COMPARISON OF HIGH
SCHOOL PAPERS PROVE
OLYMPIA IS GROWING

A PROOF tnaC olympia is growing
is a comparison of the first High
School paper with the present one
In October 1902 the first Olympia
High School paper was published,
then under the name of "The Olym'
pia Hi Review. This paper had
twenty pages including the advertis-
ing and was published monthly un-
til one of the editorials contained
this epitah, "It has been decided by
the board of directors, owing to the
low state of our treasury, to publish
but one more issue of the Review
after this one." Considering the
business staff one is surprised that
happened:
Business manager, Frank Mount.
Subscription agent, Roscoe Fuller.
ton; Advertising agent Thad Pierce;
Treasurer, John Pierce; The rest OF
the staff contains just such celebri-
ties: Editor in chief, Marian
Blankenship; Literary editor, Alice
Yantis: Athletic editor, H. Swain
Personal editor, Halle Pierce; Elk
change editor. William Manner:
Music editor Geraldine De Croucley;
News editor, Albert Emerson.
There were twenty-six advertisers
in this paper and but one picture. The
present High School paped is pub
lished semi-monthly, in newspaper
form, and at the end Of the year an
annual containing complete sum-
many of the school activitiesh for
the year, is edited. The sem-monthly
paper is real newspaper printed on
real newspaper paper; 1t is six col
|umns wide and has from four to sly
pages. There are from fifty to ninety
advertisers, and the annual of last
year contained two hundred and
twenty pictures, cartoons etc.
This paper. "The Olympus,
gives a complete account of the
school events as they occur, written
by the Journalism class. This class
was a new organization last year
and is under the dictatorship Of L.
P. Brown, high school principal. The
STAFF for this years paper has not
yet been chosen, but will be after
the first issue is published, which
is to be on or near October first
For the Alumni of the High School
and town people interested in "See.

better way to do SO, than to go to

ENJOY HUNTING SEASON
IN FORD TOURING CAR
Is Slogan Personifled in Window OF
l.. e. Titus Garage on East
Fourth Street.

"Take a Ford and enjoy the hunt
ing season " is a slogan which is
personified In the two show windows
Of the L. E. Titus company on East
Fourth street, Ford distributors for
Olympia and Thurston county. II
one has not seen the splendid dis
play It will be we'll worth their while
to walk past the garage and view the
windows.
In one window there is typical
camping scene. perfect in every de-
tail. In the center of the window
stands a new Ford touring car, to
which is attached tent and two
army cots with kodaks and hunting
toys thrown on them are set up In
array Of fishing tackle and hunting
paraphenhalia strewn about which
gives the appearance Of actual habi-
tation. A table completely set with
tin dishes, cups, and other utensils
seen near the machine. A small
camp stove, upon which are kettles
and frying pans occupies place
near the table,. A number of Mall
ard ducks piled in stack conveys
the idea to one that the days hunt
has been successful. Evergreens
and maple leaves form a pretty and
appropriate background for the dis
| play.
Wild Animals Lifelike.
The other window pictures wild
animals in their abode. The entire
window space is thickly decorated
with small evergreen and maple
trees. A bear, deer, pheasants and
owls, looking almost real, can be
seen peering from out Of the trees
and thicket.
The windows were decorated by
various members of the garage none
claiming all the praise for the idea
which is SO appropriate for this
time of the year.
/ All the animals used in the forest
scene were donated for the occasion
by friends of the l.. f. Titus garage
While on the subject of Ford cars 1t
is interesting to know that the Ford
plant had an output last month OF
100000 cars, according to the Ford
monthly bulletin There is marked
increase in sales throughout the U.
s. since the recent drop in prices
The bulletin states that there Will
