Til-i E1 'ZE'l'AfCICfDRDlA 19 31 BRYAN HIGH SCHOOL IN RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT A factory is known by its product, its output. This is true of institutions, as well as of factories. 'l'he public high school is among our newer institutions. lt has had a spectacular growth. Ours is but one concrete illustration of all high schools. ln loog there were ninety pupils in liryan lligh. This number grew to three hundred, sixty-tive in IQ27, but decreased to three hundred, twenty-live for the current year. During that time, there has been a very commendable spirit in this high school. Iioys and girls, as well as teachers, have contributed their line talents and energy to build up ideals of education that have given us an enviable record. Our athletic teams have a reputation for clean sportsmanship, and have won tlieir share of games. In oratory, debate. and music we have earned many victories. Nor have we failed in scholarship tests. All these are tine, but now llryan High must set a new goal. Individuals have won games and contests, but a few individuals are not the measure of a 4 4 J' school. Too many pupils have failed to measure up. If tlie high school would maintain, or raise, its present standard, all must contribute. A factory that puts out some good products, but also some inferior work, soon loses the contidence Q43-fjff of the public. llryan High needs to set a new standard of scholarship. ln a C' linal analysis, this, with high moral ideals, is the measure of its efficiency. From being a so-called luxury, the high school has become a necessity. This complex age demands better training. lf this civilization would continue, it must rest upon the marching feet of educated boys and girls. H. G. Wells is right when he says lt tcivilizationl has always been a race between education and catas- trophef' Every age must not only earn it own living, but must also contribute its share to society in general. High school has little claim upon a community -x for support unless its students make some real contribution to the community ,gg life, eitlier by enriching their lives, or by building a better community. lligh ii, school possibly should help get a living, but more, it should make the bread vou 'ix cat sweeter to the taste. ' May llryan High continue to contribute its share in helping to make this old world a better place in which to live, and give a nudge to higher and better living in this connmmity. lt can be done if each student and teacher will do his t part. I believe he will. -j IV. l1 .W,m'f, ..efuii i,,..fj3,...,1-Tf'gghdy, ...- - , Nd , .ati--...,s,--I-New-,...-. 'XAW X, , ,,-X... -fuk, hz'-OW l .. H K f --gA..-fX- Jig' ififrseaes e s-f' ..,.
