Co-Chairmen Presidential Personality By JOAN KBEIN Defying the statement that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” is GHS’s new president, Robert Carlson, Bob, as he is known to all, spends nearly all his time, spare or otherwise, trying to think of ways to improve Senior while he is president of the student body. Some of his ideas are: to publish an annual (and we might add that he is doing a fine job) ; to have recreation rooms, which by printing time he will have already accomplished; to have more assem blies and open forums, and many other things which will greatly aid Senior if they can be carried out. If you want Bob to take an im mediate interest in you, just laugh. One of his favorite pastimes is listening to people’s laughs, and filing them in his mind for future reference. Or, you could serve him apple cider and barbecue, his fav orite food and beverage. When we asked Bob where he hoped to get his higher education, he said, “Well, if I ever get out Senior, I think I’ll go to State and study engineering.” Don’t worry about him getting out of Senior . . . Bob is one of the not-too-plentiful members of the honor roll who is privileged to wear a gold star. He is an avid sports fan, and a member of the varsity football team. One of his faorite topics, and one that is not foreign to him, is reminiscing about Boys’ State, which he attended this past summer. His .closing remark was, simply, “A good time was had by all.” Message Released by Supt. Smith Greetings! If I were a student at Senior High School in 1948, I should want to give iny time and attention to those things that count most. Knowing by the hard road of ex perience and observation somewhat of the demands of the world, 1 suggest a few of the things that will stand you in good stead: 1. Sound scholai^hip. Do not let anybody fool you into tbe belief that it is all right “)ust to get by.’' Future success either in college or in business will depend in no sinal' way upon acquiring a thorough knowledge of fundamentals and in establishing a habit of doing things well. Work consistently, intensivel.v and regularly upon your assign ments. 2. Student activitie-s. T s-houid engage in some school activity:— athletics, music, speech, publications, dramatics, student government or some other. No one ought to under take too many, but every one sliouh’ participate in something. It will afford a lot of pleasure and youi- lM)wers of leadei’shij) will find ex pression. .3. Friendship. I shouW seek t- know and have as a friend every bo.v and girl in school. You -ar help the other fellow many times and the reward will be far above your fondest expectations. Tin :reateat material and intangible benefits often come from the most unexpected sources. No investment will pay quite so well as courtesy. :onsideration, and helpfulness. Greet your fellow students cheerfully and seize every opportunity to show kindness and to render a favor. 4. Stamd up for your studimt officers and for the school faculty. All of us make mistakes, but your teachers and student leaders will be trying always to do that which is best for you and your school. You will be happier and things will go better if you stind behind those who are charged with responsibility. Tn the light of later experience you will find that they were right «and I he fault-finders were wrong. ;■>. Uphold the good name of your s-chool. No successful business was ever established upon knocking. Your school may not be perfect but it is yours- and there is infinitely more right with It than there i wrong. Magnify Its good points, help correct within the family its faults. Be a builder not a wrecker; lie a boosrer not a knocker. Praise will do more good than criticism. Make your school worthy and then .stand up and be counted in its lefense. Its graduates stand in the forefront; its reputation is for this year in your hands. For the normal boy and girl the public high school is the best possi ble educational experience. Nothing 'n the world is quite so important for you just now as being in school. Be sure you get from this brief ex perience the most that is possible for you to get. You pass this wav but once. Yours sincerel.v, B. B.
