THE EAGLE IN GENEVA HIGH SCHOOL Eagle Street, on which our school is located, with stately, spreading trees supplied the nucleus for the growth of the eagle as our symbol. Four years ago in The Geneva High School auditorium an over- whelming majority of the student body selected the Eagle for the symbol of our athletic teams, and changed the school colors from maroon and white to scarlet and gray. That marked the beginning of a new era in the life of Geneva High School. The same year a new class ring was adopted. The double-headed eagle shanked with purpose and courage further paralleled the Eagle - bol. This year, carrying out the same idea, the name of the year b o was changed from The Mirror to The Aquila which signifie t - entire species of Eagle. The school paper, an innovation of this r, was titled The Talon. Thus, step by step, has the Eagle attaine s, ition, acceptance, and renown in Geneva High School. As the o n ird learning to fiy, struggling fiercely at times, yet emergin tron l and wiser after each ordeal, our Eagle - . gaineo. its promi ce. Silho ed ag ' the sky, the graceful n..

Every f t on the field of com- bat, every st ent in the a . room, ever 1 , 6 ate in the game of life finds these virt necessar .a succes For centuri en have 1 - 1--5 e o he kindly aspect of this bird. In truth he a ing-a king o t - olden days whose praises the ancient bards nev r tired of singirfg. Broad-shouldered and com- pact yet powerfully mu and clea v r.Qauild, he is a peer of his royal race. Half-mythical as t seems . not the Eagle been glorified on the standards e sians,Q1e Romans, and from Caesar to Charlemagne? u wn i hose the Eagle as the symbol of a nation-a s l s I prosperity. In a world wh reigns supreme, far from the haunts of men, a large, ruggedly-constructed nest is perched on a craggy ledge. Time only can develop the insignificant ball of down in that nest into a mighty bird. Thus it has taken years in Geneva High School to broaden the name Eagles to mean not only the athletic teams and the organizations, but every individual. Time has created in the stu- dent a feeling that he is one of a great brood, striving in his own field and for himself, it is true, but still one of many working toward a common goal. Long years lay ahead. There are still higher peaks to surmount, still greater difficulties to overcome, and triumphs to achieve. The bird is very young but, as time passes, as the Eagle attains dignity and maturity, may we say, Long live the Eagle in Geneva High School. -FRANCES M. DORSEY.
