DOVER HIGH SFHOOL 21 1. to the new board of editors its most hearty wishes for all success during the coming year. From all prospects the LoTL's will be clear of debt and the slate wiped clean for a fresh start in September. In closing, the Editor wishes to extend his most hearty apprecia- tion to the members of the stat? for their faithful co-operation in pub- lishing eight issues of the Lo'1'L's during the past school year of IQI4-15. FINALE VVell, it is all over! That annual High School show, known this year as Under Four Flags. And it was a howling success. To Miss Mabel Tebo, Miss Lodge and Miss Moore, we owe our most sincere appreciation for their diligent work. Miss Tebo, the au- thor of the sketch and trainer of the choruses, rendered her services as an alumnus of D. H. S., free of charge. Miss Lodge and Miss Moore faithfully attended all practices, and their services were indis- pensable. VVe also wish to extend our thanks to Miss Frances DeWitt and Messrs. Wim. Clark, Maurice NVyatt and XVm. McBride, all of whom so willingly gave their excellent talent for our benefit. As a result of our hard work, in preparation for this musical com- edy, we cleared the neat sum of one hundred and forty dollars. With this we will be able to pay most of our debt incurred during the past year. Last year the 'fFunny Moonl' earned us a reputation, and such a successful production as Under Four Flags established this reputation in such a way that all succeeding entertainments given by Dover High must be of excellent caliber.

The Thirteen Colonies were helpless against England until bound together by the Declaration of Independence, then, in the Revolution, they threw off the yoke of oppression forever. As in great countries, so in schools- unity spells progress. This issue also closes the sixth year in the career of the Lorcs, and in this time, through the diligent efforts of each board of editors, our little paper has improved, step by step, while, in most cases, the majority of the student body stood quietly by and looked on. Unity between the LOTUS staff and the student body has been wanting for several years, so next year let us get together and supply this want. Team work is what counts on all successful athletic teams, and team work is what counts in publishing a successful high school paper. Next year, let us have team work, and make it a banner year in the career of the LOTUS. In laying down our work for the present year, the staff extends
