OUR PRINCIPAL . . He's gone beyond the line of duty To help us to progress, His kind and generous efforts Should guide us to success. Always willing to cooperate, Regardless of situation, Hes done his best to stress The importance of education. l-le greets us with a friendly smile . . , l-le's a man we like to know. May we, in turn, so heed his word As to make his endeavor worthwhile, CHARLES W. SPANGLE From the very beginning of man's struggle for knowledge, self respect, and the recognition of his inalienable rights, the school has been his greatest ally. It is democracy's greatest gift to civilization. Shall we keep our schools strong or shall we do just medium work? This question must be answered by the student body of our school.

MANCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL Costly apparatus and splendid cabinets have no magical power to make scholars. ln all circumstances, as a man is, under God, the master of his own fortune, so is he the maker of his own mind. The Creator has so cone stituted the human intellect that it can only grow by its own action, and by its own action and free will, it will certainly and necessarily grow. Every man must, therefore, educate himself. His book and teacher are but helps, the work is his. A' man is not educated until he has the ability to summon, in an emergency, all his mental powers in vigorous exercise to effect its proposed object. lt is not the man who has seen most, or read most, who can do this, such a one is in danger of being borne down, like a beast of burden, by an overloaded mass of other men's thoughts. Nor it is the man who can boast of native vigor and capacity. The greatest of all warriors in the siege of Troy had not the pre-eminence because nature had given strength and he carried the largest bow, but because self discipline had taught him how to bend it. V . . . Daniel Webster.
