Has a laugh heard ' round the school. MR. HOMER M. JESSEE, Principal If I were a youth now, I would develop my abilities to their fullest capacities, to be in readiness for the opportunities that are to be presented in the not distant future. Millions of new type homes, millions of new and finer autos, new roads, new railway equipment, improved fami machinery, new factories, and various other new types of construction must take the place of the old and obsolete. Air conditioning will be perfected ; rural electrification will be completed; in short, this country must and 11 be rebuilt in the next fifty years.

Jessee, Principal Although these structures are comparatively new, and possess all the facilities of a modern school, their utilitarian and archi- tectural stability lends them an atmosphere imparted usually by time and tradition alone.
