Education begins at the moment of birth and ceases only with death. lt may be said to consist of a continual introduction to and digestion of facts, theories, thoughts, and experiences of life. In its own small way therefore high school contributes to this great end. After eight years of elementary training, students enter Senior High School as freshmen. This step may be compared with the advancement from a small room to a larger one which proves new and interesting. Predominant among the features of this room are the several windows taking up almost the entire wall space, Composed of wooden frames, intersections and glass, these windows represent Education in the secondary school. The frames are the departments of study, namelyilfnglish, sciences, mathematics, social science, art, music, health, indus- trial arts, home economics, commercial subjects, and foreign languages. These subjects as the basis of the window help us look out upon the world with intelligent and searching minds. The leaded intersections serve to enhance the windows as well as to hold the glass in place. These are the sports- baseball, basketball, football, track, tennis, bowling, boxing, and wrestling-in which the students participate in order to develop strong, healthy bodies artd a spirit of cooperation. Added to the ordinary routine of school life, sports afford a means of play which is essential to everyone. Finally, the glass or activities are the joining points of the frames and lead. Musical, recreational, educational, and drama- tic clubs and organizations require knowledge of both subject matter and sports. The activities add their own benefits and so blend with the others that the result is a high school course, as nearly perfect as it can possibly be. Thus through the windows of this larger room, high school students may look out upon the world, learning as they do so. And when they become seniors, they step forth into this world to go on to college or to take up a vocation, but always to continue learning, already much benefited by their three-fold high school career.
