If you are always reliable and can always be trusted you will be given responsibilities that will lead to honor and success. IV. SERVICE One great international organization has adopted the motto, “He profits most who serves best.” Mark it down that it is not the man who takes the most from society, but the one who returns the greatest service to society that is held in highest esteem. V. LOYALTY Loyalty to friends and associates, to home, school and country is the corner-stone of good citizenship. This does not mean to condone wrong, but rather to give the truth to those who are rightfully entitled to it. The welfare of the individual is subordinate to the welfare of society as a whole. VI. OBEDIENCE Anarchy obeys no law and recognizes no authority. But good citizenship requires obedience to duly constituted law and authority. VII. SELF-RESPECT You must first respect yourself if you would have others respect you. Keep yourself clean. Be modest and neat in dress. When your personal appearance is good you feel like walking erect and looking the whole world in the eye. VIII. AMBITION He who aims high may miss the mark and yet reach a high goal. Be content with nothing less than the best of which you are capable. IX. SELF-RELIANCE Self-reliance does not mean self-conceit. The person wrho knows that he can do a given thing carries with him a certain confidence which is half the battle. X. GOLDEN RULE No rule of conduct has yet been given to civilization which surpasses or equals the Golden Rule. It summarizes all the others. If you have but one rule to guide you, let it be this, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” If these principles be your rule and guide through life, your career will be a successful one, regardless of your material gains. Sincerely yours, C. A. ANDERSON, Superintendent of Schools.

SUPERINTENDENT C. A. ANDERSON To the Students of the Rawlins High School The man who builds or makes something that is worth while must have plans, or blue prints, to guide him. The business man, the profes sional man, and all others engaged in carrying on the work of the world must have standards by which to be guided. To fill this need, many organizations have drawn up what they call a “Code of Ethics.” A code of ethics is nothing more nor less than a statement of the professional principles or ethical rules of conduct which should govern in that particu lar field. In line with this thought the following principles are suggested. I feel that any boy or girl who endeavors to live up to these principles will thereby become a better and more useful citizen. A Code of Ethics for High School Students I. COURTESY Courtesy, good manners and politeness may be termed the lubricat ing oil which keeps the wheels of society running smoothly. If you would have friends, cultivate the fine art of being courteous, mannerly and friendly to all persons at all times. II. FAIR PLAY Theodore Roosevelt became famous for continually advocating the principle of “a square deal,” fair play, good sportsmanship. In all your games and in all your affairs, cultive this spirit. Cheer the good plays of your opponent. Be a “good sport” if you lose as well as if you win. III. HONOR Truth, honesty and trustworthiness are essential to success in life.
