    The document provides a history of the American School in Mexico City from its founding in 1888 to the present day. It summarizes that the school began as a small kindergarten and grew over time, changing names and locations as it expanded. A key turning point was in 1919 when land was donated for a new building, though funds could not be raised at first due to unrest in Mexico. The school reorganized in 1921 as the American School Foundation and finally built a new campus in 1922-1923 with significant support from donors. It has since grown to enroll over 900 students from many nationalities under the long-time leadership of Superintendent H. L. Cain.

    The American School was born on August
    6, 1888, in a room at the hom2 of -vir. J. R.
    Davis in 2a. Calle cle Jturbide, next door to t he
    present offices cf the newspaper "El Univer
    sal". The happy mothEr was Mrs. Bessie McRae
    Files, who had come from Houston, Texas, two
    months befor e with her daughter, Mrs. John
    R. Davis, and her hvo young gr-andchildren
    with the hope of developing the newest educa-
    tional systems f or thE' m in Mexico. The school ,
    which \VaS originall y onl y a kindergarten, vVaS
    immedi atel y patronized by American, British,
    and Mexican parents eager to have thei r chil-
    dren take advantage of thi s new t ype of instruc-
    tion. Soon the founder and Mr . Davis were
    confront 2d with another problem: the insistent
    demand of par ents for an American-st yle educa-
    ti cn for elder children. Bef')re much t ime had
    elapsed, Mr. Davis was flooded with r equests
    to enlarge the school. In August, 1894, he s ent
    out a call for a meeCing of those interes ted in
    such a proj ect. From this meeting grew the
    present American School. Mr. John R. Davis!
    who was elected chairman, became the fir st
    president and father of the American Sch')ol in
    l\1exico.
    Three days after thi s meeting all final
    plans -vv er e completed and it was decided that
    this new enterpri se should bear the name of
    the Mexico City Grammar School. The school
    was to be di vided int J three main di visions:
    kindergar ten, primar y, and gramrnar grades,
    with the t uition at $6.00, $8.50, and 11.00,
    respecti vely. Classes were begun at Call e de
    Colon No. 9 Qn November 5, 1894. During the
    fi rst tvvo m-onths the Mexico City Grammar
    School enrolled ninet y-six pupil s and the enroll-
    ment continued to increase so rapidl y that the
    school was for ced to move twice in order to
    accommodate all t he new applicants.
    In 1902 a high school was added and the
    name of the school was changed to the Mexico
    City Grammar and High School. The f aculty
    in 1905 consisted of twenty-seven t eachers
    and the enrollment was about five hundred.
    In 1904 so many of the students were with-
    drawn because of epidemics of scarlet fever and
    measles that the school had great financial
    difficulties.
    In 1905 a group of prominent professional
    and business men united to form The Amer-
    ican School Association. This group included
    a few former associates of the Mexico Citv
    Grammar School, among wliom were Mr. G. E.
    Cummings and Mr. K. M. Von Zandt, Jr. The
    first school was located in Colonia San Rafael
    at Industria No. 15. School opened in 1905
    with an enrollment of about eighty Amerir an
    and English students. All grades from kinder-
    garten through high school were taught and
    the entire faculty was brought from the United
    States. The school rapidl y developed and in
    1912 the enrollment had increased to five
    f1 unclred and seventy-six pupils. In 1915 the
    Board of Directors el ected Mr. Charles, E.
    Cummings their presicbnt. Mr. Cummings, one
    of the most popular members -of the American
    Colony, remained on the board for twelve years.
    A turning point in the history of the Amer-
    ican School occurred in July, 1919, when Mr.
    Ed-vvard W. Orrin offered a tract of land in
    Colonia Roma as a site for a new school build-
    7
    ing. This plot, which contained 7143 sq. meters,
    was donated on the condition that "by not later
    than Dec. 31, 1919, the necessary money for
    the erection and equipment of an adequate
    school building shall have been assured".
    On account of the unsettled conditions in
    -vr:exico at the time, it was impossible to raise
    the necessary funds w'ithin the .time limit and
    on December 30, 1919, lVI:r. Orrin withdrew his
    offer. _
    At this time the lVfexican Government
    decided to take over the National Railway and
    to substitute .Mexican employees in positions
    previously held by Americans.
    This, together with lVIexican Revolutions
    and the European \Var, caused so much unrest
