CHAPTER I THE UPPER SCHOOL D 1 |URING the past few years, or since the Middle School became a separate part of the school, in a building of its own and with its own student government, the three schools have been splitting apart. By this we mean that the same spirit of cooperation is rot there and that the people of the different buildings do not see each other enough to know each other well. The lack of people at the athletic contests is an ex- ample. The children of the two lower schools do not take so great an inter- est in what the High School does in athletics or anything else and this is felt to be a great loss to all three groups. The question is what can be done to remedy this. Many ways have been suggested, among them that of putting the Middle School back with the High School, or of joining the two govern- ments. We do not expect to be able to bring the old feeling of cooperation back right away for the school is larger and therefore it will be harder to get to know everybody and to take an interest in everything that goes on other than what one ' s own group does. However, during the year we think there has been a great improvement and there is every reason to believe that this improvement will continue in the future and that we will once more gain the old school spirit, of all of us being a whole and not three distinct bodies and of all of us working for the whole and not for ourselves and our group. —11-
