LA CAMPANILLA THE SCHOOL HISTORY GOOD intention can often go a long way toward the accomplishment of a desirable objective. We can not aim too high, we can not endeavor too much, to live up to the standards we have set for ourselves. We all remember well the day our new school building first opened its portals to us. This day, promising and optimistic, was destined to be the forerunner of many well-spent, busy hours in pursuit of education. The highest class in the school on that memorable day was the one which last year bid adieu to our Alma Mater. Although they were then but the tenth grade, because of their superior position, we looked up to them as our leaders, and conducted ourselves according to our interpretation of their example. Miss Woodruff will remain in our memories for time indefinite, as she was the first to whom we could carry our petty grievances and whom we could reasonably expect to talk judiciously to us about the loss of a locker key. From Miss Woodruff we received our first absence or tardiness excuses which were so all important if we wished to remain in College High. Vfhen Miss Grundy came, us and our queer ways.

The great task of finding competent, agreeable colleges in which everyone could continue his education was made easier by Mr. Smithis wide experience and dependable advice.

The establishment of our school paper, THE CRIER, was of course an event in our history which tended greatly to heighten our pride in our school, while the adoption, last year, of the custom of producing an annual has raised the standards of our school activities to such a degree that we have acquired a new, intensified interest in them and their development. We always look forward to our annual party and Hallowe'en dance, our Class Day, and like events, with a certain degree of apprehension, but we invariably look back upon them with pride and satisfaction.
