4 THE CADUCEUS Be clever enough to try out a new plan. Do not be afraid of a thi11g merely because it is new for were not all plans original once? lf it is a step to advancement and has sound priniciples it surely will not do any harm to try it. lie a progressive, and boost the progress which is likely to be solid, far-reaching and lasting. When you go to college you feel like the man who drops his watch in the magicians box. You know it goes in but how will it come out D? ,iii l'ollege education is an investment, how good an investment depends upon the basic value of the student. lt is not a means of acquiring social distinction. lt is no longer to be termed as a luxury or an aristocratic cult. lt is a necessity. The sooner the stu- dents who plan to go to college realize the real value of more advanced education-its true meaning and worth-the better it will be for the scholar and for the entire coun- try. What our country will be tomorrow de- pends on the students of today l ll ii- Advertising There is a certain element that is needed in business now which did not seem to exist at one time. That element is advertising. lt has been found that this is also very es- sential to the school. Athletic teams advertise a school for good or bad: not as a school which produces good or bad teams but as a school which does or does not stand for good sportsmanship. A reputation we hope to have gained is that of a school which places good sportsmanship on a high level rather than to unfair tactics. A school is advertised by any breaking of the rules ot' the game or of eligibility much more than in any other warg but this is not the kind of advertising which we want. Norway High School hopes that it always has and will be a school that stands for good clean athletics. Another way to advertise our school is from an educational standpoint. The sen- iors have a Cl1311CQ to advertise our school after they graduate. We have a high re- gard for our seniors and we hope that they may be successful in college or whatever they undertake in life, for thus, may they advertise our school. Co-Operation Webster detines co-operation as the col- lective action of persons for their common benefit. Co-operation is an essential of school life. lf we realized it was for our common benefit we would be more willing to unite and it would be less ettort to carry on our work. No football game is won without co-operation of the team and of the coach. if we are to be good citizens and support- ers of our government, we must have co- operation. The child's first lessons in citi- zenship are taught through co-ope1'ation at home-afterwards still further at school. There he learns to share with the other fel- low and his rights and obligations a1'e made known to him. Business demands co-operation within the factory and between different groups of producers and consumers. The farmer in the tield, the miner underground, the oper- ator in the factory, the capitalist in his of- fice, and we, as hors and girls going into the world, need and must have eo-operation to carry on our work successfully. YVe must each do our necessary share in the great complicated process of adding some- thing of value to human living in this world of ours. We must learn the first steps of eo-opera- tion hefore we go out alone in the world. lVhy not begin now V?

Progressive or Conservative? Are you a progressive or a conservative? In the progressive people you generally find the element of a pioneer-one who is struggling to achieve a better place in the business and social world. A broad minded person will proudly call himself a progres- sive because he believes in the human rights of his fellow men and boosts his country so that it will lead the world in progfiwss. A conservative is at person who is opposed to changes and innovation. They do not wish to adhere with the present activities because they feel that they have much to lose by a change. The business and social world are not the only, conservatives and progressives are found in'the schools. However, in the schools it is not based on such an exact formula. You might call a conservative pupil one that was coherent to customs. Don 't be a conservative. To follow cus- toms because it is a custom and it would be a bother to make a change is a bad policy to ensue.
