1942 MIRROR 1 942 Senior As we reflect upon our years at Columbia, we realize that for those opportunities of being able to de- velop in a normal atmosphere, of growing under the guidance of an able faculty, and of being able to participate in all sorts of activities which would help us to become well rounded adults, ready for the chal- lenges of democracy—for the free- dom to have these advantages, and the opportunities of an institution like Columbia, our nation is now en- gaged in a stem struggle. In Columbia, a typical American high school, we have had many en- riching experiences in our extra- curricular activities. We were in- formed in the beginning of this year of some of the imperfections in our school life. Our lack of social get- togethers was an acute problem in so vast a school as ours. Realizing this fact, we had a Senior dance which was extremely successful. We were reminded of another fault which existed in our School Council administration. There was little satisfactory contact between the homerooms and the central body. We strived for better homeroom re- presentation. This attempt culmin- ated in many fine suggestions from homerooms. The formation of the Spanish Club, the school dance, and the competent management of the defense stamp sale were notable out- growths of our work This was the first year for the school activities ticket program to go LSIory in effect. It was a tremendous suc- cess and broadened the opportun- ities for student participation in extra- curricular activities. Our histrionic attempts have given us a great deal of enjoyment and profit. Present Arms was a gay ex- travaganza in which most of the class took part. In contrast to the frolics of the junior year, our senior play was a serious endeavor to offer the finest we could in dramatic talents. We did that extremely fine and absorbing modern play, High Tor. Our athletic prowess was not up to former years. Our football team lost most of its games; however, from these very losses we were invited to realize that there is much more to a football game than victory; there is also the keenness of contest, and the joy of school spiritand enthusiasm. This year is a chaotic one. Already in school air raid drills we have had the opportunity to manifest our abil- ity to cope with arising problems by responding intelligently to the re- quirements. We know that we shall face many problems. We hope that we may carry on that tradition of adaptability that we have gained in this school. In whatever we do to preserve our American heritage, we shall never forget the years of fun and growing up we have had in Columbia under the astute and friendly guidance of Mr. Threlkeld and the faculty. Education is the best defense of democracy
