SENIORS’ ADVICE TO THE UNDERCLASSMEN We, the members of the Senior Class, realize that we have not accomplished for ourselves and the school many of the things which could have been accomplished by an alert, ambitious student body. Therefore, we should like to pass along to the underclassmen a bit of advice from our vast (?) store of experience. It is a well established fact that the greater amount of learning one acquires during his secondary education, the more poise one displays during his contacts with situations in later life. During this period there is too little attention given to studies such as science and higher mathematics, which are excellent general training as well as being imperative in many vocations. We ask, not only that you incorporate into your schedules these classes, which are usually evaded, by even many of the better students, as too difficult, but that you pay less attention to merely passing, and more to really learning the subject. There seems to be a definite lack of school spirit here; this should never be truth¬ fully said of any student body. We admit that school spirit is evident in such inter- scholastic activities as athletic contests, but too many students seem to consider this the only measure of sportsmanship. Not so, Horatio! The highest type of school spirit is fulfilling to the best of one ' s ability the requests the school makes of you. as an indi¬ vidual, as a class or as a student body. Such loyalty to school policies is one of the greatest character builders in our entire school system. We could hardly offer advice to you without fully considering the aspect of your future citizenship. Consider the difference in the appearance in the streets of our own town when school is in session and when it is not. After school hours the streets are really unsightly from the vast amount of paper cast heedlessly aside by students of D. M. H. S. The Senior Class fully accepts its responsibility for part of these antics, but not with pride. We sincerely hope that future Senior Classes can improve upon this record. Such things, of seemingly minor importance, when multiplied by countless other instances, form the real basis of citizenship. There are two types of citizens. One, the flag-raising type, who on public occasions is always in the forefront of activities, exhorting his comrades to greater patriotism, but when a sewer needs to be built, when a special tax is needed for some worthy cause, his attitude is always. “Let George do it.’’ George does it. He ' s the other type. Cultivate more actual knowledge, more sportsmanship, better citizenship and every¬ thing else will be added to your life. We can think of nothing more we feel should be added.
