The Colonial 1933 TO THE SENIORS This year book or pictorial record of your high school days preserves for your recollections some pleasant and valuable experiences. You have participated in activities without being urged. A natural desire impelled you to do so. Man is a social animal. You made better students because of the participation. Students are like automobiles in that they go further and are more easily guided when they are not parked. School education is not all mastery of books. Knowledge is important, but the use of information and activities in developing character traits is more desirable. Habits, dispositions, attitudes and ideals may be caught in the class room but student activities provide a laboratory for their develop- ment. These values are difficult to grade or evaluate on your school records. In many ways they are intangible but you have them. It is our hope that when you take a look at this Colonial in years to come you will recollect the experiences you have had here and will be inspired to par- ticipate in adult activities on as high a plane.
