The school year of 1915 is past.
Thirteen young people stand upon the
threshold of new life, some to take
up advanced school duties, others to
take up the more stern but the no less
duties of life The students
and faculty scatter for their summer
vacation. We believe all have done
their past years work to the very best
of their ability. Our schools, both pub
lie and High, have made, rapid strides
OF advancement, perhaps never before
has there been less friction between
student body and teachers and this
has been because of the active self
sacrificing work of our teachers.
1t is probably unnecessary for US
to call the attention of those who have
the employing of the teachers for an
other year to the fact that the teachers
the past year have given literally of
their time and strength for the ad-
Varcement of the schools and we feel
that if they can be induced to stay
that it would be unwise at this time
to make any changes in the faculty
and especially is this true of Prof.
Young and Prof. Lanning 1t would
be difficult indeed to find others who
could take their places and we believe
we speak the sentiment of at least a
large percentage of the patrons of the
school when we ask for their return to
us for another year.
