It is our will that we shall be In step with truth and loyalty; For, though we wander many ways, Ali paths lead out from high school days. So let us keep our standard clean And ever spotless, white and green, Each thread we wove with joy or tears, The symbol of four faithful years. The years will swiftly come and go, Our temples may be crowned with snow, But silent worth or public fame Shall be for nineteen-twenty’s name. ELIZABETH C. BAYNE, 720.

WHAT NEXT? Four years ago we entered this high school, a more-or-less irresponsible group of boys and girls. Within a short time we shall leave the scene of our labors for the past four years—more mature, more intelligent, more thought- ful. Naturally the thought comes to us, “What next? Shall I enter a col- lege or business school, or shall I go to work immediately?’ The answer is, “Go on!” Probably wages are now as high as they ever will be, and if we should secure positions, we would receive very good pay, but the question |is, aot “How much can I get?” but “If I take this position, where shall I'be ten years from now?” It’s the future that counts, not the present. If you can go to college or business school, by all means do so. If you can’t, work until you can, and then go ahead. “It’s never too late to learn.” Recently a woman seventy years old was graduated from one of our uni- versities. You have just given four years of your life for a high school education. Those four years were well spent; you will be repaid ten times for your trou- ble. But, “when you succeed at one thing it only proves that you are com- petent to go higher.” Every boy and girl who graduates from this school on the twenty-third of June can go higher, if he only will. Every boy and girl in the class of ’20 has or lacks the stamina to do things, and it’s up to each one of us to show what he can do. Let’s have the class of ’20 make a mark in the world! Let’s all go as far as we can before we dream of stopping. HENRY W. TILDEN, ’20. STAFF 1920-1921.
