SURE SOME "PEP"

The December, and initial number
OF Pep" Highland Park high school S

is with pleasure we review such a
nice little publication.
With an editor-in-chief and five as
sociates, four managers and repre-
sentative for each of the four grades,
the staff is complete, and no doubt
very effective.
Some very clever "stuff" is used in
the 80 pages the magazine contains,
among which is the poetic greeting
by b. Zimmerman which we take the
liberty OF quoting:
Pep is the thing
That this school needs most
Pep is the thing
OF which other schools boast;
In football or basketball,
Baseball or gym,
Pep is the thing that will
Help us TO win.
A man full of Pep,
With a smile on his face,
Is the kind of fellow
That fills the worlds taste;
In high school, in business,
1All branches OF life,
Pep is the thing that
We need in our strife"
