Mas Our Migf)C3cl)ool Training Done for Us? Those four long years of work and pleasure, of joys and trials, are now but scenes of the past. Have they been profitable years? Has high school life been all that it has promised to be? Or have we been disappointed in our expectations? Has high school become merely an institution to imbibe geometric axioms, to learn dull rules of grammar, or to compete in the contest for marks? Or to consider the other extreme, does it signify a resting place for idlers or a wild field for pleasure-seekers? To some, indeed, this is the true significance of high school life. The grind has attained his hopes in the feverish race for marks. He has made no friends, he has no activities, he has never ventured outside of his narrow sphere, but he is satisfied. High school has given what he asked for. The highest ambitions of the pleasure lover have been realized in a continual round of dances and amusements. He, too, is content. But, let us hope that to the vast majority, high school has meant something infinitely better and deeper. Let us wish that it has been a means toward helping friendships; and instrumental in the acquisition of true moral courage, and lastly, an aid in the preparation of the greater battle of life. Arvada High School, alma mater, We bid you now a fond adieu; There ain’t no school could be much greater Than are you. We’ve learned a lot and then forgot it; There was a lot we didn’t learn. Diploma in our hand, we do not Give a dern. As Freshmen green we started here; There wasn’t much we didn’t know. The upperclassmen disagreed and— Told us so. But Sophomores are surely wisest— We knew we were the best in town. Seniors, seeing it was their duty. Took us down. Juniors, close to great attainment, Moving forward round the bend Of our third year of high school training, Saw the end. As Seniors now we’ve reached the summit. We know the world is in our hand. And now we shout in joyous accents, “Ain’t it grand!” HELEN GURNEY. Page Eight
