The Wind How strange it seems as on we go To feel, to see, to hear, and know Something, somewhere, forever fights In air, in sky, through days, through nights. What can that great wind be we say? What makes it blow, and how? But, when we feel its beauty spray, We know 'tis by His bow. Sometimes it stops from morn till night. How lonesome then we feel. But, when it blows, and howles, and fights, With fear our eyes are sealed. What would we do if wind should cease? We would not live for long. The many things we had in peace, Then would be quickly gone. And now, while looking far and near, How thankful all life seems. And everything that it holds dear, Wind brings as if in dreams. The -Helen Wiley, '28 A King City Rain trees had been tossing slightly, As winds blew gently o'er. The But The The The sun had been shining brightly, clouds came more and more. sun went out behind a cloud, sky grew dark and glumg winds blew strong and whistled loud, As rain began to come. The storm was over after while, And clouds all cleared away. The sun came out and showed its smile, But wind, it stayed all day. -ROBERT PARSONS, '28 I A

I ' .fp fs Is there no snappy way of grasping an education? There seems no way of X alleviating the dullness of study by making text books or lectures thrilling. And since educations do not come wrapped up in parcels there seems to be no other way of getting an education -than by working hard for it. To obtain an easy education is just as difficult a problem as inventing fi perpetual motion machine. If you really think there is a royal road to an education, forget it and spend ycur time usefully. Something to Think About By MARION MANSFIELD, '29 The process of getting an education is like developing your muscles. ln its very nature it is a long process, requiring concentration and sacrifice. You can develop your arm muscles if you raise a dumb-bell in each hand, many, many times a day. If you want to get fun out of it, you can paint your dumb-bells red, green, or yellow and turn on the phonograph. But you must lift the dumb-bells. The foundation of a sound education comprises a knowledge of math- ematics, history, literature, and philosophy. There is no snappy way of grouping these subjects. There is no way of alleviating the dullness of study by making text books or lectures thrilling. The thrill is invariably introduced by sacrificing the substances. So remember that to learn is to do hard, dull work, in which you will be the gainer. School spirit is a splendid ideal or aim for which to work. Its attainment is pleasurable and profitable. We succeed much better and faster if we work for the good of something and strive to improve in every way possible. School Spirit By BERNICE POWELL, '28 One of the most important things in making a reputable name for our Hi is good school spirit. Any institution showing this spirit within itself and in its relations with other schools is ranked highly. Size or cost does not make a good school. Fine spirit's the thing. A great deal of school spirit is lacking in most high school students. There are the few who do all the work while the rest sit back and look on. G In athletics, cooperation is very necessary. The players must cooperate with one another, and the students must do so with the players. The athletic field gives an excellent opportunity in which we may show mur metal. It is much easier to be a good winner than it is to be a good loser. It is very tempting, when a school has lost a game, to accuse the 'winners of dishonesty. This will condemn a school very quickly. Let's all avoid anything like that. Often, remarks are made by the rooters that are detrimental to their school, so, students, be very careful to avoid casting reflections on your Alma Mater.
