him A survey ot past Wa Wa's indicated that a message from the prin- cipal is traditionally a part of the book. The responsibility of taking up the space with words that might be occupied by a picture has been called to my attention by the very competent editor of this book. During our conversation she told me of the central theme of this year's book and that led us on to a discussion of the importance of sym- bols as factors in social thinking and acting. ln our school community the is seen roaming the halls on the sweaters of both boys and girls. Around Cashmere it is the big C, down at Stanford it is the and everywhere in our country it is the Stars and Stripes. Over in Germany, people are said to thrill at the sight of the swastika, while in Russia, they get their shot of pep from the hammer and sickle. We human beings do evidently get somes thing we want from symbols. No symbol has any meaning in itself. Meaning is put into it by the people who respect or worship or despise it. To us the Stars and Stripes stands for individual worthy a government of, for, and by the people: a fighting chance for satisfaction in living. lt is possible that we have not given sufficient thought to the power of the endowed with meaning by a thoughtful student body and faculty, to inspire all of us. A little emotion now and then seems to be the extra push needed to determine our choice of ways of living in accord with the best human values.
