U C 3 H ' ' -.W-viiiw-'v-'D' A! A Svrninfa Uvztimnnial The stranger, hearing of the superiority of our school, is doubtless perplexed as to the cause. The class of 1926, having spent four years in careful consideration of the problem, feels prepared to make public its discoveries. Although there are many contributory causes- including the class of 1926, itself-the seniors feel that the one force most to be praised for this greatness, is the faculty. Approaching the imposing building for the first' time, the new student might be misled as to what makes the Clinton High School great. He might be impressed with the magnitude of the building and equipment, and take as a matter of course those quiet, well be- haved people who sit in the class rooms and listen with well feigned interest to the day's tasks. Later, however, he finds that enrolling new students, policing the halls, and asking embarrassing questions are not the most important functions of these quiet, rather stern looking people. They must be known to be appreciated, and acquaintance deepens into real interest and friendship. Each teacher is discovered to be a specialist in his held. He has given years to thorough preparation, and is genuinely interested and enthusiastic in his work. His chief motive is his desire to do good and to help his fellow men. He is a great progressive force, he pulls you, he pushes you forward, he nurses your interest and stimulates your enthusiasm. Therefore, he must care for your success. Yes, he desires it and works for it. He is very proud and happy if you gain it. This, we believe, is the spirit of our faculty. Our faculty members have personality, they have humanity, they have sympathy-and if they have faults, why, so have we- let us forget them. We love these people, and as a reward for their painstaking efforts with us, we vote them a passing grade, magna cum laude, and a testimonial, to-wit: The faculty are very capable and amiable. They evince a fine spirit and attitude toward their work and the school. They wear well, and improve with acquaintance. We heartily commend them to the kind consideration and friendship of the classes yet to come. , Our time in school is as the day: Our class is like the sun: Our Freshman year like morning gay, When work has just begun. Then closing with the Senior year- As day with setting sun- VVe now feel proud of our career, And work that we have done. And in this school, we hope to leave A trace of nierit's track, A ' l' ' ' h t s in our ives ue wis o weave Some threads of Red and Black.

.- fe I Q. , . 3 k A in ly ty M, I i Svnpt. Gllurk M. Ernmn ' Next year's program, you ask? Vvhat will be the changes, 'J and in what direction. Forward, always forward. 5 Our schools must give just a little better training next year than ever before. A little more will be demanded each year of the young man and young woman, whether they enter busi- ness or enter college. XYhether they use their hands or their . heads. We shall move toward an or- ganization that attempts to give every student credit for the job he accomplishesAnot for the time he puts in. This will not mean a change in course of study but some change in organization that will give students credit more directly in accord with the effort put in. The following is Superintendent Brown's message to the Class of 1926: lt is a line thing to complete, creditably, a High School course. lt isa splendid thing to be able to look back, at this time, and know that your school is a better school today because it numbered you among its students for a few years. One hundred-fifty young people passing thru a school, identi- fying themselves with its activities for four years, leave a deep im- press upon the character and tradition of the institution. You have been no exception. You have made your contribution as a student. But the opportunity to work for Clinton High will remain as the years roll around. Let us all continue to work to build a greater Clinton High, whose representatives shall be feared and respected, a place where hard work and real worth will be a badge of honor, a High School where there is none better from ocean to ocean. Yery sincerely, CLARK W. BROWN L ...M - W, ,I i W. ,W . ,J 11