    in the American Colony that the American
    School Association was unable to continue in
    operation without a great loss. However, the
    Board of Directors was not easily discouraged
    and decided the only possible solution to their
    problem was reorganization. This reorganiza-
    tion was effected on July 19, 1921. The school
    was then given the title which it bears today,
    the American School Foundation.
    The 1nost difficult problem now \vas to get
    a suitable bt.iilding. In August, 1921, Mr. S.
    Bolling Wright was Elected to the Board of
    Trustees and became treasurer in September.
    He volunteered to pay Mr. Orrin a visit to see
    if some arrange1nent could be made whereby
    lVrr. Orrin \vould consent to renew his generous
    la.nd offer. After several interviews with 1\i[r.
    Orrin, Mr. \Vright personally guaranteed that
    the necessary fund& for the construction of the
    school would be raised. lVIr. Orrin accepted the
    proposition, and on l\!Iarch 26, 1924, delivered
    the deed for the land. Immediately Mr. Wright
    began a campaign for funds. During the years
    1922-1923 S123, 153.39 pesos were raised. The
    corner stone was laid by .Mr. Orrin on Feb-
    ruary 22, 1922, and the school was ready for
    occupancy on October 5 of the same year.
    It is only fair that the name of Lewis Lam.m
    be mentioned as one of the biggest supporters
    of the An1erican School. He personally designed,
    constructed, and supervised the building of the
    school. Mr. Lamn1 also made loans to the school
    and helped in many other ways. Mr. Bolling
    \Vright has been the President of the Board of
    Trustees since 1922. To l\1r. H. R. Bradbury,
    Secretary, goes the honor of having served
    longest on the Board.
    The American School Foundation is self-
    supporting and non-profit making. It has beelJ
    8
    a member of the Southern Association of Col-
    leges and Secondary Schools since 1930. Mr.
    H. L. Cain had become Superintendent of the
    American School Foundation in 1927. It was
    t hrough his untiring effort and interest in
    student \velfare that the American School ac-
    quired its membership in the Southern As-
    sociation, the organization that enables grad-.
    uates of the American High School to enter
    colleges in the United States without taking
    entrance exa:ninations and with the assurance
    that their credits \Vill be accepted.
    Hovv l\1r. Cain bPcame Superintendent of
    the American School is a very interesting story.
    In the spring of 1926, l\1r. Cain was study-
    ing at Baylor University for his Master's de-
    gree. At that time Mr. Jeremiah Rhodes, then
    superintendent Of the American School in Mex-
    ico, was teaching a s u m m e r school class
    of vvhich Mr. Cai1i. was a member. In the course
    cf the summer Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Cain became
    very good friends. It also happened at this time
    that the American School was without a prin-
    cipal and arrangements had been made for a
    man from North Dakota to fill this vacancy.
    The latter, however, on arriving at Laredo and
    hearing of the possibilities of a revolution in
    l\1exico-a clash between the church and the
    government-refused the offer.
    l\1r. Rhodes then asked Mr. Cain if he would
    like to accept the position as Principal of the
    American School. Mr. Cain, who had taught
    school for six years, had done graduate work in
    the field of education. The follo\ving year, 1927,
    l\1r. Rhodes resigned his post to go on an ex-
    tended European tour and in the following fall
    thf' Board of Trustees elected Mr. Cain Super-
    intendent of the American School, a position
    held ever since.
    Under the able direction of l\1r. Cain, the
    school has greatly expanded and its enroll-
    n1ent now totals nine hundred students re-
    presenting twenty-three nationalities, as fol-
    lows: l\1exican, 423; American, 320; British,
    52; Spanish. 19; German, 17; Russian, 15;
    Dutch, 9; French, 8; Polish, 5; Czech, 5; Li-
    thuanian, 4; Armenian, 4; Swiss, 4; Gautema-
    lan, 3; Austrian, 2; Cuban, 2: Sw2dish, 2; Ar-
    gentinian, 1; Belgian, 1; Venezuelan, 1; Syrian,
    1 ; Danish, 1 ; Hungarian, 1.
    The school's plans for future expansion
    include a modern well-equipped home econ-
    omics department and a new auditorium, now
    under construction, to be completed by June
    of this year.

    This song -vvas composed by the music ir. structor, Professor William lVIcDowell McNealy,
    In 1902 when the school was on Calle Industri a.
    Through the kindness of l\ifrs. Grace Carnes Harrell, whose daughter, Peggy, gr aduat ed
    fr om the American School in 1940, the Anahuac obtained the words and music to this song.

