Cn Qui' High School Journey 0 In prospect the journey through high school seems long and difficult. In retrospect it is but a very short span on life's high- way. By the time one has finished high school, he should have acquired certain habits, attitudes, and ideals which mark him as a desirable and useful member of society. Youth's journey through high school may be a pleasant and in- valuable experience, unlocking doors to a limitless world of knowledge. The effect it has on each individual is dependent upon the point of view he adopts. Before the temple of Excellence the immortal gods have placed labor: and the way to it is long and steep, and at the commence- ment rough: but when the traveler has arrived at the summit, it then becomes easy, however diflicult it was at lirstf'-Hesiod M.

Cui' Administrators Guide Us L. J. GUSTAFSON 0 Youth, said George Bernard Shaw, the noted English writer, is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. Looking back over a lifetime of achievement, Shaw is entitled to make such a statement. Perhaps anyone from the vantage point of old age can call up nostalgic memories of youth-mem- ories of friends made and friends lost, opportunities taken and others which eluded the grasp, and golden experiences enjoyed or ignored. Youth's journey through high school provides a series of experiences, and happy associations each one of which either adds to his stature or takes away. The public school of the United States is a great institution and proving ground for youth: it lies within the power of each in- dividual to make it truly meaningful to himself. L. J. GUSTAF-SON Principal
