Principalls Message HIS School Annual marks an epoch in our schools publications. It speaks for itself. It speaks of progress. It comes out about graduation time, emphasizing the Seniors, the students who entering in 1923 have persevered to the end. And now comes a bulletin from the United States Bureau of Education pointing out that W'ho's Vtfho in America, a record of great Americans, proves that high school graduates have 87 times the chance for outstanding success in modern life compared with those who fail to persevere. Eighty-seven times! Why is this? Professor Lee, of the University of California, addressing our student body pointed out that the chief function of the high school is to train students to think. Supt. Wfill C. Wlood said that high school students are trained to grapple with problems in tive steps, namely: flj understanding the problem to begin withg 125 getting facts about itg C35 analyzing theseg t-lj coming to a decision or making up one's mind about the problem and its solutiong and ISD bravely and clearly announcing that decision. Men and women trained in this way naturally become leaders that the world needs. Is this all? No, besides the clahlias, the orchids, and the camelias that we admire, we love the simple roses, the blue forget-me-nots and the blushing violets. VVe need the simple wholesome lives of those who add joy and sweetness to life, who work steadily for their school and their town, who, above all things, are dependable. To go down in history as l'Honest Abe or good old Reliable is to have earned a title transcending all degrees. Such lives we strive to develop in our schoolg indeed, such graduates in increasing numbers our high schools must give to the world. And in the world, how are we judged? First, by our ability to render some definite service. To mend some one's car, perhaps, to take some one's dictation in shorthand and type the product with speed and accuracy, to keep booksg to teach students, to grow crops. Some definite service we all must render. But second, the world asks what sort of people we are. liroad-minded, educated, good sports, public-spirited? Do we work well with others? Can we co-operate? Thus we get on. XVe make our record every day. People hear of us and recommend us. Suddenly an offer comes or a promotion, success and happiness. ln America, people of ability and culture go right to the top, for in America, people ask not who your father or your grandfather was, but what can you do? Wfhat sort of person are you? ln short, as Robert Quillcn says: The man who has nothing may enter the lists and go just as far as his native horsepower will take him. So like Ivanhoe the brave knight, or Sidney Carton, braver still, we must do our duty and do it now: and like Abraham Lincoln and NYoodrow XVilson, though sometimes discouraged, stick to the right and deserve the final word, XVell done!

XiVebster tells us it is the art of working jointly together or concurrently. Another great man has told us it is to so conduct ourselves that others can work with us. These men are both right but their delinitions are both incomplete, They have disregarded the fact that to co-operate, everybody must work on the same plan, at the same time, toward the same end. Cf course this is with the understanding that everybody is willing to co- operate. At times, there is a disagreement as to how the plan must be worked, and even what the result should be. This difference of opinion requires a com- promise from both sides, and the upholding of the compromise by all parties. Had the colonies not co-operated between 1775 and 1780, we might yet be English subjects or a unit of the British Empire. But, as Benjamin Franklin said, ln union there is strength. There were many differences to adjust, many conflicting interests to overlook and convert, and many ideals to be realized and established. The present government of the United States stands as a monument to that spirit of co-operation and compromise that inspired our Fathers of the Revolution to work for our freedom. The success of every institution depends upon the common interest. It means laying aside personal consideration in many cases. Our schools are one place where working for self means working for common good and achievement. The reputation of the school is established on the accomplishment of all the students. The most outstanding achievement of our school year, due to co-operation, is our great stride forward in the development of the Greciz and Gold. NYe may be prouder of this annual than of any other, excepting possibly the first. This year, the fifth of its existence, marks the hrst printed edition of our year book. Every contribution has been given freely and voluntarily by students who possess real school spirit of the kind that will not allow our school record to be inferior. The student body and the staff have co-operated in giving their best to the edition of a record on which we may look with pride, saying, This is our annual, the result of our labors. Looking ahead five years, we see another annual, not unlike the one of today, but yet more like an older brother. It is a book of a hundred to a hundred twenty-five pages, illustrated by well-chosen cuts, set off by novel designs, but still the result of true co-operation. In the same way, we see ahead a great, modern, beautiful, roomy school plant. NVe see it large enough to accommodate many. many students with all the modern equipment and fixtures. These are the tangible things. Behind these we feel, rather than see, the co-operation between students and the citizens of the com- munity that has made this monument possiblesthe result of the energy of a great many people, working on the same plan, at the same time, toward the same end. ,THE Enrroic. . in . .4 V 5 'f gg A?

