With the few marks of the critics, And the red ones of the teachers, With the rushing of the great words, With their frequent repetitions, And their wild conglomerations, I should answer, I should tell you: “From the office and the schoolroom.

That were handed to the editor At his desk within the office. There he wrote his editorials For the ‘Central High School Monthly Wrote his wondrous tales and stories, How he worked, and how he pondered, How he toiled, and laughed, and scribbled, That the school paper might prosper; That he might advance the ‘Monthly ” Ye who love to read good stories, Love the ballads of a scholar, Writ in words so plain and simple You can surely understand them, Read these stories and these verses In the Central High School Monthly. Ye who love the games of football, Or of basket-ball, or baseball, Who believe, that in all ages, That in even football players There are longings, yearnings, strivings For the victory over all foes, Listen to the Mills that grind out The athletics in the “Monthly.” Ye, who sometimes, in your rambles Through the great halls of the High School, In the years that are hereafter, Step into the High School office, Up to where the second desk is Covered o’er with many papers, Essays, poems, jokes and stories, Pause a while, and look about you, See the fine “Mag” there before you, Spend ten cents for a good paper— For the “Central High School Monthly.” Harriet E. Smith, ’02. 21
