5wsf 'ww'3'f H vinyl ji nv MAPLE LEAVES The four-year course offered in our high school makes it possible for each student, if he will take advantage of his opportunities, to acquire the knowledge and form the habits that will eventually place him in the ranks of educated, cultivated people. The student, however, must avail himself of the oppor- tunities that are provided. Half-hearted, listless effort is worse than useless. He must early, with the guidance of his teachers, realize what things are worth while, and he must also realize that the highest values are never secured without hard, unremit- ting work. Students who have achieved genuine success and who have derived the greatest benefits from their high school experience are always those who have given their utmost in co-operative and sincere effort. This principle carries over into life. While there are cases where individuals have later achieved distinction without doing much in their school days, investigations show that the chances for success for students with high scholarship are four hundred per cent greater than the chances of students without high scholarship. I would, in no uncertain terms, urge every student to strive for the highest degree of mastery in his subjects, to acquire as much pure knowledge from his classwork as he possibly can, and above all to cultivate thorough habits of reading and intellectual curiosity that will carry him continually onward. Only thus will come to him the deepest rewards and satisfac- tions life holds. E. E. Seubert Seven

MAPLE LEAVES Eight ADMINISTRATION Your studies constitute your business during the four years you are in high school. They are the main thing. They ought to have your best thought and best effort.

No matter how graceful an appearance you make at the Iunior or Senior dance, no matter how widely advertised you are as a hundred yard dasher or how beautifully you Warble in the Glee Club, if you do not carry your work in a creditable manner at the close of the semester, you are a failure in so far as high school is concerned. lt isn't enough to make the debating team or be elected class presi- dent or be known as the most popular student in school, it's the studies that count.