Each member of the class has given his time, effort, and ability to place the class, and maintain it, through its four years in a prominent place in the activities of the school. As Freshmen in 192-l, the class gained distinction as being the largest Fresh- man Class in the history of the school. There were -lil students on the class roll. The organizing ability of the class was soon shown. A Freshman Club was organized by the boys with Francis Mctilinchey as president. The girls established the Amistad Club, which became one of the most prominent school organizations. ln September a theatre party was held, and in November a trip to Golden Gate Fark in San Francisco was arranged. Several parties were given during the year hy the girls for the boys and vice versa. The outstanding party of the year was the Freshman Return Party to the school. A play, Zlfodcs aim' llflIlllll'I'5, was presented. The class was well represented on the Honor Society, having six student members, and also in athletics, a good many of the boys being on teams, on which they remained throughout their entire four years of school. As Sophomores the class was equally well distinguished. The Sophomore girls under the direction of Miss Monahan presented a program on Armistice Day. The annual Christmas Party in charge of the class was a memorable event. A play entitled, llvflvv fflc Clzimcxv Rang, was given with the following students in the cast: Lilly Ferrario, Harold Ashby, Verne Brown, Leona Johnson, Lester Crag- holm, Leno Raboli, Edith Lynn, Ruth XVilson, Russell Crane, Casper Madsen. Lemuel Cragholm, Leo Callaghan, and Myrtle Seeband. A tree was arranged with gifts for the Seniors. The class also presented a play, T110 Cofifvrlzead, which was a great success. There were also three members of the class in the Senior Play. As -luniors, the class still maintained its prominent position in the school. Several pie sales were held that were great financial successes. Members of the class presented programs on Thanksgiving Day, Lincoln's Birthday, and XYash- ington's Birthday. There were nine Juniors in the Honor Society during this year. The class presented the lunior Prom on the 12th of February. This was the first dance to be given in the new gym. The ,lunior-Senior Banquet, in June, far surpassed those given in previous years. As Seniors the class finished an excellent record that will be difficult to surpass. ln the beginning of the year, the Freshman Reception was given by the class. Immediately after Christmas work was begun on the Senior Play. So This fx I.011al011, with the following students in the cast: Leo Callaghan, Evelyn Ander- son, Lilly Ferrario, Russell Crane, Bernadette Murray, Stanley McCoy, Lemuel Cragholm, Robert Fergusson, Rose Ferrario, and Verne Brown. The play was presented on April l at the California Theatre and was acknowledged to he a great success. The proceeds of the play are to he used for the Senior Ball on May 21. always quite a prominent event in school history. After the hall will coine Connnenceinent. and the end of school days for the Class of '27. But with such a record of activities and events as they will leave behind theni. they need have no fear that they will he forgotten. Senior Play, S0 This fs Lozzdozz ......

Reba Teeter The junior Class was well organized and set out to work to make everything they undertook a success. This year they bought class rings and pins. The Junior Prom, held February 26, was a success and was enjoyed by all. The Gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated in blue and gold, presented a very attractive appearance. The School Qrchestra furnished the music. The Juniors are now preparing for the Senior-Junior Banquet which will take place June 4. The juniors are also interested in athletics. The Junior boys were well represented on the school teams. The girls organized a basketball team and won the championship for interscholastic games. The class has selected, Play the Gamef' as their class motto. The junior Class is well represented in the Honor Society. At the present time the Juniors have deposited 3212. This amount is greater than that saved by all the other classes. lille are proud of our thrift. Sophomore Class of 92,7 The Sophomore Class this year as usual gave the Christmas party which was held on Friday evening, December IO. A pantomime was given hy the Sopliomores and there was singing hy the Girls' Chorus and also community singing. After the entertainment Santa Claus presented the Seniors with gifts. The remainder of the evening was spent in clfincing. The Sopliomores also took an active part in filling Recl Cross boxes to send to Guam and bringing gifts for the Wlhite Gift Christmas. The Sophomore Class has many members in the local honor society and three in the state honor society. The hoys in our class helperl the liaskethall teams very much, two boys played in the first team, and several in the second and thirfl teams. The girls also had a successful liasketliall team.

