ERICA LEADI America attributes its greatness as a na- tion to the brilliant men and women who, sounding forth the trumpet that never called retreat, erected this massive United States from a simple people and crude re- sources .... We of Washington's student body feel much the same toward the fac- ulty. In search of further knowledge, youth enters high school and is received by the teachers as a simple, pliable mass of tangled talent and ability. Patiently, in the class- room, at clubs, on the athletic field the pedagogues work at their task-moulding futures, clearing bewildered minds-slow- ly shaping the mass, rounding off rough edges, and soon coarseness is lost to highly polished refinement. Then, as three years draw to a close, the kindly faculty pauses a moment and, sounding forth the trumpet, passes to the outer world a capable young American. Then, never retreating, they si- lently return to their task of shaping the never-ending flow of raw recruits. ' f ioxuum 2Yl 5 S I-I us U 3 U. I .'ll'h-I' QU X I
