more prosperous in the future. The Annual commends the spirit which has appeared in forming a debating team this year. Analy has reason to be proud of the victories, and would propose that next year a literary society be formed in which debating shall have a prominent place. A useful society could be formed to meet in the evening once each week. The work of such a body is so varied that all members of the school could find some con¬ genial work in it. Singing, playing some musical instrument, reciting, reading, giving short dramas, essays, short stories, all as well as debating, form the parts to any good literary society. Boys and girls, form one. HARLES Reginald Perrier, an attorney of Sebastopol, offered five dollars for the best short story, to be written by the pupils of the high school, provided three oth¬ er .prizes should be offered as follows: two and one-half dol¬ lars for the second, one and one-half for the third and one dollar for the fourth. Mr. Harry B. Morris, one of the best known residents of Sebastopol, furnished the money for these three prizes. Thirty-four stories were written and sixteen finally were submitted to the judges, who were Mrs. Mary B. Williams, Miss Honoria P. Tuomey, Mrs. Ethel Stanley Bernard, Dr. John Talbot, all of this city, and Mrs. Dr. Mallory of Santa Rosa. No one of the judges coiuld tell from the papers which one of the students wrote the stories, and therefore had to make their decisions entirely upon the merits of the stor¬ ies. Their marks were audited by a committee of the faculty consisting of Professor J. E. Williamson, Miss Kinnear and Prof. J. T. Perigo. The result was as follows: Ruth Meeker, first, Marie Simpson, second, Emil Paulson, third and Joe. Williamson, fourth. The marks showed very small differen¬ ces. A number of the others came within a small fraction of being included in the list. The judges took occasion to com¬ plement the stories in their form and English. The four are all published in this issue of the Analy Annual. Two oth¬ ers, that received high marks, were read at the reception giv¬ en to the seniors.

its importance. Another suggestion the Annual desires to make. It is not a question which the teachers would have time to promote, nor would it likely occiulr to the Board. The patrons should be brought into closer contact with the school. An organi¬ zation for mothers and fathers and other citizens can lie formed where they may meet and discuss the problems which relate to the welfare of the students. The subjects in the course of study should be what the people who pay the taxes want. Too many times persons with good ideas never have an opportunity to explain them to those who have charge of making the course of study. Why not have a neighborhood meeting once each month at the school house and talk over these things? Our high school requires sev¬ eral thousand dollars each year. Why not get together and help determine what is best for the boys and girls who go there! It is expensive even for the members of the school. Does it not deserve some public consideration? Form a pa¬ tron’s club. Learn what is going on in the school and be prepared to recommend such changes as will add to the ef¬ ficiency of the school. Make the school house one great so¬ cial center for the Gold Ridge community. What a power it may exert. The Annual is of the opinion that if such an or¬ ganization were formed and supported for one year, good would result to this community. Questions that did not per¬ tain directly to school affairs could be discussed in such meetings. A meeting to hear some good addresses from an outside speaker, an evening for entertainment simply, Ian afternoon for social acquaintance only, an hour or two listen¬ ing to music, vocal and instrumental, any or all of these pur¬ poses would be instrumental in uniting the forces in this community. Such an organization cowld carry on a regular course of lectures and entertainments during the year. These two suggestions, the Annual is constrained to offer, hoping that they may bring forth good to Analv Union High School. The Analv Annual hereby makes its first bow to its adver¬ tisers. Our patrons are asked to look over the advertise ments in this issue and remember them when they go to mar¬ ket. The business men of this community have made it pos¬ sible to present to you this admirable paper. The Annual asks you to patronize these people, and help them to become ( 26 )
