EOPLE who think at all are more and more thinking of schools not as places where one prepares for living. but as places where one actually lives. Careful study seems to show that by the time we are high school Juniors the mental powers of most have reached their full development. That does not mean that there are not many things for us to learn, but that our ability to learn them is as great then as it is likely to be there- after. Assuming that this is true, it is fair to expect of high school students a sense of responsibility for all puh- lie institutions and particularly for SCHOOL the one with which they are so in- timately connected. It is not a mere phrase to say that the welfare of this school depends on the extent to which the student body individually and collectively is ready to recognize its responsibility and rise to it. Together teachers and students alike may learn the flrst lesson of successful democratic government. That lesson is to recognize and re- spect individual differences of opin- ion. and more important still, to subordinate them all to the common good. If we can do this we are not only learning to be good citizens; we really are good citizens. H. G. CLEMENT. TO THE CLASS OF ,24 THE time which seemed so far ahead a short time ago has ar- rived, and you are graduating from high school. it is one of the mile- stones of life to which you have looked forward. Let me congratu- late you upon having successfully reached it. For the majority, gradu- ation from high school means the end of training in the public schools. Unconsciously you have been trained in the ideals which have made this country great. Some of these ideals are love of liberty and country, equal opportunity for everyone, honesty, integrity. and above all, belief in and obedience to a Supreme Being. These and the training you have re- ceived from the schools have been given you, not that you may use them for selfish ends. but rather for service to others. I can wish for each one of you nothing better than a successful life measured in terms of service. A. HAVEN SMITTL
