, , 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

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.
