H W 0 RD . . BQfOI'8 W9 Qglfl LUGGING through high school is a generally accepted procedure for modern youth. It may be well to stop and reflect. At intervals ask yourself, What am I gaining through my four years' career? That is, benefits besides the general curriculum. Spending less time on school work is not being advocated, but only devoting more hours to extra activities. ' This entire business of life is the same during your teens as in your sixties. You take out as much as you put in. By the same token, put forward additional effort to better your school. It will go towards improving yourself. This extra work and effort goes under the well known head of school spirit. Without this all important element no school can forge ahead. mRS. D. H. CELLH

WE HUIIDR Gaptain orentz! we ice all for film CQ VERYONES best friend is a fitting title for our dynamic assistant principal, Captain G. G. Lorentz. Disciplinary matters require an astounding degree of tact to carry the recalcitrant and mentor through the crisis with a friendly relationship. lt may be Cap's snappy brown eyes, his Winning smile, or most likely, his uncanny ability to take in a situation at a glance and discern the best course of action to follow, Which gives him our sincere admiration. Many times the question has arisen as to Why our assistant principal is called Cap , He Was a lieutenant in the air corps during the World War and Was, thereafter, presented a Cap- tain's commission in the reserve army. Morgan Park is extremely proud to claim Cap as her own since 1919. He acted as R. O. T. C. and physical education instructor until he fullilled the position he is now holding. His love and trust in the younger generation, and convic- tion that there is hope and salvation for every misdemeanant, has been demonstrated in his Work at Camp Roosevelt and as director at Camp Eagle Crest. For the thousand and one Ways in which Cap has helped each one of us through our four years of high school, We gladly offer him our tribute. e ow we Jealicate tins book I 'L 'V A lg J at '- 45 Y-5 H. .. 545' K' ' If ., ' ,Q lui? 1 A Ll fl Qld F Page5
