4 , M. F. H, S. PILOT The American Eagle With A Crippled Wing The American eagle, our country's national bird, has been depicted as jus- tice, honor, bravery, and many other virtues. But have you ever thought of him as representing education? Let us picture this valiant bird forced to remain at the bottom of the steep cliff, whose crest symbolizes culture and civilization, one wing is crippled by the lack of education, while the other is strengthened by the friends of America's youth. For today, in this time of depression and budgeting incomes, many people point to the little red schoolhouse of yesterday and claim that what was good enough for them is good enough today. Nor do they pause to realize that discoveries concerning govern- ment, machinery, and living conditions demand that education, too, progress :mt an equal rate. So let us unite against all these antiquated theories, and form a league which has as its watchword, The eagle must reach the top . Dorothy French, '34. Faithfulness in Little Things If I cannot be great, I can be faith- ful. This sentence suggests the great- est ideal for a human life. Faithfulness in little things, in every day problems. tells the story. In fact, it is the whole foundation for charac- ter building. If anyone has a big responsibility, he can hold himself to it while his ad- mirers urge him on. Qur athletic contests in school are a fine test of faithfulness. It is so exhilarating to give the best you have when the stands are crowded with loyal rooters who are shouting the school cheer till it rocks the rafters. But is this a fair test of faithfulness? True, the star of the game is a credit to the school, but consider substitutes who come to practice day after day and drill for hours without any hope of entering the struggle. These, with the more brilliant players, are the ones who exemplify faithfulness in the high- est degree. Not only is this example of faithful- ness in school noteworthy, but we find the same trait a great benefit in after life. Even in matters of national in- terest, the president must be faithfully supported by those who are perform- ing the less conspicuous tasks. Then let each one of us make relia- bility our aim and be able to sav to ourselves, I have fought a good fight: I have finished the course . Mattie Waldroii, '35. School Seal For the first time in the history of our school. we have chosen a seal to be used as a design for the cover of our school paper, The Pilot, and for any of the various forms of literature in the school. This seal comprises the book of knowledge which typifies the chief aim of the school. the development of knowledge which will broaden the lives of the students and make them a beneht both to themselves and those about them: also. the lamp of the Roman Vestal Virgins which signifies purity in character and ideals. The whole is summed up in the words Scientia est potentia or Wisdom is POWCTZ a phrase which might well be the subject of deep consideration by every student. H. Ridley. '33.
