1:11 L.JI.' I 'CDI-8 1.9.1.4 A 'uzatzon of Another Sort Chirp! Chirp! Chirp I and Birdie Young soliloquizes on the possible dan- gers of his falling from the nest and the marvelous feats of his older brothers who have accomplished the most diflicult task in the world-learning to fly. Soon he, too, will have accomplished that task, but, of course, the knowledge and strength with which to attain this end will not just drop from a clear sky, so Mother Bird takes great pains to teach Birdie Young first the primary then the elementary and advanced steps of that great art which even men-until recently-were not able to acquire, namely flying. Have you seen any Birdie Youngs at East High School? Surely, you must have, for all our students are nothing, more or less, than Birdie Youngs. Dear East High is the soft, cozy nest, and the entire faculty is combined into one loving creature-one of God's noblest creations-the Mother' Bird. Learning to fly, however, is not the lesson our Mother Bird holds in store for us, because East High is not a school of aviation. Here our chief, lessons consist of learn- ing to climb gradually. .lust as Birdie Young contemplates the height of his nest and the consequent danger of his falling, so the students of E. H. S. are contemplating the loads of responsibility they will soon be shouldering when they enter college or the business world. East High students may also marvel at the wondrous feats of their elder brothers, for large is the number of Lee Township grads who have made good. Sometimes Birdie Young thinks that Mother Bird is really giving him far too many lessons in the art of flying: how easy it seems to be able to fly, after all! Only one unsuccessful attempt proves to Birdie Young that he was mis- taken. In like manner, our overwisc students feel that our Mother Bird is just stuffing them full of all kinds of useless knowledge which can not possibly benefit anyone. Why waste so much time? Couldn't the course beeasily short- cned to three years? There is no need for all these unnecessary bits of polish. English in not such large doses, a little less of Math, and by all means a great cut 011 history would absolutely strengthen the wings of all the Birdie Youngs. Cunningly, Mother Bird smiles to herself and encouragingly adds, Fly away, foolish birdie. Fly away! and many of the braver Birdie Youngs, taking things entirely too much for granted, fly away, that is, attempt to fly away, but with little success. After long periods of struggle those birdies, not too proud, come back to Mother Bird beseeching her to begin all over again and teach them to fly the right way. To this Mother Bird, being a mother, kindly con- sentsg but alas! Those too proud to go back die with the knowledge that they were unable to take pride in the greatest accomplishment of featllerdom- flying. Boys and girls act much like the spoiled birdies. Believing that Life holds more in store for them without an education, many students leave school. Soon, however, they discover the mistake of a lifetime, and those quick to realize it go back to school all the better students from that brief, telling ex- perience. Not caring to acknowledge that undeniable fact, the rest continue in their little game of hide and seek with Dame Fortune, few ever reaching the piunacles-just as the birds-and none having the satisfaction derived from higher learning. It is queer that we are often rude and refuse to open the door when Op- portunity knocks. Hark! She may be knocking now! Page Nine
