THE AEOLIAN It is perhaps very fitting that we should first of all comment on the name which we have selected for our year book. It is not original with us, but is the heritage which the Garrett high school received from the class of 1919. We have tried to fill these pages with the sort of material which might appeal to you as forcibly as the clear and beautiful tones which characterized the wonderful Aeolian harp of the days of old. Every class perhaps desires to be different from the preceding one, and in this respect the class of 1920 was like all others. We confess that we considered chang¬ ing the name of the yearly high school publication. But after careful examination we discovered that we could neither improve on the name, neither could we find one which expressed our hopes more suitably than that of the present volume. We have been content to carry on the name. May other classes be big enough to follow the example and identify the Aeolian permanently with the Garrett high school. OUR ORGANIZATIONS It is true that our first duty in school is to comprehend the serious nature of our work and the great responsibility which is incumbent upon every boy and girl who enjoys the benefits of American education. However, even then it is certain that our institutions would be incomplete were they to teach us how to learn without giving us an opportunity to practice some of our ability to learn. This latter fact explains the existence of the many activities in school and it justifies the prominence which such interests receive. In the Garrett high school during this past year activities such as those created by the Glee Clubs, the Orchestra, the Debating Club, class organizations, Dramatic Clubs, and the Athletic Association have aided materially many pupils in finding their proper place in life. When the above facts are considered, is it any wonder that we plead with everyone to boost the organizations and activities that tend to enhance the service which the high school stands ready to give to us all? THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ,There is but one society in the school which extends membership to every pupil. Because of the universality of its appeal we feel it necessary that a custom should be established whereby every person in the high school would feel the necessity of membership in the A. A. Our responsibility to this organization does not cease, however, with the mere payment of our dues. We should be interested in insisting that every able bodied person in school identify himself with one or more of our teams and make the new gymnasium serve not merely about one-third of our students, but rather benefit them all. Garrett high school occupies an enviable position because of the success of its athletic teams in times past. We now require a student body to take up the work and carry the Maroon and Blue to greater glories. Let us adopt as our slogan that, “We will be content with only the best.’’ We want the best teams, the best yell leaders, the best coaches, and the best spirit of any institution in the country. It is then that our athletics will make our school a leader in all that is best. THANKS It is impossible to state in adequate terms the appreciation which we feel toward the loyal and efficient staff of this Aeolian. They have worked untiringly, and praise without limit is due them. We cannot say more, but we hope that this volume will re-echo the generous applause which they so justly deserve. Page Six
