CLmerican s Creed I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a Sovereign Nation of many Sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of Freedom, Equality, Justice, and Humanity for which American Patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its Laws, to respect its Flag, and to defend it against all enemies. —William Tyler Page. 4 Success He has achieved success who has lived long, laughed often, and loved much: who has gained the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty nor failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration and memory a benediction. —Mrs. Stanley.

Education is a process from the time one enters school as “raw material” until he comes out, a finished product. It is a melting, mixing, refining, shaping and moulding process until at last he is ready for a useful life. Each must go through the big “Factory of Schools” and the “Machinery of Books.” When the child enters school as “raw material,” we must subject him to a melting process, by teaching him the fundamentals of education. The mixing process takes place in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Here the child must be mixed with the elements that make a good student. Writing and Arithmetic and a few thoughts in History, Geography, Grammar and Agriculture tend to make a good firm backing for a future useful life. The refining process comes in the Seventh Grade, where the things which will not be useful must be eliminated and the essentials retained. Now comes the most particular process, where the child is either shaped into a useful production for the “World Market of Life” or becomes an inferior article. If the Eighth Grade is passed then a High School training is generally the result. After the strenuous measures are taken to finish Grammar Grade he must enter upon a High School career. Here he must mould his ideas for his life’s work. If in moulding lie is made strong enough to finish the Ninth process, we may feel sure that the High School will be finished. The Tenth Part is the Finishing Process for the Dunkerton Schools and, the getting ready to enter another factory which gives the highest process. Our aim is to make our Finished Products acceptable in the larger factories. —Editor-i n-C h ief.

H. S. Our number was soon diminished to twelve by two of our members, Lillian and Frances Olsen, leaving for Waterloo. The first few weeks flew by swiftly until the school was closed on account of the “flu.” After reopening, we have been forced to work much harder for the loss of those weeks. Members of our class took a leading part in the community play. Although we all heartily agree that this year has been enjoyable as well as beneficial, we hope that in the future years we may enjoy each year as much. Class organization was as follows: Margaret Wheeler, President; Oscar Guyer, Vice President; Rubye Owen, Secretary; Eva Xes-field, Treasurer. Class colors—Cherry and White. Class motto—“Who Does Not Advance Falls Behind.” 4 Did the Sophs hare a May Breakfast? When? Where? Don’t you wish you had been there?
