Leavenworth High School Students
 Seek Preservation Of Water Wheel
Editorial in Tech.O. Scope DeplOres Neglect of Sym.
 bOl of City's Greatness

An editorial in the latest edition Of the Tech. .O-Scope, student puhh. cation of Leavenworth High school, calls attention to the neglected water wheel which in days gone by was an indispensable source of power to the first brass mill in the country, lo- cated right here in Waterbury.
 Speaking on behalf of the city's industrial high school, the author of the brief editorial makes an appeal to Waterhurians for the preservation of the old water wheel, now neglect cd and almost forgotten, although an historic landmark in the indus trial development of the Naugauck Valley.
 Now that Waterbury's industrial progress has made the city known throughout the country as "The Brass Center of the world" more attention should be paid to the rude beginnings from which the great plants which abound in the city to- day grew, in the opinion of the Tech- Scope, The old brass wheel located in Hamilton park Is the symbol of these beginnings.
 The full editorial Is aS follows:
 "Deteriorate and crumbling, the water wheel that furnished power for the first brass mill in America, lies unthought Of, as the too-busy world of ours goes racing on.
 This monument to the skill anti Yankee ingenuity of the first brass manufacturers has been left to rot --rot with the age that has seen brass become an indispensable product of modern life.
 Why must this humble begin- ming dissolve into dust? We Stu- dents of Leavenworth want 1t rec stored. We are the youth of indus try and that wheel, that decrepit, tottering frame of wood and Iron from which our great brass inc dustry sprang; must live. Despise not the ugly roots because the tree has grown so vast and beautiful.
 Waterbury has grown on brass. BrasS made those buildings, those streets: brass built these schools. these houses and the sire of this progress goes unnoticed. Leav- enworth, the school of industry appeals to the citizenry of Water bury to save and preserve what is left of the wheel. Let us pause In the whirl of progress and pay trib. ute to that iron: which is sprang."
 Thomas McHale is editor-in- chief of the monthly student publi- cation, with Robert Blake, John Mo- Kenna, John Sturtevant and DoEi- mic Marine as associate.
