Office of Principal Hanthorn if JUDICIAL A STREAMLINED DEMOCRACY It is a joy to comply with the request of our literary editor--that I write a word concerning the theme of our Gleam. A Streamlined Democracy. What is meant by a Streamlined Democracy? I judge there is some an- alogy between democracy and the streamlined auto. So I inquired of an auto dealer what characterized a stream- liner. He said, speed, bright colors, low center of gravity, good brakes, and abundant power. Does a good democraacy have these same essentials? It certainly does. A democracy must move swiftly: as ours is doing today. Its colors are bright, God's choicest hues, red, white, and blue. Democracy must have stable equilibrium, good brakes, and abundant power. But, where does a democracy get these desirable features? Our constitution answers this question in its first three words, We the people. We must ask ourselves then if we have characteristics we cherish in our democracy. Do we have courage for which the red stripes stand? Are we true blue? Are we standing for purity and honor? Do we have stability that is so desirable in streamlined cars? Have we efficient self control that will en- able us to turn the dangerous corners on life's highway? Will we carry our part of the heavy load? If so, we have a stream- lined democracy. The character of our democracy depends upon us. Let 15,000,000 boys and girls of our high schools have industry, brightness of spirit, self control, and strength. Then our democracy will be a streamliner, of the nigfhest type. All the world will want a democracy. Then soon will be unfurled The glorious banner of us all. The flag that rises ne'er to fall Republic of the world. - Victor I-Iugo. I. N. HATHORN. -N:-f- A x....w.2 Principal I. N. Hanthorn I3 G3- .-.,. . ,. , .. ' ..

JUDICIAL fi' -Our Chief Iustices THE CHALLENGE TO YOUTH The national emergency for defense of this great country of ours calls upon each of us to give all for the defense of our democratic way of life. Our way of life is ever changing to meet the new order of the world. This was intended by the makers of that great document, the constitution. The red, white, and blue shall never change but always be our , symbol of free government. In accord- ance with our period in the march of time, let us streamline our ways, thoughts, and . attitudes. To each individual there is a challenge to make the changes necessary to meet the requirements for a good citizen of our country. Those youth of today who are work- ing through high school and college will Superintendent W' EA Mmthews be taking their places in the management of the affairs of our country when peace ' comes. Greater effort must be put forth for the success of the coming peace than was exerted during the past two decades. We have duties and responsibilities as the price or tax for those loved ideals of the American Home and Government. May we be a credit to our stern forefathers in performing our share. I be- lieve that for us great emphasis should be placed on our conduct and actions as a p epara tion for the days of reconstruction In so fCiI CIS each 11'1Cfl1V1d.LlCIl keeps l'11S CIIl1lU.d.SS Office of Superintendent Matthews and his part in the affairs of our country in order so the success or failure of our democracy will be measured W E MATTHEWS 7- I as all ' F lglilfftf 62 t if Q, if WN ' T - I . . .

It is the recognition by the teachers of those Who, in their estima- tion, have the traits which are requisite for membership in the society. This selection of members is based upon tour points. The student must rank in the upper one-third of his class scholastically. I-Ie must have shown himself to have the qualities of a good leader, and he must have served his school Whenever possible. Last, but not least, he must have a fine character which is in every way above reproach. Miss Mabel Potter organized the Inde- pendence chapter, which is number 226, of the National Honor Society in l924. She has performed the service of sponsor Well and faithfully every since its organization. Each year it has been the custom for the teachers to select a small group of the most outstanding students at the end of their junior year to carry on the functions of the society until the other members are elected during their senior year. Those chosen While yet juniors Were: Buford Brauninger, Bernard Butterworth, Harold Chandler, Dorsy Lou Compton, Iack ,De- Iange, Bob Fenn, Dorothy' Mills, Rachel Peck, Marc Pickrell, lack Ramsey, Norma Trout, Betty Lee Walker, Ella Marie Wielig- man, and Ioanne Wilson. In March the thirty-one new members, making a total of ten per cent of the entire class, were told of their election into the society.