    ACTIVITIES
    It has been said that the Am,erican School in Mexico City is "the most American school in
    the world." There may be those who consider this a slight exaggeration, but we rather think it
    true. Are we not a miniature melting pot? Have not pioneering ideals fostered our growth? Do
    we not as an institution still offer opportunity to those who seek "a brave new world?" Do we not
    practice as well as preach Pan-Americanism?
    vVe like to call attention to the fact, moreover, that our school in its unique organization
    not only complies with the technical requirements of two distinct educational philosophies but also
    meets the broader personal needs of a highly cosmopolitan group. For our secundaria repr3Sents a
    purely Mexican branch of education, while our high school is purely American, fulfilling the requi-
    rements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Our primary school ac-
    cordingly is so organized that its graduates are prepared to enter whichever of the two higher
    schools better suits their educational plans. It is also possible for students graduating from the
    secundaria to enter the second semester of the sophomore year.
    Our school activities, however, extend beyond the classroom. In numerous clubs, far-reach-
    ing in their scope, congenial groups of students are brought together. Famous are the week-end
    excursions of the Hiking Club sponsored by Miss Cole, l:).S are the ~ a c k Cat kermesses, the Com-
    mercial Club luncheons, the Sorority-Fraternity dances, not to mention the charitable activities of
    the Polk-a-Dots. Of more serious nature are the activities of the Art, Journalism, and Glee Clubs;
    and as in every well-rounded curriculum, athletics are given due emphasis.

    The St1,1dent Council, under the sponsorship of lVIr. l\1urray, is composed of the officers of
    ach class. Since these officers are elected, the council is truly representative of the student body.
    It is the hub of all student activities. Its member5, moreaver, by maintaining discipline in the ~
    brary, halls, and lunchroom become experienced in self-government and thus foster the American 3 :
    spirit of democracy.

    THE 5 c 0 0 p
    The published bi-monthly, is the organ of the Journalism Club. Records show that
    since 1915 the school has published a ne-vvspaper which has been know by various names, such as
    The School Press, The School Record, Pep, Cactus, The American School News and, finally, T'he
    Scoop.
    During the first semester of this year, Thomas was sponsor of The Scoop, with Con-
    suela del Campo as editor, and Rafael Sierra editor for the secundaria section. The staff was
    reappointed in February when Miss Allen took over the sponsorship, and lVIagdalena Urquidi be-
    came editor, to succeed Consuela del Campo, who became literary editor of The Anahuac. Rafael
    Si.erra continued to be in charge of the secundaria section which adopted the name Latino.
    A recent development has been the incorporation of the primary paper The Skipper, so
    that The Scoop now reflects the opinions, record3 the activities, and caters to the interests of the
    entire student body.

    The Skipper was organized by the 6 A in 1940 as a means of practicing the writing of
    English. A staff and reporter were elected who wor ked hard to produce the few issues of The
    Skippe.r that appeared during the year.
    Finding it too difficult to edit a paper St,,ely for the primary, the sixth grade 111 1941 was
    happy to become incorporated with The Scoop. Although the staff of the Skipper was selected
    from the sixth grade, representatives of each grade helped to obtain news on class activities.
    The skipper staff for 1941 is as followR:

    PRIZE \x'/INNING SHORT STORY
    THE LAST PATIENT
    One more patient to attend in the emergency ward, where long rows of suffering people
    were valiantly trying to stifle their cries of pain, and old Doctor Grayson could snatch a bite to
    eat and a couple of hours' sleep. In these days, doctors took time for sleep only when they wer e
    ready to fall. Doctor Grayson was tired, but he wanted to finish the ward before going out.
    The light was din1 in this corner of the room; the m'Janings were unbearable, but nothing
    more could be done to stop them. That burst of bombs far and near, sometimes hitting the
    hospital itself (like the' one that had struck the entrance less than three hours ago), did not bother
    Doctor Grayson any longer; he had grown used to it all, and so had these brave people about him.
    Doctor Grayson turned slowly to the last patient. He saw a pale youth with lids closed
    and solemn lips. Small beads of sweat were on the boy's forehead. The doctor stared at the boy for
    a steady moment, horrified at what he saw. Recovering himself presently, he went about the
    examination. The pulse was too swift, the respiration far from normal, the forehead was burn-
    ing. Doctor Grayson threw open the clothes to examine the wound in the chest. Tears came to his
    eyes at the sight.
    "It must have been a piece of shrapnel," mused the doctor to himself. "Only a transfusion
    can save him." He summoned a nearby nurse.
    "Please tell Doctor Carby that I wish to see him immediately," he told her.
    'Vaiting for Doctor Carby to come, old Doctor Grayson recalled the day, two weeks ago,
    when he had said goodby to his fa.mily. VVith great difficulty he had managed to get them permis-
    sion to leave for a less frequented spot in the country. The government was being ver strict
    clear roads; masses of frightened people were not to hinder the movem.ent of His Majesty' s
    troops when the invasion came. Since the day of parting, he had not heard from them.
    "You sent for m.e ?" asked Doctor Carby.
    Look at this boy," said Grayson v.rjth a sad tone of voice. "He's dying. His only
    chance is a transfusion."
    "Ycu are right about that,'' said Doctor Carby, stooping over the wounded boy, "but I' m
    afraid that that is impossible for the present. There is no blood available in the hospital at the
    1noment and it would take hours, probably days, to find a donor."
    "I know," said Doctor Grayson calmly, "that is why I sent for you. I viTish to offer my blood,
    and though it may not be the type needed, still in an emergency like this, any kind of blood js
    better than none at all."
    "But Doctor Grayson," $aid the alarmed Doctor Carby, "think of how weak you are a1-
    ready. For weeks now, v,re've been working almost twenty:-four hours a day. I doubt if you could
    stand a loss of blood."
    . Doctor Grayson vl'as pensive. He said. "This boy has reached the military age and if \V8
    save him, there will be one more man fighting for democracy. Our country and our ideals go before
    everything else."
    "It is precisely because our country is first that you should spare yourself," continued
    D'Jctor Carby. "Of the two of you, the country needs you more. Your many other patients have a
    right to your help too."
    Doctor Grayson said nothing. He knew Doctor Carby was right. With his head low, he
    went back to the boy-'s bedside.
    The lips were trying to say something. Doctor Grayson put his ear close to the boy's lip8.
    At first he could make nothing of the indistinct numbling, but gradually Doctor Grayson caught
    the words, "Mother ... and sisters ... safe ... the country. Mother ... and sisters. . . safe. . . the
    country."
    Suddenly the numbling ceased. Doctor Grayson turned pale.
    "Quick, a hypodermic," he asked of the nurse. Time seemed t.o pass so slowly! The heat
    'vas oppressive, the moanings intolerable. Finally Doctor Carby came with the hypodermic.
    Grayson snatched it and was about to insert the needle in the thin arm, when slowly he put it
    back.
    "It's, too late," he said.
    Doctor Carby remained by Doctor Grayson's side, very much impressed by the doctor.'s
    obvious unhappiness.
    "It is best that it happened thus," said old Doctor Graysmi. more to himself than to any-
    one else. "My wife and two girls are safe nmv, and my my son, has lost his life to hi s
    country: God bless them all!" . .

    THE FIRST FIVE YEARS
    Many people say that the first hundred years are the hardest, but to my mind, the first
    five years of one's life are certainly the most ter rific. Take me, for example. While I was still in
    the hospital, the dizzy-looking little blonde nurse got me mixed up with a little boy and, at feed-
    ing time, I found .myself being fondly embraced by a large foreign lady with a rather prominent
    nose. Luckily for me, however, the nurse realiz 2d her mistake before it was fatal and rescued me,
    r est or ing me to my anxious mother with many effusive apologies.
    I, too, developed an intense liking for f res h raw meat and, although the doctor would
    been scandalized, I secured it in the form of grasshoppers, which I often stalked in our small back
    yard.
    Several months later, as if my various other badnesses weren't already superfluous, I near-
    ly drove my mother entirely distracted by swallowing an open safety pin. However, due to gohs
    of bananas, I survived.
    Then, when I started walking, I flew int o a rage because I couldn't master the art at fi rst
    try. When I tried to talk, it was still more exasperating. Take my birthday cake, for instancP,
    proudly displaying one pink candle. It was delectable, but after one little stingy piece I was told
    t hat more might make me sick and, despite all my grunts and howls, superior discipline prevail-
    ed. If only I could have told them!
    Spankings were plentiful during those first few years, for every now and then I went back
    t o the cave-man era and had to be gently ( ?) :reminded that I was living in a somewhat more
    civilized world. .
    My troubles hadn't as yet ended, for when at . the age of five I started to school, I came
    home with a torn dress, tear-stained face, dirty hands, minus a tooth, and very much disgusted
    with the severe discipline of Royal Road. One of my teachers whose job it was to rescue me from
    n1y tormentors persisted until she had imbedded in me the principle of an eye for an eye and a
    tooth f or a tooth. Once I learned that lesson, it was more or less easy going and I emerged from
    t hose first five years a wiser, if not a sweeter child.

