A Quarter of cl Century Twenty-five years ago the students of Charlotte High School published a thin volume of poems and short stories called the Witan. The name had been chosen from sixty prospec- tive titles which were submitted by the student body. The volume was the first of six issues created by that Senior Class. The children of some of these Seniors are working on the Witan today. Of course a few changes have been made. The Witan is no longer com- pletely financed by advertisements nor do we publish six issues annually. Production costs have been trebled twice, due to an increase in pictorial matter and the cost of printing. The Witan has gradually shed it's literary features, replacing them with news of the graduating class. Eventually it was published semi-annually and was devoted to the type of material that it now contains. By 1933 there was no longer a January graduating class. Thus the necessity for a semi- annual publication was relieved. In one respect the Witan has not changed-Miss Sharer and Mr. Lee have been the advisers, sharing their fund of helpful information with the staff and guiding them toward their goal-a volume which faithfully mir- ors the activities and spirit of Charlotte High School.
