 C. 1j. h. s. echo 1 A HISTORY. A due regard for what constitutes the moving spirit in all history— man’s environment, his instinctive or imparted impulses, and the direct stimulation or depression that comes from his activities or tihe suppression cf them, these essential factors that make for growth—justifies the choice in this abridgment of printer’s space, of an informal recognition yet a statement of assurance that these elements have not only existed, but have fulfilled their functions in a true living toward an advancement in this the Clear Lake School, rather than in a compilation of an extended chronicle of events, some of which have in the past, been indicative of creditable purposes preceding excellent results from the early days of ungraded work to methods of the present. Among the associations of teachers and pupils in the daily grind that has turned throughout the years, there has flowed rapidly at times, sluggishiv now and then a stream of purpose that in its increase in volume and force, has developed the inspiration of teachers, the earnestness of pupils, the consciousness and, too, the conscientiousness of patrons and the approval of the inspection department, a character that has been utilized in a constructive process culminating in the present high school. Statistics may serve for the outer walls under which has been laid the foundation of original design, but the life within reflects not so much a record of events as it does the effect of any stimulating influence that has created an atmosphere in which may be breathed a true inspiration. Beginning at the tide when youth called for recognition, this school held its way with efficient teachers, in an ungraded system that satisfied the demand of the times, and found its justification in the going out into the greater school of life, of a large number of those who have been credited with high ambitions that have reached an altitude from which their influence has radiated in beneficent precept and example. For a period of about fourteen years, a definite graded order was observed that held a reputation with the State Department for doing as satisfactory work as that accomplished by anv school, and better than many. For twenty years, having given to pupils the advantage of the first two years of high school work, the credits for which have never been contested by any high school or state normal, there has been for the last past two years, a continuance of directed work including the junior and senior years, thus completing the full course for a state four year high school as was established two years ago. This school during the past twentv-five years, has had as its teachers some who have risen to heights of recognized worth in carrying on a specialized teaching in advanced work, while a measure of pride should be held concerning those of its graduates who have carried their merited aspirations to a demonstration of efficiency that should serve as an encouragement to the present and future membership, while on the loyalty of the graduates and the student body, depends much of its future success and credit to the community.
