:-
