SECTION ONE All of us are to be scholars in the school of life. One should think of education, not as an occupation for a few brief years but as the business of life. The influences which go to make up this training are the mind of the Past, Nature, and Action. By the mind of the Past I mean literature, history, and philosophy, sub- jects in school and college. But they are not unrelated units on which examinations are to be passed in order that the subjects may be for- gotten ; they are rather, the materials from which selection is to be made, according to the needs of the builder, for the world which is his conception of the meaning of life. — Ralph Waldo Emerson.

N M E M O R I A M In loving tribute to the memory of Albert Fergu- son Brawner, Jr., who passed away on November 26, 1939, as the result of injuries received on the Marietta High School gridiron. His courage, his sportsmanship, his valor that made him a sterling competitor on the football field typifies the very spirit of MHS, and will cause him to be remem- bered ever by the entire student body. ALBERT FERGUSON BRAWNER, J,
