14k g THE WATCH TOYKER Retrospect ' ' ist T is hardly within the sco e of this article to review all the school's activi- u 1 p fc ts L ties Our marked success in athletics debate, dramatics organization life 0 L Jigs, . c . I L , 1 , z c , and other lines is noted elsewhere. Let me, then, point out some other .JA highpoints in our school life. . In general it is evident that there is in the school a stronger spirit of unity, a keener sense of our belonging and working together as a public institution. The attendance at various eventsg the attention in assemblyg the general response to requests for neatness and order are evidence of this. There is always room for improvement in any institution, to claim perfection, to rest satisfied spells stagnation and decay. Our school has individuals who have not yet absorbed that real, true, large, school spirit which frowns on anything which may discredit the school and which is willing to stand up and speak out for the good and honor of the school. The answer to such is given in the attention and courtesy extended in our assembly on all occasionsg in the greatly improved appearance of the assembly during the lunch hours, in the success of Old Clothes' day and the Davenport Victory Parade, in the faithfulness and loyalty of the large majority of students to attendance and punctuality regulations and to academic standards. XVhen that faithfulness and that loyalty to all school standards becomes thoroughly embedded in the heart and mind of every student-then, and then only, can we claim perfection. And it is attainable. Gradually but surely I see coming that cooperation which spells a student sentiment, a student sense of responsibility, that will make it the law-the 'gstyleu of the group, the school, to be loyal to all the best interests of the school. The student body exercised good judgment in the selection of a council. That is in itself an evidence of growth in citizenship. The council has this year been a decided help, and its standing in the school is of greater importance. The effectiveness with which the members are handling the monitor system is proof of a greater sense of responsibility on part of the council members. The response of students to the lunch hour hall regulations is a gratifying token of a fundamentally right spirit and attitude. lVIay I say, as principal, that I fully recognize and appreciate the splendid spirit of cooperation of the faculty in promoting any ideals of the school spirit towards which we are working. It is through the teachers, who come in daily contact with the student body, that our ideals are furthered and reached. ARNOLD LAIY. .1921
