Lena Fastabend., Address all communications to the Editor or Business Manager of The Zephyrus, Astoria High School, Astoria, Oregon. The ‘‘Zephyrus,” which is edited by the students of the Astoria High School, is, first of all, for the students them- selves. Itison them that we depend for material, and were every student to contribute in the way best suited to his abilities we are sure that not only would this paper be a success from a material standpoint but we know that the liter- ary talent in the school will be devel- oped, and every student will be stimu- lated. Through this column ought to be dis- cussed many subjects which are too often overlooked by the staff and stu- Editorial dents in general. Sometimes there are subjects with which the staff are not. acquainted, and for this reason are not able to deal with them. Further, most of these subjects are of real interest and importance, and we desire to make this column a helpful one by placing such topics before the students. We know that our teachers, our fellow-students, the alumni, and our friends outside of this school will see and know of many defects in our paper, for instance; and we desire that anyone who is interested in our school enterprises would set these ideas before us as editorials,

THE ZEPHYRUS excellent questions on this exercise— and I usually do.” Nellie S. [in Senior English] “He isa friend of my sister’s.’”’ [Blushingly] “I meant to say ‘she’.”’ He put his arm around her, The color left her cheek, But it stayed upon his overcoat For pretty near a week.—Selected. Msss H. [to E. Reed in Reading] “Who wrote ‘The Vicar of Wakefield’?” E.: “I don’t know.” Miss H.: “Oh, but you should.” Epstean: ‘I was so interested in the production that I forgot to look and see who wrote it.” “Two souls with but a single thought: two hearts that beat as one.’’—Physi- ology class. Is Maude R. a Republican? Would she have Teddy for a second term? Ted H. [after trying to open his watch] ‘‘Arthur, Jet me use your knife.” Arthur D.: ‘‘What for? Is there a girl in the case?” Miss H. [to L. Deneen] ‘‘What is the diffe rence between ‘goose’ and ‘geese’?”’ L. Deneen: ‘One ‘geese’ is a ‘goose,’ and two ‘gooses’ is a ‘geese’.”’ Miss B.: ‘‘Thorburn, J see that you’re at the foot of your class.” J. T. Ross, Jr.: ‘Console yourself, Miss Badollet. If there had been more in the class I’d have been still lower.” F. G. [basketball enthusiast] ‘‘I told you I couldn’t get this geometry.” Miss B.: ‘I know what the trouble is; if we should do this geometry up into a ball to throw into a basket, I’m sure you’d be able to do it perfectly.” 13 He failed in his Latin; flunked in his Chem., We heard him softly hiss “Td like to see the man who said That ignorance is bliss.” Why won’t the football boys tell the school more about the cute girlin Salem? They’re stingy. Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: “I’m stung again.” Ansen had a little book of problems and of jaw, And Ansen loved this little book, for it was ‘‘Algebraw.”’ PROGRESS. “= Hurry the student as fast as you can; Hurry him, worry him; make him a man; Out of his “baby” clothes, get him in pants, Feed him on brain food and make him advance. Hurry him when he is able to walk Into the High Schooland fill him with talk; Fill his poor head full of figures and facts, Jamming and ramming them in till it cracks.—A. F. D.,’10. FRESHMAN’S LAMENT I don’t believe in Algebra— The stuff, it is too slow; Them X’s and them Y’s and Z’s Are all put there for show. I don’t believe in Latin— Why, where’s there any sense? The language’s dead—yes, coldly dead, And ought to be dispensed. I don’t believe in History— The deeds of those great guys Cannot be proved; and who can tell But that they all are lies?
