Tiff if 1f 1fAj-7 I. Self Expression The value of the individual is coming to be recognized more and more in educa- tional circles as well as in the fields of business and of art. In the public grammar schools of today, children are not considered as a herd of sheep into which the three R's are to be poured, but as potential citizens who will later govern the nation. In the high school, initiative, originality, executive ability, and a sense of responsibility are fostered by participation in such activities as student body government, plays, and school publications. Everyone carries within himself potential force and ability that should be expressed. No matter what line one follows, one should express himself and his personality. Per- sonality is but an expression of one's inner self which acts as the incentive for the creative spirit. If in the smallest thing one does he puts himself, through it he will be allied in spirit with the greatest works of art and of literature that the ages have pro- duced. The good artist and the good artisan are both held together by one common de- sire-to express in their work the best that is within them. A sense of humor works as a saving grace at times. One is Rpt to become atfected with a suffocative sense of one's own importance in the general scheme of affairs. The individual is essential to society, and he owes to society the expression of himself but he is only a link in an endless chain-and the other links are as important and as essential as he. Be convinced of your own importance, but do not take yourselves roo seriously. Here, after our years of participation in school activities, we have learned a few of the essentials of life in a democracy-the importance of the individual as a part of the whole, the value of expression, and the essential necessity of keeping one's sense of values and sense of humor clear and open. The world outside is much as it is here. Let us say with Browning: 'Strive and thrivel' cry 'Speedy-fight on, for ever there as here.' -VIRGINIA BURTON, '27, lfl
