LOYALTY Loyalty is cheering for the Gobblers even when they are los¬ ing. Loyalty is helping to clean the gym after a party. Loyalty is faithfully attending practice or rehearsal when one would much rather have a date. Loyalty is wrapping crepe paper streamers around the goal posts on a freezing, wet, blustery Saturday morn¬ ing. Loyalty is staying on the job long after everyone else has quit. Loyalty is protecting a friend when he is not present. Loyalty is conducting oneself at all times, in all places, as though he is proud to be a student at Broadway High School. Our flag flies at half mast honoring former President Herbert Hoover. 1 We want a touchdown! . . . We just got it! 5

CHARACTER At Broadway High School, we are trying to create an environment which will encourage strength of character. This attempt is based on the conviction that knowledge alone is not sufficient preparation for life: learning must be supple¬ mented by strong character. Evidence of this aim is seen throughout the school, not only in the familiar framed proverbs which hang in the halls, but also in less tangible things. We can hear evidence of the aim in student conversations; we can see glimpses of the aim in the students ' conduct in classes, the hall or at a game. We can conclude by the students ' respect for their teachers and their participation in student government that they are affected by this aim. The ideal is revealed again at lunch, when the whole cafeteria is quiet for a moment and all heads are bowed for grace. In fact, all school activities are designed to help the student discover and develop the strength of character and the spiritual values needed for a happy, productive life.

asm SCHOLARSHIP The learning process does not occur automatically; rather, it requires the student to work and to work hard. For him to realize the opportunity for and challenge of the learning offered here, the student must be diligent and enthusi¬ astic in his studies. He must be constantly aware that patience and perfection are partners. Making good grades and being on the honor roll are two of the products of deliberate study, but they are transient. A real and lasting reward of scholarship is the ability to think - critically, creatively, and independently, and the art of expressing one ' s thoughts truly and accurately. This ability in turn stimulates a love of learning for its own sake, and results in a fuller, deeper, more meaningful life. The thoughts expressed are epitomized in two excellent students: Judy Kay Smith and Carolyn Strawderman.
