'We send you forth, Grad- uates of Alice Deal, with pride in your accomplish- ments and high hopes for your future. Sincere. good wishes for a happy and successful high school life. -Margaret R. dlcrritt. Valedictory Address Instead of following the usual pattern presented in a valedictory address, one might. instead, briefly state the extent to swhich the March of Time has changed schools since the days of the three I-Ps. One of the best ways to picture this evolution in education is to compare the old days with the present. ln great-grandfatheris day of Birch Rods and Pig- tailsf' no activities other than a simple course of study were prescribed for the pupil's benetit, and equipment was as scarce as the money furnished for it. This is well illustrated by a. description Lincoln gave of his own school days. He once said: All our reading was done from Scripture. Wie stood up in a long line and read in turn from the Bible. Eggleston, in The Hoosier Schoolboyj' paints an excellent picture of the days of frontier schools. showing the brutality of cer- tain of the aged schoolmasters. and the hardships suf- fered by both students and teachers. It must be reniembered, however, that formal edu- cation did not play so great a. part in lllilll,S life as it does today. Now, splendid educational opportuni- ties lie within the reach of the average youth, together with many extra-curricular activities never dreamed of in this earlier period. A comparison of the old with the new shows a remarkable change. Contrast the bare, little, one- room, school building with the beautiful, well-equipped, brilliantly lighted buildings of the present, and one sees what a miracle has taken place. To the three or four meager subjects of the olden days, history, science, arts and crafts and the study of modern languages have been added. Moreover, there are provided activities in the form of orchestras, glee clubs, and dramatic clubs, thus giving the student a chance to discover talents which might otherwise remain undeveloped. Modern education provides training for the body as well as the mind by offering a. varied program of ath- letic activities in' the form of inter-class, and inter- school games. Our whole school program aims to develop the capacity for self-direction and self-government. An excellent instance of self-government here at Alice Deal may be found in our trafiic force. This organization consists of a group of boys elected by the pupils to regulate conduct in the halls, lunchroom, and school Al
