Despite warm weather ami usual post-vacation sighs ami yawns, interest was not a deficiency w jch the roll was called in September. With a vacation behind them and a full calendar ahead, teacljers and students assembled to organize classes, sports, clubs and other organizations. Outstanding events and new plans for the coming year were discussed with much anticipation. Election of class officers provided a general source of interest for every one. Although the Sophomores had heard much concerning Senior High, tiyey still had many things to learn and they plied upperclassmen with numerous questions. Without a doubt, interest fulfills a very definite necessity in the school life of all students. It is this characteristic which makes one agreeable in social life. Unless it lies among a student's outstanding qualities, his life becomes gloomy for indifference is dull, and interest is radiant.
