LEADER E. E. HANSELMAN HCUW OFTEN one hears the expression, I could have done that if I had had the chance. Whitt the individual means is that had he had the opporf tunity for growth and development and had he taken advantage of it, he would he doing a lietter joh of living than he is now doing. Whcri a group of freshmen met a small group of teachers in Septemher 1920, Garfield hesfan its work. Opportunities existed and those freshmen wanted to do things. By taking pride in their work and with a determinf ation to succeed, they overcame many ohstacles, and in so doing profited each in his or her own way. Growth and development resulted. As the school grew in size, more prohlems arose and had to he solved. No matter how complex the task appeared, each succeeding class has assumed its share in the work to he done and therehy each individual has profited in his or her own way, This is growth and development. Guidance, suhject matter, and experience gained through participation in activities, each makes its contrihution in the growth of the individual. Youth, parents and teachers make this possihle at Garfield. E. E. HANsELMaNnsPvim-ipal.

SUPRE HOWARD M. BRIER WHAT MAKES a good school? A fine building and modern equipment and books all help to make a good school. But these things, alone, are not enough. A school must have good teachers, and a student body eager to learn, before it can accomplish the objectives for which a school is organ- ized. Equal opportunity, high scholastic goals, tolerance, fair play, athletic achievement are but a few of the factors that help determine the greatness of a school. On the football field Garfield players have always accounted for themselves with honor to the school. In the Universities Garfield scholars have excelled. In the service Garfield pupils have made an enviable record. Over the years Garfield High School has established a reputation for being a good school. This has resulted in a fine spirit of loyalty. Garfield graduates take pride in the fact that they graduated from Garfield, and the school is proud of its graduates. As long as this feeling exists, as long as this school continues under a policy of fairness and equal opportunity, there will be thousands who will stand to honor Garfield. Howfxan M. BRIER--VicefPrmcipal.
