March l7-Saint Patrick's Day, There certainly are some strange lrishmen in this school. I fully expected Beebe Walker to come to school in a green costume. , March 18-The walls, floor, ceiling and the sidewalk are spattered with fire extinguishing fluid. The Chemistry classes are experimenting With home- made fire extinguishers. It sure is surprising the distance and accuracy you can get with a good one. March 19-The Armstrong's won another game this Week by trimming a South Bend team. The H. S. team returned some of the loyal support it had during its season. March 20-Spring is certainly coming at last. A lot of the little Freshmen are playing marbles. and an indoor baseball game is held about every noon in back of the school. March 21-The Varsity Club successfully staged the first and only all school dance of the year. March 24-The school has been waiting for the familiar March lamb which was due to arrive here. Like all lambs he has a thick white covering but it isn't dry and Warm.

S.-I want to thank any and all who had the supreme courage, endurance and persistence to read this completely and I hope it wasn't as much work as it was writing it. Page One Hundred Sixteen

I Ie elite Fairbanks, Morse 8: Co. Manufacturers of Pumps Motors Engines Scales Railroad Equipment BEGINNING THE SECOND CENTURY CDF AN IDEAL From Egypt came the crude balance. From Rome the unwieldy steelyard. ln five thousand years of civilization man had made no worthier contribution to the science of weighing until a century ago. In T830 Thaddeus Fairbanks, buying hemp from his Vermont neighbors, conceived the system of weights and levers which is the foundation of every modern scale. Commonplace now-but so revolutionary in 1830 that the leading countries of the world con- ferred high honors upon the ingenious Yankee who gave mankind a method of accurate weighing that has affected profoundly the barter and trade of commerce. TOO years ago! Yet today the name Fairbanks is still synonymous with accurate weight. An inspiring example of business success built upon an Ideal with which T930 begins its second century. Truly, the very basis of barter and commerce lies in man's ability to accurately fix quantity. Each year sees new demands made upon that organization which created modern weighing. With a feeling of pride in its hundred years of achievement, Fairbanks-Morse feels zestfully the challenge of its Second Century. And Fairbanks-Morse is grateful for its place in American life and industry. The organiza- tion shall pursue with iustified pride, new attainments in the elimina- tion of the variable and unknown quantities in America's commerce. r.,,...--F ..
