JlntniiUtrtimt ji T is a privilege which I greatly appreciate to be asked to write the introduction to the first JJ School Annual of the New ( astle High School. ---» I wish to congratulate the Hoard of Kditors on the dignity and good taste displayed in its pro- |(CZZI3 duction and feel that its interesting contents will make it a valuable keepsake for all concerned. We trust this l»ook has a three fold mission. First, to give a permanent class monument. Second, to review the life of the school in its many sided activities. Third, to interest our friends and patrons in our high school. 'Poo often the good side does not appear and the points open to criticism are the only evidence by which our school life is judged. To be so judged is to be mis-judged. The people have no other college than the high school. In no other way save the high school can those of moderate means give their children a needed education to enable them to stand on an equal footing with their fellows. The high school must stand for equal educational advantages to all. TIIKRK MUST KK NO KDUCATIONAL ARISTOCRACY IN A RKAL DKMOCRACY. Local needs of the majority of the students must be the first consideration of such a school. It must stand as a privileged public thoroughfare along which rich and poor, high and low, those of college ambition, those of necessity industrially inclined, may pass to the g »al of self-respect, power, contentment and success. I believe this Hoard of Kditors are laying a broad foundation for future classes to build upon. May this, our first Annual, exert a wide spread influence for up-right, healthy, vigorous manhood and womanhood and a rouse a greater public interest in our progress and efficiency. Let U8 hope it may also receive a most cordial welcome and stimulate and foster a wealth of good will towards this class and school. Faithfully, your principal. Principal s Office.
