The Whisp. the high school paper,
is slowly progressing. but none the
less surely toward the completion
Ct the Thanksgv number. The
members Of the staff have entered
INTO their work with zsst charac-
teristic of the hign school. The only
spot in the ointment is the fact that
the student body. as a whole, has
not lived up 10 the earlier cNpec,a-
tions. However. in view Of the pres
unt conditions. the Whlsp considers
itself fortunate in securing approx
imately eight hundred subscriptions
for the term.
The business department Of the
whisp under the leadership Of James
MacRobert, together with the able
assistance Of Murray Hanson, Is pro-
crossing in a manner which is most
encouraging TO the members of the
staff. From present Indications, the
business staff OF the Whisp Is far
above the usual standard. Louis
Jacobson, in charge Of the circula-
ton department of the Whisp is
striving to reach the goal Of fifteen
hundred subscribers which was set
earlier in the term. He is especi-
ally anxious to secure additional
subscriptions from the Freshman
class who. as a whole, have fallen
down in their quota. There are ru-
mors about the school that the
Whisp has in store several pleasing
surprises for the freshmen. II is re-
ported that one Of them is a iivsn.
men class picture which is TO be tax
en- early next week.
The Whisp store has awakened a
great deal Of interest Throughout
the. school and is well patronized by
the student body. The store has OF

the annex at the usual prices al

/ erasures pencil sharpeners, no

tain pens. The Buy at Home" slo
gan is contagious. It Is gratifyinl
to note that the new Whlsp pencil

/ accorded TO novelties. The pencil

task ahead OF II this term in print
ing three issues Of the paper. bu
the members Of the staff are lookin

opinion is that they will succeed.
