I-IIGI-I SCHOOL PRINCIPAL TODAY The editing is done, and the Roundup Staff Closes a draft of school events, As another year is about to end, sending forth Some four hundred seniors elsewhere to pitch their tents. I see Roundup pages of the past Hidden behind conspicuous covers on the shelf, And a feeling of sadness steals o'er me That my soul cannot resist or 'scape s Come, thumb through one of these books And sense the color of that day, It may soothe that restless feeling And banish the thought of the coming Senior Play. School life! I am living you today Crowded halls, exciting games, books and letters, We have been long together Through pleasant and through cloudy weather. TOMORROW CEditor's Meditationl Tomorrow this pleasant book will silently Among my household treasures take a familiar place. Tomorrow it will be to me a living tongue-W As it speaks from printed page or pictured face. Therefore to me, you will never grow old, But live forever fresh in my remembrance. You are my Roundup! I am reliving School Life! J-XRMIN G. IAI-IR l19l

SUPERINTENDENT GF SCHOOLS School life used to be considered rather remote from the actual daily life af the adult community. Real life commenced, after Commencement. Previous to that, a young person was conceived to be preparing for a life of which he was not yet a part. i-ddii1bi it n a ition to eing isolated from real life, school life was also fragmentary from being conceived. in terms of ccmpartmentalized subject matter which did not indicate the interrelations and correlations really existing. Rarely was it possible to bring together these isolated fragments into a unified and related series of experiences which were directly related to participation in the life of the times. Constructive participation by the younger generation in the life of the older generation is greatly to be desired. Too often among men and nations leadership has been seized by persons who have never outgrown the attitudes, emotions, and Ways of thinking which they had as children. All honor to our high school young people who have this spring so successfully shown the sguabbling adult world that good feeling and friendly rivalry can be created and practised by maturing young people. There should be much more of such constructive trail-blazing by a clear-seeing younger generation today. When it is more generally recognized that school life is really a continuous, interacting series of constructive experiences promoting growth and constituting life, we shall have rnade notable progress. lsn't life complicated?
