Prtnnpalg ifflgBBagg v rf ' AMES BRYCE, in discussing individual responsi- bility in a democracy, has suggested that the life concerns of an average person occur in the following order of importance: 1. The occupation by which he makes his living. 2. His domestic concerns. 3. His religion. 4. His amusement and recreation. 5. His civic duty to the community. Bryce further says that since civic duty is so far removed it fills a very small place in the average citizen’s thoughts and claims a correspondingly small fraction of his time. The endeavor of your high school is directed with the genuine purpose of removing this condition in the society to which it is responsible by giving the boys and girls here, a balanced education so that they may meet all of the fundamental obligations of life with a four square response. The world has a definite place for men and women that do things in the right way; men and women who are not afraid of work; men and women willing to give them- selves to the cause of humanity with consecrated service. Your high school training has given you this high ideal. Your high school training has made it possible for you to render genuine service. Do not be carried away with a feeling of exultation on your graduation day, but be definitely conscious of your responsibility.

Although outwardly light-hearted and easy-going, he has high ambitions ) id ideals. For an example of a boy who has an even temper and is always gentlemanly, we have John. May all ihis desires be realized! V SUSIE KATE ASHI5URN “SUE” “Let the world slide, let the world go, a fig for care, a fig for woe.” Here is a quiet, unobtrusive little Senior, who doesn’t flaunt her colors. Just the same she has plenty of school s irit. We all envy Susie’s easy-go- ing, unruffled disposition.
