EDITORIAL EB ACH member of this June class of 1927 has an ambition. Matin Probably there are none that are alike, some are made for the present, others for the future. At the time of being graduated, these ambitions are fresh and uppermost in our minds. VVe are determined to make a success of our lives. Then, after graduation, the ambitions pale and lose some of their rosy hue. Most of us are interested only in the present and its pleasures. But although we may not appre- ciate the fact, the future is nearer to us than we realize. Some- thing has to be done about this future, but what shall be done? The ambitions that have been created in High School should help us to prepare for this future. By ambition I do not mean a term, an empty word. In it should be concentrated all your force and determination. Your ambition should be what the future is going to mean to you. The person who has an ambition, and is willing to sacrifice and work for that ambition, is the one who will have a future. Nothing is attained without effort. For some people it is hard to make an effort, but would it not be easier if there were something worth the effort? By that I mean, aim high. As in that old quotation, Hitch your wagon to a star, if you have a high aim, there will be a stimulus to gain that goal. There is also a part of that quotation which says that the wagon upset. But, if there be a good driver, there will be no upsetting. That is why I prefer that more modern verse, which says: Hitch your wagon to a star, Keep your seat, and there you are. Q VVhat could be more encouraging than that? It guarantees that one may obtain one's goal by proper driving. Each one of us has been taught how to drive, we need the wagon and star, and what one of us will not select the wagon and the lofty star, and keep them? It is the sure way to a successful future.

Have we obtained a foundation upon which to build? If we have, then, we have obtained the thing for which we have labored. This is merely the be- ginning. Our learning has just com- menced. Can you conceive success without early training to combat the many impediments of life? For in- stance, of what good would our school building be, if the foundation were not strong, and capable of upholding all that is built upon it? Does not the same thing apply to us, who are about to be graduated? Must we not use our fundamentals and enlarge upon them? Must not our fundation be strong to withstand the many setbacks we may encounter? The storms have raged for many years about Central High School, but -its foundation has been strong enough to withstand them. Of what use would the magnificent rooms and walls be without a good foundation upon which to rest? Likewise, the future of our lives depends on the early training which we are about to complete in part. VVe speak passingly of foundations, but are foundations built spontaneously? VVas our school building built upon a foundation that was found ready and waiting? No, it had to be prepared by dint of much hard work! By whom was this work performed? In the case of the building, by day-laborersg in the case of the student, by the work of the teachers. Thus, the time of gradu- ation may be compared to the comple- tion of the foundation. How have we students responded to the untiring efforts of our instructors? Have we made the best of this great opportunity, or have we let it slip by? Some have looked into the future, as early as this, and have forseen that what they do today will surely be of inestimable value to them tomorrow. Others have been able to see only the present and have thought to enjoy themselves now. Let us compare the student with the ground that is being I age Eight fashioned into a foundation. If the earth is soft and yielding, the workers can easily mould it into perfect shape. Likewise, the teachers have been able to mould the characters of those stu- dents who have been willing to work and who are open to conviction. Vtfe may speak lightly of instructors, but have you ever thought of what there is that attracts people to the teaching profession? In these days, when there are so many attractive pos- sibilities, what can induce anyone to devote his or her life to teaching? Cer- tainly, it is not so remunerative that it stands out as the royal road to wealth and fame. Therefore, there must be However, we some underlying cause. have still to determine what this cause is. Perhaps they have looked into the future and have decided to prepare the future citizens for the battle of life! In return for their efforts, what do they receive? Do they not value more highly than money the pride in witness- ing the good students whom they have turned out? They are not placed in the Hall of Fame after they are dead and gone. They are not honored and re- vered while they live. On the con- trary, they are most bitterly condemned by the unappreciative students. They do not become teachers until they have gone through long years of training. This, alone, would serve to discourage any but the most persistent. Later, there is the thought of teaching the same work term after term, until it be- comes monotonous. Still they labor incessantly. In view of all these things, the grad- uating students tender their hearty thanks to Mr. Manley, who has been at the helm of our ship and has guided us safelyg to Mr. Hubbard and Miss Iargstorff, who, in additon to their cus- tomary duties, have very kindly de- voted their services to the graduating class, to Miss Brophy, who has cheer- fully donated her services to the Nor- mal School Candidates, and to all the other teachers who have helped and guided us during our years at Central High School.
