The Qpportunity ls Yours Some day when you have ,ae minute to spare, take time to look at the picture and bronze tablet outside th-epart room door. The picture is that of Harry Lloyd Miller, founder and first principal of Wiscoiisiii High School. On the tablet there is a quotation from one of his books, which reads: Education is not bestowedg' it must be everlastingly achieved. Q This sentence represents the- lineart of Mr. Mil1er's educational philosophyg it also represents an ideal for which VVisconsin High School has always stood. As you read it, what should it mean to you, undergraduate students, and to you, seniors of the Class of 1944? It means this: No one can ever force youi to learng you are the learnersg the initiative rests with you. And you learn only in proportion as you want to learn., . We are all proud of our school's tradition of freedom. You have found fewer restraints here than you might have expected to find. You have found a maximum of opportunity to learn-in the classroom and in other school activities. Some misunderstand what we mean by freedom and make questionable use of the opportunities afforded them here. However, all of us, students and faculty, feel that wel learn the most when the stimulus comes from within ourselves and not from little bits of education administered in daily doses+-forced feeding, as it were! Freedom without direction is bad. An orderly freedom, with the learner growing in responsibility and in capacity for self-direction, is our ideal. The practice of this kind of freedom pays richf dividends. Weare proud of you, seniors and undergraduates, when you make wise use of the freedom which' is yours. VVe are doubly proud of our students of other years who are contributing to this hard job of making the world a more decent place. Some day some one will write the history of the part which our boys and girls are playing in the armed forces and as civilians. The story of creditable achievement is already one to make us glad that this is our school. Burr W. Phillips Page Six

' THE FACULTY The members of the XA7isconsin High School faculty have a twofold task, they must produce good students and at the same time train the participators to be good teachers. As most faculty members will admit, this is a difficult job-both because of ns and because of the participators. The faculty members must be doing their part, however, for Wiscoiisiii High School has a fine record for a school of its size. Mr. Eye has done much to improve our school during his three years as principal. He has two new members of the staff to assist him: Mr. Bent, who with his ever present good humor, executes his duties as assistant principal and director of guidance to the satisfaction of all, and Miss Howdle, our secretary, who handles the intricate affairs of the office very eapably. Mrs. Zaeske continues to conduct the library with her infinite patience and ever- ready smile. The science department is represented by four able and experienced teachers: Miss Wfeber, who teaches her students the secrets of a frog's interior, Mr. Davis, who delves in the mysterious physical world, Mr. Kivlin, who teaches his students how to produce corn, and Mr. Porter who manages to develop brilliant young chemists-malthongh not without some loss of equip- ment judging by the occasional resounding crashes which emanate from the 12:30 chemistry class.
