EDITORIAL
‘HIGH LIFERS” BIRTHDAY
‘High Life” is one year old this
IS one
month! One year ago the students of G.
H. S. decided to publish a school paper, not
to teach journalism, but to afford means
for the students to express themselves, to
work for a better school spirit and a better
G. IL y. We know how well these things
were done; and to what extent the success
of the paper was carried.
Tt is the purpose of the staff this year to
keep up that standard, We believe that if
we have the support and co-operation of
the students that we can do this and make
“High Life” an even bigger success than
it was last year. We hope that in the ac
complishment of this purpose “High
Life’s” second birthday will be a happy
one.
A CAMPAIGN FOR STIFFER BACK
BONES
There are many forms of animal life
W'hich have limber backbones and many
that have stiff ones. There are even -some
that have none at all. But it is a generally
accepted fact that man must have one and
a stiff one, if he is going to make his mark
in the world.
He needs a backbone that will enable him
to buck up to and overcome the obstacles
which present themselves in his path to
success; aud by success we mean not only
success in business, but spiritual and mor
al as well. The elements which enter into
the makiug of a stiff backbone are not put
into it by doing the right tliiiig for reward
or because the group which influences you
is doing it, but by doing tln^-riglit thing
because it is the right thing, regardless of
influence, reward or punishment.
AVe think it is just as hard to be mean
in the big sense of the word as it is to be
good in the good sense of the word, not the
goodie good. It is so very easy to be mean
in the little mean sense of the word. Talk
ing behind the teacher’s back in a study
period when you know that it is safe to do
so, and that you wont be caught; doing the
sneaking, cowardly thing because the
crowd is doing it; shooting a boy with a
pin from behind so that neither he nor the
teacher can see who did it. If you really
want to be mean, shoot him before his and
the teaclier’s faces and take the result as
a man and not as a cad.
It takes a real man to do the right thing
when he knows that nobody will ever know
that he did it, and when he never expects
any reward for doing it. The man who
does the right thing, regardless of what
his companions are doing, is the man who
who will enforce and add to the spirit that
has made old G. 11. S. what it is. The man
who can do this is the man you will find
out there on the football field in the scrub
team, taking the hard knocks, when he
knows that he will not make the team, just
to form the opposition that will make the
first team a hard and successful one.
‘HIGH LIFE” RECEIVES
DISTINCTIVE RECOGNITION
“High Life” received a distinction this
summer of which the students and friends
of the High School may be justly proud.
A class at Columbia University was study
ing High School Journalism, and our own
paper was one among thirty-five high
school newspapers which received their
consideration. Later, in listing these pa-

pers as a suggested exchange list the class
called particular attention to ten publica
tions, and “High Life” was one of the
ten!
Just wliat caused our paper to take
rank with those from high schools in Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Cleveland
and New York was not stated. However,
we feel sure that aside from the worth of
the publication, the splendid high school
spirited fostered and reflected therein was
a determining factor. Our staff this year
is just as capable of producing a good pa
per as the staff last year. May the student
body furnish them the inspiration of whole-
liearted support and genuine high school
spirit. Jane Summerell.
At the first meeting of the Senior Class,
the officers for the coming year were elect
ed. They were as follows:
President Hubert Rawlins
Vice-President Nellie Irvin
Secretary Grey Fetter
Treasurer Max Barnhardt
Historian Margaret Smith
Prophet Charlie Hinkle
l^oet ’ Mildred Leak
Cheer Leaders—Lucile AA^ynne, Harold
Sebum.
Press Reporter James AVilkins
Testator Ruth Underwood
Statistician Frances Harrison
The election of class orator was post
poned until later in the year in order to
select one of those who show talent in de
bating and declaiming.
JUNIORS EXPECT GREAT YEAR
The Junior Class met October 4th in
Room 101 for the purpose of electing offi
cers and attending to all business. The re
port of the nominating committee was
heard and then two more were nominated
from the floor. In all cases the officers
were elected from those nominated from
the floor. The officers are as follows:
Carlotta Johnson, President; Robert Irvin,
Vice-President; Leonard Temko, Secre
tary; Bill Jones, Treasurer. Flower and
Motto Committee were appointed by the
president and the class elected Miss Smith
and Air. Charles Phillips as honary mem
bers. Student government and other vital
■issues of school were discussed.
The speeches and the interest shown by
the class point to a banner year among the
I third classmen.
