Tibi Seris, Tibi Metis In the Reveille Annual for 1922, an article was written about the Cum Laude Society. It metnioned the names of all students in the four classes, who, on account of their scholastic Work, would be eligible for this organization. In this issue of the Annual, it was decided to entitle the article Tibi Seris, Tibi Metis, because of its special significance to scholastic standing. .YX GIY . ff ' hafta s I .O W The quotaton Tibi Seris, Tibi Metis is taken from the Latin and means, You sow for yourself, you reap for yourself. It appears on the Newark High School seal, a cut of which is here printed. This quotation is well illustrated by the following list of names: Total Number 90 or First Class-QAll in 905 of Grades Above 85-89 80-84 James Settles ............ ..... 2 8 28 0 0 Elizabeth Scott ,....... .......... . . 28 28 0 0 Inez Hooper .......,,...................... 28 28 0 0 Second Class-fNone below 855 Dorothy Davis ......,.,........,......... .. 30 29 1 0 Marian Spencer ..... 28 27 1 0 Grace Martin ...... 28 25 3 0 Harold Hughes .,..,.......,,,... .. 28 A 24 4 0 Catherine Browne ,........ ,.i. .. 29 23 6 0 Third Class-fN0ne below 801 Carol Amos ...........,,..,.,..........,...........,,,,.i,... .... 2 8 23 4 1 Roy Hohl, Macille Miller, Bernice Noise, just fail to make this list as they have eighteen grades above 90. David Helm, had he attended Newark High School all four years would doubtless be on this list, as he had twenty-four grades in 90, three grades from 85 to 89 out of twenty-seven grades, but he came from North High School, Columbus, and this list is made up from those pupils who have done all their work here. The following people have an average of 90 or above for the four years in High School: James Settles, Elizabeth Scott, Inez Hooper, Marian Spencer, Catherine Browne, Dorothy Davis, Grace Martin, Harold Hughes, Carol Amos, Alton Schmutzler, Louise Ralston, Donald Imhoff, Esther Rogers and Macille Miller. Without doubt, Bernice Noise will have an average above 90 by the end of the last semester, because her average at present is 89.9. PAGE 18

Mr. Johnston 1 ROBABLY no teacher in Newark High School is more popular Mr. Reed S. Johnston. Although Mr. Johnston has been in this school for only four years he has had much experience in teachingl He was superintendent of the Summit Station school for only four years he has already had much experience at teaching. He was superintendent of the Summit Station School for nearly nine years, and just previous to his coming here he held the same position at Hazelwood School. Among the subjects which Mr. Johnston has taught are Geometry, - N' X Physics, Algebra and Arithmetic. Mr. Johnston is a graduate xg ,ff Y X 5 of Ohio University at Athens, Ohio. 'fit L In spite of the short time that he has been among us, he if has already honored the school by his name and his efforts. il Those who have been in Mr, .Tohnston's classes cannot help but be impressed by his systematic methods, his interest in his work, and the fact that no matter how busy he may be he can always find time for individual help. Mr. Johnston's session room seems to profit by his example, having held the school savings banner for a great part of the last two years. I However, in addition to his other duties Mr. Johnston has found time, or rather, literally taken time from his sleeping hours during the last three years to render a great service to the school and to bring honor to it that is inestimable. No one except those who have worked under Mr. Johnston as a debate coach can fully realize the responsibility which he assumed and the Work he has done. The debating prestige of Newark High School in the last three years has, under his supervision, risen to an almost infinite height. Outside the Triangular Debating League there have been sev- eral challenges come to Mr. Johnston to match his teams against some of the best High School teams in the State of Ohio. These challenges were not taken up, not be- cause of the fear of defeat, but because of the fear of over-working members of the teams. In summarizing Mr. Johnston's debate work thus far, one may say that he has won four victories and suffered two defeats which may be reconciled by the fact that last year all three affirmative teams lost, while this year all three negative teams lost. Due to Mr. Johnston's efforts Newark High is holding a good lead over Mt. Vernon and Zanesville. One fact remains, therefore. Newark High School has in its faculty a teacher who is as near ideal as can be found anywhere, and one who will always be remembered by his students, even to the day when they have grown gray in rendering their many diHerent services to mankind.

The number of Seniors is noteworthy, but from the ability that members of the class who are not on this list have, it should be much larger. There were a great many more Seniors who, up to their Junior year had all their grades above 90, but unfortunately they permitted their work to drop far below the standard necessary for a place on this list. The Junior Class can not have as good a record as the present Senior Class, as it has only eight members who are eligible for this list, while the Senior Class has twelve. With two additional members having twenty or more grades above 90, but having one 70. The Sophomore Class has a chance at making just as good a record as the Seniors as they have thirteen persons on their list. The Freshman Class has a remarkable number of pupils eligible for the list. There are nineteen names on their list. This gives them a chance to make a better record than any of the upper classes. While the girls are in the majority in these lists, the boys are fairly well repre- sented. The boys who are on it, especially in the upper classes, are all-round boys. It will be well for the'low'er classmen to observe this and not to get the idea that a boy who gets good grades is a sissy or a book worm because an all-round boy must be a good student as well as a good fellow. It is to be hoped that every pupil in Newark High School will closely observe the Newark High School seal, and constantly bear in mind the quotation, Tibi Seris, Tibi Metis. Also remember, good grades are not reaped from sowing wild oats, but from conscientious effort. PAGE 19
