What Is True School Spirit? EVERYONE, I suppose, asks himself this question at sometime during his school life. It is a hard one, and yet it is one that every student must answer, whether he realizes it or not; because on his answer depends both what he does for the school and what the school does for him. I have not come to a decision yet but I have found out some things of which I feel very sure. It has often been said that the aim of the schools is to make good citizens. The state can afford to spend such great sums on its youth because it needs good citizens. It needs men with strong bodies, capable of bearing arms in time of war; men and women loo. of sound judgment and foresight; men and women of clean, wholesome morals; above all it needs men accustomed to work together, each sacrificing something of his own for the common good. Now a good school trains all of these qualities. If we are to follow the wishes of the state (as we ought to do, since it pays for our education) we ought each one of us to try to attain these four qualities, and not only one or two but all of them. A weak boy who finds studying easy should set himself first of all to build up his body; a strong boy who has trouble with his lessons should turn his attention not to athletics, but to his school work. So we ought, all of us. to devote the most time to those departments of the school—athletics, dramatics, debating, the different studies, or whatever they may be—that will do us the most good. The best thing one can do for the school, it seems to me, is the best thing one can do for oneself. Nothing that harms oneself can be good for the school. That may sound like Mr. Cook’s offer to boil water till it freezes, but if you will think it over, you will see that the best thing you can possibly do for your school is to make a man or woman of yourself. Earnestness, devotion, can make up for a deficiency in the rest, either in the nation or in the school. Fred Tryon. Tvctlct

IT is with pleasure that the Hesperian Board presents to their fellow classmates, schoolmates and faculty this annual of the Class of 1910. It has been an enjoyable task to compile this book and as wc have done our best to make it a good one we hope that it will meet with the earnest approval of its readers. This was our first attempt at publishing a book and now that it is done, our only regret is that wc have not another one to get out. We hope that the June Class of 1911 will publish a book next year, using this book as a standard size and continuing to use the name Hesperian. IN the making of this book wc have many people to thank. Besides the faculty and students who so willingly co-operated with us to make this book possible we arc especially indebted to the Board of Control and the various organizations of the school. For business courtesies we have to thank Hahn Harmon, the printers, and especially Mr. Robertson and Mr. Olson; The Bureau of Engraving, Mr. Betting, in particular; The John Leslie Paper Co.; Miller’s Studio; The Western Architect; and Mr. Rawson, of The Minneapolis I ribune.
