F 5 I Y 1 I Y r U f The hope for the perpetuation of democracy for the future generations lies in the public school system. Intelligent, independent action and thought is possible only by enlightened peo- ple. It therefore becomes necessary for boys and girls of 'today to take advantage of all that schools have to offer if they are to bear the torch of democracy. I sincerely hope that youth sees the advan- tages of their opportunities and that they pre- pare well to avert the world disasters which face our present generation. -A We Q, C Pkvivkvkikrkiivk American tradition, democratic spirit and the ability to face an emergency of huge propor- tions has been demonstrated, not only by the boys on the war fronts and our parents on the home front, but also by our boys and girls on the school front. y Concentrating on school, which is our biggest business, has been no easy task when school work has had to compete with the war problem here in America, and with the anxiety and concern for our friends, relatives and parents who are facing the enemy in all parts of the world. My challenge to you and my hope for you, boys and girls of Junior High, is that you will continue to carry on on the same high plane that has been traditional in our school. fc?77QXA2kQlZj 9T?LQfZa

In most games like basketball, football and baseball, the score isa very interesting item, We have skilled score-keepers with stop-watches and switchboards to aid in keep- ing a more accurate score. The winner is de- termined by the score. I like to think of school as a game. We are anxious about our Score every six weeks. I can tell those who have good scores from those who do not by the expression on their faces. The good have faces beaming with joy and satisfaction. The bearer of a poor grade card is sad, and I have even seen tears in T their eyes becausertheir scores were lower than they expected or desired. Both of these groungJwillyQucceed, because they care about theirfscors, 5There arefa few who do not seem to'care.,'0 app-,: ' L ,VU A 'It is very.uninteresting to play games with those who do not try to play. I,am al- ways glad when the game is over. J, ,,.. ' Q :ltjis much like this in the game'oQ,Sphool Those who have struggled to make a good score are always interesting. They are always pres- ent and have zeal in their work. They make the gamela very profitable one. Those who 'do not care about the score are absent, tardy, rude, idle and out of order. It is a very unprofi- table and dull game to them. We pity them be- cause they will never enjoy the thrill that comes from doing their work well. A When we play a good.game,a lot of fine attitudes accompany the game, ,honesty, safe- playing, carefulness, thoughtfullness, cour- . tesy and fine sportsmanship. These are the things that count. It is to gain these that, we play the game of school., - y It seems to me that most of you have played a good game, and now that school is coming to a close, you have the thrill kof having made a good score. I trust that thinking backward over your school year will bring you joy, and it will if you have made a good score. I am confident that you will look forward with delight for another game of school, and you will--if you have made a good score. What score have you made? ' WHAT SCORE WILL YOU MAKE?
