•2 THE GARNET AND WHITE EDITORIAL The Senior staff resigns its cares and pleasures, its bouquets and brickbats, The Garnet and White; and all that it stands for and tries to promote to the other classes; and with all this goes an earnest wish that those who receive it will do all in their power to raise its standards and to con- stantly improve it. We thank our contribu- tors and the members of the underclass staff for their efforts which have made possible the success of The Garnet and White this year. We thank the Faculty advisors for their aid and advice and our advertisers for the support they have given us. We hope that we have produced a magazine that has been an enjoyment to everyone and something that they may keep as a reminder of the joys and the griefs of High School days; and, if we have in any way failed in our aim, we hope that our successors will profit by our deficiencies and succeed where we have failed. Our material and active work for W. C. II. S. is nearly finished, but we shall forever be with her in spirit. Many of us will become loyal supporters of other Alma Maters, but the ties that bind us to West Chester High will never be severed, but will grow stronger day by day. As Alumni we shall try to give West Chester the excellent backing she has always re- ceived from her “old grads,” and we hope we may be remembered, as we have re- membered our Alumni, as members of one great family. On our “magic-carpet” Diplomas we shall fly to all parts of the world, and we shall become lost in the multitudes, but let us always remember that “we be of one school, you and I,” and at every opportun- ity let us have a reunion. Let us be al- ways as we have been in W. C. H. S., “All for one and one for all May The Gar- net and White each month be the voice of a bigger and a better school, and each month may this voice carry its message of honor, integrity, and devotion to all ends of the earth. Our dream of student government has been realized. The Student Council is or- ganized and living up to all expectations. “Finis opus coronat!” It is well worth all the effort necessary to get it. Students, you who will be Seniors next year and you who will be their loyal supporters and the back- bone of the school, wc Seniors have done al in our power to help you get this great or- ganization, one that will mean the com- plete unification of the school, a democratic representative body that will link Faculty and student body and every class into one great unit with one great aim and ideal, to make W. C. H. S. the school preeminent among all others; may you do all in your power to carry out this ideal and to perfect the system. On the class rings of '23 is engraved a .torch. Without this torch the beauty of the ring is gone. Student government is this torch. As the words “West Chester High School” center about the torch, so the West Chester High School centers about student government. It is the Light and the Life of the School. “Twenty-three” has lighted it and “To you from falling hands We throw the torch; he yours to hold it high!” JUNE “And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays —James Russell Lowell.
