Randolph High School - Vergisz Mein Nicht Yearbook (Randolph, OH)

VERGISZ-MEIN-NICHT then longed, yea verily yearned, for the opportunity of taking a higher educational course than the com- mon schools afforded. I craved for this privilege during the day and dreamed about it at night. With a High School in the neighborhood, the opportunity was mine. With- out it the chances at that time were that I would have been compelled to be satisfied with the instructions which the common schools could afford. A High School came, and the whole course of my life has been changed. By reason of the training I got in the High School I was afterwards encouraged to take a college course, and com- pleted the same. Whatever I am and whatever I may have accomplished, however little that may be, is largely due to the early champions of a higher education in Randolph Township. To those champions I wish to ex- tend my everlasting gratitude. U. S. MARTIN. I il' I THE FRUITS In all the activities of life, whether it be in art, science, me- chanics or agriculture, we expect results from our efforts, and the more careful, earnest and persever- ing we are in putting forth these efforts, the more right we have to expect greater and better results. These results we are in the habit of calling the fruits of our labor, and in proportion as we labor, so should we reap. The agriculturalist prepares the soil thoroughly and carefully, se- lects the seed, plants the crop, and through the long hot season culti- vates, watches and cares for the plants until they mature and ripen for the harvest. He has a right to look for fruits, and as he reaps the golden grain he rejoices in the results of work well done. In like manner, through the years that have passed, we have, in our state, built up a system of edu- cation to prepare ourselves and our children for the duties of life and citizenship in our great republic. This building has been carried on earnestly, perseveringly, and, we hope, carefully, until today we talk of having a system which is a unit and takes the child into the door of the primary department, and after sixteen years of his life passes him out of the university prepared to enter the field of life and take up its duties. But is he? We certainly have reason to ex- pect results from this carefully built expensive system. Where to- day are the Hamiltons, Fultons, Franklins, Websters, Jeffersons, Longfellows, Lincolns, and the many others who stood head and shoulders above their fellow men? Have we none of them any more? Or should we not rather ask our- selves what kind of a man would be required now to attain the pre- eminence over his fellows as a Franklin, Hamilton or a Webster? The fact stated in the preamble to our Constitution, That all men are created equal, we seem to be carrying out in our education, and all are being raised to a higher plane of intelligence, until the one
