ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL January 10, 1927 Kenneth L. Page, Editor-in-Chief of the Academe, Academy High School, Erie, Pa. My Dear Kenneth: The choice of the Academe staff this year marks an- other distinct forward step in the organization of that body. Until last year the Senior Class each September chose one of their members editor-in-chief, and another business manager of the Academe. Those elected to these positions were students of the highest type and were thoroughly successful in their efforts to produce a good year book. However, they were usually plunged in- to the work without previous experience and with little or no time to think about their problems and to plan accordingly. Last year, as you know, we chose assis- tants to the editor-in-chief and business manager from the Junior Class. You and the Businees Manager for the 1927 Academe have been chosen because, in the opinion of the faculty advisers you surpassed the other assis- tants in ability and initiative. You are to be congrat- ulated for having won these honors. However, every such honor carries its responsibilities. In planning the Academe each year it is the ten- dency of the staff to choose some expensive feature which will make the volume they are to publish excel all previous ones. May I remind you that ours is an institution for mental training. We should, therefore, strive to make our excellence apparent in things of the mind rather than that of the pocketbook. If the stan- dard of the Academe is to be set by its cost then the staff which can raise the most money will produce the best book. If, on the other hand, its standard is to be set by ability and effort put into it the cost in dollars will be relatively unimportant. May I urge you and your staff to keep this thought in mind in laying and developing your plans. I want to congratulate you and every member of the staff, as well as the faculty advisers on the thorough- ness of your plans, as revealed so far, and the prompt- ness in which you are carrying them through. I sincere- ly hope you will be able to publish the very best Aca- deme that has yet appeared. Heartily yours, aTrw. Principal n
