THE HASSAYAMPER FOREWORD LARGESS FOR THE NO- BLE KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF PRESCOTT HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WE HOPE WILL BE- COME AS PRICELESS AS THE FAMED JEWELS OF OMAR IN THE YEARS TO FOLLOW. THIS OUR 1929 HASSA- YAMPER, THOUGH PERHAPS NOT THE BEST THAT HAS EVER BEEN COMPILED, IS OUR BEST EFFORT TO MAKE A LASTING MONUMENT, A WRITTEN RECORD, OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL AND ITS AC- TIVITIES DURING THE YEAR 1928-29.

THE HASSAYAMPER Explanation of the Theme Many centuries ago there flourished A MIGHTY ORDER WHICH BECAME RE- NOWNED FOR ITS WORK OF GOODNESS. ITS FAME SPREAD SO FAR AND ITS ACHIEVE- MENTS WERE KNOWN IN SO MANY LANDS THAT EVEN NOW THEY COME RINGING DOWN THROUGH THE AGES INTO OUR EARS TO BE ADMIRED AND STRIVEN FOR. THIS ORDER WAS MADE UP OF MEN WHO PUT OTHER THINGS ABOVE THE THOUGHT OF SELF, AND WHOSE IDEALS WERE TO OBTAIN A STAINLESS CHARACTER, DOING ALL IN THEIR POWER TO BRING ABOUT A SPIRIT OF HELPFULNESS AND GOOD WILL. SUCH WERE THE “KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE.” THE CARDINAL VIRTUES, FIDELITY AND CHIVALRY, WERE THEIR GUIDING STARS. TRULY, KNIGHTHOOD WAS GREAT! TRULY, AS “THE OLD ORDER YIELDETH PLACE TO THE NEW,” WE LOST THOSE MATCHLESS IDEALS OF MANHOOD WHICH ARE NEEDED TODAY. IF, IN CHOOSING THE THEME “KNIGHTHOOD” FOR THIS, OUR ANNUAL, WE ARE EXTOLLING THE KNIGHTLY VIRTUES OF FIDELITY AND CHIV- ALRY AMONG THOSE WHO READ IT, WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN OUR PURPOSE. IF, THROUGH THIS THEME, WE ARE SPREADING THE WORTH OF LOYALTY, FAITH, COURTESY AND HELPFUL- NESS, AGAIN WE HAVE SUCCEEDED, FOR NO- WHERE AS IN SCHOOL ARE WE SO MOULDED IN PREPARATION FOR THE MANIFOLD DUTIES AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP OF THE MANHOOD AND WOMANHOOD THAT AWAITS US.
