Does it mean to stay away from all school athletic events, student body meetings, and last of all school itself? it mean to be indifferent in mind as to the interests of the school, neither supporting nor opposing them? Does it mean to stay away from student meetings and then sit back and knock all school enterprises? NO, decidedly no.

know, wasn't there. Will circumstances embracing such facts as these make typical high school life? Such has, in part, been the condition of affairs during this school year. Reference is here made to attendance of student body meetings especially. With very few exceptions there has not been a quorum to conduct business. That means that there were not fifty out of two hundred and twenty students present. Why is it so? Is it the fault of the president or other officers? The faculty? No! They do their best. But the question comes right down to every student. He is the one to decide whether there shall be a quorum or not. It is far from justice to the school not to attend student meetingsg you are shirking individual responsibility. This year has been the most notable of late years in regard to lack of spirit. Students seemed utterly void of any interest which would in any way affect them or the school. It seems rather queer that out of two hundred and twenty students eight could not be found who might represent old E. H. S. in tennis. Q QQ. SE? f To remedy this, let us suggest that the class president take a hand. Much TL could be accomplished through him if he would. Through his influence the an members of each class could be aroused and might become more interested. You, Freshman, Sophomore, junior, every one of you belong to the High School and are a factor of it. Will you make the High School what it ought to be by your patriotism? X1 ,NIE K n X HAVE WE BEEN FINANCIALLY WISE '? IT H this issue of the SEQUOIA, another year is added to the annals of Eureka High school. In some respects it has been a year of extraordi- nary activity along new lines, growing out of our entrance into the Leagueg but along the lines in which we KNOW we are competent-'in fact, which we have tried in former years, there has been a painful lack of interest and enthusiasm. This year should have witnessed the production of a fine play, not only would it ' have added to our depreciated treasury, but an enterprise like that tends to X heighten the interest in the Alma Mater, arouses the zeal of the lower classmen, and brings the students together on a common footing. This year should have , witnessed the building of a tennis court, the lack of which necessitated our failure b to enter that event. At the beginning of the year there was money enough in 1 the treasury for a fair start, and if another successful play had been produced, .fi and the money on hand had not been dribbled away foolishly, our tennis court would not have become a pipe dream. Student! you! yes you Freshmen, too, to ,I A ,,Aq g h whom we entrust the welfare of our school, push next year with vim. Give a 'K' .. ,EU RT play! Build a tennis court!
