THE SENIOR ANNUAL QI Tribute THE TAXPAYERS. As the time comes when we must leave the schools in which we have spent the greater part of our youth we naturally turn about in our minds for words to express the appreciation we feel for those who have made pos- sible our educational journey. Foremost among these are the taxpayers of the city, that great body of citizens whose financial support has made the schools what they are. They may feel that we are not grateful, that we accept the privileges they give us merely as a matter of course. It is not unnatural that they should think so, for we have had no means of ex- pressing our sentiments. Hence these words. We are gratefulg we realize that many of us could not attend the high school were it not for the support of the public. And we should be blind, indeed, if we could not see the benefits we have derived from our training, the discovery of latent aptitudes and abilities which will make us better citizens, and if we were not thankful for them. We have learned much aside from books. We have learned to be democraticg thrown together, two thousand of us, we have learned to be human and to understand our fellows. Someone has called the public schools the greatest agent for democracy todayg certainly, none can deny that they are democratic. Learning these principles, we apply them to national life, and we understand better this cosmopolitan nation of ours, and we ap- preciate the workings of the melting pot and the fires beneath it. Because we have learned these things, we must be better citizens. Be- cause of this training, the public school means something to every Ameri- can-for every American deals with citizens, and every citizen is influenced in some way by the public schools. VVe feel sure that the present condition of overcrowding and insufh- ciency of necessary equipment in our school growing out of the marked in- crease in attendance, which during the past few years has outstripped the means of accommodation, will soon be remedied. XVhat the taxpayers have spent in our behalf will not be forgotteng it will come back to the city mul- tiplied. VVhen we become full fledged citizens, we shall, thanks to our early education, be more capable of returning in civic enterprise something of what has been expended in our behalf. VVe will do our best to return the bread cast upon the waters. Payc IO 4. Q K Z,
