MEDI.EY The Maroon and White nN THE school year 1907-1908 the Maroon and White, our school periodical, was established under the efficient tutelage of our Principal, Mr. Z. M. Smith. Raymond Southworth was made Editor-in-chief and with him at the helm it grew to be an established success. The trend of its character is along literary lines with a smattering of humor thrown in, not giving too great an amount of space to Athletics as some papers of this kind are wont to do. It has a good exchange department wherein its faults and merits and those of other such issues are stated clearly and generously. The Maroon and White appears each month of the school year excepting September and February, or the months beginning the Semesters, at which times the Staff is too busy planning an onslaught upon “credits” to attend to the publishing business. This year the paper has had at its head Ralph Yeager and Ethel Edwards who have proved themselves amply sufficient for the work at hand. All issues have put in their appearance at the proper time and have met with general satisfaction. Of course there are always those who find fault with any ambitious and industrious attempt no matter on whose part it may be. But these are not counted on the highway to success over which our paper is most surely journeying. A school periodical is a most pre-eminent factor in binding together the social and work-a-day life of the institution. There opportunities are given to develop possibilities in all branches of literature. There the humorist. the philosopher, the poet, the novelist, and the artist may meet on an equal footing where their talents may be displayed and their accomplishments noised abroad. When the paper is kept sound in principle and with out discrimination in its statements it is bound to he appreciated and respected by all who read it. It tends to familiarize the reader with his fellow students and their work. Feeling that the Maroon and White stands forth for these precedents, all health, wealth and prosperity is wished towards its future circulation and the accomplishment of its mission. 18