    PRIZE vVINNING NARRATIVE .OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
    A Past Experience (Thank God)
    lV[any years ago vvhen I was but a child in the fourth grade, my fancy turned toward a girl
    whom at the time I though inexpressibly cute. .
    After my decision that she was cute. my fir st action was to call her up and tell her so. Tm-
    l11ediately we became infatuated with each other. A beautiful friendship grew between us, and
    from that day on we averaged at least five telephone conversations and numerous notes
    Incidentally, the notes were of no great literary value and the spelling was absolutely atroci(rus.
    The writing also lacked something to be desired, since I have been told by a snoop (my brother),
    into whose hands it fell that one of the notes started with something that looked like, "My beer
    Tonny". All of this, has little or no bearing on the story, so I shall not enlarge upon it.
    But, as usually happens, this wonderful bliss, this perfect happiness, was not to last. My
    fancy again took a turn. Our love notes and telephone conversations became shorter and less fre-
    quent. Finally I decided to tell her (over the telephone of course, since she was pretty tough a!ld
    had a fiery temper) that I no longer loved her. When' she heard this, an ominous click was her only
    eomment. The incident was then entirely forgotten until the next day at school. That day the in-
    cident was to be recalled vividly, and with its memory were to come regrets which I remember t o
    t hi s day.
    The first event that caused regret came immediately upon. my arriving' at school in the
    form of an ambush and caused me to receive a severe blow on the head. This maneuver was re-
    peated time and again throughout the day.
    At last the final bell rang, and I, greatly relieved, turned my tired feet homeward. But,
    no, this was not to be-l was suddenly confronted by a wildcat (or at least, so I thought at the
    moment) which my friends later told me was my forsaken lover. This time, due either to chivalry
    or to her greater strength-! don't know which of the two-I was entirely defeated and humiliat-
    ed.
    One week later a new girl arrived at school and, upon seeing her, my first thought was,
    "My goodness, how cute she is." ,
    Immediately after arriving home from school I called her up over the telephone and told
    her ......... no, I had best not go into that since there is only a limited amount of space avail-
    able for this story. Suffice it to say that I hadn't profited by past experience.

