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.

JOSEPHINE M. PHELAN, A. B. Rawlins High School 1916. Trinity College, Washington, D. C., 1920. Instructor in English R. H. S. 1920-1921, 1921-1922. “Vim, Vigor and Vitality has been the slogan of the English Department during the term 1921-1922. It seems paradoxical, to say the least, but it’s true. From this department sprang The Exhaust, the first Rawlins High School publication. published monthly by the student body under the management of the Senior class. The benefits derived from a work of this kind are immeasurable and the impetus given to the work done in English has been very remarkable. It is a work well begun, but only begun, and it remains for the succeeding years to give it the improvements that only experience can acquire. Another very fruitful work of the English Department has been public speaking. One day of each week has been set aside for this phase of English and, very gratifying results have been shown. For the first time R. H. S. was represented this year in the Public Speaking contest at the State Tournament. Out of the interest taken in public speaking grew the organization of the R. H. S. Debating Society, supervised by the English Department.
