TIIE SUNBURST ? EDITORIALS i CLASS UF 1923 Surely in all the years that have passed hy, since Washington High School was estfhblislied, with all the clrsses that have been graduated, never has there been a Senior Class which has arrived at its seniority l'ke the Class of 1923. Throughout the entire four years, since our matriculation, it has been one con- stant struggle to keep up' the appearances, which the younger generation is expected to effect.. But, in spite of the fact that there are thirteen bot bed heads, a cosmet- ical art of aidinfr n'ture5 a Valentino's sleekness, and a general enthusiasm for jazz melodies, not to mentioreigie several elopements and the like, we will feel very confident to have our class go .ia record alongside of those recorded classes, whose membersl did not have to go through such a strenuous Ilapperdom and after all, we believe our education when weighed in the I alance will not be found wanting, Seriously thouvh, as we look back upon these four years, it seimilcl ossible the many things that hive' been crowded in, and we view with pride those liihgs with which we have had much to do and which will remain after us. We kndwfftllat grad-' uation means more than leaving just the school and its associations. There is a something-a spirit ind'finable-which will not come back to us. no matterihow often we shall visit in this school, the doors of which are always wide open, Welcom- ing aluniag f ' . ' i Justifour short years, yet it seems but yesterday, when we first had an oppor- tunity of the second corridor, and passing l'y those on the lower floor with a secret feeling of superiofty. Time and again we, as have all others, have been warned to make the most of these, our happiest yearsg and now as we leave, we look i ot rsgretfully but nhiopcfully, that we have m-ide all of the school days, as hap- W Worth while as possible. That, only the coming years will tell. ' - THE PUBLIC SCHOOL The public school is one of the newest instftutons of our modern civilization and has beenrbrought to its present degree of advancement and perfection, in the United States. It is universally recognized by all great nations of the world. - The public school is the one place where people of all classes, all political beliefs, rll religious sects and all walks of life meet each other squarely and on an equal basis. In our public schools We all discuss the same questicnsg we are taught by the same. people and our interests are common., Educatieng such as one may receive iii publ'c schools is determining more and more each the outcome of our race. Carlyle has said that an educated man stands in the midst of an arsenal armed fcr every offense, Where as the uneducated man stands,las it were, outside, feeling that the fort must he stormed if he is to gain cnt ran ce. Our public schools are offering to us today more than we can accept. Our duty as members of this great growing institution is to give to it our best, and in our small way help the public school to know a still greater day. Q A riffs' , c-re '
