ODIN lfaculty members of Nvest Side High, We salute you. every one! Through loyalty and friendship true Our homage you have won. The Value of 21 H .X high school education yields two glasscls of returns. One kind is that re- quired in the business world where .1 high school diploma or its equivalent is neces- sary for those who expect to enter its doors. Such professions as the l.1w. medicine, den- tistry. engineering. public school employ- ment and health training courses set as the rirst positive requirement for entrance. a high school education with I'l'I.1RY very def- initely prescribed units of work. In addition to the values or returns I-.nown under such headings as the academ- ic. the industrial or commerci.1l are per- haps objective in the sense th.1t they can lee measured and applied as standards of attainments. a high school education leads to another group of returns. This group is not so easily subjected to standards of measurement but they exist nevertheless. Take a few of them by way of explanation. ln the first place. there is .1 continued ilevelopnient of the correct habits started in the elementary school such .1s prompt- nt-s. 1 sense of orderliness, and the doing of 1 ii-l. '.'.'cll and in .1 completed manner. fsgiin. the indiiidual learns to concen- 'ritt on .in assigned Iask, .ind by being igh School Education open-minded and possessing a spirit of in- quiry, he is able to see the problem from many sides. I-Ie also learns to cooperate and to get along with people thru the development cf .1 sense of toleration and fair play. These acquirements come about thru the chan- nels of club and athletic activity. Finally, tl1e modern high school is not .1 preparation for life but is life itself. Tlie various activities of the school tend to pre- sent life situations and experiences. The high school boy or girl is thus permitted to experience while he is learning. C. R.
