Seventy-five questions were asked on the flag. In addi- tion to submitting the answers the students wrote a five minute essay on the flag. The contest was divided into two divisions, namely, for the girls and boys. Due to the large number of students entering, judges eliminated by manuscript. As a result of the elimination six girls and five boys delivered their orations on May 1, before the assembly. Those who spoke were: Erna Johnson, Nancy Mason, Margaret Scanlon, Beatrice Watkins, Clara Pennock, Nancy Podas, Robert Davenny, Arthur Pennock, William Ham- ilton, Herman Rendler, and Donald Hareid.

cElu' tireless The Wireless, the voice of E. H. S., was first established in the fall of 1909, while W. H. Dorgan was principal. It was typewritten, and read each Friday by the editor-in-chief at the Friday afternoon rhetorical exer- cises. That was while the high school was still in the grade building. Principal Dorgan suggested the name “The Wireless,” because Marconi’s invention was new at the time and it suggested to him pep and enterprise. The first printed issue was published October 23, 1914, and consisted of two double sheets, which, folded together, made'.a paper containing eight pages, each six by ten and one-half inches. Seven years ago' The Wireless assumed its present form, making up the front page of the Edmonds T ribune-Review. Lawrence Hubbard is the editor of the Wireless for the year 1928' 1929 and Thomas Scanlon is business manager. The rest of the staff, which is changed every week, is made up of members of the journalism i class. Mrs. Bliss, faculty advisor, also fills the position of journalism teacher. The Wireless has been edited on a more strictly journalistic basis this year than ever before, due to the study of newspaper writing and mod' ( ern newspapers, carried on by the staff under Mrs. Bliss' supervision. Besides the regular weekly edition of the Wireless, several special edi- tions have been published by various school organizations. The Annual staff took over the paper for one week during the Annual drive for sub- scriptions, and the Torch Society published it several weeks later. The Wireless staff itself has put out several editions for special occasions, such as the Thanksgiving number, the Christmas number, and the April Fool • edition. Every week, two special reporters are appointed, who take their as' signments from Mr. Cloud, editor of the Tribune, and write articles for the Tribune-Review. On April 28, the Wireless staff published the entire Tribune'Review and received many favorable comments on that edition of the paper. The Wireless has been placed near the top of the list of school papers, not only because of its business-like appearance, but also because its size corresponds with that of a sheet from a regular newspaper. This is an ad- vantage to the journalism students because they become familiar with writ- ing articles for a regular newspaper. twenty-nine
