HIGH SCHOOL i..:FE
THE SENIOR CLASS
It is very often hard to determine
what is best to do, and the
thing to do is very often tb.e hardest
thing to a.ccormplish. .Many people
sit idle beca.use they flinch at sacri-
fice and effor t. What would be ac-
complished in th.is world if we all as-
sumed the s1me attitude? Some one
must shoulder the responsibility,
why not you? Som-e one must put
their shoulder to th.e wheel and .push
tl:; ngs a long.
Ther e :-tr e 1some students in the
high s.ch.ool who have .seen that the
on!y way to .aocom.plish a nything is
to go ahead and do it, and not
for the other fellow. W.hat ! you can't
guess wh.1? Why, it' the p eppiest
most entlJ.nsiastic c lass in the whole
school, the of course. If any
one doubts the .sincerity or truth of
tha.t we chialtenge a ny
class in school to di splay more
pep th:<tn t he senior ola,ss will dis-
play.
There was a meeting t his week of
t hat cl.ass a nd oh! if walls ha.d ears !
To secure any SChool spirit, there
must llirst of a ll 'be a strong

it on. If we hav e all the
individuals in a class.,

co-oper-
a ting then it is very easy to unite
the class s pirit to one st:ronz, oentraJ
s pirit nepresenting . all t he students
of the school. This is wh.at the s-en -
iors a re working to accomplish. An-
other la rge entering, is com-
peFUon. If ,here is nothing to work
for, noth.ing will be accomplished.
There/ must ibe rivaJry and competi-
tors must be su evenly matched .th.at
there will be strong enough compet-
i ' ion to cr eate a St c'Ong and loyaJ
spkit. That is why th.e seniors a r e

will be enough compet'tion and ri-
valry to cr eate a class spirit- ihence
