4 0 E. E. HANSELMAN. VICE-PRINCIPAL During the past twenty years. I have been interested in follow- ing the part played by the boys and girls of Garfield in the work of the school. Under the leadership of the principal and the Boys ' and Girls ' Advisors, the students have developed a program which plays a major role in school activities. Through the Boys ' and Girls ' Clubs, students have learned to think honestly and to judge fairly. They have been encouraged also to plan a part of their own work and to assume many of their own responsibilities. This has contrib- uted much, not only to the school, but also to the community as a whole. I feel that Garfield ' s program not only makes possible character development, but also tends to correlate the various departments of the school.

TODAY . . . a greatly increased personnel has expanded far beyond the limited ho- rizon of its creators, for their faith and sincerity have inspired present- day Garfieldites in the perpetuation of high ideals.

i V T 3. N. PORTER. PRINCIPAL The Arrow of 1940 is the twentieth volume of Garfield his- tory. A comparison of the first volume with the twentieth is inter- esting. Crude. someone would say. looking at that first volume. Judged by certain standards, the evaluation is true. But I see in that first volume the spirit that makes the twentieth volume the beauti- ful book that it is. Those Freshmen of 1920 wanted to do things. They were proud of their school, and they recognized no obstacles too big to surmount: and there were many obstacles in the way of producing that first volume. Each succeeding generation of students has attacked its problems with this same spirit of courage. I salute the staff and advisor in this crowning effort — the great volume of 1940.
