This, the second issue of the “Osky Wow” demands no introduction, nor do we feel bound to offer any apologies for its existence, as the publication speaks for itself. Since it is one of the chief motives of this annual to delineate the diverse interests of the pupils of the High School as true to life as is possible, we have done so, even at the risk of laying ourselves open to criticism by those who know no better. However, our advice is, if you like this annual, tell us and your neighbor, but if you are dissatisfied, keep it to yourself for there is something serious the matter with you. The Name There has been some disapproval expressed at the retention of the name “Osky Wow” for this year’s edition. The chief objection being, that the name possesses no intrinsic meaning and that one having a concrete or at least a suggestive significance be adopted. The writer’s opinion is, that outside of its value as a part of the school yell, its novelty (a salient point to be considered in the naming of such a paper) should recommend its use, for the oddity overbalances its abstractness, so that on the whole the name is highly suitable. Hence let it continue to be the “Osky Wow” into the future. That Monthly Paper It was thought at first that the annual would be replaced this year by a monthly paper, devoting the May Issue to the Senior Class alone. This is an excellent idea and should be reconsidered again next year, as such a publication is very conducive to keeping alive a comradeship and cultivating an interest in the school. But at the same time it is difficult to perceive how such a paper could be established on a sound financial basis and also preserve our reputation for quality. However, it is hardly for us to cast barriers in the way of its projection. A Word about Class Pins As stated in the Senior Class history, the pins were purchased while the class was still in the Junior division. We only did what others have done before us, i. e. we fell under the influence of an oilytongued agent, who, by the dispensation of properly placed favors (we’ll not designate them in stronger terms) secured our order. The consequence: We paid double and got one-half value received. In our case considerable discontent was the result as the pins were not at all satisfactory. Such has been the experience also with other classes in regards to invitations, etc, and is likely to be the result of purchasing through itinerant agents, in all other cases. Do not be over anxious for your class pin, you will get it all too soon any way. But put it off till the Senior rank is attained, ponder well over the design wanted and then purchase through a home jewelry concern.
