THE LOG The Garfield Log, the first publication of the Garfield High School, made its appearance November 25, 1925. The paper was produced and published under the direction and supervision of Miss Bell, and bore the temporary title of the Garfield Newsf' The paper was entirely hand set by members of the printing classes, under the direction of Mr. Brooks. By the time the third issue appeared, the permanent title of The Garfield Logn had been selected as a tribute to James A. Garfield. The term, log, is of deep significance. The mariner,s log is the record of a ship's progress over seas, and shows how fast it travels and how far it goes. When James A. Garfield was a student in the Williams College, he said of its president, Mark Hopkins, A log with a student on one end and Mark Hopkins on the other, is my ideal of a college. The Garfield Log, therefore, may be considered a record of the progress and achievement of the school, and the symbol of an ideal school. Editorial Staff Editor-in-chief ........

One Clay Miss Stejskal, our English teacher, suggested that our room have a column in the Garfield Log. This suggestion met with approval by the students of Home Room 326. After some discussion the editor and assistant were appointed and other officers elected. Miss Bell. head of the English Department, took lively interest in the column. Then one day Miss Bell suggested that we have a room magazine of our own. This also met with approval, and that is how our magazine started. For the first number, which appeared on March 19th, the contributions came almost wholly from the B8 English class of Home Room 326, but since that time there has been active participation by all three Junior Division grades, the seventh, eighth, and ninth. The articles have ranged from editorials of a more serious nature to jokes, including original poems, compositions, and a mystery serial. The Editorial Staff Edit0r.in.Chief ,... ,.......,..
