'THE ROUND-UP U 0 t e Stu ents of Raw ins Hiqli School: My Dear Friends: As 'the time draws near when my four years of service among you will term- inate, I am impelled to sing my swan'song. I have enjoyed greatly my sojourn among you, and I shall have many regrets upon leaving. One cannot live and W0l'k f011I' Yea-'PS in a- community without acquiring many good friends and storin' up in one's memory many pleasant recollections. 'It is my sincere wish and earn- est hope that many of you will make a name for yourselves in the world, 'that Rawlins High School may thereby be honored as well as yourselves. As I leave you to take up my work in other fields, I wi-sh to leave with you one parting thought. ' - A recent writer made the statement that disaster -to the United States will not come from the outside, but from within. What did he mean? Simlply this, that as we are a self-governing republic, if we are ro survfive as a nation we must learn to govern ourselves. We 'must learn to sufbmmit to duly constituted' authority, to submerge our -own desires an-d wishes in the common go-od, ot society. We must learn that progress and' reforms must be brought about by means of the 'ballot and not by force. E - , We rejoice in the rights, privileges and opportunities that are ours in this great land of ours. But we must always remember that in proportion as we have rights and fprivileges, so do we also have responsibilities. No society is better than the sum total of the virtues of its inldividual members. The first requisite to greatness as a nation is to have 'good citizenship. And good citizenship means in- dividual responsibility in seeing to it that the laws are olbeyed, 'and that the un- social individual who is always breaking 'the law is suppressed. It means the ex- istence of an active and intelligent public conscience or opinion which 'will condemn the wrong and comrrnend the right. And so we have the public schools to train the individual for good citizen- ship anid prepare him to take his place credrltafbly and well in 'the work-a-dav world. For the school is a miniature world' or society. It is a society similar to that which we are 'plunged into after graduation. The student in school must learn to be a good member of the schlool or student body, t-he sfaime as helis ex- pected later to -become a good citizen of t-he community. And that implies that he must learn to recognize and' conform fto the necessary requirements and re- strictions ot school authority, the same as he must do elsewhere outside of the school, It meams that he should do the thing that is right, not because he has to, but because he wants to, recognizing that it i-s for the common good. It is a well-known axiom, that anarchy begins where order and government cease. So we have responsibilities of good school citizenship, just the same as we do in the outside world. If the student will view his relationship to the school from this angle, it will give hiim a new view-point which will helip him as well as his school. In conlclusioln let me say, that I hope you will go forth into 'the world to bring honor upon yourselves and reflect credit upon the Rawlins High School, which some of you will leave soon, and others later, Sincerely yours, C. A. ANDERSON. May 9. 1923. Superintendent of Schools.
