THE IIIVICICSIIJE 5 EDITORIAL BOARD The If1'l'l?l'Sl.d!? begins another year cf iln existence. May it live long, aiid bloom often! A school paper is one of tho best indications of a pros- perous and well centered school. It serves as a medium which draws the schofas abd ho1irc.s clcser together. It Lifes an opportunity for several of the scholars who have an aptitude for x.1'itiaig? and literary work to receive thcix flint patronage. It is also a convenient may in which to perpetu- ate the athletic teams and their records. On January 26, 1928, an evening session of the school was held from 7:00 to 8:30, to give those parents and friends an opportunity to visit the school, who ordinarily were un- able to do so through the regular sessiong and to give the citizens of the town a chance to see how the school is conducted and the progress that is

6 THE RIVERSIDE being made. This was combined With the January meeting of the Parent- Teacher Association, and about seventy visitors were present. We feel that this meeting was benencial to both the visitors and students in increasing interest in school affairs, and that it should be made an annual affair. PARENT-TEACHERS We, the students of W. H. S., con- gratulate the Parent-Teachers Asso- ciation on the line interest they have taken in the schcol this year. They have already raised a small sum for the erection of a new school building. This does not seem very large compared to the price of a new school house, but as the old saying goes, Great oaks from little acorns grow. A. W. L., '28. WHY? Why? What? That is what most people will say when they glance at this. Why is a high school education necessary for success in life? Some few are successful in procur- ing good jobs Without a high school education, but they are what you might call the Lucky few. Does it pay to spend four years in high school? This is the question that con- fronts most students upon graduating from grammar school. 70fZJ will say no -they are so eager to earn a few dollars, but the one who says yes and receives a high school diploma has a 100W better chance for success than the one who says no because out of every 100 pupils who enter the fifth grade only 13 graduate from high school. A. W. L., '28. IGNORANCE It is better to be unborn than u'1- taufjht, for ignorance is the root to misfortune. This is a quotation froom a great man who lived years ago, and this statement is very true. 90fZp of the crimes committed tcday are done by ignorant people, it has been said. Ignorance is bliss, it is often said, but every child should be taught about Worldly matters and should be set on the right track by his or her parents. A. W. L., '28. NOW Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today, but a great ma- jority of people do. You often hear people say, Better late than never, but this is practiced so much that it is a sort of habit and a habit is the hardest thing in the world to break. It is better to make a practice of being on time or a little ahead of time and your success in life will reach a higher degree. I owe all my success in life to always being a quarter of an hour ahead of time. -Lord Nelson. A. W. L., '28.
