iHarmnt taff The Maroon is published monthly by a group of students selected by the faculty and sponsored by Mr. Martin. The purposes of the paper are two fold. First it furnishes a record of all the activities of the High School. In the second place it is one of the best mediums for engendering school spirit and loyalty. The paper is financially independent of other sources of revenue deriving the money for its publication from the small subscription fees and the money collected from our local advertisers and boosters. A great deal of credit is due all of the staff, but especially to the editor, assistant editor and sponsor for their tireless activity in behalf of the paper. Here’s to the increasing success and worth of our school paper, the Maroon. A. Nil sen Wtbb K. Nelson Mr. Martin P. Nelson Lister II. Nelson Keeskan F. Nelson A. Nelson B. Nelson McCIaujrAey A.
