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!
