OUR COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL With the passing of the day comes the more vivid realization that the Warrensburg Community High School building is to become a reality, and that the work of the past two years will be evidenced by a building that no one will be otherwise than proud of. There comes to us the thought that the future citizens will be able to stand on a potential and actual plane of power, equal to that of any and every man and woman of the land. Modern standards of living require that the modern citizen must have an equipment, for life, much different from the one that our fathers had. No one of us would be willing to go back and live then, and Warrensburg is showing to all that she proposes to keep in touch with and to progress with the world in education as well as in other things. How utterly absurd it is to supnose that “what was good enough for me is good enough for my son.” The world is changing every day, and I think the sign of the times will show that “it is getting better and better.” In view of this, it seems to me that the raising of our educational standards and increasing of our equipment is only a matter of the evolutionary processes through which our world is constantly passing. The fact that it is a part of our evolutionary process does not add to or detract from the honor of those who have given of their time and money and have so faithfully carried forward the work. Their rewards are assured by the peace of their own consciences, and satisfaction of work well done. In the days to come they will look back with just pride at the good thing that they did for the boys and girls of that day. It is for us, the students of today and tomorrow, to carry forward this work to the best of our ability, and show our benefactors that we appreciate the work they have done. We realize that only a start has been made and the success of it depends largely upon how much we work and how well we spend our time. It has been done entirely that we may hold up our heads in the world of tomorrow and not be pushed out of our niches in the hall of time. We wish to take this opportunity to thank Dad and Mother for the good thing they have done for us, in providing us a new Community High School building. We hope that our work in the future may be such as to merit the confidence that they have in our ability. We promise that the opportunity will not pass unheeded, and that their work shall not have been in vain. We feel that we will now be able to hold up the good name that they have left us, and the standard they have set for us, to the end that we may be better men and women.