N ora Ferrario We the Freshman Class of 1926-l'727, entered the Livermore Union High School, August 16, 1926. There were 57 of us. Shortly after entering, we were welcomed into the high school spirit and life hy all the upper classmen who gave us a reception. Having received such a warm welcome, we soon took courage and held a class meeting at which we elected our class officers. In October the Freshman Class gave the upper classmen a Return Party. Having done this we felt that we were now a part of the school, and soon entered into all the different activities. The Freshmen are well represented on all the athletic teams. Miss Reith's English 1 class, composed mostly of Freshmen, formed a cluli which is called the Eutopia Clul1. The meetings are held regularly and in a business-like manner. The ineinhers all take a turn at being secretary and president. :Xt these meetings the nienihers are given topics of their own choice to speak on. This plan has worked out very well. Miss Kings General Science classes formed a club which is called the Science Club. The Freshmen have not only done well in athletics but also in their studies. They are a very promising class. So just keep your eye on the Class of 1930.

A rthur Burns N NOVEMBER -1, 1026, the Alumni Association started another year with new vigor and enthusiasm. lt was on this date that the Annual Roll Call and Alumni Dinner was held. At a meeting before the dinner, the officers were elected and the policy of the Alumni Association was shaped. Following the meeting was a dinner-dance, during which the Roll Call and a short program was held. The dinner-dance was a wonderful success, and the attendance was larger than at any preceding dinner-dance of the Association. The most important move made at this meeting was a decision to hold a social dance after every quarterly meeting. Special bulletins are to he mailed to every memluer announcing the meeting and dance, and any other matter of im- portance. The hrst meeting was held 'lanuary 29, 1027, followed hy a dance. There was a good attendance. The second meeting and dance, held on April 247, was even a greater success than the first. The Annual Alumni Ball, held on Saturday night, May 7, improved the reputation gained in former years. True to its policy of doing new things, the Alumni Association gave the Senior Class a dinner at Croce's Cafe on May 21, the night of the Senior Ball. The dinner served two purposes: liirst, to initiate the Seniors into the Alumni Associationg and secondly, to he a class reunion for the Alumni. The class with the largest percentage of its members present will have its class numbers on the Alumni pennant. Following the dinner. the memhers of the Senior Class and the Alumni Association went to the Senior Rall. The Alumni Scholarship lfund is creating a great deal of interest this year. The purpose of the Scholarship Fund is to aid a deserving student through college should he need the help. The fund is large enough to he hut into operation this yearg hut due to the fact that there are many different views on the way of awarding the fund, action will he deferred for another year. The Scholarship Fund was the main topic of the meeting of April 20, and it was not until then that the impossibility of awarding the fund this year was apparent. A special committee was appointed to study the matter. lts rules will he puhlished at the opening of school next August in order that the students may prepare themselves to apply or to compete for the fund. The Alumni Association is fully aware of the dilh- culties to he encountered, lioth in the Alumn Association itself and in the minds of outsiders interested in the fund. lt helieyes that, although the delay for another year will he felt hy many, the postponement will ultimately hring aliout greater success to the Scholarship Fund. These activities show that the Alumni Association of l.ivermore High is very much alive. lt is a hond of union for its memliers, and a liond lletween them and their old school. The Most Interesting lperson I Know HIC is small, has wonderful eyes of blue that look at you unllinchingly, dark brown curly hair that reminds you of silk and velvet, and a chubby ever-rosy face. lt was her face that won nie at first sight. VVhen she! was in deep thought, her eyes became sober, her face lost its tint, and even her hair took on a somber aspect. Wlhen joy was in her heart her eyes began to sparkle, her lips began to curve, the rose flowed back into her cheeks, and even her tresses seemed to smile back at me. Since the first time I saw her l have learned that every change of thought, every type of emotion is registered on her face. Although her hair is bobbed, she is not a tlapper. Indeed, she seems to take little interest in things that usually claim a girl's attention. She rarely goes to a party and when she does at least one of her parents accompany her. She does not dance so far as I know and she is no great talker. Birds and animals always interest her, however, and she also likes to ride. As I said before, she is not a Happerg and yet there are times when she actually delights in Hirting. Although I am modest by nature, I can truly say that she has tried to charm me with her smile on several occasions. I must con- fess, however, that I smiled in