The students do not stand in awe of him. He is too human for that. They know that when he asks them to do something, he wants them to do it. And they know that when he says something must be done or must not be done, he means what he says, and they act accordingly. Before coming here. Mr. Putnam was the superintendent of the Colville schools for eight years. The Colville Examiner speaks of him in this manner: The last superin- tendent leaves for a bigger position and a greater responsibility. He leaves a record in Colville which proves him a master teacher, an executive, a leader. In morale, in finances, in scholastic standing, the Colville High School owes much to Superintendent Putnam. There is little that can be added to such a paragraph. It is our own thought of Mr. Putnam. Referring to activities Mr. Putnam said: This year the Ellensburg High School has greatly extended her activity program. The last period of the day has been set aside for activities, chiefly in order that all pupils may be benefited by them, especially those pupils from the consolidated districts. The purpose of this period has been to bring out both the individual and the mass efforts of the pupils. The results from the activities must needs justify this expenditure of time, energy, and funds. The theoretical values of activities should not be taken too much for granted. We are prone to be too enthusiastic about the new. It should as far as possible be the policy of this school to scrutinize and measure carefully the values of school activities. The idea of mastery, of concentration, of stick- to-itiveness, and achievement must be the challenge of the Ellensburg High School to the red-blooded Americans for whom it exists. The outgoing students and every student in the high school will scarcely forget the things Mr. Putman has done for their welfare. Mr. Putnam, the students and all your friends of old E. H. S. wish you the best of luck always! Mr. Morgan One rather wonders how to introduce Mr. Morgan. He is a pioneer of education in the West. He is an example of loyalty and strength that one would do well to follow. The students recognize him as their friend and helper and go to him for advice and judgment. They call him Pop. It is not a term of familiarity, but a term which indicates a true feeling for the man who has done so much for young people over a term of fifty years. SOME IMPRESSIONS By H. Morgan Evolution is a remarkably slow process so far as the race is concerned. We are probably justified in saying that the average citizen of the United States is not far removed from the average citizen of the ancient Roman Empire. Memory serves me rather faithfully over a period of sixty years. The thoughts, actions, and aspirations of young people sixty years ago were very similar to those of the present day after making allowances for the difference in environments. Thirteen years in the High School is but a short time to properly measure tendencies. It is salfe to say that the desi.res, the aims. and aspirations tihrteen years ago were very much as they are now. Some of the notidns are not so crude now as then. Some of us perhaps think more of our appearance than we do of Algebraic roots, or of the careers of the great men of the nation, or of the Constitution of the United States. Are we still struggling with that old idea as to what constitutes Class Spirit? We have not given up the desire to appear in old, multi-colored sox as a banter to some other class to remove them for us. Suppose we emerge somewhat dilapidated, minus socks and shirts? What of it? We have been through it. We have had experience. We still get excited over football, basketball, tennis, track, et cetera. We seem to be too full of the thought that the great object is winning. May our philosophy be somewhat tinged with the though, Win, fairly if you can, but win? Do we realize our duties to ourselves? Are we trying to perform them? Do we realize that life is real, or do we look upon it as a trival matter? Are we on the verge of recog- nizing the truth that the greatest contest that any one of us can enter is with ornes own self, the object of which is to surpass former efforts in the line of improvement? That is Mr. Morgan's gentle reproof. Can we not heed it? When we are old and gray, we will look back and think of and thank Pop for his drops of wisdom and fine philosophy given to thoughtless boys and girls. Mr. Morgan, may the remainder of your life be as happy as in the past and may you receive all the respect and good fortune which you so richly deserve and which the pupils of the Ellensburg High School wish you. 12
