iihitnrialz .99 WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FROM HIGH SCHOOL? The question of whether or not your high school education in itself will pay depends for its answer not so much on what you have studied as upon how you have gone at it. Have you been interested in your work? Have you tried to get all out of the work you can or have you tried to get out of all the work you can? Have you, been intensely interested in' some subject? Have you a de- sire to get a better understanding of this subject in a college or univehity if pos- sible. but if this is impossible are you going to use every other opportunity to pursue the study of that in which you now have an interest? 'Have you learned to associate with and feel at ease -in the company of boys and girls of your own age? Have you abundant good health due to the habits of proper living, and are the habits and the ignorance which are not conducive to happy healthy living re- pulsive to you? Have you outgrown the idea that 'an education offersian oppor- tunity for an easier of making a living and have you realized that an educa- tion means a greater work, a greater responsibility and a greater service? H.as your education .made you a better fellow among good fellows? Has it helped to make you kinder to all .living things, has it brought you a step nearer your Maker? If it has clone all of this or any of this it has paid? I E. MACHAN. J . NVe talk of school spirit and we realize that a school without this quality lacks vitality and effectiveness, What is it? It is intangible. We cannot see it. We cannot grasp it. But we can feel its iniluence. It gives a school an individ- uality. It makes it alive and gives the school influence in the community. While we camfot define this spirit we know it is due to' certain causes. First, there' must be co-operation between school and community and between faculty and students Co-operation means many times the giving up of onels own desires for the good of the whole. It depends upon unselhshness and self-control. This year the students have displayed this latter quality in thegovernment of the school. Without an 'organization the students have practically governed them- selves. Few rules have been made, no department grades have been kept. Yet we believe as far as deportmen-t is concerned our school will compare favorably with any in the country. 4 A proper attitude on the part of the student is another important cause. School is no longer at prison, but a place for development. The student's own desire to, excel must 'become the incentive to effort, and a task well done must become a real joy. The attitude toward work acquired in the school room will last long after dates and formulas are forgotten. But most of all is this spirit due to loyalty, loyalty to the school, to fellow students, to teachers, to one's best self. V ' I The Class of 1915 has not been without great influence in bringing about the school spirit which prevails here. They have beenileaders in all school ac- tivities. It 'is with regret from all that they leave our midst. ' We have great faith not only in what the future will bring to them, but also in what they will give to their associates and to the communities in-which they may live. HELEN MEREDITH. 1 l1..e Six
