SPAULDING SENTINEL" OUT.
Excellent School Paper Makes Bow to
the Public.

To an audience of students, teachers
former teachers, alumni, and host OF
other friends, including ex-students with
! tender recollections of student days, the
Spauldng Sentinel made its bow to-day
Clothed in blue jacket that the eye can
stare at without blinking, the new school
magazine is veritable wellspring of in
formation. Scrutiny of its even para
graphs, well rounded sentences and neat
| Typography makes one wonder that the
| Spaulding of more mature years has been
so long without regular medium of ex-
pressing that for which the institution
stands, along with chronicling the dongs
of workaday student body and faculty.
Weeks of busy preparation find their
| fruitage in the first Sentinel, and the
makers have set a pace which will re-
quire the stiffest sort of endeavor to
maintain in succeeding issues. The COW
er piece is an etching by Henry i. Va
netti, and represents watchtower and
battlement. Overhead flies the Stars
and Stripes, and under the folds of the
banner stands a sentinel looking out to
sea. Lest an enemy sail escape his vigil
ance, second watcher in the regimentals
of the U. S. A. stands on the bridge be-
low. 1t is an artistic design and its ex
cellence quite in accord with the fnesse
to be noted in the pages that follow.
The frontspiece is a familiar halftone
of Spaulding high school, with the Burns
memorial in the foreground A directory
containing the names of the faculty and
the officers of each class is on the fly
leaf and the first page gives the names
of The Sentinel committee, terms 40
cents each, so cents per annuml, the
school calendar and the contents. One
learns at this juncture who is responsible
for so fine journalistic effort.
The committee is given as follows:
Vivien Marion, IS, literature; Made
line Mcdonald, 'lS, locals; Dean Davis,
Is, athletics; Hildreth Martin, 'lS, So
cial; Laurence Campbell, Is, advertise
ments; Frank Wells, 10, juniors; Cor
inne Eastman. 20, sophomores; John
Gauld, 81, freshmen; Miss Harriet Hous
ton, 'I3, alumni.
1t is not too much to reproduce the |
opening paragraph of the salutatory; |
"The function of a sentinel is quite as |
often one of mere ceremony as one of |
arduous duty 1t viii be happy thing |
for Spaulding and the gentle Tor fero-
,iousl reader if The Spaulding Sentinel
,an combine both parts, accomplishing
gracefully the ceremony of standing
guard before large public school and
IF looking pleasant and portly while the
gala functions are carried on wthin--or
,ternly challenging Frivolity, Careless
less, and Sloth when they seek admit
ance at the North Portal and Gelent
essly turning away all undesirables who
lnow not the watchword, Loyalty and
Duty"
