16 SPECTATOR Principals Page We are all proud of our high school. We are proud of its faculty, the large body of ambitious students, and our splendid school spirit. We are proud 'of our football squad, our band, our enlarged orchestra, our student council and all its other organization as well as our pleasant social life. May all these agencies develop us morally, physically and mentally to a high standard. Let the influence of Johnstown High School always spur us on to better things. Toward this end the Spectator is published. Its purpose is to invite and guide everyone into the inner life of the school. To the new students who are to be with us this term we ex- tend a cordial welcome. We hope that to you the Spectator will be helpful and that it may inspire you to stand and fight for the lofty ideals of our high school. We are proud of what we have clone, but we must not stop here. Our high school is what we make -it. Our imme- diate task is to make it better. If the Spectator promotes that task, it accomplishes its purpose. If the Spectator is not what you think it should be you should do your part to make it better. Write a short article for its pages stating definitely and to the point, how it can be made a better school paper. Its staff invites constructive criti- cisrng but clon't Hknockf' Our high school is proud of its boosters but ashamed of its uknockersu. By means of these articfles the editors will at least get the student viewpoint and possibly this will help them to make its pages more interesting to its thousand, or more, readers. Nothing can stand in the way of a student body that determines to make its publication the first high school paper in the state. Proud of the achievements of the Spectator in the past, may we be justified in our anticipation of even a, better paper for the future. .

18 SPECTATOR c A X3 ' ' The Third Dream Classes may come and classes may go but our old stage set stays on forever. This is the period of the year when flying squadrons are combing the nation in the interest of their Alma lVlaters and when returning classes are dreaming new dreams or are enjoy- ing the harvest of old ones. At this time such as the latter is our case in that our High School Band is a reality and the dream of Student Government, though it has come out of a hazy past, still it is our beautiful dream for a' that. Now for the third dream--a new stage set and an audi- torium redressed to harmonious agreement. Somewhere there is a saying that the age of mari is measured by the relics of man, and verily we may say that this is a truth. What exam- ple stands so prominently before us as the present stage set and the auditorium which accentuates the effect of decay and decrepit age. Let us recall the present picture. First the worn stage front where generations of bache- lors' rows have scraped their mark. Then the once fine front curtain punctured with holes and sadly in need of a thorough Hdry cleaning. Back of this those everfaithful lean- ing pillars, which, like shabby loafers on a street corner, dis- grace the wings. Forming the very background is that pas- toral set with its still stream and bench upon which no actor ever sat. Nor do not let us in recalling this picture forget the old green set with its ever elusive doors and.windows which have changed places with one another so often that it has ceased to become a game of locating the strayed members. As for the shade of green fit is always greenj if it isn't one shade, have patience, the Art Department will come around to it. Pity the Art Department--the usurgeonn who must
