Alack!” Now this young Dac Tyl felt pangs of remorse, Forthwith he bought him a dashing black horse, Said, “to escape wedded state I’ll go West, There no old maids do the good ground infest.” Tro Chee overheard this speech, Begged he’d take her with him there, “For,” she said, “him do I hate, But I want fresh western air.” But instead of these maids who o’er anxious did seem, He did take to himself a fair vision and dream, Who would change her sweet name which was fair Anna Pest, And become Mrs. Tyl by his urgent request. 15

THE DART realize the honor which has been entrusted to our keeping in the maintenance of this, our High School paper. This paper is repre- sentative of the talent and genius of the entire student body, and not the frenzied mental exertion of a select few. We know there is much creative ability in A. H. S. and we wish to say that the columns of the “Dart” are always open to its expression. Mr Student think a little and put your thoughts into words, and you will not only make your paper a better one, but you will also en- rich yourself. Then in order to attain perfection we must also have the support of the student body in other ways, the most im- portant way being, subscribing for the “Dart.” There are now o- ver four hundred students in A. H. S. only half of whom have giv- en us their names. This is a poor showing for a large high school of this sort; but we hope you will subscribe, as by doing so you will greatly assist the paper to keep up its standard. This being the sixth year of the publication of the “Dart,” we shall endeavor to carry out a new idea. The idea is this, to change the cuts in each department and also the cover design in each issue of the paper. This, we think, is one more step to- ward betterment. Now in order to do this, we must have your co-operation in drawing these cuts; and of course, we need the support you can give by buying the “Dart,” because these cuts cost a little money. The drawings for the different departments have been ably done by Harold Blakeslee and Reginald Kain. The Dart” wishes to thank these two students for the splendid work they have done. Other artists in A. H. S. should follow their ex- ample in bettering the appearance of the paper, for we know, there are many who have ability in this line. Show your artistic ability and you will be rewarded with the honor due you. A new feature in A. H. S. is that of a German Club, composed of the German students of the Senior and the Junior classes. We hope that it will be continued by all the other classes which are to follow in years to come. The purpose of the club is to aid in per- fecting its members in the use of German language by having pro- grams arranged for the different meetings to be held. All honor is due Miss Vance in forming such a club. By the way, this is one more step toward that largely discussed subject, Class Spirit.” Now a word concerning the patronizing of the Dart adver- 17
