Jjmu-Unut a Sophomore Class History We, the Sophomores of the Windsor High School, in order to form a more perfect organization, establish friendly class relationships, insure a better mind, provide for a combined defense, promote the school spirit, and secure the blessing of an education to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this History of the Sophomore Class of Windsor High School. A year and several months ago we brought forth in this school, a new class, conceived in thought, and dedicated to the proposition that we should obtain an education. Now we are engaged in a great struggle testing whether that class or any other class so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met in the great assembly in that conflict. We are going to dedicate a portion of this theme to the pupils who met the problems and failed. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot concentrate enough for the benefit of these pupils. The studious scholars who have been successful, have concentrated far beyond our power of comprehension. The school will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here. It is for us, the successful, to carry on the remaining work, to whom those that failed were forced to surrender. It is rather for us to be determined to surmount the great task remaining before us—that we here take increased determination to subdue those problems by whom many students were conquered—that we here highly proclaim that we will master those studies—that this class under the guardianship of Prof. Alexander, shall have a new era of learning. The Value of Education Education in this day and age is more necessary than when our forefathers were living. The world is increasing in population and is doing things on a larger scale. Thus it needs educated people to keep pace with the rapid progress. Times are changing rapidly and great things are being accomplished. Employers are seeking efficient workmen. Every industry demands the highest of intelligence. Therefore everyone should get a good education in order to meet the competition. Some people say that it is useless to send their children, especially girls, on to college because as soon as they graduate they will probably get married. This is not a fair argument. Even though she does marry, a girl needs an education in order that her outlook on life will be brighter and that she may be better qualified to care for her home and children. In a few years it will be difficult to get any kind of work without having a good education. Even now business men require their employees to have a high school education. Therefore let us strive to get a higher education in order that we may be better prepared to take upon ourselves the great responsibility of modern life. —FLORENCE CURRY, ’30. 20 ►-
