Girls High School - Halcyon Yearbook (Atlanta, GA)

OUR THEME We, the Halcyon staff, selected the theme Sally and Sue prepare ' at Girls High for a bright, new horizon because we feel that this genera- tion will be the one which will determine the future. We feel that what- ever we achieve will be reflected in the next generation, and that it is our responsibility to provide for ourselves and our posterity a better world. Naturally we know that whatever we accomplish in the future will be a direct outgrowth of our education and our habits of today. There- fore, we realize that, as the main factor in our lives now, the influence of our school will be a determining factor in the shaping of our tomor- rows. True to that age-old formula All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , we have combined here at Girls High enough of both work and play to make Sally and Sue and all their schoolmates alert and well- prepared girls so that they will be able to meet the problems of the future with the wisdom, humor, and common sense which only the proper training imparts. .. ir
