ADMINISTRATION Wfe students of Iimpehi salute our teachers, to whom character is as important as teaching the three R's. The student teacher relations are unusual in their display of friendliness. The teachers excel at interpreting the lessons in their own field. lt is with their invaluable aid that the schools many extra-curricular activities are carried out, lor without their able assistance it would be dillicult for the student government to func- tion smoothly. As sponsors for our clubs and committees, they stimulate our interest outside the classroom. They often aid students in making choices as to their high school course ol' study or a suitable college. The work of the Placement ollice has been Page 8 invaluable in this war-time emergency. In addi- tion to its aid to the Seniors seeking positions after graduation, the placement counselor has placed many students in jobs, thereby directly or indirectly helping the war effort. Wfhen problems arise over his schoolwork, the student carries them to the adjustment otlice where the ditliculties are ironed out. The P.T.A. fosters closer relations between the parents and teachers. Through the workings of this organ- ization many improvements have been made on school equipment. Xllfith a faculty as interested in the student body as ours is, it is a small wonder we can adopt a slogan such as Tops in Everything XVe Undertake.

THE MEANING OF LIFE l. All of us are born with certain endowments which should be fully developed to the utmost limits. As the great artist gives himself unreservedly to the perfecting of his talents and abilities, so we, too, should approximate their unswerving devotion to those disciplines which lead to high attainment. 2. The four years of high school are most important for it is at this time that the basic patterns of life are being fashioned-either for success or failure. 3. We live in a co-operative society. Learning to work with our fellowmen in the spirit of harmony and good will is fundamental to human progress. 4. To be respected, we must be respectable. We can win favorable recognition only by our own true worth. 5. Man has been given the great responsibility of free choice. He can raise himself to a position only a little lower than the angels or debase himself to the level of the brute. What each one is to be is the most important decision any individual ever will be called upon to make. 6. One of the most important things we can gain from high school is an overall determination to follow the truth wherever it may lead. 7. Civilization has been built upon honesty, integrity, truth, justice, cooperation and brotherhood. Today, these great, constructive forces are locked in mortal combat with the forces of evil. The kind of future we shall have depends upon the final issue of this world-wide conflict. Will peace lead us to a brighter world of the Four Freedoms or shall we be plunged into a new Dark Age? The answer will be determined in large measure upon the qualities of heart and soul of the youth of today. True worth is in being, not seeming,- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good-not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth. ESTON V. TUBBS, Principal. Page 7
