back to the old home town to live
AFTF:U living in tho old home town throughout
our high school careers, and pr-b-bly throughout our
grammar school days, when we prepare to go off to
college there is a feeling that we will perhaps not
make our home in the city .after our education is com
pleted. Tho old town never offered opportunities that
we would have liked to have had, we say to ourslevss,
and we conclude that it is the most backward and un
inviting place in the world.
But it is true aAer the college day.s are over, a
vast percentage of the young men and women who
got theij education at the local high school return oO
fligh Point to enter upon business of life. In some
instances...they so.iourn for v while in some other city,
pursuant to their college career, but they u.sually
wind up by coming back home to the town they know
end have learned to love. They return, after having
found 'otit that opportunity is largely a creation of the
individual and big men, in every business, profession,
and avocaticn, are feund in small toevns as well as big
cities.
In THE LIGHT of thi.s fact, it behooves H. P.
fi. S. Alumni .away at college to reconcile themselves
to the predhminant possibility that they will take up
ijreir life work in the city of their Alma Mater. They
Vhould keep in touch with activities in the home, so
I5rder that they m.ay better know it. Let them preserve
ihe frier dships and associations back home, so that
that \vhcn they return they may enter into life intell
igently and enjoyably.
That cpllegu boys and girls cannot resist the call
cf the’'ol'd *hbme town is a healthy tendency. What •
cruVl. b» •mo'.’e» retarding than a population com.posed
•erdircly of people who- spent their impressionable
days foreign to the city and have not grown up to
dinow the city or feel a native pride in its progre.ss?
To be good citizens, people must understand the
.place in -which fhey live.
