The Silver Il.

The Silver Il.
The award of the silver b is truly an
honor. for to obtain it a pupil must have
shown himself to be proficient in school
activities. School activities may well be
divided into scholarship, athletics and
class or society activities. Although the
silver L could be obtained on scholarship
alone no one ever has obtained it that
way and it is not desirable that one
should. for grind comes far from
making the best type of man or woman.
In the same way r could be obtained
by athletics alone but here, too, such has
never been the case and we hope such
will not be the case for strong body
and a weak mind is as bad as n strong
mind and Il very weak body. Finally, of
course. there is the chance that Il
might be obtained by class activities alone,
but this possibility is Immediately over
ruled by the fact that no one could ever
become sufficiently popular to obtain 10
honor units from class activities who was
not at all proficient i'll scholarship or the
least interested in athletics. The fact
that a b has never been obtained by par
ticipation in one activity alone is the
reason why it is considered such an honor.
The wearer of a silver Il should be an
''aIl-round" person. 1t is very probable
that at some time in the future the Stu
dent Council may make such a ruling that
it will be impossible to obtain the silver
through participation in single school
activity.
Everybody admits that the Outing
club is good thing. Having admitted
It is a good thing, why not follow it up?
