mf? :J O L9 fx Q v . test o R Y u N F o L D s HIGH SCHOOL was opened to the community on the of September, 1934. Since that time it has become of community activity as well as a' modern and efficient institution. From the interest of the community has ttion of the rough, rutty clay of the ground the school into the terraced, landscaped campus affords a proper setting for the building. Alderman Mrs. Henry Hansen deserve our gratitude for this campus. It has come to be part of our school life, by track, baseball and football teams, enjoyed by all times over. Steinmetz has achieved for itself a substantial name in the country. Among its attainments can be num- and athletics, in civic contests and R.O.T.C. events. The have grown through the years until they can be rated at Steinmetz were different from present ones. The students of 1934 were serious dnd interested only in school work. Disinterested boys and girls of that time at- tended school only because there was nothing else to do. Living standards and wages were very low then. Between the serious and uninterested students were some few who tried to raise funds and provide entertainment. The student of today tries to maintain his scholastic work and still participates in many extra-curricular activities. Students now study and work to do their part for the war effort. Saving is encouraged by the promo- tion of war stamp and bond sales. Yes, changes have taken place. A student may not notice the transition from one trend to another during his four year stay Cexcept in the case of something as abrupt as the declaration of warl, but in viewing these ten years it is possible to see how each graduating class differs from the others. Graduates of l934 hoped they might be fortunate enough to find a position and eventually establish them- selves. Some of them looked ahead to four years at college. Young men graduating now must delay their further education and their own choice of business or profession. They must 'help to win a war. Many young women are so engaged, too, in nursing or other service. War has brought Steinmetz new emblems, the Minute Man Flag, our badge of merit: the servicetflag, our shield of honor, its twenty-two gold stars dedicated to the Steinmetz students who gave the last full measure of devotion.
