IK THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD EDITORIALS FOND MEMORIES The coining of June brings to a close a school year, but for the graduate it brings to a conclusion a period in his life which he will never be able to relive again, except through memories. When he leaves high school and goes out into the world, he flings away the cloak of youthfulness and the carefree ways he has known, and prepares himself to enter a life where he must accept definite responsibilities and where he must carry out the future he planned during his school years. High school days will bring memories—some happy, some sad. He will recall tasks done well, and others not so well done. He will feel a warm glow when he thinks how each of his classmates at sometime or other during his school years helped him, how a group of boys and girls united into a class formed a background for the sense of security and friendly co-cperativeness he had always felt when he thought of his classmates. As the years roll on, he may not remember each individual experience, but as a whole his high school days will be one very dear, very heart-warming memory. He may think of his classmates as they appeared on graduation night, and he may feel pity for some who have lost that glow that shone in their eyes that night so long ago as they dreamed their dreams of success. On the other hand he may point with pride to others who have reached the pinnacle of success. Yes, he will stop occasionally to relive memories, memories that go back to gradu¬ ation night when he received his diploma, his passport into manhood, his admission ticket into the world ' s greatest theatre—Life. Elsif. Colo ' 47 WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington is the only city in the United States that is built in the form of a wheel. The Capitol, White House, and Supreme Court Building form the hub. The avenues are named after states, and the streets are numbered. The Capitol is a very interesting building. Guides take spectators on a tour through it. The Rotunda, which is an enormous round room, has pictures of all the presidents. There are historical pictures, such as Washington Crossing the Delaware and The Signing of the Declaration of Independence, which are almost life size. The floor is designed with state seals. The Supreme Court building is a large white edifice with impressive pillars. The steps are across the entire front ot the building. The Court Room, where cases are heard, is rather small so everything can be seen and heard. The attorneys and spectators face the nine judges who are clothed in black robes. Each of these judges has a page. The White House, the home of the President, stands on a square block in the center of a park. Guards are posted around it, and at certain hours spectators may tour the building. Anyone who has ever visited or even read about Washington, D. C., will agree that it is a very unusual and beautiful city. Because Washington is considered the center of our democracy, many schools go there on class trips. Betty Byrnes ' 48 (WsSe d
