THE DART H tisers. This year we will perhaps receive more advertisements than have been obtained lor any issue of the paper in preceding years, with the exception of the Annuals. It is from these adver- tisements that the paper receives its maintenance, and we should show our appreciation by patronizing the dealers who have kindly favored us by placing their advertisements in the Dart.” HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The students of the High School have now settled down 10 conscientious study, and are endeavoring to make this year a most prosperous one in class work, athletics, debates and other impor- tant departments of school activities.

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

SOPHOMORES The class of T6 has the following literary officers: Room 9 John Stewart, President; Nora Bond, Vice President; Fay Sweet, Secretary; Ralph Shipman, Critic; Ella Gardner, Re- porter. Room 12 Howard Nazor, President; Jane Dickinson, Vice President; Lola Remick, Secretary; Mabel Lewis, Critic; Stephen Hall, Reporter. Hazel Rither of Dorset and Burdett Carleton of Hillsdale, Michigan are new members of the Sophomore class. The first month of the school year has passed and the outlook for the class is bright. FRESHMEN Following are the Freshmen literary officers: Room 3 President, Audrey Starkweather; Vice President, Lawerence Russel; Secretary, George Ducro; Critic, George McDonald; Reporter, Neil Payne Room 11 President, Hobert Rosebrook; Vice President, Wal- ter Stewart; Secretary, John Green; Critic, Charles Sanborn; Re- porter, Russel Workman. Room 13 President, John Dickinson; Vice President, Paul Hogan; Secretary, Harold Johnson; Critic, Harold Robishaw; Re- porter, Esther Lang. One hundred and forty-nine Freshmen have entered High School, this being the largest enrollment in the history of the class. We think that the Freshmen in one class, surely will know the meaning of sufficient, hereafter. A few days ago, a Fresh- man, having finished his recitation was told it was sufficient, and remained standing. The teacher explained the meaning, and the class certainly thought it was sufficient. Gradually we hope the Freshmen will become accustomed to dignified words. 19
