PREFACE THE theme of the Altchpe 1932 is ACTIVITY. By I this we mean the enjoyable participation in activi- ties that are not included in the regular curriculum. Working in our organizations gives us an opportunity to satisfy our inner desires and develop our natural tal- ents without the restraint of the average class room discipline. Ordinarily we are confined to readin ' , writ- in ' , and ' rithmetic, but extra curricular activities loosen the reins which hold in our abilities and give them free play to forge ahead. The self satisfaction of laboring voluntarily at a task that has been the result of per- sonal choice instead of assignment, is not easily sur- passed. The joy of realization of long cherished ideas and that of accomplishment gives us a feeling of power that will retain its force in later life. This power, this ability to act on our own initiative, is what gives us a good perspective and the confidence necessary to meet successfully difficulties of a practical nature when we are compelled to face them. Such an ability, although developed to a point of theoretical perfection in the classrooms, needs the background of extra-curricular activities to make it useful. In choosing an art scheme, apropos of our theme, we have chosen one that will reveal our nature in a more frivolous vein, the joyous and gay side of school life. The figures are rollicking and characteristic student poses drawn with a modern interpretation.
