The Ideals of the Dothan High School A? My child, choose well the colors Which thou wo'uldlst use today In adding to the painting of thy life, And, ere thy brush shall trace a single line, Be sure that in thy soul there reigns supreme The image of that which thou dost long to heft A truly successful life must have forever before it goals which rep- resent the highest form of mental and moral attainment. These goals, luring us on, we call ideals. They are the stars in the night leading us from the crooked paths of the wicked into the broad highways of the righteous. A school is merely a collection of indivitluals-individuals being trained for life. To make its work of training ePfective. every school must have great ideals. We are glad that the Dothan High School has proper conception of the big things that should serve as guides to every individual life. Here in the D. H. S. we are taught to believe that right is superior to wrong. In the trifies of our daily routine. as well as in the important affairs we rise up in a body like a great wave of the sea to support the right and to crush the wrong. In all our dealings. we are encou taged to make straight- forwardness the dominant note. Perseverance is a well-known word to all of us. nFind a way or make one is the motto of the Senior class, and it may be said to express the sen- timent of the other classes. This ideal does not signify brute stubbornness in pushing through a base desire; it signifies dignilied support to the end of purposes that we know are right. We strive uneeasingly for cleanliness both of mind and body. A regular part of our work is the study of the highest class of periodicals, such as the Literary Digest and the Worlds Work. To show the benefit derived from this work. we have almost entirely discarded even casual perusal of the classes of vile reading matter which once held our attention. In our athletics. we are always Clean and fair. We do not employ dirty tactics. All of our 0p- ponets, regardless of their rivalry, have acceded us this virtue. SO much has Old Dothan Hi emphasized honesty that we feel we shall never forget that one of the ten commandmentslwhich reads: Thou shalt not steal? We feel that honesty is engraved in invisible characters on the very walls. desks. and Hoots of our school building. Cheating on tests. though little it may seem to the outside world. would be as great a crime in our little world as fraud at highway robbery there. Our school, we think, has encouraged us to believe in team work. We have regard for the other fellow. This is shown by the way one pupil will aid another. Brotherhood is our password, and a better one we could not have. These are some of the ideals of the Dothan High School. They are the stars of our hrmament. and. treading the roads which they point out. we, as students, will Finally arrive at that happiness in life which is the reward of right. II: ' - v-I; mm 4
