 Y 7 € Y'r ■ l {'( f V Plato's Phaedrus Man’s mind is a charioteer, driving two horses—Reason and Discipline. This statement was made by the Greek Philosopher, Plato, many centuries ago and has been recognized as the Greek interpretation of Beauty. Time and places have changed, but not man’s soul; yet we mortals have drifted away from the teachings of the immortal philosophers of yesteryear and the use of Reason and Discipline as character building methods. The basis of our thinking at Warren Easton relative to the educational growth of our students is that there cannot be a separation of Reason from Discipline nor a lack of either or both. Educational knowledge or fact can be repeated to a point that one might consider himself an intelligent person, hut without the abilitv to use this knowledge reasonably the individual can only repeat what he remembers. The func- tion of an educational institution is to see that reason is applied in every phase of its functions from the administrator through the faculty on to the students. With the proper use of reason, one can discipline himself to a point where it becomes effortless to accomplish the success that each of us seeks. Right versus wrong no longer remains a problem, for there is nothing left between to confuse. With this combination of Reason and Discipline, man’s character progressively improves through the years to a degree that in the eyes of the Supreme Being and his fellow men the soul becomes a thing of Beauty. This accomplishment will come to be with a sincerity of purpose and a determination that self improvement is the only true end.

OFFICE STAFF Just checking mail is one phase of secretarial work done so very efficiently by Mrs. Jeannette Elam and Mrs. Katherine Ane. Can you imagine Miss Eunice Durr and Mr. George Comeaux taking time out from counseling to examine school annuals? This is part of their work. 29
