ANNIVERSARY NUMBER OF
 SCHOOL PAPER IS OUT

Meeting praise from all sides, the Gastineau Breeze, Douglas High School paper, for it's anni- versary edition celebrating tle 30th year of the establishment of the high school, was being distributed today. Eight pages of cuts and ar- ticles, the paper is twice the usual size and reflects credit on the edi- torial staff and their advisors.
 Pre-eminent on the front page is picture depicting the artists conception of the proposed new school building according to plans drawn, and articles follow describ- ing the need of such building. The defects and inadequacies of the present school house are also shown up and they quite definitely emphasize the urgent need of a new one. The paper itself would more than seem to reflect the kind of an institutional background for such an issue, as the one proposes.
