P riscilla Geiken Advisor ------------ ----- ---- M r . Charles E. Farnham SWEDE BREEZE With the September 15 issue the Swede Breeze began its third year of publication. The Swede Breeze staff, with a nose for news and an accent on keeping the readers happy, devoted all its efforts to publishing an interesting, readable paper. This mimeographed bi-weekly kept the students informed about news and views, sports activities, and the latest gossip about GHS. Money left from the sales of single copies of the paper was kept in circulation by the staff, who borrowed nickels to buy cokes, and paid back the change box the next day l?i. The high cost of living had its ettect on the Swede Breeze, too, for there wasn't enough money in the budget to have the paper printed. The staff's worries ended, however, when a new mimeo- graph was purchased by the school. Much of the credit for the popularity of this year's Swede Breeze goes to the efficient staff and C. E. Farnham, who acted as handyman, instructor, and advisor.
