THE SEARCHLIGHT Page 13 JOSEPHINE MARKLE I Newtonian J ujon Welfare Club 443. ' Josephine is one of the girls who has help- ed make her class what it is. She is jolly, and has a smile for everybody. Besides be- ing studious, she takes part in the social ac- tivities of the class. To know her is to love ' her. HARRY DONALDSON fPhilophroneanJ D-oc Philophronean Critic 1413 President of Welfare Club 1413 Class Play cast, As a Woman Thinketh. Behold a very ambitious lad with lots of pep and school spirit. Doc is making High school in three years and is going to Oberlin next year. Good luck, Doc. , , i' The Class of '23 B. E., '23 We, of the class of twenty-three Have struggled, fought and climbed, Up the rugged heights so steep Helping those that come behind. Through our four long years in High School We have kept its standards high, And never a day did we let them drop As time went swiftly by. At last, at last we have reached a goal, Which is not a permanent one, But merely just a stepping stone, To greater things unknown. And now that we are Seniors, We wish to make one request, That you keep up the High School standards And make them the very best.

With the latter, usually in time of war, and the former in athletics. This is nothing more than turning out to encourage the contestants, sometimes sacrificing other pleasures to do so. No one, unless he has played long and hard in the face of many and varied ob- stacles, cafn appreciate what the cheering.along the side-lines means to them. They realize that many have had difficulty in getting there, but they came to give them the benefit of their voices. Whether they think of these things or not, they KNOW that whether they win or lose, that body of cheering spectators is going to welcome them back with open arms, so they naturally do their darndest to deserve it.

The way in which you take part in the Literary program shows your school spirit. If you go about it in a slow, sluggish manner, saying, O, what's the use. No one listens. Listen-you don't have any too much school spirit. We'll admit the audi- ence is not always as attentive as it might be, but why not make your part so inter- esting that they'll want to listen.

How do you want to be treated? When the school is having a little social affair or something like that, for the benefit of the school, it is the duty of every one to take part. There will be more accomplished, and besides you'll have more fun. You'll be surprised how nice the
