Principal's Page As our minds travel back over the past year, they are filled with no small satisfaction at the progress our school has made thru the consecrated work of as efficient a body of teachers as may be found in our state, and the willing co-operation of the student body. Several student organizations have shown a marked progress the past year. Among these are Per Gradus, Athletics, Glee Clubs, Midget, and the Civic League. It will be the policy of the school to continue this work, and the training given should be of the greatest value to the pupils. Our efficient Glee Clubs and the Orchestra should grow into a place of even more usefulness to pupils interested in music. Our Athletics, successful this past year, must be made more victorious, and the same may be said of the other organizations. First things must occupy front rank. With all school enterprises must go to the conviction that scholarship stands first. It is the faithful, consistent work and application which give the necessary mental muscle demanded by actual life. It is only the proper spirit and effort of the pupil with the careful, patient, and sympathetic work of the teacher that can produce the best of which we are capable. Whether it be the preparation of a lesson in History, Science, or Mathe- matics, the making of a difficult piece of handwork in the shop or sewing room, the proper regard for the rules of basketball, or the correct attitude toward school regulations, elements of truth and honor are being built into the warp and woof of your fabrics, which will modify your prepara- tion for the demands of actual life. We are soon to lose one of the largest classes the University High School has ever graduated. No doubt most of you have asked yourself, Shall I go on to College ? Today, in every walk of life the demand is growing for college-trained men and women. All things being equal, the college man or woman wins over those without such training. There is a reason. Their four years in college bore fruit in leadership. It is the thinking power generated in the college rather than the facts learned, that enables those who graduate to outrun in the world of strife. It may be likened unto a storage battery ready to be tapped at any time. Your college course will open new avenues of thought to you, just as much better, as your present vision and knowledge is better than that of the fifth or sixth grade. You are masters of your fate in regard to going to college but whether you go to college or enter some other field of activity, with you go the best wishes our school has to offer for your greatest success and advancement. You are our finished product and it rests with you what use will be made of the training afforded you. In closing may I acknowledge my personal appreciation to the class of 1923 for the honor bestowed upon me in the Dedication of the Flickertail.-A. H. Kazda.

Superintenclenfs Page It has been a real pleasure to observe with what zeal the senior class this year has been working to prepare this book for publication. It has seemed to me that the entire membership was animated with the ambition to do something that would reflect credit upon the class and upon the school. I fondly hope and believe that this laudable ambition has become a permanent element in each one's personality, a charac- teristic that will be apparent in all their future life. This year's class have good reason to feel proud of their edition of the Flickertail. Much of the actual labor, of course, devolved upon the members of the editorial staff, and without their intelligence and industry and the Wise guidance of their faculty advisor, Mr Kazda, the enterprise must have failed. But the staff were chosen by the class and acted as their representatives and agents, and to choose efficient and devoted officials and give them constant encouragement and support requires an intelligent, public spirited electorate. This volume is another milestone in the history of our school and, more important still, it is a milestone in the life of each member of the Class of 1923. It marks the close of a distinct period in their develop- ment and the commencement of a new period. Whatever the future may have in store for them, when they chance to open this book, may its pages revive memories of influences and experiences in the University High School that contributed measurably to their happiness and success. -C. C. SCHMIDT.
