- i - :? using your school Quilna, a most colorful character — an industrious and understanding Shawnee Indian chief, who befriended the pioneers of Allen County by always being willing to offer his time, talent, and possessions for their betteiment — is the delightful personage for whom our annual high school yearbook is named. You, the reader, are the all-important thing to us, as the pioneer was to Quilna. As he offered what he had to help the pioneer, we, the staff, offer what we have to help you. We want to help you remember how you used your school in nineteen hundred fifty-seven. Using Your School, we think, is an appropriate theme for Quilna 57. Since the people who used this school by living and learning here, and the acts they performed in doing so, are of such vital interest to you, we have divided your book into two sections: People, including all of the administra- tors, teachers, and students, starting on page sixteen, and Action, giving de- tails about features, sports and activities, starting on page sixty.

architect ' s dream A Strong, Strong, and Strong architect of Lima made this first actual drawing of the proposed building for public ob- servation in early July, 1953. blue prints - ' , ' After the blueprints were approved, September 22, 1954, a Knowlton con- struction engineer made final calcula- tions on determining a procedure for erecting the edifice. Slowly, from the depths of a de- serted field, rose a majestic structure of education. Twenty-three months elapsed between that cold misty No- vember morning, when snorting bull- dozers broke the silence of classes, to that quiet, sunny afternoon when the equipment was gone and the building completed. One and a half million dollars, thou- sands of working hours and the minds, emotions, and muscles of hundreds of people helped mold this structure. Many people set a goal and worked for it — do you see what they gave us? ground breaking Architect, board members, and edu- cators assemble for the official break- ing of the ground ceremonies on November 8, 1954.
