C. Hodgson. Mayor of St. Paul. A Greater Saint Paul There could be no more hopeful sign than the adoption by the johnson High School of the motto: HA greater St. Paul. A better St. Paul will come only as there is developed a citizenship con- scious of its responsibility for the char- acter of the city. A city is not made by charters and legislative enactments and civic programs, but by men and women. A city is great only as the citizens are great. The power of a city is the power that resides in the hearts and homes of the people. A conquering citizenship must have two qualities: nrst, an intelli- gent understanding of the social processes of the community, and, secondly, a dedi- cated enthusiasm of spirit as the motive power of service. The johnson High School, by adopting its civic slogan, A Greater St. Paul, is preparing to equip the rising generation with the intelligent interest in government and society which must be the foundation for permanent improvement. The pursuit of this prac- tical ideal will inevitably lead to that spirit of enthusiasm and personal service which carries into constructive action the practical knowledge and understanding of civic problems. The young men and women of today will determine the qual- ity of tomorrow's citizenship, and the boys and girls of johnson School, by giving their earnest attention and zealous interest to the problems out of which St. Paul's future is to grow, are serving the common good of St. Paul in the best way. That these efforts may be crowned with the success which means a happy, useful citizenship, is my earnest hope.

, , 6' A X ' f L ' , Foreword HIS YEAR the graduating class of the johnson lligh School realizing the innumerable civic problems which have presented themselves to the city, have followed an idea unprecedented in the annals ot all high schools by dedicating this book to St. Paul. There is a recognized need ol' inculcating into our high school life a genuine civic spirit. It is with this idea in mind that we have striven to make our magazine retlect something broader than our own school life. We tender our sincerest appreciation to those who have been instrumental in carrying out this plan. Mayor llodgson, Commissioner Ferguson, and Secre- tary Weigle who have voiced their opinions through the pages of this annual, we desire to thank especially. We are indebted for assistance in procuring our illustrations to the Brown Photo Studio and to the firm ot Brown and Bigelow. Each division of this book represents some phase of activity in St. Paul, as well as some part of school liteg the Capitol not only represents the seniors, but also the governmental powers of our cityg the library is symbolic of the intel- lectual and artistic activities of St. Paul, while Brown and Bigelow's building represents our great Midway district which combines beauty with efhciency in business. This firm was chosen because it is one of the pioneers in St. Paul in building a business structure, which emphasizes a beautiful setting as well as a beautiful building. The picture ol' Lake Phalen represents the recreational phase of civic life, as well as one of the beauty spots near our school. If we can impress our readers for a moment with the idea of a greater St. Paul, we have been rewarded for our work. 5

PRIQP.-XIKIEDXESS lllROl.'Gll liDl'CA'lllON. l greet you and wish you Godspeed in your work, whether it is in a higher insti- tution of learning, in the busy marts of trade, or in the quieter paths of profes- sional endeavor. Those who have con- tinued to the end of the high school course are to be congratulated. So many make the regretable mistake ol' leaving school too soon. We are living in an age of keen competition, when much in the way of preparation is being demanded, and. unless there is a strict adherence to the acquirement of education that this corn- petition may be successfully met, the unprepared must go down in ignominious I defeat. llundreds of promising careers have been wrecked on the reefs and shoals of unpreparedness, due often- times to the heedlessness and selllwilled- ness of the individuals. 'lihe bulwark of American civilization and government is education. 'lihe opportunities of forty and lifty years ago no longer exist. We often hear men talk ol' their rise in life and the things they accomplished with practically little or no education. These men forget that the years have passed, and we are living in a far ditlerent age. No young man or young woman can al'- ford to go forth into the world poorly prepared through laclt of education to meet the competition of this age, espe- cially when the acquiring of knowledge has been made possible and brought within the reach of practically all. Education and educational advantages are so diversified that practically every avenue ol endeavor is opened. Our greatest danger lies in the fact that the present generation is more pleasure seelt- ing and pleasure loving than any previous generation. We must call a halt on our pleasures, for sooner than we realize, life with its perplexing and complex problems will confront us, and we will lind it hard to adjust ourselves to changed conditions -changed in that the pleasures of youth will cease and the hard, inflexible responsibilities of manhood and woman- hood will demand our every attention, and tax our etliciency. You dream of success today. Successes of tomorrow will be realized only in the degree you sustain a right relation to others. Llnpreparedness will tind you unequipped. and the victory rightly yours will go to your competitor because you failed to take advantage of your earlier opportunities.
