Each member has learned in life's springtime . That if knowledge and wisdom and truth sublime Are rightly enthroned with good in the heart The world will see and never forget To doubly repay its debt. Each one shall start from the High School door E'ach one of the Class of Twenty-Four On the path of his own selected career I And these paths shall lead with sorrow and mirth To the very ends of the earth. But as days roll by and years speed on As liie grows old and our chums have gone As eyes grow dim and footsteps fail We'll remember each one as well as before Time touched the Class, of '24. Then if our paths meet nevermore Successful Class of '24 We wish you joy and much uccess And if there's more that life can do For you, we wish that too. , , X '

VVhen our ideal High School is built, the thought of eating at home or of bringing lunches will be entirely abandoned. There will be a large lunch room in the building, open not only at one period, but during the entire noon. Our future High School will offer not orchestra practice alone, but individual training as well. There will be expert teachers in piano, violin, voice and the other forms of music. Individuality will be encouraged not only along musical and mental lines, but also in dramatics and gymnasium work. There will doubtless be various dramatic clubs which compete for honors in plays which they produce under the direc- torship of artists. In our dream of the future High School, we imagine also large and adequate libraries within the school, where may be obtained extensive material on the most recent topics. But our dream is not complete without a 'daily school paper. The whole staff will be comprised of students. There will be social editors, fun columnists, reporters, edi- torial writers as well as photographers who go with the football teams and bring back the story of the game in pictures. The whole publication will be within the school. Here will be the big linotype machines, the presses and everything necessary for the publication of one of our city dailies. Perhaps it seems to some that, in our future High School, more attention is given to outside activities than to book learning. It may be that by this time education will be obtained more through observation and experiment than through book learning. or that these diversions may be merely aids to the more serious and laborious forms of education. We have all dreamed of such a High School as is imagined above, but we must enlist public opinion in order that we may obtain the necessary funds through tax- ation. The public, at present, thinks a High School of this kind would be only an ex- pense and does not comprehend its great value, both to the students and to the com- munity which will be comprised in a few years of the present High School pupils. Since public opinion does not, at present, favor the construction of our dream school, let us think for a moment of the High School of the more immediate future. Until recently it has been impossible for the puplis of Newark High School to comply with one of the state's laws regarding physical training. A few weeks ago, the Board of Education of Newark devised a plan whereby it will be possible for each student to spend fifty minutes twice a week in a gymnasium. It is to be erected on the site north of the Avalon flats, near the High School. The floor will be about ninety by eighty-seven feet and the gym will seat fifteen hundred people. There will be two physical instructors, a woman for the girls and a man for the boys. It is planned that as much attention will be given to girls' athletics as to boys'. While athletics will have their place in our gym work, yet systematic physical training is the main purpose. The gymnasium is to be large enough to enable classes of boys and girls to be held simultaneously, the two classes being divided by a curtain. Showers will be pro- vided. However, there will be no swimming pool, for its cost alone would be half as much as the whole gymnasium. k Completion is anticipated by January. A ...,., Next year it will be up to the present Juniors to uphold the dignity of the Senior Class. We have to the credit of the Juniors two star debaters, a fine song leader, editors of three departments in the Reveille, the Presidents of the Y. W. C. A., the Civic Society, the Thalians, and the Athenians and many faithful Reveille workers. With such a start as this and one more year of experience we believe that we will have as fine a Senior Class next year as the Class of '24 has been. - V PAGE 21
