v x F K 4 x 1 ri J., 'V i is i cJheOWEN5BORAN rw wf SENIOR HONORS By Ellcn Ha1't Smith Sf HERE is no tradition more beloved among us-and the.Owensboro fa, High School has many traditions-than that one which regards 3. the kind of boy or girl who goes into the making up of our student Ei body organization The caliber of the school, so too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the absolute necessity for good students, if the school is to be an outstanding one. Its reputation in non-scholastic circles is invariably determined by the character of the students who represent it. It is our duty, then, as Q1 pupils in Owensboro High School, to refiect the greatest credit possible viii upon our Alma Mater. And not only the great majority of our student Q body must do this-every member must do his or her part, otherwise lb? the public's opinion of us cannot be perfect. The actions of one student Nfl . 1 Y, may sully the reputation of a whole school. For the sake of an examp e, itil we may make use of this well-known illustration. A drop of pure water t f in a bottle of black ink makes no appreciable difference in the color of the 'X' mixture, but place a single drop of ink in a glass of clear water, and note p , how the contents become clouded and polluted at once. The connection between this illustration and the students of a school is abvious. We 0 can fix no higher goal for ourselves, as a school, than that a mixture of H every student in O. H. S. will always result in crystal clearness. S All of us have, at some time, set for ourselves an individual ideal, this being the preliminary step toward reaching the goal that is ours as a school. There are certain things we demand in the boy or girl who best i, 1 personifies our ideal, and it is on this basis that we have chosen our rep- L ' . y resentative students for 1927. This contest, miscalled a popularity affair, is an innovation at O. .l H. S. This year we decided that the infiuence of an abstract ideal would QQ be strengthened by the election of two students who personify it best among us. The purpose of the contest may be summed up in a very few PS1 words: To find the most representative students in O. H. S. We take pride in saying that there were a great many members of sql the Senior Class eligible for this honor. We hope that in the Senior class- G: es of the very near future every member will be worthy of this can- didacy. It was extremely difiicult, however, to discriminate among the it many different types of students who are equally well suited to repre- i sent O. H. S. if There are students who win laurels on the athletic fields, students ,ij who shine in dramatics and other extra-curricula activities, students 3, who earn honors in their school work, students who display a fine spirit Q i of leadership. We must choose, then, a composite type-a student who combine the qualities of scholarship, leadership, activity, and excellence 4 in athletics. 5 Page Thirty-three ' ' i '
