Yr S 'S-29 Little cogs need big wheels to keep them on the right track. In an engine the cogs keep the wheels turning, but in T.H.S. the wheels do the spinning. lt's positively amazing how much work goes to keep a school running. And just think: we wouldn't have school with- out it . . . the nurse as readily washing cuts as splinting arms . . . the superintendent shouldering responsibility for the entire school . . . the secretaries hopping from typewriter to filing cabinet to adding machine . . . the board favoring us by hiring such fine teachers . . . the faculty yakking away, unbowed and undaunted . . . the student council remedying student gripes . . . the principal and his right hand man wielding the big stick . . . their secretary passing out stencils, staplers, tacks, and information to desperate students . . . the custodians sweeping, straightening, and smiling . . . and the bus drivers beating the same old path day by day. l Z 5 1 v4 ZA k l

The gym and a section of the new wing was shot from the football field. De- signed by Mr Balch and constructed by the Beggs Co., this wing includes two eighth grade classrooms and an art section composed of a large drawing room. a modeling platform a. stock room and a pottery room. Built to the tune of S84,997, the buildings were ready Monday November 30 1953. Who's taken the most interest in school lately? The Quarterback Club, of course. In recognition the Telescope staff dedi- cates to them the 1954 annual. Since its organization in November, 1952, the Quarterback Club has devoted itself to promoting and supporting all activities of THS. Led by Charles Paine, Charles Bell, Kenneth Bell, and Frank Hanket, the Quarterbackers erected poles and lights on the football field. These men were awarded lifetime mem- berships in the QB Club and lifetime passes to all THS athletic events. A scoreboard for the field was purchased by the club and installed by village maintenance on their own time under the direction of Scotty Ross. At all home football games QB members helped CSF girls sell tickets. Plans are being made to put in portable grandstands. But first comes a fence enclosing the field. Most important, though, was the infec- tious Quarterback spirit that spearhead- ed the wholehearted support of the whole town. At home or away, win or lose, the Quarterbacks were there-and always in good voice.
