EDITCRIALS AU REVOIR Though the class of ,ZS is leaving this High School forever, and perhaps some of them never to see it again, we shall never forget it, and the good times we have had here. It may be said in a joking way, that our trials and troubles are over when we are once out of High School, but it is with a heavy heart that we leave our teachers, fellow classmen and school work. Though we go to college and to work we will never know the same people or have our teachers to advise us. We will learn different things and meet different people, and we all know positively that it will be an entirely different life. There is a sad feeling with all of us, chances to come in contact with A. U. H. home for four years, with our principal mother. There are faculty advisors who years, some have left us, and others have their help and co-operation. but we hope that we shall have many S. for many years. She has been our and vice-principal a good father and have been with us through our four taken their places, but we appreciated We bid the Freshmen farewell, like the Sophomores and Juniors, because the Freshmen are the solid foundation to every High School. We love our school, NVe love each flower, Each shrub, each bud, each treeg VVe love the sun, the moon, the stars, The rivers and the seag VVe love the meadows, love the hills, The VVind with its whistle or sighg We love the world and all it holds Because, the world holds Anaheim High. In conclusion we say in truth and loyalty- Au Revoir, but not Goodbye HONESTY Why should we speak of honesty? Not because there is any doubt but that every one of us is honest, down to the core, but because of the danger that lies ahead of us in temptation. It is so easy to slide back, just one step, just an inch, oh, it makes a circumstance so much easier to bear. Do you realize that that back slide is slick and down hill? How easy it is to retrace your steps and get out of the rut. Perhaps this will not apply to the under-classmen until they are ready to gradu- ate, but it will be wise for everyone to heed a warning. Successful people, and that is what we all want to be, and are going to be, are born out of honesty. Do you want your personal gains and your business gains to be made from your own good merit or to be only half grown, and always reminding you that they were-right- fully some one else? No matter how far we travel, into what sources of work, we go, with whom we make friends, let our high ideal and motto be: Honesty is the best policy. l16l

WHAT IS STUDY? Every pupil entering this school is requested to take a short course in the methods of study. Some take it seriously, and some take it because they have to. A few years ago, I heard Dean VVest of Princeton say that a large per cent of their college students didn't know how to study. He gave two examples: One was a fellow who sat in the corner of a room for an hour with his book upside down, idly dreaming about everything in general and nothing in particular. The other fellow went quietly and quietly to the library, got a book and, at the end of an hour, could give a complete review of what he had read. - VVhat is study, then? It is putting forth a conscious mental effort in order to attain some difficult goal or aim. The fellow who really studies has complete control of his mental faculties and drives on to the goal with exact precision. VV hat the world needs today is men and women who can control and drive their mental processes to the successful conclusion of some definite task. To refer to Elbert Hubbard, the world needs people who can Carry a Message to Garciaf' people who can think clearlyg who can act independentlyg who can absolutely deliver the message to Garcia, as did Rowan. Elbert Hubbard was right, and, although no monument can mark the watery grave of the Lusitania victims, Mr. Hubbard will always be remembered as the man who made known to the world the carrying of the message to Garcia. Young people! Study to show yourselves worthy of the great endowment and worthy precedents of this school and community. Study, that you may train your minds for worthy and noble positions. Study that you may reap the rich heritage of past generations. Study that you may be richly endowed with a broad, keen and sympathetic mind, which is one of the greatest gifts of the Creator. A-Bert F. Steelhead. ALL THE WORLD IS A STAGE How clearly these famous words spoken by one of Shakespeare's characters over three hundred years ago ring true today. XVhat are we doing but acting upon the stage of life? There are star actors, good actors, fair actors and actors. Vtlhich classification do you come under? It all depends upon how faithfully you applied yourself when you had flze clzarzec. The best of actors cannot properly portray the character they represent if they do not know their lines perfectly. XVhat are the teachers here for? They are coaching you to go on to this stage. Your books are the manuscripts from which you are learning your part to play upon this stage. Everyone in our school has the same books to study and the same part to learn, but what makes a genius is how you interpret the part after you know it. On the stage of life upon which many of us are just entering, what responsibility will you feel? What interpretation will you put on the part of the great play that you learned in High School? VVill your interpretation of your part be that you shall be ambitious or lazy, that you will have self-control or let your feelings carry you away, that you shall be clean in speech and actions, or be otherwise? Wihatever it may be, remember that All the World is a Stage, and All the Men and VVomen Are Merely Playersg and One Man in His Time Plays Many Partsf' l17l
