EDITORIALS EDITOR’S COMMENT This year we have tried to take a stride ahead with the ideal of giving our readers more for their money. In past years, the magazine has been a Junior class project with all material coming from that class. This year, although the Juniors are managing the magazine, we decided to include literary material from all classes in the high school. We have “scouted’’ with the proverbial eagle’s eye for material, and we have found that which we believe will be of interest to our subscribers. We need not remind you of the crowded condition which exists in our high school at present. There are only two other schools in the present B. H. S. class on the Cape. How- ever, by next October, we shall be enjoying a new school building. Because of some false rumors, and some ill feeling caused by these false rumors, we are including in the maga- zine a special article on the new building as well as a set of outline plans copied from the original plans in Mr. Peebles’ office. We are happily indebted to the townspeople for their approving the new much-needed addition to our high school. D. Ingerson, ’36. MODERN ADVERTISING The merchants of times long gone past, did not adver- tise their products as advertising is done today. No indeed, they let the merits of their products be their advertising agent. Their high pressure salesmen were merely the house- wives gossiping to their neighbors of the porkchops they had from “Schultz’s Butcher Shoppe” or the fine shoes they got from “Peter’s Bootee Shoppe”. The inn keepers were about the only ones to advertise at all. In front of their inn they would have a carving of a telescope for the “Spy Glass Inn” or a painting of a pirate for the “Buccaneer’s Rest”. This is entirely different from modern advertising of today. Why even in this room I can see a placard advertising basket ball
