WHO TO PATRONIZE. w wish to call the atten- tion of the students and readers of the Owl, to ■ the advertisements in this issue, and we assure you that the publishers will consider it a personal favor, if you will patronize the merchants who have supported, and helped to make this High School HE Owl, fifteen or twenty years from now, will be valued above money, by the students who happen to have one.
