©litoriala Many people have asked since •■he issuing of the En-Em 'll, from what the name lias been derived. Since the same name has been chosen for this year's annual perhaps an explanatory note is due the public. The explanation is short and simple. By taking the initial letters of the name North Manchester we pet N. M. Then by spelling the letters as they sound we arrive t the name of our annual. En-Em. The class of fourteen, we think, are to be complimented on this ingenuity in naming their annual. It is not only different from the usual type of name, but its meaning makes it dear to every loyal N. M. Hi student. For the past five years the North Manchester High School has been accredited as a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This means that by the presentation of a certificate any graduate of our school may enter any college of the association. It also signifies that our school is among the first class schools of the state. This year the inspector spoke highly of the efficiency of our faculty, of the standard of the work, and of tin' attitude of the students, hut he emphatically condemned the unsanitary condition of our building. In his report he spoke especially of the basement. All of these rooms are dark, small, poorly heated and ventilated, and consequently unhealthful. Because our work towers so far above the conditions of the building, we again find ourselves on the accredited list. However, this condition of affairs cannot continue. The building is yearly growing worse, and laboring under such difficulties it would he almost impossible to raise the present standard. Citizens of North Manchester, I am sure you understand what this means to every one of the students; they are doing all they can under the circumstances but they can only leave it to you to assist in the maintenance of that high standard by erecting a new building. We wish to publicly show our appreciation to all those who have .so willingly aided us in the publishing of the second volume of the En-Em. Without their assistance this book would never have been possible. The students of North Manchester High School have been interested in its completion and have shown their loyalty by contributing their share of literature and of financial support. We also wish to thanK the business men who have advertised in our Annual. Most of them have been very generous with us and we hope they will continue to be the same with the publishers of the future En-Eras. Paste Seven

Sltr tutonfa ICamntt Recently our faculty (They really ought to choke) Have made severe restrictions Which never must he broke. We cannot loiter in the halls, Or talk when on the stairs; We can't look out the window And we must not mark the chairs. Whispering is an awful crime— Laughing—just as bad; We should follow their example And always look quite sad. And when they find us chewing gum, Oh Horrors!—What a crisis!!! They take our names and whack two oil'. And severely do chastise us. When canned from class, the teachers Treat us with very great contempt; That also takes two more off, and From exams we’re not exempt. And a great big legal holiday We dare not celebrate, But have to study just the same, Otherwise—we met our fate. We can’t assemble on the steps Where so many feet have trod. And never must we spoil the grass By walking on the sod. And when some student doth display The fact that he is clever, The teachers keep an eye on him Forever and forever. I'm sure, by this time you see What burdens we have to hear. For. of trials and tribulations. We certainly have our share. P. F. ’15. Page Eight
