EDITORIAL ' ,fifff ,' O the many friends and patrons of Eaton Rapids High School, it is O with pleasure we present our l922 Annual, The Criterion. The editors have endeavored to make this a source of pleasure as well as a memorandum of the happenings of the year. Long days and sleepless nights have been consumed in the effort that this publication might meet with the best of your approval. To all who have helped in its publication we extend our most sincere thanks. . Ss. L P. fl As our high school days grow fewer we more fully realize the truth con- tained in our motto: Out of School Life, lnto Life's School. We as a class leaving High School might be compared to the colt that has just been unhitched from the sulky only to be rehitched to the wagon, where there is a much heavier load to be carried. just as the colt has been guided by the reins we have been guided by the hands of our teachers. As the colt has had its days of froilc in the wide green meadows, we have had our days of fun during our school life. But now as we reach the cross roads, the reins are loosened and each will choose his separate road. As all colts are not of the same strength, some are raised for hard work and others only for riding horses. So it has been with us, each one has been studying for a different purpose. Some are going into stores, others offices, while some will be mechanics and others teachers. We realize that we must not sit back and wait: but grasp the opportunities that are now opening to us. Some think of graduation as a time when their troubles will be ended, but most of us realize that each must take our share of the burden. During our four years in High School we have been building the founda- tions of our character and all our success and happiness of future years will depend upon what we have gained during these four years, not so much in books but by the friends we have made. A As the Breaking Cart experience was necessary to the colt to fix him for the wagon, so School experience has been necessary in our training for l..ife's School. -NORMA WIDGER, '22 Page Ten
