FOREWARD It is amazing the strides science has taken in uncovering some of the mysteries of the world. Things which were but a dream a few years ago have become realities—in fact commonplace instruments of our civilization. One needs to take but one example to show the rapid development of an industry and a science. The idea of man flying had its beginning centuries ago, but the concept was to be realized with in the last sixty years. Since the flight of the Kitty-Hawk the steps toward man's conquering the air have been nothing short of phenomenal. New stratosphere ships with tremendous speed seems a reality. Now a great industry and a great science have developed around aviation. Needless to say the development of this science rests upon education which has provided man's mind with fundamentals of mathematics, sciences and general mental power. Now in our schools pupils are being prepared to take their place in the everchang-ing world. In spite of great handicaps the schools of America are foraging ahead preparing the youth for the future. The challenge of flight has been met but mankind still is confronted with many problems. One of these has to do with world relationships. Man’s social progress has not kept pace with his scientific and mechanical advancement. It is hoped that as the flight of man becomes a reality because of mans' determination to conquer the problem so will a peaceful, happy world be realized as education conditions the mind for that day. It is hoped that as the development of the airplane has destroyed distances in a physical world, so may man find a medium for destroying the distances between their viewpoints. Thus we may look forward to a new period which mans' social development will bring forth a more abundant ilfe. Charles A. Overmeyer Page 9

Seated: Superintendent Charles A. Overmeyer Standing: Left to right; Barbara Whetsel, Barbara Fox, Beverly Girardot, Evelyn Martin. Iris Leins. THE OFFICE STAFF The office staff is composed of five girls, Barbara Fox, Barbara Whetsel, Evelyn Martin, Beverly Girardot, and Iris Leins. They contribute a portion of their schooltime towards completing records, keeping books, typing and various other details connected with office practice. The work of the office is quite general so that many of their duties trains them for business occupations after they leave school. These girls give unselfishly of their time and energies and their efforts are appreciated by the administration. As the school year draws to a close, we realize there will be only one who will return to carry on the duties of the office. Iris Leins, who is now a Junior, will have another year. The other four are all Seniors, and will be remembered for their great help throughout the years in which they gave their extra time. Page 10
