THE SCHOOL CConcludedD School Spirit. There is a distinct spirit about the school which is also marked by everyone that visits the school. It is the spirit of honesty and friend- ship, that which forbids littleness, meanness, and insincerity. This is shown not simply in the relation of the students one to another, but likewise in relation of Faculty and Students. The .spirit of the school is the spirit of devotion to the best things. There is not a disposition here to allow the good to be the enemy of the best. The school is peculiarly free from the clique spirit and from the dis- position to fence one's self off and to separate one's self from the common crowd. The school spirit is therefore a spirit of real democ- racy. Each one is as good as the other if he behaves himself and does his work earnestly and honestly. The Ideals. The Ideals of Cecil High are varied. First of all, when one thinks of a High School he thinks of what may be termed the distinctly educa- tional ideal. For several years the standards of the school have been the standards required by the State Department of Instruction. The ideals of the school educationally demand of her that she keep abreast of 'the educational progress of the State and Nationg that she stand for the highest individuals idealsg that she measure up to the standard in the matter of an efficient leadership in her faculty, having men and women thoroughly equipped for the work which they undertake to do. The Purpose. The real purpose of Cecil High School is the development of a virilc manhood and worthy womanhood. To this end all her energies are bent in the direction every one climbs, for this purpose all members of the faculty daily striveg as a result ideas are changedg ideals are set up toward which men strive with all their might and an increasing number of splendidly equipped young men and women are going forth from the school year by year to take in higher institutions of learning their place and to do their full share in the most efficient way of the world.

Mamie Masquelier ............ . . . .French Listen to me and I'll 'tell you About some teachers that I knew At Cecil Township High they stay From early morn 'till late all-day. Before I start to tell you this I'll say each name begins with Miss. They come from all parts of the land, To Cecil Township High most grand To tell us all of X and Y's, That we to fame may quickly riseg To me they're sure a funny bunch For when they go to eat their lunch, They sit around a .stove and talk About the things that they have wrought Upon their pupils, thru' the day And think it's funny, even gay. I've often wished that I could say Just what I thought of them some day, And now the time has come for this So if by chance I lurk or miss, Some good or evil quality Just call me up and tell me. Professor Moore altho not in The faculty, has always been A loyal worker you may guess For our school, C. T. H. S. McDonald. Pa. C. H. Kerr ............................ Music Fanny Street, McDonald, Pa. THE FACULTY 9. For years he's worked for it alone. And for the progress it has shown We owe to him a debt unpaid For his life and worthy aid. The best and biggest of teachers all You may surmise is Miss Kendallg Her hair is wavy golden brown And a smile on her face is always found. She always has a pleasant face, And for good looks she takes first place Among the teachers of the school And no exceptions to the rule. To us she is both good and kind, A better teacher you cannot find. She never gets real cross in class, Even though a note we pass, But by her nature good and true, Commands respect from me and you. She teaches many studies well, In history she likes to dwell The best of all and I can say In it she's very good each day. You doubtless know she's principal, And with knowledge nigh invincible She Hlls the place extremely well, Of a better one I could not tell.
