1 0 History of the Red and Blue ln the fall of 1911, Clive Morrison, a member of the class of 1913, conceived the idea of having some kind of school publication. Accordingly. in Gctober. a small, four-page paper called the Red and Blue was published. The name was suggested by l'aul -I. Cook, '12, who was secretary of the paper and wl1o helped to make it a success. The paper was published each month for the rest of that year. In June a. Commencement number was published, it being larger than the rest and having a paper cover. During the school year 1912-1913, the magazine was again published monthly but it was somewhat larger and had a few illustrations. Clive Morrison was editor again that year. The following two years. 1914-1915 and 1915-1916 the Red and Blue was published quarterly, with George Ellerton as editor the tirst year, and Morris Chapman the second. During the year 1917-1918. the magazine was published in three issues. It. was much larger and had more cuts. Edward Berger was editor. The next year, 1918-1919, the Red and Blue was published as a monthly paper with Fred VVay, Jr., as editor. ln 1919-1920, it was again issued as a quarterly magazine with Elizabeth Bashaar as editor, while in 1920-1921 only three numbers were published, Harold Hertz was editor. Last year, 1921-1922, Donald liorger was editor. Because of linaneial ditiiculties it was only published in two numbers. It was decided by this year's stat? to concentrate their efforts on an annual and to make it the best possible. During: the year the student body voted to change the name from the Red and Blue to Sewihi . Sixty-four

l I Alumni An Alumni Association has long been needed in the Sewickley High School. Such an Association is created to keep up interest in the school. The Alumni could organize as one group and have otiicers who could work with the School to have gatherings of various kinds or to take part in school functions. To create an interest in Alumni work the Senior Class of '23 will organize, having a Cabinet authorised to call the Class together at any time deemed necessary. lt is hoped by all concerned that the other Alumni will take an interest in this work and respond with some action towards a real Alumni Association. The organization of the Alumni is not an impossible task. In colleges alumni are organized and all are wide awake. High Schools are adopting this plan to keep the graduates interested in the High School. Schools in the Valley such as Allegheny, South Hills and Coraopolis and others have their organi- zations. Why not Sewiekley High it Some of the Alumni have said lately that the School is trying to get away from their graduates by excluding them from social functions. This is not the easeg the real condition is the reverse. We desire more direct relation with the Alumni as it will be a benefit to both students and school. At various times dances have been held by the lligh School during the times when alumni were home from school. Due to the large number of graduates they had to be excluded. If the Alumni were organized they would be able to function by themselves. An organized Alumni could be of great benefit to the school. For example, at plays and entertainments they could help the school. The most important thing they could do would be to back the Sewihi . This is the first time such a thing has been attempted and it needs all tl1e backing possible.
