Manual High School - Mirror Yearbook (Peoria, IL)

LIFE presents to all of us many patterns of vastly different kinds. Some are for every day use, while others are for special occasions only, some are mere matters of etiquette, while others are essential to useful honorable living and the creation of strong enduring character, some are like great lighthouses that guide us on our way through life, but which we never reachg while others are like the little shore lights that we pass and go beyond to still others that beckon to us. Manual holds up many patterns to her sons and daughters. Many you reach, that, in striving for others, are soon forgotten. There is one great lighthouse, that sheds its mighty beacon as a guide, but which none ever fully attain. This pattern has four sure solid stones in its foundation-sound scholarship, real, unselfish service, leadership in all things that are for the bestg and a character, that, embodying all the other three, stands for the advancement and betterment of all with whom we come in contact. This pattern will help to make of your life, not only a lasting joy to yourself, but a force which will leave the little world that you touch better for your having lived in it. -W. o.

See, milk He, that thou make all things arcowling io ilae pattern given lbee in llae AfI0um'. PATTERN may be defined as anything proposed for imitation, an exemplarf' It is in this latter sense that the word is here used. Manual is the Mount. Here the ideals, the purpose, the objectives of education are set up. Certain factual knowledge is necessary for progressive advancement. Studies nourish Youth and delight Old Age. They travel with you-yet, not much will depend tomorrow on your ability to give the plu-perfect subjunctive of a Latin verb. Rather will your progress be deter- mined by your kindness, courtesy, appreciation, reverence, and those kindred character traits without which technical knowledge would be negative. Facts soon go from you and often are not worth remembering. But insights, appreciations, understandings, values, extracted from many studies, as attar of roses from many Howers-these abide and travel with you through the years, culminating in that liner Christian citizenship, an exemplar', of the Manual Spirit. Look that thou make them according to the pattern showed thee in the Mountf, -E. C. FISHER. O 0 MR. E. C. FISHER Szzperintendefzl of Srhaolf l 3 twelve
