if is receiving more support than ever be- fore. The increase in quantity should not decrease the quality of student sup- port. Cleveland must advance, for to stand still is to go backwards. Up to the present time, Cleveland's comparatively small attendance has been somewhat of a handicap in supporting the teams, but, then, too, Cleveland students have not responded well to en- treaties to attend baseball games and, up to this season, football games. No won- der we have never had winning teams in either of these sports. Other schools sup- port their teams and have winning teams. Cleveland supports her basketball team and it has gained either first or second place in this event for four years in a row. This year she supported the foot- ball team, and as a result the Yale Alumni Association paid us a visit and left with us a certain silver trophy. You want winning teams in all sports and there's your answer. It is to be hoped that Cleveland's new students will be filled with enthusiasm enough to bring them to the games in a body, and that her older ones will be aroused to a realization of the allegiance which they owe to their Alma Mater. ALLOW US We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Miss Caplan, Miss Heller, and Mr. Slater for the unstinted giving of their time and helping in all phases of the work on the Beacon. Miss Finkelnburg and her art classes have expended a great amount of time and energy on the art work for this Beacon. A glance at the art work of the book shows the quality of their efforts but not the speed with which the work was done. We wish to express our deep appreciation of their work. For their co-operation in the art work we heartily thank Miss Mann, Miss Saams, and their art classes. To Mr. Beers and his typewriting classes we are indebted for their aid in typewriting the manuscript for this book. We wish to acknowledge the hearty co-operation of the following in contrib- 5 1 go?

Mr. Bishop, Mr. Fenenga, Mildred Melscheimer, Audrey Sigel, Mignon Stark, Glenn Viehman, and Arthur Paule assisted immeasurably. Raymond Gillespie we thank for his aid in compiling the scores for the Ath- letics section. We greatly appreciate the help of all others who have in any way aided in the production of this Beacon.,' The Staff and the editor in particular wish to thank Mr. Frye for his patience in explaining and directing the work of production for inexperienced hands. To a member of the staff especially is it evi- dent that the Beacon could not be suc- cessfully published without the sponsorship of Mr. Frye. Many situations arise requiring tact or experience which it would be impossible to meet without his skillful guiding hand. SPECIAL THANKS. I Although the organizations of the school as a whole co-operated admirably in the production of this 'KBeacon, two, especially, stand out as deserving of praise and thanks for their work in two of the important departments of the book. The Camera Club, which has been in existence for several terms, not only furnished the two staff photographers but also gave many snapshots. The presence of photographs through the book adds va- riety, and on their quality depends their worth. The Camera Club does much to promote better photography and must therefore be a big contributor to these pages. The Beacon will expect much from this club in the future. The Cartoonist's Club, though still in its, infancy, is widely known throughout the school for its corridor bulletin board. Early in the term the value of this organ- ization to the Beacon was seen. The Cartoonists were asked to draw cartoons for the Locals section and they responded heartily. Their work needs no praise in these columns as it speaks for itself. To this club also the Beacon will look in the future for aid in the cartoon line. Page N ine
