m labor. Policernen are not employed to watch people whose hands are busily engaged in honest toil. Morally, if the hearts of men are right, jails, peni- tentiaries and law-courts would be useless, because he would then recognize his rights and the rights of others. Every pupil should have high ideals. ln the four years of high school training they should have an opportunity to gain information and skill which will help them to live well the common life while they are enjoying and working out the less materialistics of the ideals of humanity. The school should exercise over the pupil firm, but reasonable control, inspiration and self discovery. The high school benefits a community, first, it affords a place where the susceptible, unsteady child can spend his time with little danger of harm from evil associationsg second, the positive advantages that a man or woman with a high school education has in the battle of life over one who does not have this training. The high school is a helping hand which the state extends to all its citizens in order to secure for them a high class of individual and social efficiency. There is no place that an education would not be valuable. A child with no education has one chance in 150,000 of being worthy of a place in Who's Who in America. With an elementary education he has four times the chance, with a high school education he has eighty-seven times the chance, and with a college education he has eight hundred times the chance. The high school graduate earns an average of S500 per year more than an un- educated person. During forty years he would earn 520,000 more. To gain this sum he spends twelve years of one-hundred-eighty days in school, giving him a little less than S28 a day for his school work. With such a great difference in intelligence and wages, it would surely be worth the time and effort to receive this education. Leona Mohler, '26 Li... ..-m.. Wadsworth Business Men , Too much can not be said in favor of the Wadsworth Credit Associa- tion and business men. These public spirited men are continually on the lookout for industries or any worthy institution that might locate in Wads- worth. They are ever mindful of civic duties and take great pride in beauti- fying our little city. Hardly a week passes by that this group of men is not called upon to give its moral or financial support to some worthy cause. Our efficient business managers, Allene Houglan and Ross Shenk, of The Whisperer will testify that the generous and courteous treatment ac- corded them made possible a High School Annual. It has been proved re- peatedly that an Annual is impossible without the advertising. We are in- deed grateful for your generous support. ln return, Business Men, we will feel honored to have you call upon the Wadsworth High School to perform some service that will benefit our little city.

Junior Report ln September, in the fall of l922, we, now jolly Juniors, with a few additions and subtractions stepped from the old monotony of grade school life into the often thought of time when we would enter High School. Here the maidens proudly put up their hair while the lads strut in long jeans. We certainly have enjoyed our High School life. Of course we were a long time getting settled to the new ways and we had to learn how to study even though the subjects were only four in number. Most of our fun came when we had a chance to show what we con- tribute to athletics. And we are just as proud of our fighters as can be. On the Basket Ball team we support Bob Gerstenschlager, Jim Daykin, Jake Blough, Horace Mason, and Paul Pollock, and in addition Louis Wilson on the football team. Now it has been said that we are a very talkative class and although it doesn't seem like a very good name, we made use of it by entertaining the entire High School with debating for a whole afternoon. We take pride in knowing that it was the first entertainment of the kind given in the High School. This team was composed of, Affirmative: Pauline Derhammer, Earl Joachim, and Hugh Hartzell. Negative: Leona Mohler, Ross Shenk and Edwin Parker. Our Junior Literary Society organized at the beginning of the term has proved a very interesting and instructive source of entertainment, for the programs have been enjoyed by every one in the class. Parties have not been the leading role during the three years but they have taken some part and were enjoyed by all who attended them. And we as a class, hope to complete our High School career to the last degree next year. U Edith M. Fetzer 'l'wcnty-two
