ll FOREWORD EATED one day on the deck of a great ocean liner, I meditated upon the approximate cost of that ship. I thought of the men who had labored down in the depths of the earth digging out the iron ore, of the men who had hoisted this ore to the surface, transported it to the smelters where it had been prepared for industrial use. I thought of the men who had cut down the towering pines in the forests of the North, Hoated them down the streams to the saw mills, and sawed these pines into lumber. I thought of the men who had worked in the shipyards where the steel and the lumber had been used in the construction of this great ship. As I think of the cost of that same ship today, I am thinking of another element which was not included in my original estimate. I am thinking of the element of time. As I think of the cost of that ship today, I look down the road of history thousands of years, and there I see a savage sitting upon the banks of a river, hewing out the inside of a log with a stone hatchet, for it was far back in the Stone Age. Then I look down the road of history, and I see another savage sitting upon the banks of another river, hewing out the inside of another log, not with a stone hatchet, but with a bronze hatchet for it was now the Bronze Age. And then I finally find myself a passenger on one of the most modern ocean liners of the present age. It has taken time to perfect the modern ship, and what is true of the modern ship is equally true of every institution we have today. The Church, the School, the Home, and the State have been centuries in growing, and the stability of any institution which exists today de- pends upon the age and the history of that institution. It is exactly three hundred years since the first high school was es- tablished in America. During these three centuries, the system of sec- ondary education has been much improved until today we think of our high school as the people's college. At the time of our high school commencement, our graduates are embarking upon a voyage that will take them out upon the Sea of Life. The ship on which they will travel will consist of the education they have acquired during their school careers. lust as it required time to build the modern ship and to perfect the people's college, so it will take time to attain the full measure of success that is desired by our graduates as they leave the harbor to set sail on the stormy Ocean of Life.

f 4, WITH the beginning of the fall term, a new assistant principal, Mrs. Chal- gren, made her arrival at Roosevelt. Mrs. Chalgren's life has been a Htting background for her present position. She was born in a small town in Iowa, but she has spent most of her life in Minnesota. After her graduation from the Austin High School, she taught in small town schools, where she earned enough money to put herself through the St. Cloud Teachers' College. At a later time, and again by earning and saving, she received her advanced degree at the University of Minnesota. Her First teaching was in country schools, and then in Minnesota towns. She was principal of a school in Waseca. Not long after taking this position, she married and retired from public service for seven years. After the death of her husband, she resumed her teaching. Since coming to Minneapolis, she taught at both the Edison and the South High Schools before coming to Roose- velt. Mrs. Chalgren believes that only by giving, and giving richly, can one re- ceive the fullest appreciation of what life has to offer. She takes her work seriously, and has been putting all of her time and energy into furthering the interests of Roosevelt High. She is truly a valuable addition to the school. ff f X ,DOROTHY M. cl-IALGREN .-1' if f Lk!!! H If rm..
