SUPERINTENDENT TONE OF VOICE Supt. E. B. Fleming It is not so much what you say, As the manner in which you say it; It is not so much the language you use. As the tones in which you convey it. “Come here!” I sharply said, And the baby cowered and wept; “Come here!” I cooed and he looked and smiled, And straight to my lap he crept. The words may be mild and fair, And the tones may pierce like a dart; The words may be softe as the summer air, And the tones may break the heart. For words but come from the mind. And grow by study and art; But the tones leap forth from the inner self. And reveal the state of the heart. Whether you know it or not— Whether you mean or care. Gentleness, kindness, love and hate, Envy and anger are there. Then would you quarrels avoid. And in peace and love rejoice. Keep anger not only out of your words. But keep it out of your voice. —Sarah Edwards Ilenshaw PRINCIPAL f Prin. Mrs. John W. Smith TO TEACHERS Some carve in the white gleaming marb’e The things that in fancy they see; Some fix them with canvas and color, And bring them to you and to me. Some guide with “thou shalt and “thou shalt not. Some seek to inspire with a song; You build with a subtle material— The traits that shall make the race strong. When the statues have weathered and fallen, When the paint on the canvas is dead; When the precepts of priests are forgotten, And the songs and their singer are sped, You shall live in the lives you have moulded. And led with the courage of ten. The Great Master Workman be with you! I hail you. ye makers of men! —James C. Harwood

STUDENT SELF GOVERNMENT DEPT. All good government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. -George Washington. The best government is the one that teaches us to govern ourselves. Realizing that just Rules and Regulations are no restraint upon the FREE- DOM of the good, the students of Ector High School organized a Student Counc.l to govern themselves. The student body nominated and elected the members of the Student Coun- cil. Being its first year of existence, the Council had to crawl before it could walk. It weathered a “Stormy Year” of experience but came through in flying colors, hold- ing the highest respect of all the students and teachers who love good government. To be a member of the Student Council was rated by the student as one of the highest honors in the school. AIM: That the guilty be punished. Equal rights to all. $i ecinl priviledges to none.
