THE LEEDER Senior Class Creed W e, the Senior L'lass of 1 24, of lhe Leeds High School, believe in the dignity of labor. Courage is our aim; justice our ideal; and school spirit our guiding star. We believe it our duly to love and ol ey our school laws and to co-operate with the faculty and student council who are responsible for this system of order. The Senior class of 1 24 of Leeds High School believe in a universal education which discovers or reveals the proper function for each individual, and helps him towards it, so he may render to his social surroundings the service of which he is capable. We also l elieve in the practice of reasoning, self guidance, and self control rather than complete obedience. W e are each for a’l and all for each. Sara Xei.lk Cakrkkek. 24. Twenty-six
