THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL FEBRUARY. 1925 GREETING Our work of guiding the Reflector has come to an end, and once more we return to the ranks of the privates. Our discouragements, our toils, and our triumphs, as we watched our paper grow, are all over. Those never to be forgotten experiences—for who could forget the sickening sense of disappointment which swept over us when we realized that the spark of life which we had carefully nurtured in our paper was about to die for lack of fuel, or ads, and our boundless joy when the entire school rallied to our support with ads galore?—are now but memories. All of reality that remains of our reign is our paper, which it is now our pleasure and honor to present to the school. If the paper i3 not up to your standards, we know you will overlook its shortcomings; for it is natural to forgive those we love, and you have given ample proof of your affection for your paper. But while you may forgive, do not forget these mistakes, for in your hands lies the fate of succeeding issues of the Reflector; and while we fervently hope you will consider our Reflector the “best ever.” we also hope that the next issue and the next will be better still.” You see, we wish you not to praise and honor us, but to join us in the glorification of our Re- flector. Alice A. Hornby, February ’25. TO THE STUDENTS This article was originally intended to liter- ally belabor the school for its neglect and its failure in getting behind the Reflector. But subsequent happenings have indeed made this unnecessary. Students, the Reflector which you hold in your hand is like a human being recovered from a deadly illness which threatened its life. Saved from the grave, we might say, by the heroic'efforts of Dr. School Spirit. Nor is this an exaggeration. At one point our Reflector was on its death bed, dying of starvation, of lack of sufficient pecuniary aid to keep it alive. But, lo, assistance was at hand, though in a dormant state. The school, learning of the dire condition of the paper awoke to its responsi- bility and sprang into action. Sustenance in the form of ads was brought to the invalid, and strength and vitality returned. So. students, we still have our Reflector, just as big and strong as ever, we hope, in spite of its convalescense. And its success is due to the splendid response of the school body to the last desperate appeal for aid. Without that whole-hearted support during the crisis, this issue would have been impossible. We of the staff, who saw impending disaster staring us in the face, are especially thankful for the fine PAGE NINE
