Rayen School offers much to those students seeking varied activities . . . Athletics, music, and clubs all beckon to students who budget their time. But greater than these is the splendid opportunity of securing a valuable education. In addition to being an athletic arena, a music center, and a meeting place of North Side youth . . . Rayen School is our teacher. The three courses of leaming which we may choose -academic, technical, and commercial-are expounded by an able staff who seek both to instruct and to direct. Student number one, who takes the academic course, may study mathematics, science, foreign language, history, and English. Student number two, who picks a technical course, may become skilled in printing, Wood work, metal work, besides taking many general subjects. Student number three, who chooses the commercial course, may become acquainted with shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, commercial law, history, and a multitude of other subiects. These courses are charts for our voyage through Rayen . . . The text book is our pilot . . . Teachers are our beacons, or our guiding stars . . . Father Time is our judge: he alone knows the success of our enterprises. To the ticking of the clock, to the click of the camera . . . time records all things. What Rayen Offers if Page Sixteen ,Br

Mr Herr in his office. Rayen will graduate nearly four hundred in Ianuary and Iune this year. This number looks large, but the enrollment in high school is gradually lowering since 1934 when Rayen had nearly 2,lO0. Now we are nearer 1900. So this is not our largest class. But it is not likely that the supply of students will give out for some decades to come. With no jobs for those leaving or ready to leave, more people stay with us whether they love us or not. The compulsory education law, under present condi- tions, keeps many in school in Ohio until they are eighteen. More and more jobs can be filled only by high school gradu- atesp in fact, there are few employers now who will take just anybody who applies. Rayen School has always been college preparatory, and it is with no little satisfaction that we see many of our graduates in higher institutions all over the country. With the steady broadening of high school courses, we have tried not to fail in our effort to help young people really prepare for life.-F. F. Herr. Our Principal -ijf Page Iiiyhlcen lyc- ff'
