Wim Minnw .Zmqee M544 Mmm Qfzcmc Counselor Counselor THEN V Dear Seniors: I hope you will remember several things about your new vice-principal that show his appreciation for the opportunity of working at Southeast. I believe I speak for all new students and faculty members when I say Thank you for the kindness shown us which made us feel at home so soon. You all seem to deserve the titles Knights and Ladies no matter whether it be students, patrons or faculty associates. I am anxious to believe that in Southeast the citizens are demonstrating a plan of life that the whole world might profit- ably follow. In school we practice a close pattern of coopera- tion, regardless of our differing political opinions and creeds. lt is my eamest prayer that all races, colors and creeds of man, may in like manner, join their efforts to stop the wastage of War and unite in a great common enterprise like our public schools. Then, certainly, disease, ignorance and low standards of living can be removed from the face of the earth and the truth that makes men free in body, mind and spirit shall prevail. Sincerely, Wa. Qecwqe Dowel! 'sf' Hymn Mwsqftfzg lg? I

In a world fighting for freedom and democracy, public education in the United States believes in training American students to participate in their own government. The Southeast Student Round Table is a part of the national system of student government associations. Our Student Round Table is composed of representatives and alternates elected from the various home rooms. As part of their citizenship training, students are encouraged to consider the qualifi- cations of their candidates on the bases of ability, integrity, and willingness to serve. Successful can- didates assume the responsibilities of office as Well as the honor of representing their constituents. All Southeast students are invited to attend their Round Table meetings. Most of the business of the Round Table originates in the home rooms. Any suggestion made in a home room and supported by a majority vote of the students of that home room may be presented for consideration to the Student Round Table. Measures that are approved by a majority vote of the Round Table are taken to the principal for approval or veto. Our Southeast Round Table participates in the All-City Student Council. For the past semester, we have cooperated in the Buy A Bomber Campaign through our purchase of defense stamps. The Round Table acts as a clearing house for student suggestions, promotes all-school projects, sponsors school mixers, presents two student talent assemblies a year, and participates in worth- while community projects. Members of the Round Table serve with faculty members on the Victory Corps Committee and on the school Assembly Committee. The Student Round Table is as vital or as weak as the students of Southeast High School make it. A year ago, the students of our school rejected several clever, well-worded slogans. Their philosophy was plain, direct and forceful: Education is the cornerstone of democracy. It is equally true that active participation is the cornerstone of self-government. The Round Table, like democracy, will never fail. We may, however, fail it. Our student government pleads for intelligent interest and time for a consideration of student problems. The privilege of student government carries with it the responsibility of intelligent par- ticipation. The hope of our country lies in American youth, trained to the ideals and practices of democratic procedure.