    In response to our request s :for materia1 on the hi story of our school, many old-timers sent
    us interesting information. 1\'Iuch of it is already embodied in the sketch at the beginning of thi s
    book. lV[uch of it was repetition. \Ve have, hovvcver, gathered some interesting bits in the way of
    personal recollections and anecdotes.
    To 1\'Ir. Ralph Caba.nas, who gave us m0st of our information on English schools in lV[exico
    City, the f0renmners of our school, we give spEc.ial thanks. He sent us the following data: "vVith
    th2 exception of some English instruction by missionaries and some private tutoring in English,
    there is no record of any organized teaching in t he English language in l\'Iexico City, until
    establishment early in 1884 of the SELECT SCHOOL by l\!Irs. Rosa Morrison de Ca-
    banas at her home at Calle Hipolito No. 26 (now Avenida Hidalgo) with her son and daughter and
    seven little American and English friends ranging in ages fr om five to nine years old. By the eu.::1
    of the year a large room adjoining was occupied, and desks and the most modern school-room
    equipment, ordered from the United States, was installed, the number .of pupils having increased
    to abot:1t sixteen. This was closed at the end of the school year in 1889, having at times had
    an attendance of as many as thirty-eight pupils to whom all Grammar Grades were taught ... "
    Here, then, was the very begining of the present American School. However, during the
    years between .the lives of the SE-LECT ENGLISH SCHOOL and our school today we have the
    MEXICO CITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
    The school kept on developing and had marked periods of growth. From the Mexico City
    Gr ammar Schcol, it developing into the MEXICO CITY GRAMlvrAR AND HIGH SCHOOL, then
    THE AMERICAN SCHOOL ASSOCIATION, and, finally, in . 1921, THE AMERICAN SCHOO:G
    FOUNDATION, the school we have today. Numerous are the tales that old-timers tell us about
    student life in the early American School.
    Mrs. Koeneman, Jacqueline Man-
    ning's mother, gives us a picture of
    the students' life at the American
    School Association. She relates that
    " .. .it vvas an endless trek across to,T;n
    each day to get to school-and most
    of us walked ! School wr s in an old
    house. The rooms were sunny enough,
    but it had never been designed for a
    school, with a narrow cemented
    courtyard in which to play. vVe didn' t
    have a handsome library such as you
    have now, nor did we have an audi-
    tori urn. We used to balance pre-
    cariously on a couple of planks which
    constituted the stage for our per-
    for-mances ... "
    1'19
    The Revolutionary days proved t o
    be exciting ones in the history of our
    school. Again quoting Mrs.
    man: " ... r 2bel troops would m0ve in
    just any old day, and it was then the
    task of the school to get the children
    safely home. Generally the National
    Paper and Type Company came to the
    rescue by sending out a delivery
    wagon as there were few, if any, mo-
    tor trucks those days. Two spunky
    mules used to speed us on our way.
    What bumpy rides! We'd pass the
    street-cars which had been comman-
    deered by the rebels and gaily wave
    at them. We were really grateful to
    them. But for them we'd have missed
    those good bumpy rides in the wa-
    gon ... "
    Mrs. Eistetter, mother of Betsy Lee and Tony, remembers that, " ... High School all sat
    in one room and the Principal taught algebra, geometry, and some other subjects; Mts.
    Par,minter, head of the present Cambridge School, taught E-nglish, French, . German, and other
    subjects. We went morning and aftern0on." Mrs. Eistetter is the daughter of Mrs. C. B. Woods
    who, in the year 1900, took the place of the Principal, Mr. J. E. Smith, who was called away t o
    San Antonio. Mrs. Woods when in Mexico was fortunate in having met many of the most distin-
    guished men of their time, including Porfirio Diaz, Jose Limantour, and Francisco I. Madero.
    Baseball games were just as popular in the "good old days" as they now. Maybe ' thi s
    was because standing prizes of "as much ice cream as you can eat" were donated by Mr. Cartlidge
    to the winning baseball team of the American St:hool against the English School. Castor oil was
    included in the treat.
    The American School has seen and produced many plays, but , the first high school plr.! y,
    which was written by Franklin Cummings, teacher of English, was probably the most exciting of
    them all. This play was called "Peggy Takes Boarders".
    Recess is still considered by many as the best part of school. Apparently, this is no n')-
    velty. Again, we have Mrs. Koeneman's opinion, " ... recess," she tells us, "was always an occa-
    sion. The "portero's" wife made the most delectable tortillas. They cost about two for a cent with
    chile sauce free-the hottest sauce imaginahle. It generally to0k th 3 rest of the morning to recover
    from the effects, but next day we were at it again."
    These facb; which we have gathered help to show the changes that have come about
    throughout the years. Nevertheless, classes, homework, books, and "good old school spirit"
    are some of the things that constitute the backbone of our school and will probably never becom2
    very greatly altered.
    150
    We wish to thank heartily all
    those people who have so kindly given
    us their cooperation and time. The
    ones w2 wish to thank especially are
    the following: Mrs. G0rtlandt B.

    LAYinG THE CORnER S fOnE
    Through t he courtesy of Miss Stella Bell, we obtained this picture of the three men who
    have done most for the American School: Mr. Edward W. Orrin, Mr. Lewis Lamm, and Mr. S.
    Bolling Vv right.
    Mr. Orrin, whom we see laying the corne!. s tcme of our building, donated the land where the
    school now stands. In recognition of this gift , t he library was called the Edward vV. Orrin Library.
    The school, however, could not have been built without the assistance of the other two
    men whose names are linked with that of Mr. Orrin-Mr. S. Bo.Jling Wright, and Mr. Lewis Lamm.
    Mr. \Vright, not oi1ly organized a two-yP.3X drive to raise the funds necessary for the con-
    sttuction of our buildir.g, but has also served years as PretJident of the American -.School
    Fonndation, never begrudging time or eff0rt in the interest of the school.
    Once th2 land and money were obtained, Mr. Lewi s Lamm donated his services in
    and superintending the construction of the building, lending, moreover, great financial assitance.
    The old auditorium bore his name, and the new structure now being buHt by Mr. Lewis Lamm Jr;
    will also be known as the "Lewis Lamm Auditorium".
    Never shall the school forget these three men-let us never forget that we are here
    cause of them.

