JUST ONE WORD OF APPRECIATION And now we come to sing the praises of those whom the bards left unsung, liven in the yesteryear when I’lato and Aristotle wielded the good old fashioned ruler (or did they call it by another name then?) the writers, scrollers and recorders of the day hesitated to give these men the privilege of the front page while a special edition was out of the question. Much rather would these scribes get a scoop on some stale battle then in progress or clinch a good feature story on events at the gladiatorial combats. When we stop to consider that scandal was too popular and frequent to be of much general interest, and that there was a noteworthy dearth of theatres, while styles varied little, and murders were few and far between; we are led to wonder what these Hapgoods and Brisbanes were doing when Cato propounded his brilliant mathematical laws and gave to the ambitious high school student of 1924 the foundation of the interesting study some of us call Geometry and others call—well, we'll leave that out. Regardless of all this we'll forgive the ancients because of their sad mistake in not recognizing the law we have learned today—“that all progress hinges on education and concentration. Because they didn't encourage their teachers they are to be pitied rather than scorned. At that we can't take too much on ourselves for we haven’t done so terribly much to advance the teacher to a place of rightful recognition. Their part in the world's advancement is sadly overlooked. Time and again their talents go underestimated and unappreciated, and this is only negligence on our part. We believe teaching to be the noblest of all professions, the entertainer and the doctor coming in consecutive order. Without education we can neither understand nor appreciate the other two. It is to the teacher then we owe the highest respect. It is he or she we insult when we are duly unruly. And that is a good thing to remember. They measure their compensation not in dollars and cents, but in the satisfaction that comes with the spoken words of appreciation which many a college freshman back for the holidays is wont to utter. But wouldn’t a little every dav appreciation mean a great deal more? So here’s to the teachers, God bless them— The teachers of M. C. HIGH. May their compensation come from the students, Who'll remember them bye and bye. 9
