Editorial As we, the Seniors, are leaving school this J une, we should look back and try to make out the benefits of our high school education and the pleasure and happiness we have received. A little recollection can easily show how important and valuable were our four years here. Four years ago this August, we entered Sutter High to achieve a higher education, 11ot just to spend our time. Our aim was the development of co- operation, wholesome friendship, and better citizenship. Now, looking hack, we realize that we have learned to cooperate in our class and club activities, in the class room, and on the athletic field. It is well that we have done so, for very little can be accomplished in this world without cooperation. We have developed a fine sense of friendship by our association with all our classmates and acquaintances. ln grammar school we make our first friends, and in high school we have increased our ability to work and get along with others. Friendship is the essence of society. Who could live without friends? Also, we have learned the meaning of better citizenship, not only in our classwork, but also by good sportsmanship on the playing field. As we are the future voters of our country, it is our duty to become better citizensg and with our high school education behind us, we feel as though we have taken a big step toward the fulfillment of that obligation. Since the knowledge and instruction received in high school is the highest education most of our citizens get today, it is little wonder that we re- gard so highly all that we have learned in the past four years. Those of us who will go to college will also he thankful for their high school training, for it will prove a strong and firm foundation for future work in the educational Held. In any event, our high school education will he equally advantageous, for the art of thinking, which is cultivated in high school, is always useful in any work or occupation. Education is the basis of democracy, without it democracies fail, and dictatorships spring up. We have taken part in the government of our student body and have learned something about the principles of democracyg therefore, we feel better equipped to step into the affairs of our national government and take a hand in American progress. ' Perhaps we can not yet see all the benefits of our high school education, but we can readily realize and appreciate these few mentioned above. We have now finished our high school careers and are heading toward higher things, but often shall we have the opportunity to recall the memories of the happiest and best four years of our lives. ---John McGee
