4 THE GREEN AND WHITE Editorial THE GREEN AND WHITE The Green and White is a medium by which the citizens of the town of Bristol are brought in closer contact with the pupils by seeing what can be accomplished by them. They read the literary columns and note the great advance in literature and English; they read the review of the Senior class, the base ball reports; they smile at the jokes, they discover where our alumni are. It not only divulges information about the school, but also brings the classes into closer contact. -----o------ DON’T NEGLECT THE CHANCE FOR A COLLEGE EDUCATION There is a book called Who’s Who in America,” which includes a list of about twenty-five thousand of the best known living Americans. It doesn’t matter what line a man makes his name in, whether in business, or in engineering, or in agriculture, or in some profession, if he is a leader, his name gets into this list. The point about this list that is of most importance to high school students is that almost three-quarters of these leading men and women have attended college. Now you know very well that not over one person in fifteen goes to college, yet it is those few who do go to college that furnish the greater part of the leaders in our country. If you are looking forward to making the greatest possible success out of your life you should make every effort to attend a college. You need a college education in order to take your place with the best men and women in the doing of the bigger jobs of life. The State of Rhode Island has realized that many young men and women cannot afford the seven hundred or a thousand dollars a year which it costs to go to one of the endowed Universities and has provided a free State College at Kingston so that it will be possible for almost any High School graduate in the state to continue his education through college at almost no expense, except for board and room. For day students the cost is only $60 a year. The Rhode Island State College is growing rapidly each year and now has a teaching force and courses that compare favorably with those in any college or university. The new courses in Business Administration and finance will be of especial interest to all who are planning a business career. The Rhode Island State College is maintained by the state in order that Rhode Island may have the largest possible number of successful leaders in its business and industries and professions. It offers you the opportunity of “The best education at the least expense” in order that you may profit by its instruction and on graduation may be readv to take a larger responsibility in the affairs of the state and nation. -----o------ C. M. H. S. MEN AT STATE COLLEGE Four men from the Colt Memorial High School are now at Rhode Island State College. Abner H. Bailey, who graduated in 1919, is now a senior in the Applied Science course, and a member of Theta Chi fraternity. During the last two years he has been on his class track team, and during his Sophomore, Junior and Senior ’■ears he has earned his varsity letter on the track team. Bailey has been on the cross-country team for the past three years and has been on his class basket ball team, and for two years has been a member of the college band. Since his Sophomore year he has been a member of the Rhode Island Club. Abner has been making an especially good record on the College cross-country team and has done considerable distance work on the track. Alfred H. Hill, a junior in the electrical engineering course, is also a member of Theta Chi fraternity. He has been active in athletics and has been on his class basket ball, foot ball and base ball teams.
