nqwsawfiavm www The good name of Baldwin High School is not dependent upon individuals who have entered its doors. lt is a composite of the success of many stu, dents who have contributed their best over the years, in the activities of the school. Talent has been diversified in every entering class. Some have achieved athletic success while others have won academic honors in competitive examinations. Unusual ability has been demon- strated in Dramatics, School Assemblies, Publica- tions, and civic responsibilities. There are two points of view which must prevail if Baldwin is to continue her progress, or even achieve greater success. ln the first place, students must make sure that everyone is given a chance to contribute in some way to the life of Baldwin. This does not mean that leadership cannot continue in the hands of those capable of it. lt does mean that a search for the ways and means of discovering in- terest and abilities will be devised so that EVERY student will be drawn into some activity, and have a sense of belonging to the school. This responsibility is not solely placed on the leaders of the school. Students must develop a willingness to enter into the spirit of the school-to become a part of the activities in any role which may be necessary to make the program a success. The second point of view is that of attitude, which, as much as contribution of talent, is necessary to the success of the school. Every student should pre- serve a friendly, cooperative attitude at all costs if the atmosphere of Baldwin is to be conducive to rich participation by each member of the school. The merging of these two factors results in the teamwork which is necessary in that segment of society housed within the walls of Baldwin lligh School. Truly, it is a cross-section of life as it will be carried on in any other institution. For every ball carrier there must be blocking and interference --a determination for the school to win, supported by organized cheers from the sidelines, and the emo- tional tingle of music which brings every person to his feet as the Alma Mater is played by the band. Every student must make his contribution in terms of his abilities and interests. The degree to which this fundamental principle is applied will mark the development of a sense of pride in the accomplish- ments of his school. A good school is a team work proposition and the spirit of Baldwin must not only be preserved but fostered so that students will anticipate it before en- tering her halls, and treasure it in their hearts for long years after their graduation.
