Norbert Rose Helen Capwell Margaret Heitz Geneva Carney THE HISTORY OF AN ANNUAL The Catholic Central High School was beginning its second successful year of existence. The school had made rapid strides even during the first year-and now in the second year the increased enrollment promised a term even more eventful. School Activities began in full swing-Class Clubs began to thrive- Dramatics flourished-and the Athletic teams of the C. C. H. had begun to be recognized. It was in this second year that those interested in the welfare of the school turned their thoughts to a new field of endeavor. The time had arrived when the success of the school demanded that a wqrth while record be kept of its activ- ities. It was in accordance with this need that the First C. C. H. Annual was de- cided upon-tO be christened the Banner. VVhat name could be more appro- priate? The editorial staff of the First Banner was chosen. The task which confronted these pioneers was a great one-that of establishing a line of worth- while annuals. However, with the whole-hearted co-operation of the Faculty, students, and Alumni Association together with the backing ,of the good business men of Fort Madison, all obstacles were overcome and the 1927 Banner became a reality and a success. The fact that the Critics of the Chicago Art Crafts Guild thought well enough of the H1927 Banner to award it second place on the prize list, speaks plainly for the efforts of the Staff. Now, we, the Banner Staff of 1928, realize that our task is an even greater one. The C. C. H. has enjoyed wonderful growth. Its activities are covering a broader scope and its courses of study are spread over more varied fields. There- fore The Banner must go forward. But, as we sit around the large table in our composing-room and look over the mass of student essays, write-ups, and pic- tures that must make up the H1928 Banner, we are almost tempted to ask along with people who do not realize its mission, ls an Annual worth while? But, we need only turn our thoughts to our schoolmates for the answer, Yes, an Annual is worth while. To students it means much. The line of Ban- ners is the one connecting link between school life and later life. In years to come they can always turn to the Banner for fond recollections of happy eventful days spent in A'Dear Old C. C. H. We have seen our duty. When the 1928 Banner takes its place in line, may we say, We have done our best. If it does no more than give the people of Fort Madison a better insight, a more complete understanding of what the C .C. H. S. advocates, our humble efforts have 11ot been in vain. May our suc- cessors, the staff of '29, have reason to say, Here is what the staff of '28 accom- plishedg the good work must go on, we see our duty and will do it. -GILBERT S. KESSLER, '28, THIRTY-THREE

IT'S UP TO US Take this, my boy. and remember it long Though now it may strike you as funny, A job with a chance to improve and advance Is better than one that pays money. Take a hint from an old man who's traveled the way just need to his counsel a minute, There's a job that may pay you five dollars a day But that's all there will ever be in it. Don't look at the cash as so many boys do Take a look at the long years before youg See how much you can learn, not how much you can earn And the place which the future has for you. Can you rise from the post where they'd have you begin? How far will this humble job take you? These are questions to ask, they pay well for the task, But what sort of a man will it make you Oh, many a boy has begun with a rush And has grabbed for a man's wages blindly, Now he sticks as a man at the post he began, And thinks life has used him unkindly. So look for a job with a future ahead, Seek a chance to grow greater and greater, Seek a place where you know as you work you will grow. And the money will come to you later. -EDGAR A. GUEST. What is our place of largest usefulness in every day life, in the business of keeping the wheels of industry moving? There are a thousand little places to one big place. Naturally one would be led to believe that the scramble would eventually be for the few big places. But we need only look out into the world about us to discover that the scramble is for the little places, the places easy to get, any place to make a few big round dollars. Be that as it may, we have one really important fact to face-every one of us has a life to invest. God having given me this one life to invest, how shall I invest it? This should be the im- portant question uppermost in the mind of every student about to step out into the work-a-day world. Surely, we all have a common goal, that of making good our investment. It should indeed be encouraging to us to know that we are needed and that each one of us has an important part to play in the game. Every one of us without exception can assign himself to a task worthy of his greatest efforts. However, success can not always follow first attempts. Going up in life, means going up in our thinking. Schools and colleges were not instituted to teach pupils mere facts of books, but to teach them to think. Napolean conquered nearly the whole world, not because he was phy- sically more able than other men, but, because he thought. The student graduating from high school must realize as he steps out into the world of fame and fortune, that his destiny which he cannot dodge is in THIRTY-FOUR
