Papa- four Wow ?dfz!4 z4fze The well-rounded school is similar to a healthy body. It is composed of many parts. Without any one of these parts, neither the body nor the school could function to best advant- age. The backbone is the part of the body which gives the main support. It is needed to hold the body erect and straight. Without a strong backbone things could not be carried out as they should be. In the school, the Backbone is composed of the faculty with Mr. Herron as the chief vertebra, the custodians, the patrol boys, the cafeteria staff, and the student council. They are our leaders who keep us together as an upright and functioning unit. The body is the major part of every person. In Terrace Park School, it is YOU and all of the other students who make up the Body. Next, we have the brain, that section of the body upon which all others depend. ln school, we should strive to develop the Brain more than anything else. This can be done through regular classroom and outside work and through participation in clubs and activities which serve to increase the interest and information of the students. Over-all proficiency in this field is recognized by membership in Key Club. In order to breathe, speak, or sing, lungs are required. Likewise, in a school, the cheer- leaders, All-Hi, and the band could be termed the Lungs since they provide the necessary voices and music. Our muscles keep us moving and provide us with healthy recreation and pleasure. The Muscles serve the same purpose in school through G. A. A. and the many athletic teams. A body without a heart is no body at all. And a school without a heart is no school at all. The Heart is represented at Terrace Park in the Fenton House, in class plays, in Home- coming affairs, in dances, and in other events which encourage its function. And now we come to the feet, the things upon which we run. The Annual could not operate without their Feet, consisting of advertisements, the Carnival, concessions, and the Annual Staff. We depend on all these for our support. Putting all of these important parts together, we have formed a well-rounded individual. With the graduation of each class, your school strives to send forth many such individuals. The students of Today are the leaders of Tomorrow! .7

'lla'- F 1'9- I 'X All people, young and old, cherish and take pride in things that are their own. A new car, a house, a lish- ing rod, a bicycle-all have one thing in commong they arouse a feeling of pride in the owner. Yet pride may vanish ifa possession is cheapened or ruined by carelessness or neglect. A car that is battered and rusty cheap- ens its owner, who is responsible for it. Even as there are individual possessions, so are there possessions which belong to a group. Into this category falls our school. ln a very real sense our students are the owners, for a school is known by the reputation of its students. lf they hold high their pride in their scholarship, sportsman- ship. citizenship and conduct, their schoolis reputation and prestige will grow regardless of its size. Conversely, where pride is lacking in these qualities, the school is cheapened, and its precious reputation is blasted. Low standards of scholarship, poor sportsmanship, and foulness of mind and speech mark not only those who are guilty, but also soil those who permit it in their presence. Such a student body reflects discredit upon its school, blasts its reputation, and in turn is punished byattendinga school whose reputation is cheapened. Terrace Park has always been a proud school, proud in all of its many and varied activities. lt is expected that that pride will continue to exist in full measure and for sound reasons. It can never be otherwise. ' Za? Page six
