8 l MEMOIRS EDITORIAL. LOYALTY The loyal pupil is as necessary to the school as the heart is to the body. In fact, the greatest obstacle to the success of a school is indifference on the part of the students. Just as our country needs serious-minded, upright men to live for her day by day, so our High School needs devoted pupils who will give to their school time, strength, and fidelity every day. We are not all endowed with equal talents and we can- not all pay our debt in the same way.

Are you taking an active part in the vari- ous activities of the school or helping to support them? If You are, you may be proud of the fact: if not, your position is obvious. Silence may mean more than words. Principal Fred H. Hadlock has exprezsed his apprecia-
