j-tt c- H 5 the witan SCHOLARSHIP ENCOURAGED AT CHARLOTTE HIGH SCHOOL Opportunities For Earning College Tuition By Superior High School Work Meritorious Records of Graduates The opportunities and activities of high schools today are so broad and varied that we find within them that which may appeal to the desires of all. We find not only occupation, but diversion, not only the call to duty, but the means of pleasure. The school paper may attract the attention of one, athletics, the glee club, the orchestra, dramatics may engage the abilities of others. Some may find their major efforts being concentrated on matters wholly outside of school, in some hobby, em- ployment or social affairs. But when we think, we realize that all these are but the sugar coating, except as they help us to acquire skills and knowledge, and to form proper habits of thought and study. We know that the real purpose of schools is to afford a chance to study, and that the students who get the most out o school are those who are soundest in scholarship. We admit that when wc come to the end of the term, whatever else we may have done, however much we may have enjoyed ourselves, if we have not passed our subjects well, our term has been a failure. We learn that higher institutions admit applicant: to their student body according to their scholarship rank. We acknowledge that the completeness with which we have reached our aim in attending high school is in proportion to the excellence of our marks. We know that the general public established and maintains our schools for community betterment and that self-government may survive. We understand that the public judges its schools by the scholarship of its product. Some record of the encouragement and recognition given for achievement in scholarship may be helpful to all, inspiring to some. At least it will show that far from being neglectful of our opportunities, we at Charlotte High recognize the reason for our school's existence and have laid hold of some of the rewards of good scholarship. 1
