Students and the Seasons.

In fact the years of students life in
high school are divided into four dis
tfnct seasons: Winter, spring, sum
mer, and fall.
student begins in his freshman
year. 1t is the winter, according to
his views, for the teachers howl about
and storm at him. He alone is the
object of their wrath He is literally
covered with work as the streets and
walks are covered with snow, and the
work of clearing path begins by dig
gingo. He becomes discouraged, as
anv human being would and thinks he
can not possibly go on for four years.
However, he struggles bravely on and
it is soon spring.
With the coming of spring hope is
revived. 1t is the sophomore year and
the results of his labor begin to show.
The grass becomes green, the path of
knowledge is no longer obstructed
with snow, and it is warm The stu
dents teachers now smile upon him,
making his work much less detestable.
He now thinks he can endure it for
several years more.
Summer, the junior year, brings the
greatest change of all. The tiny buds
of knowledge burst into full bloom and
the student thinks he is now as near
perfection as he will ever be. The gay,
happy life of summer is shown by the
students participation in school activi-
ties, parties, proms and the like. AS
all good things, the summer season
must sooner or later come to an end
and the student thinks school is not
bad place after all.
The long delayed senior year is now
at hand, and consequently the fall sea
SON. Fall is the most wonderful of the
four seasons. 1t is the season of the
harvest and the fruit gathering, when
the student, by graduation, gathers in
the fruit of many hours of toll. 1t is
his harvest. But as the leaves begin
to turn and the bright vegetation of
summer begins to fade, he looks back
upon the four seasons of his school
life with just tinge of sadness. Then
with a deep sigh he thinks to himself,
20! how / hate to leave it all"
You students who are in the winter,
spring or summer of your school life,
do not give up in despair or be too
severe in your criticisms of your les
sons or your teachers. You may not
think so now, but many of you will
find that, when you are at the harvest
in the fall, you, too, will look back
upon your school life and will think,
20! how / hate to leave it all"
MILTON MAXIM, '21.
One of the most wonderful novels
ever written, LES Miserables", was
shown at the high school movies this
last week. Together with two reel
comedy and an outing picture, this
feature program drew only a very
small crowd When we have boards
and organizations throughout the
country making stand for clean NOV
les, what a pity that the Wauwatosa
people cannot patronize to the fullest,
the cleanest movie shows in the coun-
try, those at the high school Great
care is taken in selecting the films
Ihey are always high class features
from the best companies, many of
them very recently dramatized An
outing picture or news weekly is
shown together with a good, clean
comedy. Good music and efficient run
nlng of the films insure a fine enter
lalnment for a Friday evening The
price is very small. Let the people of
WauWatosa make this a paying propo-
sltlon. Let us make it our stand for
clean movies.

m all cities throughout the United
states the present week is known as
Music Week. This fact enables me to
bring before the public the subject of
music in the Wauwatosa High School.
we have an orchestra that can COM
pete with any of the city high school
orchestras. The Glee Clubs are doing
notable work. Now that these facts
nave been told, why is it that our as
sembly is never filled when a concert
= given? is it because the people of
"auwatosa cannot enjoy an evenings
entertainment of fine musical compost
ions, or would they rather have the
popular jazz? Music is the language
VI inspiration; it increases thought
ana feeling, and it's effect on the mind
IS that of magic. To live without the
very best music, now that it is within
lne reach of all, is nothing short Of
stupid Indifference. The high school
orchestra is planning concert in the
near future. Citizens, come out and
See what the young people are doing.
Put Wauwatosa and her musical talent
on the map.
