C. H. S. SPECTATOR A vision one dark night I had, To me it was a sight most sad. The vision held a writing pad, Each page was blank. I almost fainted with affright, Then courage took and asked his plight. He had items few with which to write The 0. L. V. Spectator. And thus his troubles he did bewail, The members I must soon assail, Because they always seem to fail Their needed Spectator. The worry on his face showed quite. I thought it did not seem just right To leave him in a place so tight To write the Spectator. The sight I never will forget, I almost b’lieve I see it yet, How this poor soul himself did fret Over the Spectator. And so, in every time of need The editor well help indeed, The josh box well continually feed For our dear Spectator.

C. H. S. SPECTATOR 5 The 0. V. L. Spectator has been written every two weeks for almost four years, and yet it has heretofore been kept only with¬ in our own school building. Now we have decided to have our Spectator published, so it can attain a place among the other printed papers. Then our relatives and friends and all those interested in our pro¬ gress may have the opportunity of reading some of the best work of the C. U. H. S. pupils. This number will also be our last issue this term and we wish to close the school year with a number which excels all pre¬ vious editions. We are putting forth our best efforts and we hope that our items, stories and sketches will amuse and in¬ terest you, and that you will laugh at our jokes. This being our first printed number we have not had the op¬ portunity of exchanging with other schools; so we have mo Exchange Editor on our staff. We will soon be fitted to send out our paper. Then our staff will be complete, and we may have our little book circulating with those of the other‘high schools.
