THE VALUE OF SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS There are some who may not see any real value in a school paper edited and printed by high school students. The first thing of real value is the editing of the paper. Anyone who is on the editorial board is receiving real training in critical ability. Whoever is the editor or business manager is getting full benefit of almost all the difficulties that a business man gets. The editor learns how to go at a thing in order to accomplish the desired results. He does not gain his knowledge by having some one tell him. but must read and study it all out for himself. The editor must be persistent in his efforts and not put oft his work on somebody’s else shoulders. He has full responsibility of the publication, and if anything goes wrong, he must take all the blame. The business manager also meets hard knocks. He must go out and obtain the advertisements lor his paper as this is one of the best ways of financing it. 'I'he business manager must keep his books so that any time he can give a statement of the finances. I he next thing of value to a student is printing. Printing is a good business and there are many opportunities for a good printer. We do the printing of our monthly edition and the members of the print shop receive practical education from their own experience in connection with it. From its experience in publishing the monthly paper the Editorial Board has no doubt of the practical value of school publications. The slogan they give to next year’s board is: Responsibility, Persistence and Good Hard Work. Adrian Rowe ’27 WHAT DOES THE ATHENIAN MEAN TO YOU? The Athenian is your school paper and it is as much your duty to support The Athenian as it is to support the football team. The Athenian is just as much a part of the school as the football team. If you do not support the football team by going to the games and helping them by cheering them, they are not a success. The Athenian cannot be a success if you do not buy it and give it support by writing for it. If you have any pride in your school, you will try to improve The Athenian because the paper reflects on the school, and if it is not a progressive, up-to date paper, the town will think that the school is not progressive or up-to-date. Let’s not allow this to be said about our school or our school paper, but make The Athenian a success. Harlan Rowe ’28
