Tolleston High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Gary, IN)

In 1936, John Arden, who was then a junior, created the design for our school crest. The idea he used is based upon the historical account that George Tolle, an early pioneer, used a large stone as his starting point when he surveyed his claim of land. It was called Tollc's Stone, and later the village which sprang up was called Tolleston. John Arden John Orth, class of ’40, is another of our grad- uates with special interest in art. The pencil portrait of Superintendent H. S. Jones on page 9 speaks for itself in revealing his ability. John Orth Helen Susla Fred Swedenhjelm Regina Schneider George Kurth Helen Susla, Fred Swedenhjelm, Regina Schneider, and George Kurth, students in this year’s Senior Class, show that Tolleston is living up to its past record of excellence in art. Another student, who deserves mention, is Anna Someson, a sophomore. 6

Helen Susla and Fred Swedenhjelm, seniors, did the work necessary for this and the four succeeding title pages of our book. The clay figures were about eight inches in height. Close observation of every detail will give the reader a conception of the hours they spent in preparing these scenes for the photographer. The high degree of success which these young art students achieved under the direction of Miss Coble merits praise. 7
