n Charles Adams showing Mr. Cheadle Merit Award Charles received from Calumet Ben Franklin Club for Excellence in Printing LET'S BE GOOD CITIZENS By Phedonia Jones Training in citizenship is an importantopurpose ot education. We need to learn to live with others in our community, our state, our country, and our school. To be a good citizen ot Englewood High or any other school, or ot a state or a community, one must, tirst ot all, obey certain basic laws. This is fundamental. The good citizen ot the school res- pects the school's rules ot conduct. He abides by them in the same spirit as a true sportsman abides by the rules ot a game. He pays heed to righttul authority wherever he meets it. Rules ot Our School The tollowing are some at the rules ot our school: ll.l Keep to the right when wallcing up and down the stairs and through the halls. l2.l Keep waste paper ott the tloor. l3.l Keep washrooms clean and respectable. l4.l Don't leave the school unless you have been dismissed or it is your lunch time. These are only a tew rules ot our school. Do we obey them? Do we respect them? Do we abide by them as we would by rules ot a game? Rendering Service A second duty ot a good school citizen is to render service. One ot the problems ot today is the retusal or unwillingness ot able and intelligent students to give ot their ability in the school where it is needed. The character ot the school depends upon the character ot the students. lt capable students are unwilling to serve the school, those who are incapable or seltish will manage the school's attairs. The results will be harmtul to all. Realizing his obligations to the school, the good student, as a citizen ot the school, is always ready to respond to the call ot the school's need. Love of the School lt is the student's duty as well as his privilege to love the school. The true student teels a deep attection tor his school. He cherishes its past, be- lieves in its ideals, has taith in its tuture. The true student shows his devotion by personal sacritice tor the weltare ot the school. He pertorms 'iaith- tully the ordinary hurndrums ot its everyday procedure. He appreciates the admirable qualities ot his school and does all he can to help overcome its detects. The good citizen ot the school is alert. He tamiliarizes himselt with its history. acquires an understanding ot all its departments, lceeps posted as to its day-by-day doings. . The good citizen ot the school is open-minded and tolerant. He gives heed to the viewpoints ot others. He welcomes new ideas. He has strong convictions, but changes his mind whenever he realizes he is wrong. Courage Needed The good citizen ot the school is courageous. He stands up tor what he believes is right. He op- poses iniustice wherever he tinds it. The good citizen ot the school is honest. He lceeps his word. He never misleads nor deceives others. He can be counted upon. He is trustworthy and de- pendable. The good citizen ot the school is cooperative. He is a comtortable companion. He gets along with people. He can give and take. He pulls well in harness, carries his share ot the load and al- ways does his part. He is excellent in team-worlc. To sum it all up. a good citizen ot Englewood Page 19
