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.

This above program was followed by cards and dancing, the music being furnished by The Californians. During the year there was always a quick responsive heed to four bells-the toll that meant five minutes to an hour of repose from the daily routine of class work. Perhaps the most interesting assembly of the year was the Open Air assembly held out on the football turf. The orchestra played and two speak- ers were chosen from each class to give a talk on different topics such as School Spirit, How I Can Support My Team, and so on. The Yell Leader performed and the student body responded. This was probably the most suc- cessful assembly of the year. We have had many excellent speakers during' the year. Some of these were: Dr. Sawyer, who spoke about his travels around the world, giving us an idea of his delightful experiences anl some of the customs of the old world, Mr. Greene, who spoke on the topic What we shall do after we leave High School. In all, our assemblies have been very instructive, amusing and interest- ing. President Harrison wishes to thank all those who have helped with the assemblies during the past year.
