Incidently, the new glass block windows in the art room helped to provide a much better light for our S. H. S. artists. Algebra class, where we first learned the principles which aided us in advanced math- ematical classes, was popular with the fresh- men. We had a new teacher, also — Mr. Henry Tropp. Down in the Ag room there were quite a few busy fellows learning the newest and best farming methods.

Consequently, we spent much time pouring over maps, reading daily newspapers and listen- ing to the radio.
