TRIBUTE For almost a quarter of a century our schools have been under the capable management of Superintendent Worthman. In the midst of his numerous duties he always finds time for the individual boy or girl who comes to him with any problem however trivial. His keen judgment and whole-hearted sincerity have won for him the loyal support of both the teaching corps and the student body. M. F. WORTHMAN, Superintendent.

DEEDS AND MISDEEDS GRACE COFFEE MARTHA CALLAND PAULINE AFFOLDER DEEDS AND MISDEEDS Two years ago, 1929, to be precise, our little annual “ceased to be.” Sev¬ eral things entered into its demise, all of which were beyond anybody’s con¬ trol. The many inquiries that came to us, both this year and last, regard¬ ing the annual has proved to us that the little book was popular with the boys and girls. But it was Martha E. Calland and Pauline Affolder who faced the prob¬ lem squarely and as soon as Mr. Thomas said “go” they went to their job with a recklessness that snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat. It was they who went from room to room and from class to class, telling what it would mean to the boys and the girls as they grew older, gathering pledges and subscriptions until the required number was obtained. To them also, must be given the credit for having written at least nine-tenths of the content matter of the book. In recognition of the excell¬ ent work which they have accomplish¬ ed we dedicate this page to them, trusting that they have learned the truth of the saying that the ultimate source of real happiness lies in serv¬ ing others. Miss Coffee to whom the editors had recourse when in doubt concern¬ ing the agreement of verbs with their subjects, pronouns with their antece¬ dents, et cetra, worked whole-hearted¬ ly as usual for the success of the an¬ nual. —Anonymous. - o- KINDLY ADVICE Not having sufficient space or time we could not record the acts and ac¬ tions of everyone. So if your feats or accomplishments have been over¬ looked and you feel terribly put out— well, arsenic is not painful. If how¬ ever, you have been mentioned in our little repast of words, do not become vain and egotistical because, after all, every circus must have its clown. Now that you’ve perused the ter¬ rible truth this far, may I say that certain members of the staff may now be found in Porto Rico and parts south. Do not let your disappoint¬ ment be too great on not being able to vent your ire on the editor of this little affair, but just be thankful that we didn’t print all that we know. TRUE CONFESSIONS Putting out this book is no joke; If we print too many jokes some peo¬ ple say we are silly, If we don’t print them people say we are too serious. If we clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write them our¬ selves. If we stick close to the job all day we should be out hunting news. If we do get out and hustle we shou’d be on the job in the office; If we don’t print contributions we don’t appreci¬ ate true genius, and if we do print them the annual is full of junk. If we make a change in the write¬ ups we are too critical, If we don’t we are asleep. Now like as not someone will say we swiped this from some other paper. WE DID. o—
