1990.0hloo't. Pag’e 4 —H. P. H. S. ALUMNI REVIEW— April, 1925 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. MAKE MONEY WITH STEPHEN C. CLARK IN HIGH POINT REAL ESTATE - .
