HIE NEW CRESCENT I LIKE TO WATCH A SCHOOLHOUSE I like to watch a schoolhouse At the starting of a day, Gathering so patiently Young folk who come its way. It shows a gracious tolerance; It gathers all who go— The laggard and wide awake, The brilliant and the slow. It gives itself unselfishly To all who come to seek; A great deal to the brave and strong, A little to the weak. 1 like to watch a schoolhouse As its charges break away. And it calmly settles back to wait Until another day. —Al Umnus. PitHt' Two

THE NEW CKES KM SCHOOL-A STUDENT’S VIEW In all students' lives at one time or another, we think of school as a great joy; but we are apt to also add w'ith many rocks ahead.” Of course, we say this when we are on one of our off-days” and, therefore, should not be held responsible. We also have been heard to say, School is a great life, if you don't weaken.” What we should say is, School is a great life and keeps one from weakening.” For it truly does just this. It gives us physical as well as mental strength. In our gymnastics we develop our bodies, while in other courses we develop our minds. To us school is our business. It is up to us to make it a success. We are the materials of this business. We invest our mental qualities for its capital with the firm hope of reaping in big profits, namely knowledge and character. Looking at this from an economic point of view, we, the students, are the laborers of the school business, and it is up to us to grasp the fruits that can be derived from our labor. After we have gathered these fruits, we store them, with the view' of using them when the time calls. At the present time it seems hard for us to comprehend the real significance and benefits our school is giving us. Of course, we realize w-e are blest with these golden opportunities afforded us, and the one thing w'e can do is to make use of these chances, so as to be W'ell fitted for our life w'ork. We also realize w'e are the coming generation. In a few years it will be up to us, who are in high school at the present time, to carry on the work of the world. We know in the next few years the wwld will depend on us for its laws, inventions, and great men and women. High school prepares us for this work stretched out before us. It gives us the correct foundation upon w'hich to build. High school is an institution of a select group of students. This is known to be true because high school is purely elective. We may or we may not take this course. Those who do graduate from high school are those who have ambition and w'ho have ideals; w'ho intend to go out and do things; who intend to conquer the w'orld in their own particular line of work. We, as students, cannot begin to repay our school for all it gives us. But we can thank our Alma Mater and show our appreciation by really accomplishing what we set out to do. It is only fitting that we strive to do this. We can make our ideals, which she has instilled in us, come true, and we shall make our lives successful. With apologies to Lincoln we might misquote, All that we are or hope to be, we owe to E. H. S.” ■nOHHBI Page Four