    Beloved "1Vfother Clifton" is our
    favorite "old timer". For twenty-
    three years now, she has been teach-
    ing in our school, and if an American
    Sch')ol pupil graduates without hav-
    ing been in her class, h2 feels that
    somehow or other he has been cheat-
    ed In fact, twenty-four members nf
    this year's graduath1g class had b8en
    with Mrs. Clifton in the fifth grade.
    Yet Mrs. Clifton laughingly tells us
    that she is "only a substitute," for m;
    such she first came to the American
    School, and so far as she knows. hex
    status has never been changed.
    a substitute! 1ve say .
    Indeed, early in her career Mrs. Clift')n :ran causing sensations in the teaching world by
    her modern methods in an old fashioned town. As soon as the parents of her pupils, however, be-
    came aware of the wonderful success she was making in teaching the children to read, they couldn't
    praise her enough.
    Mrs. Clifton came to :Mexico in 1904, and in 1919 she began teaching in the Am2rican
    Sch0ol, then situated on Calle Altamirano. The year, the school moved to the corner o:f
    Arquitectos and Artes, and from there to its present site.
    1\tiore than anything 1\l[rs. Clifton loves teaching children especially those in th.e fifth
    grade, and she knows how to get down to their level t'J understand them well. That they love and
    appreciate her is attested by the following tribute from a last years pupil.
    j What a teacher!
    My teacher is the best that I never had. Hi3 name is Mrs. Clifton. The firsth thing that she make 'us do in
    the class is arithmeti c, then English etc. She love the boys, Oh yes! But I ahvay-; mal<e she mad and that's why I
    am going to be the best boy in the class (I hope) She is happy when we are quiet and still but she is angry
    with me because I never can be quiet and s till. That's why I got 5 in conduct this month but I'll never folget
    that she is the most wonderful t eacher that I never had. Don't you t hing so- boys?
    \Vhen Mrs. Clifton's former pupils come to visit her, even though she does not .':llways
    remember their names, she invariably recalls th.-=m as "the little boy \vho had such a hard time
    learning to make as s," or "the little girl who always vv')re such pretty hair ribbons." Above is
    a photograph of 1\i[rs. Clifton and some of her for _ner pupils who are now members of the Faculty.

    A TRIBUTE TO AN OUTSTANDING TEACHER
    In recalling some of the teachers whom I have
    known and with whom I have worked during my teach-
    ing experience, one personality comes back to me very
    distinctly.
    In my opinion she was the perfect example of what.
    a teacher should be. She was eonscientious, patient.
    honest, openminded, . alert, up and coming, always ready
    to meet the child's needs, to be his guide, counselor and
    critic.
    vVith her fellO\V workers she too was patient help-
    ful and always ready to give her advice wheneve! it
    was; solicited. She was always stimulating to the g-rown-
    ups in school as well as to the pupils. In short, she stood
    out as an indefatigable worker. Her whole life was
    wrapped up in her profession.
    :Many of the old timers will no doubt by now have
    guessed to whom I refer. Yes none other than to the
    beloved Delia Bohan, who will never be effaced from th<2
    memory of cne of her fellow workers.

    LOOKING BACK
    (Th.is conttibutioJ: \Yri ;ten by a. s:alf member could not be entered
    i n the iit e rc :y conte:; t )
    The tall , shabby-looking man trudgi ng
    'ili' earily d'.nvn the road stopped and tiredly
    wiped the sunburned face under the old f elt
    hat. His shoes were torn and white with dust,
    his patched and faded trousers were spattered
    with mud. Under one strong brown
    cvrm he carried a small bundle of clothes, and
    in the other hand a long stout stick. Yet, f or
    all his shabbiness there was an air about hin1
    that suggested refined, gentlemanly manners.
    He looked at the old wicket gate swinging
    on its broken hinges, then at the wide ston .
    path now overgro1wn with weeds. His eyes roved
    over the garden where once neat flower beds
    had bloomed in all their splendour, and where
    the blossoms of the appletree had fallen like
    flakes of snow on the well-trimmed grass. It
    ViTas all gone now. Of the appletre2 only a
    charred stump remained.
    The house which had been hidden by t he
    glossy leaves a mass of dark green climbing
    ivy, now stood bare in all its ugliness. A f ew
    windows still had the remnants of a broken
    pane or of a hanging shutter, which banger1
    incessantly against the 'crumbling walls. But
    most of them were only black gaps, giving a
    glimpse of the sad mysteries within.
    The massive oak door alone had not changed
    There it was, tightly closed, and still re-
    tainino- some of the statelines of by-gone days.
    Perhaps it was because of it that no tramp' s
    feet had disturbed the thick layer of dust which
    carpeted the porch.
    The traveller shuddered and stared at the
    familiar road with its graceful dip into
    1

