GREETING nr HE first annual of a new school may, with propriety, set forth a declaration of its principles, or aims or ideals, which it hopes to incorporate into its future life. A new school has an opportunity that belongs to no other. It is not hampered by any old traditions nor by any established customs. It has a clean, white page upon which to start a new history. Moreover, its early life, even its first year, foretells in great measure its whole future. For, while all schools are similar in their work, and their play—they have an individuality, and generally, each emphasizes some particular trend of thought and ideal. While schools may be alike in prescribed work, they may differ vastly in the way in which the work is performed. Preparatory schools may prepare for widely different futures. Beyond and behind all prescribed work is the real educative force of a school—the force that dominates school life, that furnishes its ideals and ambitions. It is the spirit of the school which is the mightiest factor in its great influence. If this spirit is for loyalty, honesty, earnestness and self-reliance, then the students arc prepared for any vocation in life. May we not hope that already West High is characterized by that lofty spirit, and that in all its future career high qualities of mind and character shall be its ultimate aim? Prof. A. N. Ozias.
