least half or two-thirds of the students would subscribe if the price was moderate as it could easily be made. We advise then, the Senior Class of next year to consider this suggestion, as it would be a benefit to the school and could undoubtedly be made self supporting. 41 HE decline of the Lyceum the last few years is deplorable. Only a short time ago, it was one of the strong institutions of the school, but now the membership has diminished so that it numbers only a small per cent of the boys, and only a few of the members attend the meetings. The programs have been good for the most part, and there have been a few that were most excellent, but good programs accomplish little and benefit few, when the meetings are poorly attended. Perhaps, if the boys of the school realized the opportunities afforded them by the Lyceum, they would join, but most of them think that it is a kind of a goody- goody society and keep away. Let the members themselves attend a little more regularly, thereby setting a good example, and let them urge others to attend. If this is not done soon, the Lyceum will without a doubt, be numbered among the dead institutions of the school. J? UNCTUALITY is a subject that has often been discussed before, but a repetition will do no harm and we hope may do some good. We realize that many will say they know all about it, but the lesson has not been learned as is shown by the fact that every morning at eight o'clock, ten to thirty people can be seen hurrying, in an attempt to make an eight o'clock class. Of course, some of these demonstrations are unavoidable, but many of the people who are thus rushing are late frequently, without a justifiable reason. In the Assembly Room, tardiness or near tardiness is baneful to him who practices it. Many will linger to the last possible minute before the tardy gong rings, disregarding all warning signals. In nearly every class one can see people getting in the instant before the bell rings. This matter is not of vital importance now, but it is the time when pupils are forminghhabits that will cling to them through life, and if they form the habit of being late or nearly late to classes now, in all probability they will keep up this habit when they get out into the business world, where it will not be tolerated and where it will mean certain failure. Not only for their own good, but also for the reputation of the school, students should aim to overcome this habit, because business men seeing high school pupils habitually late will have little respect for the training that they have received and this will render the securing of a position by the grad- uate more difficult.

EDITORIALS S THIS volume goes to press, the SICKLE rounds out its eight- Wwm eenth year. During this time it has grown from a small thin , ,c . 1 Doha.-v.' -- book to its present size. As one looks through the issues that have gone before, it seems indeed as though there was nothing new under the sun. So the Board has decided to make some changes which will possibly make the SICKLE a little more at- tractive and a little more original, and which we hope will meet with your approval. As every one knows, the task of editing the SICKLE is too great for any one person unless he can spend his whole time at it. The editor must of necessity devote more time to his studies and other school duties than he can give to the SICKLE. Therefore, it is only fit- ting that he should acknowledge the help of the many good friends, with- out whose co-operation this book would be an impossibility. Among these are: the business managers and board of editors, from whose pens most of this book has come, Miss Schaible, who has been very obliging and who has given invaluable helpg the people who submitted drawings and whose fine work has given the SICKLE its attractive appearance, Mr. Finch and his efficient force: and last, but not least, Mr. Gallup, without whose help and experience this annual could not be published. OR some time it has been the custom in schools no larger than our own to support successfully a monthly paper, as well as publish an annual. The scope of our SICKLE might be enlarged by producing a smaller period- ical monthly and concluding at the end of the year with a special number much like the SICKLE of today. Or an independent monthly might be cre- ated with its own board of editors. This would not need to compete with the SICKLE, as it could chronicle the information of the happenings, jokes, athletics, etc., which are usually too old to be interesting by the time that they are published in the SICKLE. Furthermore we believe that in schools where there are two papers, the monthly acts as an assistant to the annual by developing the material that is in the school. The editors might be chosen for the whole year, or a different board for each month. The latter plan would give more people the benefit of the training and would perhaps be the better. As far as finances go, it would not need to have expensive half tones and line cuts, and thus one of the principal sources of expense would be eliminated. It could be made small and on inexpensive paper and at
