With this issue the present editorial
staff turn the high school notes" ov-
e. to their successors, who will be
BESSIE Hogeland, 'O6. Ruby Clifford,
'07 Frank Wright, '0S. and Maggie
Woods. 'o9. We have tried to keep
our work up to the standard set by
those who preceded us and feel GER
tain that the future of this depart
ment of the school work will see an
improvement over what We have done.
Last year the hign school column of
the Argus contained only the news
OF the school. This year it contains
far more than that. We were dsap-
pointed at the commencement of the
school year in not being able to start
a school paper. but the space allowed
us by the Argus is sufficient to give
the editors an opportunity to embody
in "nigh school notes many of the
features of such a paper. There is
an eagerness vigorous. joyous en-
ergy to school life which is some
times lacking in the outside world.
If we can impart to that world some
of the spirit with which we do our
school work we will have done GER
tain amount of good.
In the work of the editors, especial
~ the editOr-in-clief. there is practi-
cal training which will be of Value
in future years and this work should
be welcomed by those upon whom the
honor of editorship is bestowed by
their class. There is work connected
with the position, but it is pleasant
work and gives fine opportunity to
develop any special talent for news
paper work. The more that is given
in the form of articles the better so
long as the articles are upon subjects
of present interest and written by high
school pupils. Articles written volun-
tarily by those not on the staff are
OF added value. There is no danger
OF there being nothing to write about,
for there is enough of interest con-
nected with our school to fill volumes.
There should be hearty cooperation
on the part of the student body, and
the editors should feel that they are
backed by the school. The aim of
high school notes should be an ex
preston of the life and spirit of the
school.
An interesting debate was argued
in the ancient history class Monday
