WATKINS Harvard College Harvard Graduate School ol Education PRINCIPAL F0 IQEWUID ID It is characteristic oi year books, in our school as in other schools, that they pass by the work ot the classroom, the laboratory, and the shop and deal with the lighter side ot school life-the clubs, the athletics, and the good times that we have together. Perhaps second thought will assure us that this is not a fault: that the tendency is not only natural but desirable. It is in these activities and in the friendship that we gain from them that we get the happiest and most spon- taneous cooperation. School is a training ground for life, and in these activities we are learning the cooperation and the friendiness that are so essential in our homes, our communities, and our nations, that are so sadly needed in the world at large today. Arms Academy has always been knovmm as a friendly school. New pupils and new teachers notice it at once, and when we leave we carry with us the memory of these intangible yet all-essential qualities, sharing with others work and fun and what few troubles we have. If we will put this into practice after graduation, we shall be doing our part to make this world ot ours a happier place in which to live.
