EDITORIAL Hillsdule is like a moving train which, as Webster says, 'lis a series of parts working together. Just as the engineer keeps the train traveling ahead on the two steel rails at high speed,Miss Fessenden keeps her Hillsdule girls steaming post the milestones of school life into college. This year, there have been several iors and iolts along the track. Our engineer had to run the school from u'side-station, Holmes Hospital, and our History conductor had to be replaced during the first semester on the Ancient, Modern, and US. routes. Whenever we have hit a bumpy stretch, Student Council has smoothed out our problems iust us train detectives solve a case on the railroad. Often when we have veered off the academic track or when we have lacked initiative, our faculty has directed us away from the by-ways of devilment in eight, nonchalcmce in nine, and boredom in ten, by supplying sparks of inspiration with exciting new ideas. Some trains are more powerful and have greater capacities than others. Just so, the Seniors, Hillsdale's l'Super Chiefs , regulate the scheduled runs, head the committees, set the standards, and try to maintain the high aspirations of the school, scholarship, honor, and good sportsmanship. The Athletic Association might well be called the switchmen for they direct us of? the academic route into healthy team competition which for some girls is the most thrilling venture of all Hillsdale tours. This year, t t Operetta, H.M.S., Pinofore , has been one of the most impc' :t trip: as the Hillsdale Glee Clubs glided smoothly through the c .ic and melodramatic fields of Gilbert and Sullivan under the clex direction of Mrs. Matchette, our fireman. Last, but not least, is the . tl erd workin' on the railroad portraying the classes, our pass! rs, as they travel along the scenic route.
