cat lat ■fes4 i ? 1 )f% Dear Diary — The time to go back to school is drawing nigh — it makes me feel all shivery and shaky. 1 look forward to the last year of high school with a great many misgivings — and not the kind you think. The worst mis- giving I feel is the fact that I shall have to leave the dear old Alma Mater in the spring! When a Freshie starts school he can only ' hink oi — Oh golly, four years of it! It is al- ways that way, not only with school, but with everything you come in contact with. Until you become thoroughly acquainted with the set up, it puts you at a disadvantage. School can ' t be classed with anything, however, be- cause there are teachers who go out of the way to make you feel at home. (Think of as- signments as being a little housework to do — for instance, washing dishes). Make home and school synonomous. The building this year is only two years old and it is already mellow with wonderful and glorious happenings. It is enhanced by the gay and youthful occupants — Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and even the Seniors — who forget themselves in the madcap plunge into the life of education and social whirls. School offers the student a wide and diver- sified field in sports, academics, music, and forensics. The wise student is one who parti- cipates in a variety of extra-curricular activi- ties. Remember — a narrow path in youth leads one in narrowness all his life. A well rounded program affords the student personal contacts, some of which he wll cherish all his life. Our school upholds the reputation of hav- ing one of the best sportsmanlike football teams, basketball teams, hockey teams, and baseball teams in the Valley Conference. For those who excell in athletics the sports field is varied. Now I know that there are many bashful hopefuls who, although not outstand- ing in athletics, like a game of basketball or boxing now and then. For these people there is a well developed intramural system and it is put into practice each year. The music department is widely acclaimed as being outstanding in the versatility of the respective musicians. The band, orchestra, glee club, and a cappella choir are the con- stituents of the music department, which make it as complete as any other department in the school. Every student is encouraged to partake in forensics. In fact those outstanding in public speaking are urged to enter debate, oratory, or extemporaneous speaking and reading. These are activities which everyone should lake advantage of to round out the worthwhile plan of high school. Let us alight briefly on the clubs which offer the average student a varied contact with many different types of people. Through the clubs the student reach- es a better understanding with the teachers who act as advisers. We Seniors are not enthusiastic about re- linquishing our hold on high school — but we leave it up to you under-classmen to fill these portals of wisdom with wholesome laughter and gladness. Dear Reader — This calendar is only a small part of school activities. We leave it to you to make the most of your future years. PAGE 3
