Editorial Another year, another semester, and another chance to make good. Are we going to take advantage of this chance or just pass it by? Many of us have failed to do our best during the past semester. We have let things come and go as they might. We have not done our part toward making our school better. If we intend to be proud of our school, we will have to do our part When we have finished school, we should like to look back and be proud of our school days, because we were one of the bolts that held the machine together. If we are one of the bolts, we can't be loose. We must keep to our standard and do our best If the bolts become loose, the machine cannot hold together. If we do not do our best, what will become of the school? This new semester gives us an other chance to be better students, and make our school a better one. Let us make use of this chance by starting out the new semester right Let us do our best in keeping our work up, in getting our assignments and In supporting our school. We cannot be the beat in the class per haps; but we can do as the poet, Douglas Mallach, advises: "If you cant be a highway, then just be a trail, If you can't be the sun, be a star; It isn't by size that you win, or you fail; Be the best of whatever you are."
