L 5 - nj- THE MIRROR 5 Zfuremnrh are the. pioneers of a new school. Not only is it a new school in a new building: it is a new kind of school. Iflever before .has Minne- apolis established a Junior and a Senior High School in the same building. More than that, this Junior and Senior High School is being conducted as one institution, rather than two. Under this experiment, the pupils from the seventh to the twelfth grades, inclusive, will be given their education during the next few years. While it may not be the intention of the educational authorities to make this form of school organiza- tion permanent, or to ever try the experiment again, it becomes the duty of the pioneers of this institution to make this new form of school organization a complete success while it is in operation. i This can be accomplished in but one way-by absolute team work on the part of all the pioneers of our school. Already the pupils, teachers, oliice force, janitors and parents have demonstrated a marvelous capacity for team work and co-operation. If we continue to co- operate and pull together during the coming years as we have done during the irst year of our school's history, the new experiment will be a success, and no one will be able to say, truthfully, that it is impossible to conduct a Junior and a Senior High School in the same building. The destiny of our new Alma Mater is in our hands. Shall we do our part in proving to the world that the little red school house must go the way of the old oaken bucket: that in place of the traditional one room school must be built the larger school: that this larger school must be thoroughly equipped in every department: that it must be supplied with well trained and com- petent teachers, and, that it must furnish the enriched curricula? Shall we demonstrate to the world that the larger school, with its up-to-date equip- ments, has room for that student only, who is eager to secure an education, and has no room for the idler? Shall we make it plain that we are thoroughly conscious of the fact that our chief business these days is to secure a thorough education? We do not subscribe to the doctrine that education is merely a preparation for life. We believe that our school days are, and should be considered, a very vital part of life itself, And so, as we go about our business in this new school and new kind of a school, wearing the maroon and gold as our school colors, we, the pioneers, pledge, upon our word of honor, to our new Alma Mater, to the community that has furnished the new school, to the State and to the Nation, that the money which is being spent on our education, shall not be spent in vain, but that the investment shall return rich dividends.