    valley beyond ...
    Once this had been his home. Childish
    maries rushed up within him, and he wanted
    to die. With a dry sob he leaned against t he
    1v-icket gate and cevered his face.
    The evening shadows lengthened and the
    v,rind h')wled mercilessly through the rooms of
    the empty house as he stood there, cursing
    himself for ever coming back. He had no wish
    to go on now. Perhaps he would remain t here,
    deep in the tb.oughts of those better days whose
    only relic was a crumbling house ...
    The words his father had once spoken tf1
    him forced themselves through the turmoi! hl.
    his mind: "Do not ever look back, lad. Alwaxs
    look forward."
    Again he stared at the dusty road. The
    hvinkling lights of the village in the
    beckoned warmly. Slowly, he walked town.rds
    them-without once ]')oking back.

    LIGHT!
    A cute little lamp like that above wa;s
    never meant for studying. It puts such
    an extra strain on working eyes that
    it's no wonder Bobby can't concentrate
    on studies.
    Give him Certified Study lamp with
    a.t least a 100-watt Edison 'G-E Mazda
    Osram or WestinghoutSe bulb. You'll
    save his eyes from strain and you'll
    make his easier. Chances are
    that hi s grades will pick up, too. And
    while you're p-rotecting bis eyes try
    better light yourself. You'll soon want
    it all over the house.

    "Going home on his furlough."

    The Mercury 8 began with questions.
    Why can't a big car be inexpensive
    to run? Why shouldn't a big car be
    lively and easy to handle ? Why use
    any other type of engine, when a V-8
    can be both smooth and economical?
    And so the Mercury was built to
    give new answers by introducing new
    ideas to the big-car field.
    Look at the Mercury's gasoline
    mileage. Owners report up to 20 miles
    per gallon! '
    Listen to owners praise the Mer-
    cury's brilliant performance and get-
    away-result of an unusually favor-
    . ..
    -
    able balance of car weight and "net
    driving power". Both men and wo-
    men applaud the Mercury's extraor-
    dinary ease of control. They say,
    ");'"ou don't drive . this car, you guide
    it!"
    Feel the "g1et-up-.and-go" of the
    Mercury's V-8 engine-a combinati.on
    of smoothness, liveliness and economy
    that stands alone in its field!
    So thoroughly right are these nevv
    ideas that the Mercury has become,
    in just two years, one of the most po-
    pular big cars in the country-a re-
    cord of success unparalleled in mod-
    ern automobile history!
    tHE 194.1 MERCURY 8 is a handsome big car, with streamlines as command-
    -ing as its way on the road. Doors and body iflare out ovei. board::;
    f?r extra width inside, so that six big people ride in Glass areas a:rc
    "picture-window" size. A new ride-stabilizer and a longer wheelbase contribute
    to the restfulness of the Mercury Rid;e:;. . -- .. . > - <: 8:

    DID HE GET A TIP?
    During the World War some American
    doughboys undertook to teach a French barber
    how to greet his American customers in
    lish. After drilling him for some time, they
    pronounced him perfect.
    About half an hour later the captain of the
    company came in for a haircut.
    The barber; standing by the chair with his
    towel in one hand, bowed very politely and rea
    peated the words he had just learned: "All
    right, you bone-headed cootie chaser, you're
    next."
    CALLING HIM
    Pr.:: ud Mama: I wish to find my son the
    Honorable Fitzmaurice Percival Clarence Ru-
    dolph Van de Houf.
    School Boy: I'll have him here in a minute.
    Hey, Smith, get Pie Face to hurry over here at
    once.
    IN DANGER
    "You admit, then," said the magistrate,
    "that you stole the pig."
    "Yes, your worship," replied the defendant.
    "\Vell, there has been a lot of pigstealing
    lately, and I am going to make an example of'
    you, or none of us will be safe."'
