.- 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

. I x.,--' lgrinripal william IU. lgnurh mr Near the end of each school year we hear the expression from many Seniors, XYould that l had my four years to live over again in Clinton High! How much better it would be done. Changed courses, more stress on some subjects, less loitering, and more enthusiasm in the inspirational side of our school life would result. lf such an opportunity pre- sented itself, would we better ourselves? Experience is a potent factor in our lives, yet we cannot sit idly by and wait l for it. VVe work with the ma- terial in our own lives attempt- ing at all times to accomplish the best. VVe should realize that the best will bring greater happiness and contentment for future years. Each decade brings with it new hopes, new desires and a turning away from the older things. This is a healthy condition. No civi- lization could long endure if progress were hindered. If this is true in the commercial and scientific world, it is doubly true in the lives of students. New conditions must be met when you leave the halls of your Alma Mater. lf you fail to meet them, then your usefulness in the world is curtailed to a great extent. The public demands more of you because you have greater facili- ties with which to accomplish the end in mind. lt is the duty of graduates to uphold the highest standards of scholarship and to ever be loyal to those things which make life worth the living.
