SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN High Schools. Seeing the importance of sys¬ tem, we found it to be quite abundant there. Some of the individuals persisted in calling it “red tape”—a most silly phrase—but the officials scorned this epithet, saying that it was the “hot stuff,” or some such learned ex¬ pression. For a week or ten days we re¬ mained in this city, and while I studied the school systems, Professor Derdlim examined the business interests, including the cotton manufacturing plant located there that is the largest of its kind on Earth. We then left for other parts of the planet, using our cylin¬ der in covering long distances, such as cross¬ ing the Pacific Ocean, a little matter requir¬ ing some paltry ten minutes to accomplish. In this way we covered all important points on Earth, including Russia and Podunk, Indiana, and gained a comprehensive knowl¬ edge of the customs of the inhabitants. Returning to Greensboro about the last of May, we learned that the High School there was just on the eve of their Commencement. This is a more or less sad occasion that marks the graduation of the Senior Class of that year. Appropriate exercises are held in com¬ memoration of their completion of the high school course, and at one of these occasions, called Class Day, different members read papers prepared by themselves that deal with the several phases of the life of the class dur¬ ing its period in the school. Each year these articles, together with other records of the school year, are printed in a neat volume that they designate The REFLECTOR. Shortly after returning to Greensboro, I was visiting one night in the home of one of these members of the Senior Cl ass when I happened to notice one of these little books lying on the library table. In¬ quiring as to its nature, I soon ascertained what it was for, and being particular to per¬ use it carefully, I asked where I might pro¬ cure one for myself. I was directed to the Manager, and from him I easily obtained a copy. And it is this copy that I have brought back with me as a report on the high schools of the United States in particular. It is a representative book from a representative high school. In it you will find a record of the various school activities. These are grouped under different sections. Primarily, these sec¬ tions attempt to portray the life of the Sen¬ iors and members of the student body. The first section is devoted entirely to the graduating class. As the name of this An¬ nual suggests, it is simply a reflector of what their four years’ environment has been and has meant to them. In it are mirrored the happenings and impressions of this important period in the lives of the Earth men. You notice they have left an individual record of each member, giving a short account of his personal characteristics and his school ac¬ complishments, and, what is perhaps most in teresting to us Marsians, a photograph of himself. 9
