--MW g 'PHE SENIOR ANNUAL f III' Y dl'S HI High SCDOOI what Do CMV mtdll? Ned A. Kilmer The question of what a High School education means begins to interest one as soon as his preparatory work is done. Not whether higher education is necessary or advisable or indespensable, that question has been settled long ago but the other has never been completely answered. For the first year H. S. is a new and delightful life that opens up a. world of new interests that absorbs all our energies and thought. It is amusing too and one is excitedly eager to take part in everything and taste of a new sensation.. It seems full of op- portunities for enjoyment. Someday later on one realizes that High School is not all 'Lgood times, there is work to be done on every hand and the doing of it assumes a new importance. We are here with a purpose and we begin to appreciate the serious aspects of lite. VVhen we have grown older and though we talk of High School with less enthusiasm, perhaps, it is with a truer understand- ing of its meaning. The changes of the second year are very deeided. The strongest of the first impressions crystallize and become integral parts to our character. One understands what the first year has given to him. that the greater part of what he has learned has not come from books. NVe take the best about us and grow appreciably in every way. The next two years though valuable and unsettled add much to this. In this time our ideals of life and all that go with it are steadily growing. Probably there is too much personal egotism in themg too much theoryg and too little knowledge of the world, but they are high and sureg and we go bravely and gladly with open hands to meet lite and all it brings. VVhat High School means is a more personal question-all that the best influences and teachings inspired by love and a high purpose can mean to us whose purposes and aims in turn are high. She is our foster mother in whose love we have been shel- tered in these four years. She has given us freely ot her exper- ience and wisdom that we may meet life unfettered and strong, and we may in turn give our aid to some one else. ik Dk wk l'm sick of school, lets go to the Isle of Pines. All right. YVhere's it going to be?
