In the Founding Grant of the university with which I am connected is the statement that its chief aim is 'Kthe instruction of students with a view to producing leaders and educators in every held of science and industryfl In order to develop this leadership the University has estabf lished many departments but is specifically guided in its trust to take up experimentation and research. To be a leader it is not enough merely to understand the useful knowledge that is available. It requires constant study of new things and of the unknown. Leadership comes to the person who is willing to work harder than the rest, to know more about any given subject than the others, and to be willing always to keep an open mind for new information and new ideas. We would remain staf tionary, or go backward, without fresh leadership every year. 'Those of you who are ambitious to advance and to do public service must be more industrious than your felf lows, think more often, and work for the public good.

THE HALL GUARDS The l-lall Guards are a group of students whose duty is to keep the halls of the school in good order to prevent students from going from one class to another during class time, and to keep students from loitering in the halls and creating a disturbance. This vigilance prevents students from cutting classes, because they are not able to pass through the halls without the written permission of the teacher in charge. There are no particular require- ments for joining this group, since any student with a free period is eligible for the job. The job is entirely thankless except for the commendation of the sponsor and the faculty, but the service is necessary, because a rigid discipline must be maintained in the halls at all times in order to permit quiet. Mr. Evan Engberg is the sponsor of the l-lall Guards, the Auto Patrol, and the Bounds Committee. THE AUTO PATROL The Auto Patrol is one of the safety organizations in the school and is composed of a group of older boys. Their duty is to prevent students from moving their cars during school hours and to inspect the neighborhood gathering places in search of students who have violated the school rules and gone off bounds. Older boys are chosen, because it is necessary that they be licensed operators and have automobiles which can be used for patrolling. This job is much more important than it may seem at first glance, because the school is respon- sible for all students during the school hours, and if the pupils were permitted to leave the school premises, the school would be involved in cases of injuries, theft, and other types of casualties. This is done, too, because the parents must be assured of a maximum of safety while their children are at school. THE BOUNDS COMMITTEE The Bounds Committee is a group of students under the supervision of one of the fac- ulty. lt is a duly authorized body with the power to recommend wrongdoers to appear be- fore their respective courts. The committee is laid out scientifically to apprehend all stu- dents who attempt to go off of the school grounds during school hours. This body is a nec- essity because a state law requires that no one leave the school premises during school hours. Membership in the committee is not compulsory, but is made up of students desirous of aiding the school by enforcing the school laws. OFFICE FORCE Miss Cassil Hegglund, Miss Isabelle Lindsay, Mrs. Irene Mason, Mr. james R. Lee, Miss Betty Bowers, Miss Grace Woolfsey, Mrs. Helen Anderson. zumzfw-mmm.