return. I am not her only victim for she has practiced her wiles on many others, but, I say it once more, she is NOT a Happer. This most interesting person has very few faults but perhaps I should men- tion them, nevertheless. Ifirst, I must confess she is inclined to be lazy. This is the fault of her parents, however. They think she is a perfect doll and conse- quently do not allow her to do work of any kind. She does not even wash the dishes! No, indeed not! X'Yhile her mother toils in the kitchen, she sits com- fortably in a chair or on the hed and plays with a doll or looks at a hook or listens to the radio. And sleep, my how she can sleep! She sleeps in the night timeg she sleeps in the daytiineg she sleeps anytime and anywhere she pleases. Second, she seems to have very poor table manners. Perhaps I am not the one to criticize her but, nevertheless, I thought lingers and hands had long ago passed out of use as implements for transporting food to the mouth. Not so she. I doubt if she could handle a fork or knife in a becoming manner. In fact, if she thinks it necessary, she will make direct contact between her mouth and the desired morsel. Lastly. she is quite conceited, This fact is fully demonstrated by the way she makes her parents step lively to obey her slightest wish Indeed, everyone seems to think she is a queen and they her subjects. Perhaps you have guessed the name of the person of whom I speak. If you have not, I shall say for your benefit that the subject of the above discourse is now spending her second year on this earth and has not yet a full set of teeth. Further- more, she cannot walk unless assisted by another. LLOYD Bemis '23, Dawn Iluylvrvule and flu' birds' clear roll Duylvrcule and zlzitys call llitzlee lIIUfl'17'11I my sleep.

His plane, which was a Curtiss scout plane, was his treasure. He had been Hying with it ever since he had been employed at the San Francisco air port. He spoke of it as if it were a person and he called it Betzy.,' Hey, Bob, called one of the mechanics who had been helping Bob prepare for the fiight. The Boss wants to see you, guess he'll say you can't make the run in this wind. Gee! the wind is blowing sure enough, but I've got to get through with that sack of mail. It contains money that was collected here in Frisco and it's being sent to Hood refugees in the Mississippi Valley. The quicker they get it the better. VVith this Bob jumped down from the wing of the plane where he had been tuning the engine and ran across the field to the office of the air-port superin- tendent. He was pufhng when he reached the door of the olhce as he had been bucking the strong north wind. XNell. Bob, I guess you'd better not try it tonight. There's no use taking a chance. NVait a minute, interrupted Bobg don't say I can't Hy tonight because I know I can. Those people need that sack of mail and they're not going to wait a day or two because some chicken-hearted air pilot in Frisco was afraid to make his part of the run on schedule. Now I don't know what else was said in that oiiice but I do know the super- intendent gave his consent and that Bob took the air in his plane at 7:30 that evening. The wind had made the 'ttake-off difficult and Bob was about twenty minutes in finally leaving the held. In spite of the wind that evening was clear and the beacon light at Livermore greeted Bob fifteen minutes after he left Frisco. Bob Hew over the Patterson Pass with great care. He kept accurate watch on the gauges and meters and kept his plane out of the treacherous air pockets as best he could. The wind was straining every wire, every bit of the fuselage and Bob once or twice wished he had not taken the chance. Then again he would think of the cause of his fiight and fear left him. Then like a flash of lightning out of a clear sky a sharp singing sound came to Bob's ears. He felt his plane give from under him. XYhat had happened? XYith a horrified glance over his left shoulder Bob saw that one of the main wing sup- ports had been conquered by the strong pulling and twisting of the wind. Then the plane seemed to give a last leap like a wild animal that was fighting for its life. But it was useless. Bob thought of his parachuteg he thought of the mailg and then he quickly grasped the sack and leaped from the plane, which was then about one thousand feet above a wooded district. All this had happened in less than a second and now Bob was swiftly being taken helter-skelter by the wind. Poor old Betzy was twisting and turning hurriedly toward the earth. Bob closed his eyes just before she hit the ground. His old companion had been conquered! Wlliat was to be his fate? Swiftly he was descending. He knew that the para- chute would drag him after he landed. Certainly the wind would keep it open and his chances would be slim. liyerything went hlack, he imagined he could hear the roar of old Betzy. Hey, you! Simmons get up there, it's time you were getting ready to hop oft! screamed a voice. Roh opened his eyes and to his surprise found he had been dreaming and was safe in his hed at the air port in San Francisco where he was employed in making special flights with mails between California cities. He lazily stretched himself and dressed, thinking all the while how thankful he was it was only a dream. RUSSELL CRANE '27.

