Board of Education HIS splendid school system of Lalee City is due in a large measure to the eflorts ol' the Board of Education. Under its direction the city schools have developed so that now the local schools are second to none. During the past year the Board did mueh to get the parents into a closer relationship with the city schools. The reception given by the Board for the parents and the teachers was a big step along this line. This co-operative spirit has brought the parents to realize what the schools are doing. Ilvery parent should be interested in the way his children are educatedg the best way to show this is to ClJ-UIJCHLTCYXYIICIWCYCI' the opportunity presents itsell' fwith the Board ol, Education and the Iiaeulty ol' the schools. . IVhen the parents and the schools work together the result can be nothing but success.

Xagfy- :-1' THE TIGER, 1917 0 ll ' 15 illllil lim A Il' you mix more work than play, So in parting we advise you Get your work from day to day. Then not pondering weak and weary For exams you now hold dreary You can answer bright and cheery XVe'll be flunking UNever-more. III Juniors, Freshmen and Seniors one day Sailed into the assembly room, Some earnest, some nervy, some very gay, Into the sea of doom. VVhere are you going and what do you wish? Mr. Wichman asked the three. We have come to hsh for the knowledge fish That lives in the dreadful sea, Brains of green and gray have we, Said these strange Fishermen three. A quiet little smile, smiled he at them And to their classes they passed But returned rather meek, not daring to speak, For they had found their knowledge not vast. Mr. Wicliinan laughed, but steered their craft As they sailed thru the stormy sea. But they had to fish right, He kept them in sight, And said, You must good Fishermen be. The little zeros were the herring fish That lived in the beautiful sea. Now cast your nets wherever you wish, Never afeared are we! So cried the teachers to the Fishermen three. Education AVING spent four years of study in this high school, we are now in a position to give some valuable QD advice to the undergrads. Some people seem to consider that the years devoted to high school study are not profitable. But we do not think that such is the case, and feel confident that our sojourn in this school will never be an object of regret. VVhen we look over the successes and failures of life, we hnd that the high places in the world are reserved for the trained men. Chances for success in meet- ing the problems that confront the world are in favor of the high school graduate as against the grade school graduate. It has been estimated that every day spent in high school study is worth nine dollars. Can a person afford to lose nine dollars a day in this age of high prices? The answer shows the value of a high school education. So we say unto the undergrad, Keep working. Stick to your job. Re- member the race of the modern age is not to the swiftest, but to the keenest, the most far-sighted, and the most eflicient. 8
