HOWARD A. LATTA Principal, Webster Groves High School Quik Youth as a span of life is variously looked upon. Some would describe it as a time of being light-hearted, irresponsible, frivolous, aimless-perhaps fallaciously called the play period of life. The actions of some thoughtless, selfish youth do so betray their group. However, the great majority of youth have an idealism, a straight-forwardness, and a genuineness that can seldom characterize the majority of people in any of the succeed- ing spans of life. Give youth a fair oppor- tunity at life's more serious obligations-the challenge of an emergency-and no other group will arise to the occasion with greater vigor, determination, fearlessness, or sincer- ity of purpose. In our twentieth century America much of our youth is spent in high school. That span of our life is to a great extent charac- terized by how our school served us and how we served our school. We grow or fail to grow in our ability to get along with others: we assume or fail to assume responsibility and leadershipg we become or fail to become self-directive and self-educative: and we make or fail to make lasting friendships. Youth is an important. and purposeful span in our life. So may it have been for those who graduated in 1948-so may it be for those who are to carry on at Webster High. Operator ? Reminiscing.
