ffhe 1923 ffzkcq EDITORIALS THANK YOU! The staff wishes to thank the members of the student body, the faculty, and all who aided us in any way in publishing this book. COMMENCEMENT Commencement is the end of our happy associations in dear old C. H. S. For four years we have worked, played, and made friends with our classmates. We realize that we are met together for the last time as an organized body. Our classmates will be scattered far and wide. Some of us may reach the heights of fame, while others will walk the lowly paths of life. We do not know what the future holds for us, but we do know that the friendships we have made during these four years will be lasting. But to all of us the end of our high school days means that we will be thrown more upon our own resources, will have to shoulder many more responsibilities, and adjust ourselves to new conditions of life. EDUCATION Graduates ought to be educated. But education, in the best sense of the word, does not mean merely acquiring knowledge. Our class has had some very bright pupils, stars in Latin, Mathematics, and Sciences. These honor students have consequently received high grades. There were others who were slower to learn the facts, circumstances, and dates for which we were graded, so their marks were lower. Now which of these two groups is educated, or is either group? Test them by the answers from the following questions which a professor in a Chicago Unix er sity says a person, educated in the best sense of the word, can answer aflirmatively: Has education made you public spirited? Has it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself? Can you look an honest man or a pure woman in the eye? Will a lonely dog follow you in the street? Can you be high-minded and happy in the meanest drudgeries of life? Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn just as compatible with high-thinking as piano playing and golf? Are you good for anything yourself? Can you be happy alone? Can you look on the world and see anything but dollars and cents? OUR NEW PRINCIPAL C. H. S. has pep and vim. And it's all because of him, Our principal. He just came to us this year, But were fast friends now, so cheer Our principal. He can see things through Youth's eyes, Knows why lessons we despise, He's young you see. Are your studies hard and drear? Mr. Faust makes them appear He not only knows the way To conduct High Schools, but say, He's some actor! And sometimes, he e'en plays cook: If you doubt it, steal a look In the back door. Ladies, it's no use to pose. We've a mesasge sad for those, Who have tarried. All your hopes have been in vain, That some day you'll bear his name Short and easy. For he's married! -E. A. S. . . 465
