THE VALUE OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION APART from the building in which it is housed, the personnel of the Broken Bow High School and its value to the community is a matter in which every citizen of the city should have a deep and lasting interest. When we consider the curriculum of the high school in its present form it presents a course of study equal to colleges and seminaries of two scores of years ago. A college education of that day was a distinction that few people could afford. But today the necessity of urging the young men and women of the present day to avail themselves of the opportunity to pass from boyhood and girlhood into young manhood and young womanhood with a full knowledge of the things taught and offered by the present high school course is as great as ever. To do otherwise is to rob them of an equal opportunity of a successful career, when they enter the Teal race of life. The discipline of a high school student, the habit of application he is forming, the spirit of self-control whereby he applies himself to study rather than to enjoyments of various kinds to which the trend of his nature calls him, in and by itself, is worth the time, thejnonev, and the energy he is called upon to put forth in order to attain his desire. The first graduate of our high school, its first commencement, was the class of 1890. I)r. Willis E. Talbot was the whole class. He is making good and as far as we know a large percent of the graduates from our high school have made good in the several walks of life where they have found themselves. The training, the discipline they received at the high school must be an element in the success of the school’s graduates. From the first commencement to and including the class of ’19, some six hundred students have finished high school course and taken up some kind of work as a life’s vocation. They are being heard from time to time and our citizenship is enriched because of the manner in which they are performing their work. They are a credit to the community that sustains it. Page 11
