a of aggression in their work. But rather they wished to take rightful charge of those functions lawfully theirs and in their performance of those functions so conduct themselves as to deepen the already mutual respect between th em and the remainder of the school. As Seniors this policy has been strictly adherred to. During the Redpath Lecture Course their only effort was to perform their duty wisely and efficiently that they might live up to the best of the school’s precedents and not that they should set new or unusual ones. By seizing the opportunity they have not striven to accomplish the unusual or to set new examples but rather they have constantly tried to live up to the best things the school stands for; and in their own policies to reflect all that is noble and idealistic in their surroundings. They seized the opportunities the school had to offer and hoped that they had left them unsullied by all that was common and spectacular and that they themselves had gained much in true nobility of purpose. Military Craining HE advisability of establishing, in the schools of the United States, a mili- tary training system is one of the foremost questions before the minds of the American people at this time. Many movements are being made along this line already. President Wilson, in his address to the West Point graduates, says that the chief thing holding many people back from enthusiasm for any form of prepared- ness is the fear of militarism. He also gives us this definition for militarism, “Militarism does not consist in the existence of an army. Militarism is a spirit, a point of view, a purpose. The purpose of militarism is the use of armies for aggression. The spirit of militarism is the opposite of the citizen spirit. In a country where militarism prevails the military man looks down upon the civilian, regarding him as an inferior and as long as America is America that spirit and point of view is impossible to us.” Colonial Cimes E have often wondered what the old Atlantic coast was like along about the time of 1776. Some of us have even said that we would like to have lived during the period when Paul Revere rode to Lexington and announced the approach of the Red Coats. Although that time has faded away, we love to read the history of those times, see books, pictures and documents, that were used by our forefathers, and along with that, imagine how they looked, dressed, and acted. So that is the reason the Class of 1917 decided to use the Colonial idea. We are endeavoring to submit to you modern welfare in antique fashion. Page Eleven

KINNEY Principal American History-Economics A WORD FROM THE OFFICE HERE has never been a day quite like the one that is before you, bright with promises, filled with opportunities, and teeming with responsibilities that must be met with courage and with skill. None have faced the task with higher ideals, keener resolve, or more thorough preparation than you possess. The community that has so richly endowed you with a high school education has a right to expect that you play your part fearlessly and efficiently. “Today is your day and mine, the only day we have, the day in which we play our part. What our part may be in the great whole, we may not understand, but we are here to play it and now is the time.” May the day’s work bring happiness to you and to those with whom you toil!
