I have notic- ed from the hall that while the pact of the daily routine is carried on, there are many apparently disinterested members; some are looking out of the window, some reading, writing, or even talking at times. This is an im- portant part of the daily exercises; it settles one for the day and helps to begin his work in a quiet, orderly way. No one should enter or leave the room at this time and everyone should pay attention to the reading and take part in Drayer. The Bible is the foundation of Ethics and a guide in progress; it also acts as a safetv trail to keep us on the right track. Listen to what some of our great men have said concerning it. Mr. Coblentz, a member of the State Board of Education said, “A life with- out Christian religion is unbalanced.” Ewald, “In this book, is all the wisdom of the world.” Andrew Jackson, “That book is the book on which our Republic stands.” Sir Walter Scott, “There is only one book, the Bible.” Faraday, “Why will people go astray when they have this blessed book to guide them ?” Theodore Parker, “The sun never sets on its gleaming pages.” Cannon Farrar, “There is no book that can supersede is as an in- strument for the education of the young.” Dr. Guthrie, “Rob us of our Bible and our sky has lost it’s sun.” The indispensability of the Bible proves its value to us in beginning our daily work. SENIOR FAREWELL. The Senior Class stands at the present time in a place where they are thinking over High School days. They are looking backward, instead of forward as most classes are doing. Tn this ruminating, they are thinking of whether they hace obtained all they should have done, had they the High School course to take again. No doubt there are many regrets. Soon, the succeeding classes will be in this identical situation. Pre- pare for such a time. Make each and every year a successful one. Take part in Athletics; many happy memor- ies are of Athletic battles. Push all Social affairs with zest. The Social activities are pleasant memories to a Senior. Since the High School is what the pupils make it, leave no stone un- smoothed to mar it’s beauty. Be sure your course is just as you w’ant it, so there will be no regrets at it’s sunset. The Senior Class extends it’s best wishes and regards to the remaining Students and Faculty of S. H. S. C. Lung ’27.

HIGH NEWS Page 3 HOPE Hope is one of the greatest bless- ings to man and one that possibly most effects our lives, we go forward from the very beginning of our lives with hope for better things to come, we hope to grow big when we are chil- dren, and with the hope that we may be able to read, write and solve pro- blems, take an interest in the first steps of education, and with perserv- erance gradually develop to higher standards of living, learning and thought, only to increase our confid- ence and hope that there are still bet- ter things farther on. The person having poor health has hope that through better living he will have better health, the farmer with hope cultivates the soil and sows seed believing that in time he shall reap a harvest, the inventor has hope that success is his in bringing about some great new invention for a ma- chine that will revolutionize present day methods of manufacture, transpor tation or amusement for mankind, the physician and surgeon toil and spend much time in study with the hope that a better method can be used to save the lives and improve the health of his fellowman, the teacher, the artist, mus ician and preacher all strive to im- prove on what has been done with the hope that their labors will make a bet- :er world to live in. As high school students and grad- uates especially, the question may arise as to where do I go from here, and gloomy would be the future if we had not the hope, that if we continue to prepare for some work and ever do our best at what may come to us to do each day will bring us success. Faith, hcpe and perserverance, these three, overcometh all things, and to their attributes we can credit our present conditions, whether it be in school, at work or in our school life. Hope fills our days with anticipa- tions, high and noble aspirations: it imparts strength and courage for dis- charging responsibilities: it scatters oses along the thorny pathway of life: t is the sunshine piercing the shadow. With out hope, man’s desire to live ceases. May the star of hope shine on and on ! K. J. Newcomer. WOULD S. H. S. BE THE SAME IF: Arthur Martin acted as a Senior in English Class ? Ruth and Shank were not seen talking In the halls ? Robert failed to chew gum? Clarence lost his dignity? Eva lost her musical talent ? Helen did not tease Louise every morning ? Fay lost her type-writing ability ? Agatha Annabel arrived at school before 9 o’clock ? Wade lost his good disposition ? Irl did not explain Physics to the girls everyday ? Marie refused to laugh any more ? Frances bobbed her hair ? Louise forgot her date ? David’s hair failed to curl ? Austin missed a trip to Ringgold ? Margaret lost her history knowledge ? Martha learned the “Charleston”? Storekeeper and Lady Lady—Do you keep dates ? Storekeeper—I’d never keep you wait- ing a second.
