Old 9lokomis FOREWORD The student body makes the public school, and it is in this great crucible that the student body, gathered from every condition in life—the rich, the poor, the physically strong or weak, the mentally alert or dull, the industrious and indolent—is making the America of tomorrow. The youth of today must realize that he is in the midst of a rapidly changing world he must plan his life and adjust it to these changes and conditions in order that he may realize the greatest possible measure of success and happiness. It is even more necessary that the home and school take into account these changes that they may guide and direct the young people entrusted to them. It is important to understand not only that change is constant, but also that it means either the growth or decay of all that is worth while in life. If it is to mean growth, then home and school must co-operate in believing and teaching that the primary virtues—honesty, truthfulness, unselfishness, and courage—are more essential today than ever before. As pioneers of the future, we, the student body of Nokomis Township High School, are struggling to measure up to these virtues as did the pioneers of the present. In this, our year book of 1928, we have endeavored to feature our pinoeers, their struggles, and victories. “We arc here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard work to do, and loads to lift, Shun not the struggle, face it, ’tis God’s gift.” f 4 ]
