MATERIALISM vs IDEALISM MATERIALISM vs IDEALISM--the greatest problem in our school life. Satisfaction with the general routine: a remarkable lack of desire to get out of the rut and treat with bigger things--really it is a most important problem. ' When people become satisfied with things as they are, they no lcnger advance towards a higher goal. Business comes to a standstill. Each day it is the same old grind, grind, grind: no variety, no change in the routine of life. The same applies to us of A. U. H. S. We, too, have come to the paint where we are satisfied with the materials at hand. Apparently there is no ideal towards which we are striving. There is no desire for the wcrth- while things of life. The majority of the students are content, even though they take no part in school activities. Why not try to do away with this evil, for evil it is, by doing some thing that will in some way better you and A. U. H. S. Even ifit is only to read a work of some famed author, to perform some act of kindness to a classmate, to bring a shrub or plant of some sort or other and plant it on the school grounds, do it,.and do it now! Join the Dramatic Club, get into the Band or Glee Club--anything, so long as you are entering into the spirit of the undertaking. These are the finer things of life, and surely they can do you no harm. .
