Whether they go into business, into the pro- fessions, or into the home, that spirit endures and is perpetuated for all time, a fundamental law of true democracy. You who are stu- dents now have that spirit. You manifest it continually, whether in the classroom, on the campus, or on the athletic field. Unconsciously you learned it from those who preceded you and in the same way you will teach it to those who follow. Here's to the C. H. S. spirit. CURTIS M'MURRAN, '19. The night of May 26, 1920 was the hour of departure from the Carthage High School for some eighty young men and women. This hour probably was an hou: of happiness for some, yet it must have been an hour of much regret for others. In short, it was the breaking up of the class of 1920, Some members of this class now have homes of their own, others have found life employment, while others have gone away to school. Yet no matter what the members of this class may be doing they have not forgotten the days spent in the dear old school for, there, ties of everlasting friendship were formed. The 1922 Carthaginian is to be dedicated to the Alumni of this institution. We should feel more than grateful, for a publication such as the Carthaginian is, a publication held in esteem by all. Every Aluminus would be more than willing to show his appreciation of this act and to help make this issue of the High School Annual the best ever published in the history of the school. The students of the High School should cultivate the acquaint- ance ,of the Alumni, and the Alumni in turn should do all that is possible to make the Carthage High School a bigger and a better institution of education. MELVIN MILLER, '20 I understand that the 1922 Carthaginian is to be an Alumni number. To know that the Carthage High School remembers her alumni as her alumni remember her is a pleasant thought. A stu- dent may think when he goes to college that he will forget all his high school days and devote himself entirely to college life. To do this, is practically impossible, as the longer one is out of High School, the more one remembers High School days and incidents. Wherever one may go, he hears something about Carthage and C. H. S. I was surprised at the number of students here at Drury who had a good word for C. H. S. That more may gain a knowledge of the School I wish the 1922 Carthaginian and its editors all the success possible. ROBERT E. HEDGE '21, Drury College, PAGE I67

It seems to me that when one looks back to his old school, which is composed of those younger than himself, the tendency is to sing that old song about how things used to be in the good old days when he was in school. We often imagine we see a lack of spirit, pcp, and activityg we are prone to bemoan the fact that the old school is not what is used to be, and that the present student body is not upholding the traditions and standards which were established in former days. But I certainly do not look at old C. H. S. in that way at all. The glowing reports that my Carthage friends here in the uni- versity bring to me about activities down there show that the old school is getting bigger and better every year. You are not only upholding the traditions and standards of the past, but you are reaching out into new lines of endeavor and are making such a name for old Carthage, that we who are graduates of C. H. S. are right- fully very proud of the fact. I am always glad to let people know that I am from C. H. S., and I am not a bit disappointed in the way you are handling things down there. The annual this year is certainly a fine piece of work, and should be of unusual 'interest to alumni. It gets better every year. Let me urge all of you to never let up in your school activities until you are thru a good university or college. The students in this university are always striving to uphold the traditions of the past, and to maintain or even surpass the high social and scholastic standards which have been, and are a credit to Old Mizzou. You Carthaginians have a place waiting for you here. Your next job is to work in, and work for Old Mizzou as you have worked for C. H. S. fmore, if possiblej and so make our university as outstanding among universities of this country, as our High School is outstanding among the High Schools of this state. The message I want to leave with you is to carry the good work you have started in High School, on thru Old Mizzou. This school wants real, active, peppy, fighting Tigers to handle its pro- gram for the future. It is going to be a big program, too. So come on up here and do your part as soon as you finish your job there. High School days are wonderful, but college days have them beaten! Ask a graduate of Old Mizzou and he will tell you so. Best wishes to the Carthaginians, Tigers of tomorrow! VICTOR R. BOSWELL, '18, Columbia, Mo. . Students of C. H. S.: Another year of work is doneg another class has graduated and are now alumnig a new class has prepared to take their places and all have advanced a step in pursuit of knowledge. Thus, year after year, a continuous stream of students passes from a world of fancy and dreams into a world of reality and responsibility. The High School, a common gate through which they pass, serves to bind them closer together in a spirit of companionship, Drawing from the community its wealth of youth, the High School moulds them into flower of young manhood and young womanhood and Sends them
