Cfhe Spirit of Our School I, the spirit of the Cissna Parh Community High School, have wit- nessed many things during the past year. My material being was founded on March 11, 1925. My power to influence the life about me, and especially that of the youth about me started on its never-ending journey on Septem- ber 7, 1925. , For nine months I have been an inspiration to eighty-Jive boys and girls. Some it is true will forget me early, but to the great majority I shall be as a master architect, to mould into their lives the foundation for that temple which they have yet to erect, and not until life itself is passed, will my influence be spent. Hundreds of others who may not feel the immediate touch of my wand, will nevertheless be influenced indirectly by me. Education is a physical process. Its focal point is the reaction of mind upon mind. My aim is to help one generation to know, to use, and to improve its social heritage from the generation preceding. My traditions are largely what this class of 1926 have made them, and while I am yet but an infant, I have witnessed in my one year my proteges rank first in their county in many of the activities which I sponsor. Who is there to gainsay that as years pass on, I shall grow ever broader in my traditions and more powerful in my influences. Shall I not ere long stand the dominant influence to youth in this entire community? 'Though I am now but an infant, I shall never reach my maturity, for the spread of my influence shall be continuous. I shall never reach my climax to dwindle away and die, but shall ever expand and grow. Yea Verily I say unto you I am here to stay. IPAGE '21 f 1926

From the first day of their organization as a board to the present time, their one aim has been to give the children of this community, educational opportunities not inferior to those of surrounding schools. Every new need has been met with a spirit of fairness to everyone, and no doubt, as our school continues to grow, and new needs and courses continue to arise, the same fine spirit of better education will continue to prevail with our board. We are glad to have them all back again next year. 1926 IPAGE 81