It is never too early to hegin molding a positive personality and it can easily he done no matter how negative We may have heen. At first this statement may appear impossihle hut it is not. The only thing a person must do is to take Mr. Knox's advice and Uhegin to lim' these qualities and no matter how deep our posi- tive qualities have heen buried hy our negative ones they can he unearthed in time. One might compare this unearthing process to an old silver teakettle Whose shining heauty is hidden hy many years of dirt and dust. One day the teakettle was found and hy polishing it daily with good polish its hrilliance was once more restored. We too, can bring out our shining qualities hy the faithful use each day of the very excellent Positive Polish. THELMA FERRARIO 'ZS Music in the Sclliooll HIC Girls' Glee of this school was organized on February 2, 1927. Previous to this time Mrs. Simpson conducted a chorus on Tuesday and Friday. first and fourth periods study halls for those who cared to attend. The girls finally decided to organize a Glee Club to have regular meetings once a month. Thelma Ferrario was chosen president of the club and organized work was taken up. The girls meet the first Tuesday of each month in the Domestic Science room and lunch is served. This is followed by a business meeting and program. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in better music and to provide recreation for the girls. Much interest is being taken in music by the students of the high school besides the individual students who are taking lessons. The following are the music organizations: High School Orchestra. High School Dance Orchestra. Charles Keck's Orchestra. joe XVarner's Orchestra. Livermore Band at Night School. The Boys' Chorus. Girls' Glee Club. The people of Livermore may therefore be proud of the fact that most of the students in the high school are interested in music. 'fThe ll3'ioneer's lpapoosev' An operetta entitled The f7l0lll't'I'i.Y Pafoost' was presented at the grammar school auditorium, Friday evening, May 13, 1027. The production was coached by Miss King while Mrs. Simpson led the choruses and other members of the faculty aided with the dances, costumes, and so forth. Thirty students, taken from all the classes, were members of the cast. The plot of the story, written by Otis Harrington, was based upon the Gold Rush Days in California. A pioneer and his family while crossing the plains en route to the gold fields of California were raided by a hostile tribe of Indians. The pioneer and his daughter escaped but the mother was killed by the Indians and the young son was kidnapped. After sixteen years of searching, the pioneer and his daughter arrive in thc camp of Tomahauk and find the son. They later avenge the death of the mother and all ends happily. The principals of the cast were: Tomahawk, XVin. Mohrg Prince XVhiteface. Irvin Mitchellg Lay-em-out, Leo Callaghang Pioneer, Chas. Camencindg Light Foot, VVm. Mondotg NValtzie. Rosie Ferrariog Lillamush, Doris Grayg Moonface. Margaret Faustinag Starshine, Frances Mallyg Bowbright, Leah Mitchell.

J V an Q? ,g!.H.S Boysl Athletics XYICLL educated man is educated physically as well as mentally and in the progressive schools of today athletics play an important part. Ath- letics does not just mean the developing of a winning team but it does mean the participation of the majority of the student body in physical training. At Livermore Union High School this is especially true. XVG have a won- derful new gymnasium built under the direction of our able instructor, Stanley Gibson, where all may receive physical training. Early in the fall we started football practice. Wfe had little material with which to produce a winning team but nevertheless the players tried their hardest. The season was shortg only three games were played. Une was a 12-12 tie with Tracyg the other two were defeats by Pleasanton and Tracy. Rosie Ferrario, our capable yell leader throughout the football and basketball seasons, gave the teams confidence by the yells she led. Our basketball season is always our most successful. Verne Brown, our able captain, led his team to victory four times. The boys were faithful in practice and the result showed their efforts. Our best game was with Stockton High. Although the Stockton team had two players who played with the Amblers when they defeated the Cowboys in a P. A. A. game, Livermore defeated them 22-20. lVe lost one game to Fremont, 18-15, after having defeated them two weeks previous, 26-6. lfVe have no facilities for baseball as yet but are hoping a held will be pro- vided in the near future. Handball is a popular sport at high school and several of our boys have developed into good players. Leno Raboli and Harry Lefever were the cham- pions in our First handball tournament. The boys have built several good horseshoe courts and can now play the well known game called barn yard golf. The grown-ups had better look to their laurels for some of the boys are throwing a wicked shoe. The only game in which we have no champions is tennis and we are hoping to have one in the future.

