giabforiagi j - Making school papers or having a class supper, we learn something about conducting affairs properly and efliciently. We also learn how to fight. For example, in the ball game if the opposition is a little ahead, do we say we're beaten and stop playing? No! VVe just play harderg and, so with the business life in the future. VVe must know how to play the game or, in other words, we must know how to fight. So you see, there's more than one reason for attending high school. Maud Curtis '57 ARE YOU GETTING THE MOST OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL Many people after graduating from high school have wished that they had taken advan- tage of more of the opportunities which high school had to offer. All too often they realize it after it is too late, but we who are in high school have still another chance if We act now. Let's take a look at what our high school has to ofler and how we can gain the most from these opportunities. Upon entering high school we must be sure to choose the right course and subjects. It would help if we had some idea of what our life's work might be, but few of us do know. To save us from complications later on it would be wise to take the college preparatory course if your faculty feel it is the right choice and you have college in mind. However, there are courses for those who do not wish to go to college. One of the most important lessons to be learned in life is how to get along with other people. High school gives you an opportunity to work and play with others. There are band and glee clubs if you are interested in music, basketball, football, hockey and softball if you like athleticsg dramas and prize speaking will give you experience which may be valuable in later life. Even helping at a class supper or on a paper drive is good experience and will help you to feel more a part of your class. If you can help your class at all towards earning money for a class trip, by all means do all you can. Such a trip can be very educational as well as enjoyable and is an opportunity you cannot afford to overlook. Always remember that you only get out of something what you put into it, so put a lot into high school and you never will have regrets. lane Goss '56 P SENIOR CLASS NEWS NVe, the senior class of ,55 started our last year on September 7th, The following class officers were elected: President ..................
