After all they were short, those four years. It seems as though it was but a short time ago that we entered the then unknown realms of high school and now we are about to graduate. Our high school race is run. Our records are made. Is there one of us, who, if given the opportunity of returning to high school, would not work harder to attain the best record possible ? But now it is too late to change our records. Our efforts and talents must be directed toward the future. We have been told by those who are competent to judge that our education is just commencing. So after all we shall have a larger field of opportunity to make a good record for ourselves. Let it be our aim and desire that our future be one of co-operation with, and good will toward our partners in the great business of life. We shall soon be Alumni. Our high school days have passed beyond recall. But why should we take leave of our schoolmates? Perhaps some of our schoolmates will remain together, other class members will be near each other, but many will be scattered far and wide. But why can’t we all have a get-together day? Call it Home Coming Day, Norfolk High School Day or something of the sort, and just forget our business and the cares of life for one day in the year and bring ourselves back, body and soul, to the good old days. Friendships would be brought nearer and the true spirit of Norfolk High School brought to a new life and meaning. Let us try to develop the true spirit of the Alumni—the attitude of big brotherhood toward those who are to follow us into the ranks of the Alumni. The Spirit of the School Perhaps the great majority of us feel that loyalty to our school consists mainly in wearing an arm band, attending athletic contests and yelling like mad when “we” make a good play. But this is one part—and a very small part—of true spirit. Our school stands for high ideals, clean thinking and better citizenship, so should not we as students stand for the same thing? Of course rooting squads are fine—no one denies that. But surely our school means much more to us than just this. Let’s really do something for our school—do it ourselves, each and every one of us, and not leave it for someone else to do. Don’t forget that no matter where we are—at work, in the home, on the street, anywhere and everywhere, we are representing Norfolk High School and let’s conduct ourselves so that no apologies will be necessary.
