Il This summer every student should plan to see at least one session of the Olympic Games. Many, I know, will follow their daily progress through the medium of the newspaper, the radio, and the news reels. From this contact I expect to see emerge as one outstanding feature an increase in friendly relations. Men from all corners of the earth will meet on a basis of a common understanding, disregarding totally the factors of language, color, and race. The athlete admires his opponent in competition, whether he wins or loses, for the person that wins often has a slightly different structural development that accounts for his success. Such admiration may easily grow into a lasting friendship. If the participants feel this friendship and spread this feeling to their homelands when they return, sure' ly we as spectators should absorb enough to have it reflected in our daily lives. May we not hope to rededicate ourselves to an attempt to try and understand the other person's viewfpoint in case of a misunderstanding? Cannot we practice more thoroughly the spirit of the golden rule which carries with it the simple elef ments of friendship? Would it not be worth while to strive toward an ideal situaf tion-a school in which everyone tries to do that which he should do? Friendship opens the door to its possible realization. R. W. WADSWORTH i9l

N fr ' f -fwvi-fr . ...s-.A s X , af, A+- W . Q iiaisfaa fi GIRLS' VICE-PRINCIPAL Western civilization owes a debt to Greece which it is impossible to overfestif mate. The Greeks built up a new and vig' orous culture of their own, and their civilizaf tion reached such a degree of perfection that it has been imitated ever since. In fact, if we should remove all traces of Greek influence from our modern school curriculum, there would be little left. The Greek language, the most perfect ever developed, had its natural flowering in a literature whose richness has never been surpassed: epic poetry, drama, oratory, philosf ophy, and history. The Greeks were prefeminent in art and architecture. One has only to note the persistence of the classic through all other and transitory phases of art and architecture to realize its funda- mental importance for all time. Mathematics, natural science, and medicine also acknowledge their Greek origins. The Greek ideal of a healthy body played an important part in their scheme of education, was reflected in the perfection of their sculpture, and received public acclaim every four years in the celebration of the Olympic games. Thus it seems very appropriate that a school, dedicated to the teaching of ideals of character, mental achievement, and physical wellfbeing should honor the ancient Greeks in the school annual , especially in a year when the nations are honoring Greece through the modern counf terpart of the ancient Glympic games. We wish for you all the happiness and freedom which the Greeks found in things of the spirit and which made of them one of the most contented races. Sincerely yours, HARRIET C. ROBBINS T101
