FACULTY If we work upon marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work upon men’s im- mortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles with the just fear of God and love of their fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity. —Daniel Webster.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE Students: One of the most important decisions you will make in life is the choice of a vocation. All of us should give serious thought to this problem. Records show that traits of character are more important in our vocation than skill in the vocation itself. In other words, very few office employees are dis- charged because they cannot do their work. Nearly all vocation failures are brought about by traits of character rather than lack of skill. Therefore it is important that we analyze ourselves and strive to excel in personality traits which will help us succeed in our vocation. I am listing here twelve which I consider very im- portant: 1. Personal appearance. 7. Cooperation 2. Manners 8. Courtesy 3. Knowledge 9. Honesty 4. Emotional control 10. Good English 5. Skill 11. Industry 6. Dependability 12. Loyalty We know that all these personality traits can be developed and learned by the same procedure that we learn anything else. V. A. ALTENBURG. Superintendent.
