rffJVWrA OLfS COLLCCTIOK The Alumni Speak The Cardinal is with us once more. The editors have spent long, weary hours conjuring up diabolically clever “grinds which they have carefully inserted beneath the unsuspecting picture of each beloved class-mate. These same editors have made stealthy entrance into the treasury of each organization in the school, and have departed, bearing additional tribute t- the shrine of the class book. Scientific hold-up methods have been employed, that the voracious subscription list might be satisfied. Hut it’s all in the game, for we must have the Cardinal. 1 am asked to write a greeting from the Alumni. Having received no commission from the aforesaid Alumni, but clad only with the authority vested in me by the managing editor. I proceed to my task without further apology. The Alumni of East High arc quite agreed on one point, which is that their Alma Mater must assert herself once more in the various branches of interscholastic competition. East High has not been highly successful in her debates and athletic contests of the past four or five years. It has oft been said that mere winning does not constitute success. But victory usually represents superiority over rivals and surely East High should excel in some competitive branch of inter-scholastic activity. The activities of a High School, outside the curriculum requirements, are carried on for the benefit of the largest number. They are justified and only become successful when a great many contribute to their development and partake of their benefits. The Alumni hope that a developing spirit of unselfishness will result in greater glory and more noteworthy successes for East High. William W. Hodsox. Four V •«
