THE HIGH SCHOOL POST. A MAGAZINE PUBLISHED BY THE PUPILS OF THE ATWOOD HIGH SCHOOL. ASSISTED BY THE TEACHERS. MAY 18. 1906. CONTRIBUTORS Class Day Essay’s Senior Class Alumni Notes Vivian Drew Laura Wrightsman Athletic Notes Leslie Lewis Poe vi Clyde Wiley Business Manaof.u Ted Merritt Assistant Homer Archer We have never published a magazine before. So many things are now happening during commencement that we thought this to be a good time to begin. Other high schools have magazines; we jvant one too. We want a magazine controlled entirely by tin pupils Both pleasure and excellent training could lie gotten from the work, and such .1 publication would be a stimulus t«» high school work. Give us your support, and w» will trv another issue ol The Hh:n Smoot. Post. We wish to express irTfir thanks to those who have assisted ns bv liberally buying our advertising space. Without this help our magazine could not have been a tinanci u success. Some people sav that our high school is not as good as it might be for the reason that the pupils do not take an interest in their work. We would like to say in reply that if some people knew how much good they co ild do us by a little encouragement on their part, they would assume a different attitude towards the school. We have been very fortunate in securing our com- mencement orator. J. W. Garner Ph. D , now head of the Department of Political Science at the University of Illinois. Prof. Garner is oi.e of the leading writers of political science. He has written many articles on The Ship Subsidy and other popular subjects, and in collaboration with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, lias recently published a fourvolumn history of the United States. The new piano is not ours yet We should all remember that we still owe one hundred and ten dollars This amount must be paid before June 1. 1907. A payment of forty or fifty dollars will be made this year, but that will leave us a pretty large sum to earn next year. I t us get busy and pay the whole amount. For the benefit of some who are getting tired of school we publish the following extract; “The average educated man gets a salary of 1, )00per year. He works forty years, making a total of 40,000 in a lifetime. Tin-average day laborer gets 1.50 per day, 300 days in the year, or 450 in a year In forty years he earns 18,0oo. The difference, or 25,000, equal's the value of an educa tion To acquire this earning capacity requires twelve years at school of ISO days each, or 2.1«0 days. Divide 22,000, the value of an education, by ”160. number of days required in getting it, we find' that each day at school is worth a little more than 10 to a pupil. ( an t afford to miss school, can we! ’—School Topics. In this magazine we have said little about the semi-chorus. However, we are not ashamed of it. The semi-chorus was organized this spring and began to r«--hearse under the direction of Mr. William. The semi-chorus sang at the Tuscola meet, and compared very favorably with the choruses from other schools. Tin-following girls sang: -Vivian Drew. Lora Biggs. Meda Gross. Margaret Keener, Bertha Archer. Bess Fisher. Lena Birch field. Hazel Merritt and Nana Latch. Tuesday, May 1, was an important dav in our school history. On that day the state high school inspector. H. A. Hollister, visited us, and recommended us for thirty-three credits with the State University. Forty-two credits makes a fully accredited school. VVe are doing something after all.
