 f— I ——— + 1 Q‘ ‘) I +— €bttorial TTIK (’lass of 'i: broke all previous records of the Senior Classes of Cary High School, and they set the standard by which the other classes might he guided. This standard was to publish yearly an annual which was named the “(’hsite.’' As the years came, each class helped to develop this work. The class of ir receives credit for laying the foundation, and we are adding stones to it yearly with the publishing of our “Chsite.” Our work is before us. Are we capable of doing it creditably? It is yet to he proved. A creditable annual is well worth being proud of in any school. The ex- pression often referred to, ‘‘A tree is known by its fruit, can be applied to a school about its publications. This book contains memories of dear friends that can never be preserved in a more lasting way than in an annual. Many have said that one's school days are the most enjoyable days in life, and since we have enjoyed our (’. II. S. days so much, we believe this statement is true. Thus far the Chsite record has been splendid, and classes have proved them- selves worthy of carrying the name. When you casually pick up an annual, don't you first look to see what school it represents'? And when you know that it belongs to a wide-awake school, you look through it with the deepest interest. Therefore, an annual brings out the real character of a school; or in other words, an annual speaks for itself in the activities, and the developments of a school’s life. An annual affords the best means of voicing the expressions of the students. A real living, wide-awake book “boosts the popularity’’ of a school. Of course we want ours to be a “helper rather than a “hindercr. The class of '22 is not attempting to put out a costly publication. We want only to keep up the records, tlu standards set before us; in fact, to help keep (’. II. S. wide-awake—and we hope to be able to accomplish this purpose. This year we have made every effort to maintain the records in the classrooms and a bo on the athletic fields. Wo strive to make these efforts successful In- doing our duty to our teachers, thus helping to develop the moral nature and the physical body of the students. We play clean athletics and try always to show good sportsmanship, trying to do our best in all our attempts, so that we may do some good for the school as a whole. A part of our work is done—greater work is still ahead of us. Have we done our duty? We cannot be content with anything short of the best!- May the class of '22 succeed in its efforts—may it attain its ideal. “Excelsior.” Elsie II. Jackson, '22. I 8 |
