Editorial.
The members of the Journalism
Glass. have launched their first craft
on the sea of Journalism in this
issue of the High School News.
They may feel justly proud of. Their
attempt, far, as years go on and
Journalism becomes an established
study in the curriculum of the Hlgn
School, they will undoubtedly 4
that their ~initiatory efforts have
eliminated in a real, thriving High
school paper, known not only for
is well-written articles, but for the
wholesome spirit manifested thru
It's columns. This is their greatest
hope and ambition.
The High School News will de-
vote itself to those activities wmcn
are of the greatest values and IN
terest in the life of the Ely High
School and promote, thru It's col
umns; any worthwhile improve
ments which the student body can
effectively carry out.
Just how successful the paper
will be depends not only upon the
ability and perseverance OF the
staff, but also upon the cooperation
of the student body. Unless the
students work with the staff II
making the paper n OF the nlgh-
est standard, the efforts OF the lat-
ter will have been in VAIN. II any
student has AN item which he
deems suitable for publication in
the columns of the High School,
| News, he is asked to place this item
in the news-box which has been up
near the bulletin board.
More news means more interest,
more interest means better work;
better work means greater develop
ment and growth and we want to
grow! So for the sake of our good
| old Ely High, get out and Hustle.

Today there is more adequate
means by which we car learn what
