The active management of the the paper is taken from Class of IQI2 and consign- ed to the Class of IQI3. The work this year we be- lialrhirinrg... lieve to be a success. The staff we know has prolited by and enjoyed the experience of the management of the EDITORIAL paper. The paper we have aimed to make enjoyable to the students and a credit to the school. If we have, even in a measure, accomplished this, we know that the work has been a success The greatest fault with the Kcramos is the lack of co-operation between the staff, or rather with the staff, of the students as regards material.

ltrranunn 1 9 The record of our preceding years of high school life has been entirely eclipsed by this, our last year. Again we made our mark in basket ball. Of the 'Kbig team, consisting of eight men, live were seniors, and the stand- ing of the team at the close of the season showed only four games on the wrong side of the reckoning. The greatest social triumph in the history of the high school was the Athletic held in the central building in October. 'l'oo much credit can not be given to those who were in charge of the func' tion The class is also distinguished by the large nun-ther of pupils possessinl cxtraordiiiary musical ability. To give due praise to our teachers all we can say is: Tim F.xcuL'rv: Gob Ihaess Turin: Evl-:Rv fjNlC.u To say much about the personal beauty of the members of '12 would not display a proper amount of mofl- esty. XVe simply refer you to the class pictures-which we frankly admit no :mf do us justice. Under our leadership a new high school builling has at last been se- cured. For the effective service ren- dered lry us, Ultjl2H inscribed above its portals will be an apprgzpriate and in- spiring memrsrial to the class.

If you can't laugh at theljokes of the age, laugh at the age of the jokes. Do all the workmen drop their tools the moment the whistle blows? asked one of the commission. UNO, not all, said the Workman who was acting as guide. Phe more orderly men have their tools put away before the whistle blows. ' D

Kei-amna 21 per and less a staff paper. It is the object of -the Kemmos to be a repre- sentative publication of East Liverpool High School and not a representative publication of a few members of East Liverpool High School. VVhen a stu- dent has helped elect the staff of the Kcramos, and paid his subscription fee, he has not begun to fulfill his true obli- gation to the paper and to the school lt is the privilege and the duty of ev- ery student to work unceasingly for the interest and betterment of the paper, both from a business and literary stand point. When every student has devel- oped this conception of the paper, then, and then only, will the paper have reached its highest possible develop- ment. These views may seem Utopian in character, but that a closer associa- tion between the staff and the student body will greatly improve the paper is clearly demonstrated by the work of the past. Another suggestion which we believe, if adopted, would prove of value to the paper, would be regular periodical meetings of the staff. By this method each member of the staff would come in direct contact with the work of the en- tire paper, and would feel a greater re- sponsibility and pride in his particular department. These are but suggestions, which, judging from this year's work, and that of former years, we believe could be used to good advantage. Ill! The editor desires to take this oppor- tunity to thank the Staff, the Faculty, the Contributors, and all who have ac- tively or indirectly helped in the Keramos Work for the year ended, to the Adver- tisers and to the Jos. Betz Printing Com- pany for the favors extended by them. The students of the East Liveroool High School have had opportunities re- cently of listening to several most prom-- inent men. On April 17, William Jennings Bryan visited our city and our school, speaking to the stu- dents in general assembly for a short time. May 14, President William How- ar.l Taft and ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, spoke in the city, and many of the High School students took ad- vantage of the opportunity offered of hearing these men. During the coming campaign, Ohio will be the battle ground of the parties, and East Liverpool is sure to be visited by many orators and men of note. Ev- ery student should take the opportunity offered of hearing these men not only for educational reasons, but that they may be better fitted to become useful citizens after leaving school. The production of citizens, who mean something to a com- munity, is one of the primary objects of our educational system, and no better method than hearing questions and issues of the day discussed by men who are at the centre of affairs can be found to carry -out this object. We study the principles of government in the school, but when we hear them discussed by the men who actively and actually carry them out, they are presented to us more in the light of realities, and we realize more clearly how really democratic is our gov- ernment, what power there is in the peo- ple, and what a privilege it is to be an American citizen. Let every student at- tend the meetings. Bintin- t gniahvh Hiatinrz ........ 1119 The Girls' Issue was a complete suc- cess from every standpoint. The liter- ary sections of the paper were spicy,
