We feel that we have just cause to congratulate ourselves on the way 1n whlch junlor has solved the problem dur1ng the three years of 1ts exlstence for durlng that entire t1me only e1ghty seven pup1ls have left to go to work One can appreclate how small th1s number IS when one conslders that the average enrollment at jumor IS ln the nelghborhood of fourteen hundred pup1ls It IS decxdedly lnterestmg to see what pup1ls have gone to work There were ln all slxty boys and twenty seven g1rls Of the boys eleven left 1n the seventh grade twenty elght ln the exghth grade and twenty one rn the n1nth grade Three glrls left 1n the seventh grade seventeen 1n the eldhth grade and seven rn the n1nth In add1t1on to those who have gone to work there IS a llttle group of pup1ls who have g1ven as the1r reason for leavmg elther fallure or lack of mterest rn school The surpr1s1ng thmg about thls group IS that xt numbers just live people In the group of elghty seven leavmg to go to work there are how ever a few records that show unsat1sfactory work Flve have done very poor work all the way through On the other hand two have excellent records and elghteen have done Work that IS above average The other slxty per cent have done average work Hence It IS very clear that no great number gave up school and went to work because of fallure or d1ssat1sfact1on at school Moreover a study of the Soclal Informatlon folders convmces one that the majorlty of these chlldren were compelled by hnanclal necesslty to leave school In then number were two orphans and twenty s1x chxldren who were dependent upon wldowed mothers Wlth very few exceptlons the rest were members of large famllles where the fathers were engaged 1n types of work that y1e1d small 1ncomes In every case where a certxficate was obtalned from the Attendance Department the statement was made that lt was necssary for the chlld to help w1th the support of the fam ly As nearly as one may Judge from all records avallable mnety three per cent of those who went to work left because of financlal necessity The fact that so few leave shows concluslvely that the pup1ls are happy at junlor and that they realize that they are gettmg somethmg worth while There xs no doubt that the freedom the opportumtxes for developlrff lead ershlp and the extreme democracy of the jumor Hlgh School are conduclve to the1r contmumg the1r school course 41 A i . 4 ' V . , I ,I L 5 . - Q K' - 1 0' 1 1 ' ' 1 9 ' 1 ' . . , b , . v . . . . on .

These elected members are proud of the name reporter, Now, in nearly every group there are three classes of people: the workers, the talkers who do very little, and those who neither work nor talk. In our Reporters' Club, there must be a two-thirds majority of hard Workers, because at nearly every meeting a number of reporters are ready to say, We did it. or We are over the top. These last remarks refer to drives for subscriptions, Year Book pledges, advertisements, etc. Among so many hard workers, it is hard to single out any one doing espe- cially well in any particular line but without any desire to neglect many good members a few may well receive special mention Frederick McCoy s unceas mg efforts on the staff and as president of the club have aided the reporters to put across the paper Virginia Henslee has been a help to the club for quite a While Helen Mears has been a wonderful booster in getting advertisements Jared johnson has had the job of sending out about forty exchanges every is sue Robert Morgan has served the paper well for s veral terms Bernice Bowdern has the best record seventy Eve copies for extra sales All these have done work but without the aid of Miss Thomure and Miss Gilmore I am sure we would be like Ship wrecked Robinson Crusoe Millard Glaser s comical column is greatly enjoyed by all But why go on? Each has done his best to please the readers of our paper and book One point more Even if you are not a reporter that does not mean that the story or verse you wrote when genius burned won t be printed The reporters will turn it in or the sponsors will receive it Our club is only human and occasionally the beautiful weather causes some one to call out Lets adjourn before Editor McCoy thinks all busi ness has been transacted but the Reporters Club does not wish to adjourn without thanking the whole school pupils faculty and principals for its generous support the pupils who secured us advertisements and the ad vertisers who helped us get out a larger book They have all earned a happy vacation Dorothy Priwer and Arnold Stoltz Les Causeurs Les Causeurs est le French Club de notre ecole Cet organization est charmant et tres interessant Les membres donnent des amusements chaque fois Le trente avril Les Causeurs donnerent une matinee et mainte nant Les Causeurs sont les garants du mouvement pour les orphelins Fran cais de la guerre Les officiers sont Presidente Maxine Goldman Secretalre Helen Hirschfield Tresorier Ida Louise Ebert Chairman du Programme Committee Dorothy Conzelman Dorothy Conzelman 7 V . . . . , - , . 7 . e .