This organization has for its motto 1 Serve, and for its purpose the closer union of men and nations. At the opening of the school year every class of the high school renewed its membership and its subscription to High School Scrifice, the junior Red Cross magazine published for high school students. At this time the grammar school and several district schools also renewed their memberships. 1n October, 1026, Livermore responded to a call for service by tilling 81 boxes with toys and small useful gifts for the children of Guam. Of this number the high school filled -lo, the grammar school 25, Summit 2, May 2, Townsend 2. and the Camp Fire Girls 3. Letters received from the teachers and children in Guam assured us that this type of service is a worthy one. During the Christmas season the -lunior Class dressed fifteen dolls and filled twelve Christmas stockings for the children at Del Valle. At the Christmas pro- gram the major room representatives presented a goodly number of white gifts to Miss Ada lessen, the community nurse. These gifts were later distributed among the poor families of our community. Early in the spring Mr. Lee received from .lunior headquarters in San Fran- cisco, ten boxes of Greek currants. These boxes were handed to the English 3 classes for distribution. Letters to accompany the currants were written by students of these classes and sent to the schools that had participated in the Guam box project. As much of the home service work of the ,lunior Red Cross is carried on through the major rooms, the representatives from these rooms are largely respon- sible for its success. The students this year who deserve special mention are Elvira Holm, Doris Gray, Genevieve Bronner, Rosie Ferrario, Roberta Armstrong. Ida Mae Spencer, and Nora Ferrario. In addition to the Guam boxes and white gifts mentioned above, these girls have supervised the writing of some forty letters to members of the student body and faculty, the sending of three bouquets, the Filling of Thanksgiving boxes, Christmas stockings, and the making of ten cross- word puzzle books. The Girls' League subscribed two dollars to the Mississippi Flood Fund. One of the most interesting and worth-while phases of junior Red Cross work is that of international correspondence. Under the supervision of Miss Reith the English 1 and 2 classes have sent portfolios to and received replies from schools in France, Norway. Latvia, Roumania and japan. Under the direction of Miss Anderson the English 2 and 3 classes have corresponded with Zurich, Switzerlandg Vinderen, Norwayg Ascot Vale, Australia: Sirane, 'lapang and Manila, Philippine lslands. These classes have prepared eight portfolios and have received six. 25 The Modern High School HE high school of twenty years ago was made almost entirely for the C4tllCgC-I3I'CpEl1'IltOI'y type of student. It was often called a prep school. Today it is more often called The Peoples College, for it is planned to help the boys and girls of all the people. Today the hrst question asked of the entering Freshmen is this: VVhat do you want to be? Most earnest students have formed some ambition by the time they enter high school. As soon as the student answers this important question, the high school teachers and the principal have reference books that tell them just what subjects to recommend. Here, for instance, is a typical paragraph from the Circular of Information of the University of California: Engineering: leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in one of the four Colleges of Engineering fMechanics, Mining, Chemistry, Civill. Required sub- jects: plane geometry, algebra Celementary and advancedl, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, mechanical drawing. Recommended subjects in addition: freehand drawing, solid geometry, and two years of a foreign language. The State Board of Education of California lays emphasis on Vocational Education. Every student should be working towards some definite aim or occupation. There are special textbooks on Vocational Education and Vocational Guidance. Wle use them. There is nothing more important for success and happiness than the right choice of one's life work. The high school makes genuine efforts to tit its students for occupations in which there is a demand and for which they may be fitted. Thus we have frequent calls for really capable students who are expert in both typewriting and stenography. There is always a demand for really first-class mechanics. Every community must have doctors and dentists, and these occupations require years of patient study and preparation. The great industries of agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, as well as the various lines of professional service invite the progressive high school boy and girl to apply himself and get ready to enter some path that leads to success and honor. In short, the high school trains students to live and be strong and activeg second, to make a living, and so be self-supporting, an asset not a drag on the communityg third, to live as an up-to-date intelligent citizen, and fourth, to live abundantly, with a genuine interest in art, music, literature, science, and philos- ophy, to have in fact what the late President VVheeler called so well the Abundant Life. Thus the modern high school as it tries to serve all, so deserves the support of all sections of the community. A town is rightly judged by its schools. Hnaminr LEE, M.
