Daily through these well-loved halls We Went, a happy throng, Often laughing, sometimes not, When classes dragged along. High school days are gladsome days, Filled with joys and tears, Yet every graduate admits They were his happiest years. And now at last, the time has come For us to take our leave. With tear-dimmed eye we say good-bye, Though it's no time to grieve. The whole world lies before us, Its treasures are ours to use: Do what you can with what you have, Strive hard-you've nothing to lose. Good luck to the friends we're leaving, Some day we may meet again, And many a look through this lovely b Will bring mem'ries ot you, until then -Lily 1.25553 j EW72 f 1, 1' W H t- S3 bf .W M .

As a research scientist for General Electric Company, Steinmetz deserves for every device in connection with alternating since he invented the power transformer tor current and proved that it was safe to use remember him as the maker of testing insulation. He died in 1923. To the left we see Steinmetz High School as it looked in 1931. Thus steel beams and girders remained for three years, when federal aid was granted for its completion. Below we see our school lighted for some eve- ning function, a band concert, a P.T.A. Father's Night, a play, or graduation exercises.
