It means attitude toward many things, including society’s conventions. It means a code of ethics—different perhaps, but definite. J. J. Early. Board of Education The common school is the greatest discovery ever made by man. —Horace Mann. Sheridan High School is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; her graduates are admitted without examination to the leading universities and colleges of the United States. The high standing of Sheridan Schools has been greatly aided by the loyal and efficient service of the Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education. + BOARD OF EDUCATION R. E. Carroll, President Edwin Small, Secretary Max Lowe, Treasurer Geo. D. Johnson Dr. P. M. Schunk Baird Janney OUR PRINCIPAL Our last national frontier has been crossed. But there is another before us—an international one—the frontier of world cooperation and world government. May we approach that frontier with the same courage, idealism, and willingness to sacrifice that overcame the obstacles of our national frontiers. For we must not fail. ROB’T W. SKINNER.

These Glee Clubs presented their first program together at Christmas time this school year when they sang various World Wide Carols. They also took part in the Spring Concert and will appear in May in the Music Clinic when they will be judged and criticized with the band, the best group presenting an evening program for all. The Girls’ Sextette consists of Phyllis Davis, Elaine Wallengren, Rosemary Gillis, Esther MacLeod, Dorothy Jensen, and Phyllis Mary Sturgeon. The Boys’ Quartet consists of George Brock, George Gligorea, Steve Abbott, and Vincent East. These groups have presented programs throughout the year at several different clubs and special occasions on the radio. The Sheridan High School Band, with forty-five members, under the direction of Mr. Eric Becker, has provided music for all home athletic games; has presented one Victory concert and a War Relief Concert. They have played in several assemblies, and will take part in the Music Clinic. During the summer of 1944, they played at several baseball games and for the Bots Sots Stampede. The Advanced Orchesti-a has played in assembly, at Taylor School, and has presented programs at Hill School and at the Woman’s Club. They will also participate in the Music Clinic, and will play at the Junior A Play and at Commencement. The Orchestra is composed of sixteen members. A group of boys and girls forming a string ensemble played at a High School P. T. A. meeting. This group is composed of Eugene Chessler, Glen Hoff, Joan Lee Stock, John Jurkow, and Helen Patterson — violins; Nita Well-wood—bass; Eleanor Cornelius—piano. INSTRUMENTAL — 31 — Dramatics The Junior Play “Johnny on the Spot” was presented April 20, 1945 in the high school auditorium. It was produced by special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company of Chicago. The play concerns a returning hero, Johnny, (who really isn’t a hero at all) and the trouble he has with all the worshipping girls. It seems that Sherry Lee, a radio singer, needs someone to be the hero that inspired a new song. So, for a time Johnny is that hero. A few problems arise but when it is all over Johnny and SheiTy discover they have fallen in love. Soon more troubles come up but Johnny’s gi'andmother comes to the rescue and everything is again clear for Johnny and Sherry.

Who always have wonderful horses to ride And a beautiful blond who stays by their side Who win fame in a gun fight, or by turning the herd And never complain or say a wrong word. But there’s a different side to this life of glory You’ve heard it before—the same old story— Of cold winter nights ridin’ guard on the cattle. Of men being killed, hung up in the saddle, Of branding and roping in the heat of the day Hard work on the round up and putting up hay A young bronc is anything else but tame And “riding the rough string” isn’t a game. There are other things too, that aren’t so easy, Fighting fires on a day that’s hot and breezy— Milking and farming, on the go all the while Fancy shirts and new hats aren’t always the style. If you don’t believe it, try it some time, Try being the wrangler or “riding the line.” These men aren’t to be pitied or praised. That isn’t the way they were brought up and “raised.” They stick to their job and don’t care for thanks They are backing and helping our men in the ranks. —Alice Alderson. THE LONELY PINE Upon the crest of yonder rising hill. There stands, against the barren countryside, A lonely pine tree, gnarled in trunk, and worn Through years by weather’s ever-changing tide. So proud it holds against the charging winds, Uplifting limbs so gaunt into the sky; Unsheltered from the tempest’s howling might, And prey to nature’s passions, ever by. Its roots, from out the rocky soil do draw That substance vital to its needled head; From out that soil, whence other living plants, Save but this tree, have lived and now are dead. And oh, could but each mortal, in his mind, At length learn from this pine’s ungainly form. What nature, with her wisdom, teaches it— To stand forever firm, against life’s storm. —Dede Meyer.
