THE PIONEER ALUMNUS Have you ever thought about the first alumnus? Or tried to think about him? Where did he come from? What school did he graduate from? What country did he belong to? To answer these questions we must go back to the first school, to the first civilized country. The oldest civilization we have record of existed in China. No doubt you have all heard of their schools, of how they read and study aloud, of their queer methods of teaching. The noisiness and clamor of it seems to stand out in our minds, but here we have no record of the first school. In fact, they seemed to have no gradua- tion, such as we have, although they now employ it. The richer families hired private tutors, and it was only the middle class who went to school. Greece established a strict and classical school. She employed hard, military training. Athletic prowess was uppermost. The valedictorian of their graduating classes was the one who could run the swiftest marathon. But in Greece we look in vain for the first alumnus. In Rome, also, he is not to be found, nor in any of the older civilizations. All over the world, no matter in what country, in what sphere or continent, there is one uni versal school—the school of experience and hardship. All men and women must enter, all must take the test. It was from this school that our pioneer alumnus graduated. This is the hardest school of all—the first school ever to exist. The first alumnus was a pioneer in education, in civilization, and in life. And he, so far, has been the valedictorian. The first alumnus is the forefather of every insti- tution in every part of the world. He has cleared the wilderness that we might find the road eas- ier. The first alumnus was the first man to exist, and he graduated from a school that we, too, must attend. RUTH BATSON. ipilitecc RUS be O rene GRADUATES: OF ‘35 It was on a cold day in February in the year 1931, that the Graduates of °35 boarded the great ship “Arts High School”. They passed through many adventures. The evenings on the ship were spent in studying and doing home work. One great moment of peril was when the boat nearly sank but with the help of the crew of teachers, headed by that great captain, Harrison E. Webb, and the Graduates of 35, they managed to pull through successfully and continue on their journey. When they refrained from their studies, they had their good times by going to see plays sponsored by the Dramatic Club, concerts given by symphony orchestras under the direction of Mr. Oliver, special speakers who gave interesting talks on various subjects and dances sponsored by various clubs. A terrific hurricane approached them when the report cards were handed out for the last grading. Following this, a great storm of commotion arose when social dancing was being taught to the pupils and the boys had a difficult time in overcoming their bashfulness. Storms are weathered and the Graduates of °35 approach the port of Graduation. They must soon leave the ship and go into a world they know not how to conquer. So now they say, “Farewell, Arts High os ANNE LESCYSZYN. [5
