EDITOHML . . . What quality makes the English High School of Boston one of our country ' s finer schools? It is purposefulness. English High School has always been able to maintain a high standard because of the unceasing devotion of the teachers to their profession. And this purposeful policy of the faculty to continually improve the schools scholastic standing and to help the students develop their abilities and interests, more than anything else has helped to make the school one of the most highly regarded in the country. English High School gives students who possess diversified talents, a chance to display these talents by membership in one of its many clubs, teams, or organiza- tions. The teachers of the school give of their free time to these groups to advise the students and to help them to develop the qualities of leadership that will be invaluable to them in the years ahead. Frequent exhortations by the members of the faculty are responsible for the enthusiasm that most students have for their studies and for the high regard that all students have for the school. Following the example set by their instructors, many boys have taken on posi- tions of responsibility, and, copying the purposeful manner in which their teachers carry out their duties, they have helped their fellow students to become better citizens. It is no wonder, therefore, that the average English High School graduate is a better grade of young man, a more mature individual, and an outstanding leader in his community. Perhaps it would be to the advantage of some boys in the school if they would put a little more effort into their studies. Then, with everybody striving to do his best, the English High School of Boston would be not just one of our country ' s finer schools, but one of our country ' s finest. If the students in the school would start now to put all of their undertakings, the school will be well on its way to be number one. Inevitably, English High School will reach the stage where it can afford to be more selective. Only the best talent in Boston will be allowed to attend the school, and its superior standards will be admired all over the country. With Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors working together to carry our school to even greater heights, the day is in the very near future when principals throughout the country will look on the English High School of Boston as the school to emulate. Feeling that there is a pride associated with being a student at English , the faculty of the school is not satisfied with students who are merely a better grade of young men — they want students of the best grade. And if this remarkable purposeful policy of the faculty continues to influence the students in the way it has, it will not be long before the graduates of English High School will be the most fully prepared and the most ambitious young men on the college campuses of America.
