THE SKIRMISHER 11 Our High School As steadily as time itself, another Senior Class comes to the end of what might be called its first encounter with life ; to the end of a short distance, traveled with carefree heart and minds with little thought of what a life it was until possibly, twenty-one. Soon again another year will start, and again the wheel of time with relaton to our High School, will come to its starting point. Our High School might be successfully compared to a mina- ture world in itself, of which could be said in the words of Shakespeare, All the world ' s a stage and the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, one man in his time playing many parts. So it is with High School. We have our exits and our entrances playing our parts with eagerness. What is High School? Why is it that we learn to admire her? There seems to be a mysterious cloud surrounding it. We work, we play, we strive, we succeed and yet there is surrounding that four years in High School an indefinable feeling that it is ours and we all come to love and cherish it as a world in itself. It is our High School life that we remember a life time. It is the earnest work, and yet the jolly good times that puts into every one a rounded out, fully developed character. These are the things that bring joy. There are remebranees that we as students will cherish a lifetime and reflect upon as the greatest period of our life — and the happiest. Artists Another year has been completed and its records placed in the book of memories. Another class has gone forth from Hillsdale High School— and not unfitted. Here they have learned the things which will equip them for their journey upward. Besides learning their lessons from their books, they finished their first real step along the road of life — gained some knowledge in the formation of great artists. This doesn ' t mean painters, sculptors, or musicians necessarily, for everyone can ' t be one of these, but everyone can be an artist of life. Hillsdale ' s fondest hope is that all her pupils may be artists of life. Through all these trials and joys he has been helped and encouraged in High School. The way of life isn ' t easy nor is it desired to be. A true artist of life is a man equipped and in full possession of himself, one who looks life courageously in the face. This is not true of one who searches for the easiest paths and follows pleasure ' s footsteps. Hillsdale High School does not shield her children from the storms but teaches them to meet their adversities face to face and conquer them. They are taught to accept their difficulties as a means of greater growth and find in them happiness. They are independent and know the rules of service. Hillsdale High School offers to everyone of her pupils a foundation upon which great artists build themselves. Years lie before you, Hillsdale, may you continue to furnish those ideals to youth that life may be known in its truest light.

L2 T1IK SKIKMISIIHH r Turner Cup The Turner Cup, as the name indicates, was left to Hillsdale High School in 1918 by R. A. Turner, former teacher and club worker, upon his resigning his position here, and accepting a more responsible one in the work he cared for most, and which gives him greater opportunity to prove his ability as a Boys and Girls Club leader. Beyond a doubt, the cup represents the kind of man the giver is, and one who wins it must have come up to the standard he set. Proficiency in one thing alone will not procure this desired cup ; nothing but efficiency in all High School activites, social, mental, physical, and spirit- ual, will entitle the one chosen by the faculty to have his name engraved upon it ; for this cup cannot be possessed by any one individual permanently ; nor upon his graduation may he take it with him, any more than one indvidual is able to deprive Hillsdale High School of the spirit which this cup represents. Bert Stoll was the first and only one to have his name placed upon this cup until this year, when it was awarded to Asher Schmitt. This decision ex- pressed the desire of every one, and we feel that it went fairly to the one most worthy and deserving.
