MILESTON ES Volume l, Number 1 of the Clzerrou appeared in February 1912. It contained editorials on The Vvisdom of VVashington , Responsibility and The Value of Athletics. The activities of the school were well covered. There had been a speech on self-reliance - important g medals had been awarded for a track meet. The cast of the high school play had presented His Uncle lohnf' A column of Senior advice to the juniors urged them to be more udifferentialfl The 1911 football team pleaded Hmisunderstanding of a rule coupled with hard luck. There was a joke section: Are you ticklish? No, I'm Irish. There were pictures - the football team and the track team vied with George Waslmingtoii and Lincoln. There were ads. The feature of the issue was an explanation of the name Chevron. Many years ago when linighthood and he1'aldry were preeminent in the old world, a device representing the rafters of a house was often worn on a shield to betolcen the successful accomplishment of some noteworthy deed. So the name Cl'rev1'01fL has been chosen because it represents an ideal. The Chevron has changed in content. VVe had a poem by Carl Carmel' in our first issue. VVe've grown in size but we still represent the rafters that hold up the roof of the house. NVe still uphold the honor of our school.
