Editorial T IIKICK was a class and there Is a class. The one class had Ideals, and lacked on vlromnent. the other happily had lx th. We only claim to have solidified their dreams, their ideal, solidifying It only by the application of cold, hard, fact our hands. Then. too. the other class had a motto: Where we lix our heart, we set our hand.” So Juniors. Sophomores, and Freshmen, realize you lirst the value of an ideal, a motto and— “Procrastination all despise. Concentration we advise. And urge you iierseverance prize. Kven though the one class did fail, it seems quite fitting that this, the lirst annual of the first State Public High School should l c published by the tlrst class graduated from It—in Its second period of evolution. So we. the Seniors of Nineteen-fifteen, and the Kditors, truly hope that our publication may please you and that it may give you some reason to think of us as Practical Idealists. Tilt: Kmrons.
