UALATI-ICTIIAD fGo Forth to Serve An old English proverb says, The proof of the pudding lies in the tasting. This was fl quaint' way of saying, the proof of the worth of anything lies in the testing. ln the ease of the pudding, this was best done by tasting it, .ln tl1e world olf eonimereial things this testing has beeome important and exact- ing, beeause ol' the keen competition i11 every field of nierollandise. If it is a texture of any sort, it must meet the relluirements of durability and serviee. At the same time it must have beauty of design and be suitable for its intended use. It it is an automobile, its best test is its perforinanee on the highway. A tarni is best proved by the erops it eau produee. The test of a book. a composition of musie. or a play lies in its elteet upon its readers or its audience, and its length of lite depends upon that reaction. .lust so in a higher sense, the testing of a s1-bool lies in its alumni. Any easual visitor on seeing our beautiful building, meeting our faenlty and the large number of students might express the opinion. '4This is a good Slfll00l.H The real proof, however, lies in those who have Gone forth to serve. Back through the years we reeall many naines which have made the headlines and brought glory to our school. We applaud and give honor to our noted alunini seattered far. and to those near at home. NVQ may like to boast a little ol' knowing theni or of having been in the same class with them. A newspaper is not made entirely of headlines. They draw our attention. but no less credit goes to all those who, wherever they are, are proving them- selves durable as it were, giving a good performance on the highways of life. produm-ing evidence of good citizenship, and living long in the hearts of those about them. And so it shall eontinue through the future years as in the past. It is 21 paradox. The sehool makes the alumni, but the alumni make the sehool. Page Eleven
