“Ode to the Student Body Tax.” 1. Oh that student-body tax; Holy Smoke! A few days more and it is due — I am broke. 2. Of all curses upon home or school, This new and grafty — coiny rule Y ho does not pay it — ranked a fool Oh Student-body tax! 3. All extravigance I must give up — At iioeflers grill — no more I’ll sup — Oh bii ter — bitter is my cup, — A dollar have 1 lost. 4. And yet it is the thing to do — To make our athletes pull us through And save the honor of the school, A few important facts. 5. So I give uip with willing mind, My dollar per, and join the line Who leave their numerous wants behind — For the Athletic tax! F. G. TO. Perhaps Bill Wootton misunderstood the teacher’s meaning This is his paper: “The equator is a menagrie lion running around the earth.” “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Arc.” “Water is composed of two gases oxygen and Cambrigen.” “Lava is what the barber puts on your face.” “A blizzard is the inside of a fowl.”

Zephyrus. has again put in its appearance, and it is hoped that the students wiil stand by it as taiimuily as it nod more so, than they did the preceding year, livery High School oi any note possesses a paper whether it tie iaige or small. the Astoria High School is one of the most active schools in the state. Although nature has placed a barrier between Asoona and the Willamette Valley schools, we do not lind it difficult to make known to them our presence in the Inter-scholastic field of activiliy. If one stops to think he will realize how much a paper does towards uniting the interests of its own school to that of others. Our paper travels to numerous schools, not only in Oregon and Washington, but in different states ' throughout the Union. Every¬ one can help to make the Zephyrus” our best, and in this way, help to advertise the real spirit of our school. It will be needless to make known to the students of the Astoria High School that a school paper cannot exist without the necessary funds. The chief way of obtaining these funds is through our ad¬ vertisements. We readly esteem our worlihy advertisers in thus helping us in our undertaking. Now students, do you not think it courteous for us to repay them? To do this is but a simple matter. Look carefully over ouir list of advertisers. Notice which of your dealers have inserted an advertisement. Keep up your trade with them. It means business for us. Tom in. everyone — we beg of vou, — “Patronize Our Advertisers.” Perhaps it would be convenient for the Astoria High School students to realiz e that almost every other institution of learning which is well up in school spirit, levies a itiax upon the students for the support of Athletics. This tax generally runs from one to two and a half dollars; and is usually collected during the first two months of the school year. The members of our student body passed a resolution last year that each member should be taxed one dollar. If one would stop to think how the candidates for the differ¬ ent teams train and work for the honor of the school, he would realize what a small part he is playing in contributing this tax. There is about to be a new building for the Astoria High School. Everybody is glad to hear this because once having a new building we are confident that our school will be second to none in the state. We do not mean by itlhis that our schoo ' is not as good as other schools but our building is not as convenient as it might be. — Let every pupil of the storia High School do his best to let the people and the school hoard know tha!t. we deserve a new building and are willing to work for it and shall most hcartlv appreciate it when it comes.
