This industry gives our city and the entire Fox River Valley its outstanding characteristic. The prosperity and continued well-being of our community is directly dependent upon paper. Dozens of our graduates and former students are devoting their lives in the offices and plants ofmpape ' down the Fox River Valley. Several of the grad- uates of the Class of 1930 will follow in their footsteps. The high school student can well afford to give more than passing notice to our chief industry. First of all, it offers him a splendid opportunity for permanent em- ployment. It is the chief contributor, in the form of taxes, towards the costs of his education. Its daily operations require the services of intelligent, high-class labor which, in turn, sets the intellectual, cultural, and living standards of Appleton. It is more than mere coincidence that Appleton and Appleton high school have no so- called colored problem, foreign problem, and class-caste problem. We owe much to this basic industry whose continued prosperity means so much to all of us. ln a recent survey made in our school, it was disappointing to learn that only one of two hundred fifty seniors intended to choose the paper mill industry as his life work. The Clarion by choosing the, paper industry as its theme for 1930, hopes to call the attention of its readers to this situation, with the hope that both the stu- dent and our chief industry will be gainers thereby. faxes rf fwfr

g l gg l c g - ..,1 AA 1 the Qlariun sfw I 2 CARRIE E. MORGAN The old timer who can remember the first paper mill in Appleton, located on the site of the present Interlake property, will recall a small square frame building, where straw-board paper was manufactured. It has been a long step forward from the old frame building to the present cathedral-like structure, now occupying a portion of the old site. This change has not come in a day. Seventy years must have elapsed since the first paper mill was erected in Appleton, and the older inhabitants can trace the evolution from the old square frame building to the square, but higher, brick building erected in the third ward, to the long brick buildings in the middle of the water-power, back to the site of the Interlake, where a long, low brick building has had seven addi- tions, culminating with the stately and handsome building, which has been such an innovation in paper-mill architecture. We welcome the change, which will doubtless be an example for future mills to follow. The fine building, which I can look at as I write, is now illuminated and when the river is still and unfrozen its exact replica can be seen in the water and is a beautiful sight. In the gathering twilight it looms up like a cathedral indeed and is a real ornament to the 'banks of the good old Fox River. Page eight
