JANUARY 1923 The SOZft,'LU6Si67' PAGE 15 Better Citizenship are now at a place where we instinctively pause and review our K A High School careers. We start at the Freshmen year and go forward l term bv term but are wont to dwell longest on this, our last semester, l 5 1 the time when we entered this magnificent new buildin of ours for E. me g ,j Y WN the first ,full term. Sometime back in 1918 the necessity for a new high school for this section of the city culminated in action. After a long battle plans were decided upon and ground broken by members of the june graduating class of 1921. Slowly the building grew and though not Finished we entered it as a school for the first time in April 1922. This new type of building, the first of its kind has come to replace the old towering structure with its long cavern-like corridors and immense rooms. Its low lying lines seem to fit into the surroundings and the inviting doorways seem to bid you enter. Within, nothing seems to have been neglected to make its hallways and rooms inviting to the student. Its smaller rooms seem to draw you closer together in group or class. The ample office with its wide counter where we can stand and present our alibi's invites you to step within. The wide and easy stairways, the noiseless floors, the big gymnasium with the showers and pool, all seem to have been planned to entice us to stay as long as we can, and add greatly to the convenience and comfort of our school days. The whole structure speaks of elegance and refinement to arrive at which have been the result of experiments and the work of years, many of which have been costly. It is not hard to imagine, if one but stops to think, that the building, equipping and maintaining of such a school is costly. The question naturally arises, as to whether the results obtained will anywhere nearly justify such ample provision. As students we are proud of our building, our school and its achievements during the past year, but are all these things going to make it any easier for us to find our places in the great world of work outside? We think it is, but of course we can not now rove it. Only time can do this. We have to admit that from the little red brick, school house of the country with its one room and one class have come some of the greatest men and women of all times. We can not depend wholly on buildings and equipment to produce men and women even though they are administered ever so efficiently. If we do, we fail to take into account the main factor in human development and progress. We aim to become good citizens, but in order to become such, we must be loyal to our government or to the agency that lifts us up, we must be able to render some acceptable service to our neighborsg we must be a worthy member in our homes and honor and respect those who maintain such homes. We must learn to use our spare time for the uplift of others and not for our own selfish enter- tainment merely. If these are not the aims of our class, then the cost is not justified. When the taxpayer objects to the cost of education must we not answer him by the earnest- ness with which we take up our tasks in school as indicative of the way we shall take up those greater duties when they shall come. A good man or a good woman in a community is an asset to that community. A bad man or woman is worse than none at all: he is a liability. Let us figure up some of the costs or invest- ments made by the citizens of this community in order that Southwestern may be maintained. Nearly one thousand pupils have attended Southwestern this semester. The value of their time must be recognized. Each spent nearly 700 hours or a total 700,000 hours at school work, which at 25c an hour would amount to -fB175.000, The cost of books and supplies at about 34.00, means 84,000 Cost of the students
