A SUCCESSFUL YEAR As We look back over The DIAL of this year, we feel that it has been successful in many ways. The financial success has made possible an enlargement in the size of the paper and a consequent increase of material. The DIAL has met with the admiration and approval of other school papers. But far greater success than either of these is the fact that the school as a whole has shown an interest in The DIAL and has taken an active part in the work. The pupils have helped in countless ways. The work of the literary contribu- tors can not be too highly praisedg while every joke contributed has had a bearing on the success of the magazine. The board is especially grateful to the commercial students and to Miss Glazier, who have willingly type-written copy on all occa- sions. Nor must mention be omitted of the boys who have assisted the circulation manager, or the students who helped with the candy sale play. 'Besides this, Monroe, whose work, notably on the liter- ary department, has contributed in no small measure to the success of The DIAL, Her excellent taste and literary judgment, her unusual knowledge of writing, and the in- spiration she has given to DIAL writers, have combined to produce one of the best literary departments that the DIAL has ever had. Friendship with Miss Monroe has brought untold pleasure and inspira- tion to the 'board members. In Miss Mon- roe's leaving BQ H. S., not only The DIAL board, but the whole school, is losing a valuable member. There are many features that this board has introduced that they hope to see con- tinued. Among them are the Parva Sed Aptag the Book Chat, which offers a splen- did opportunity for interesting students in good books, and the plan of having a dif- ferent cover for each issue. We hope, too, that the board may continue to have the use of Room 4. This has been a great privilege and convenience, which the board much -appreciates. at the time of the school much credit is due Miss There are also many ways in which The DIAL may be improved. One of these is in the enlargement of the subscription list. Not only does The DIAL need the extra source of income, but the quality of material in the magazine warrants more subscribers. We suggest to the next year's board that they set five hundred subscrib- ers as their goal. It is our desire th-at The DIAL may have more cuts, and We expect that this will be perfectly possible with the addition of a course in freehand drawing to the high school curriculum. We hope that the importance of the school magazine, and the services of the board members may be recognized even more. Though we do not expect the board to receive any banquets, trips, yells, sweaters, or the publicity that the ath- letic teams receive we do suggest that they receive a small token of recognition- per- haps an attractive pin or some other sym- bol of membership on The DIAL board. CHANGES RECOMMENDED A committee of students, working with Miss Henshaw and Miss Tucker, has rec- ommended tothe school several changes in the silver B system and matters closely related to it. One of the most important changes is the requirement that, to obtain a silver B, a pupil must earn at least three units for scholarship aIId three units for extra-curricular activities. The justice of this is 'easily seen-it prevents -a pupil ob- taining a B merely for extra-curricular ac- tivities or merely for scholarship. It rec- ognizes the value of both high scholarship and participation in activitiesg and em- phasizes the need of all-around and broad-minded boys and girls. Some have objected to the scholarship regulation on the ground that it will deprive Inany of the B. What does it mean ?-that for one year a student shall attain an average of 80 per cent in four subjects. Certainly this is not requiring very much. Further- more, in -an institution whose primary pur- pose is scholarship, should any award whatsoever disregard scholarship? Another recommendation is that each year the faculty and S. A. S. president ap- point a committee of three students and one faculty member to serve as a nomin-at- ing committee for all school offIces for the year. The members of this committee are to be chosen for their broad-mindedness, fair judgment, and loyalty to the school. Being chosen for the Whole year, the com-
