HARRY KIRK, Jr. Kd it or-in Chief CHARLES ARNT ARNOLD KRUEGER HuKiness Manager Art Editor JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE Let us stop you a moment before plunging into the depths of this little book. VVe must burden you with a terrible confession. This is not a work of art! We admit this truth prevails rather from circumstance than choice. We have long since realized that our artistic deficiencies remove us far from the sphere of Michael Angelo and Rembrandt. With this awful fact staring us in the face we have set for ourselves the not unpleasant task of drowning our tears in a sea of foolishness and literature. Hence this volume of the Elstonian. If, as you glance through these pages, a tear gathers in your eyes or a smile Hits across your face, a base hit will be registered on our sub-conscious score-board of satisfaction. A touch of art may nourish the soul, but a good laugh always aids the digestion. Now that we are pretty well acquainted, we feel it is fairly safe to allow you to brave the hazards within. 5 THE ELSTONIAN STALE.

MR. KEELER AND THE HOARD OF EDUCATION it hardly seems necessary for us to print a noinen caption underneath the picture of the gentleman who is seen at the upper left hand corner of this page. Although we are not brought into daily contact with him he is. we think, a familiar figure to all. Sometimes we imagine his happiest moments are those when he stands either on the Auditorium or Assembly room platform and pours forth candy-coated pills of wisdom which we may either chew on and digest or swallow whole. Our Mr. Keeler is the natural born droll humorist you would expect a man of his calibre and size to be. We get that impression from Santa Claus, who is always pictured along the same lines. We suppose he will inevitably win for himself the title of “Old Laugh a Line” because of the subtle wit in each sentence of his speech. In a word he is the very personification of jollity and good cheer. Disregarding technical requirements which are easy enough to attain, that, we believe, is his highest qualification for the office he now holds. : s A word at this time should also be spoken for the school board. It is our misfortune to know little of this group of individuals, since their work is like the forces of nature which accomplish things unseen. Such work is of the highest importance, and if in our time we are ever brought into this service, we shall soon realize the honor one possesses in having his name inscribed on its roll. Pres.
