N zneteen :The 19:52 fvxsgiei-all young people on their first job is getting adjusted to their position or as some might say, getting along with the boss. If the young man or woman does not get adjusted and keeps changing jobs they can easily form a habit of this and develop an irresponsible roving attitude. It is necessary that these young people should have the proper and best of training before starting out to begin their life work. If they do not have this proper training they are likely to be quickly displaced and many lives will be colored by a sense of failure. -Ass1sTANT EDITOR F. R. farewell To MRS. LESTER I. ORDIWAY We all wish Mrs. Ordiway happiness in her new position, that of a married woman. A forei n language teacher of her ability will be hard to find. The school will allso miss her work in dramatics. So again we shall say, Happi- ness and the very, very best of luck! To MR. LESTER D. KELLEY The loss of Mr. Kelley's ever-cheerful grin will tend to make the school less bright next year. We all wish him great success in his new position at Rixford, and we hope he will be as popular among his new pupils as he was here. ff, ,v ,AA ,, 1.

In this wide circle we may choose a few that will always be nearest our heart and to whom we may open our soul when in trouble. The most important thing to remember when making friends is the Gold- en Rulef' If you forget it, your friends will soon forget you, because it is the solid foundation of all true friendship. --Eoiron-IN-CHIEF E. Q. The Vmllwme of u High Sclhooll Education In looking back on our school days we should have some achievements, at least some particular accomplishment to look upon with pride. While we are still in High School we should have some objective in mind and be preparing ourselves for it. This age is one of efficiency and in order to be a success one must be prepared. The time to begin is in high school, but before we start preparing we should consider our abilities and select for our life's job that in which we are the best. Some are destined to be lawyers, some doctors, engineers, school teach- ers, while others prefer the wide fields of science and literature. No matter what our ambition is, in order to be a success we must carefully plan and prepare ourselves for it. No country has made more provisions for fostering education than ours and it is our duty, and should be our ambition, to profit by the advantages provided for us. Any modern business requires a trained and developed mind and there is no place for a person lacking these essentials. A High School Education is our foundation and it is there where we should select and begin laying the foundation for our life's work. -ASSISTANT EDITOR M. C. Education The average boy and girl in this country is receiving two more years of schooling than they did in 1914. More young people are now having the opportunity to receive better education but there are still too many who are cheated from this great oppor- tunity. Last year's records showed a large number of students ranging from 14 to 15 years of age, left school to go to work. Most people will agree that this is too young. Each year thousands of boys and girls go to work for the first time. This year there are not so many jobs as usual. Young people eager to begin their careers face great discouragements in a period of unemployment. But employment has its problems also. One of the greatest difficulties of these ,f .ff 3' .

V'-I-3 Cl P r.':..-'I :the IF-932 magician Juniors We opened our Iunior year with a bang on Monday morning, August 31, 1931. For some reason or other everyone of the Iuniors seemed exceed- ingly anxious to get back into the school building. Not because they wanted to begin the work part of school right off the bat, oh no, but for many and varied reasons other than that. Red Larson was seen roaming around the school building as early as seven o'clock on that exciting Monday morning. Of course, it is not known just why he came so early, but some opinions are that he wanted to get a good seat in the Iunior room, and that he wished to be present to welcome our new principal, Mr. Fish, and new English teacher, Miss Thelma Gilkey. Per- haps he was there to greet the Frosh and make them feel at home, especially a certain little girl of that bewildered looking group. Everyone was glad to see his or her friends and didn't delay in becom- ing acquainted with the new ones. For the first couple of days the classes were conflicting due to several changes in the schedule, but before many days had elapsed we had settled down to the old routine of books and more books. Our first class meeting was held during the latter part of September for the chief purpose of electing class officers. , 1 ..fU,3x 1'1 ff .- 1 'iT?l ' 95955-- Qffff fffixl- V 4 x Q . ,ir , ' 1 5 K Twenty
