Benefits (Arising from Issui Many times questions arise in the minds of the people as to the real value of different activities which seem to them to he entirely outside the real purpose for which the school is sup- |M»rted. The error of this idea will be considered here. The value of these activities would seem to some to be of necessity limited to those who engage in them: while the latter no doubt arc benefited to a great degree, there are l enefits which accrue to the school as a whole. Consider the high school year l ook. The publication of such a volume is beneficial for three reasons: First, for business experience the members of the board gain which they might not otherwise receive: secondly, its value as a remembrance—some- thing to look back to in after years: ami thirdly, it offers an opportunity which develops personality in the individuals. Many times young people are forced for any one of many reasons to forego the pursuit of education any further after they have completed a high school course and are thrown on their own resources without any business experience whatever. They arc necessarily handicapped. The training given them by the soliciting of advertising teaches what they would otherwise learn by hard knocks. Further, the class as a rule becomes scattered within a few years after graduation. It is indeed pleasant to be able after the laj sc of several years to pick up a volume and seem- cPjige bwtnly-fivt ng a High School Year Book ingly turn back the last few pages of one’s life and l»c again amid the scenes which were so enjoyed. Without the year lx o this would he exceedingly difficult if not impossible, for while one might remember a few scenes or a few faces, by far the majority would Ik lost forever. This work also serves to develop the personality of the cla's which otherwise would remain latent or unknown. Oftentimes some meml er is called upon to furnish material for the year I rook. It is his belief that he is not com|K tent to fulfill the tas!. set for him. trial or two shows that he is not only able to do it but do it well and sometimes he adopts writing as his life’s work. Again in the soliciting of advertising or other contracts in connection with a year book, the student is thrown in touch with a number of men actively engaged in business. Mis |K r- sonality makes an impression and he is tendered a position. l-ack of sj ace will not permit going into further detail, nor indeed do we think it necessary, if one could not l e convinced of the value of this activity by the arguments set forth. It gives business experience which is necessary to any sue cessful undertaking. It is an aid in remem! ermg friendships, and without friendships life is nothing but bare existence and lastly it offers an oj portunity for developing of personality which is one of the most essential things in a successful life.
