Sheila Columb '55 WHAT .HI, 'H7 'E . GOOD CITIZEN? What is the meaning of citizenship? Fow people really know. Tho real meaning of citizenship has been crippled and changed to fit personal uses and selfish moans. It has been said that the school is the most complete form of democracy.

It docs no girl much good to start being extra good during the last year. That is purely selfish, and citizenship cannot be selfish.
