A lf will ' iff X 1 1 THE ANNUAL High Schools all over the country are now being confronted with the problem of what to do about their annuals. At the present prices school papers cost entirely too mnch to be practical, and if some means of cutting down their cost is not devised they will have to be given up in the near future. The annual, of course, is supposed to represent the schoolQ It is pub- lished by the students and should show what they themselves are capable of doing-- the result of their best efforts. If the school has the money it can hire the work done, but for that matter it could hire its orchestra and glee clubs, and could pay for having the artwork doneg but what would the students get out of that? What good would it do the school? Al- most any school can pay for having a thing done, but not every one can do the thing well itself. With these points in mind we have attempted to print the Sequoia ourselves this year. We have the press and the off- ice practice class to run it, so why not? lt means more work but We can justly be proud of the result because it is our work. We hope that by another year the advertisements can be done away with also. The policy of printing the paper with the help of ads is not a good one. The business man gets nothing out of it: it is merely a gift on his part. There is no reason why, with our press in good Working order and a sufficient number of students who can do good Work, the next annual cannot be published Without asking the merchants for financial aid. Let's try!

A N S as are l , EDITOR'S NOTES Owing to the fact that we have done our own printing this year for the first time it has been necessary to omit Write-ups on some of the events which took place late in the year. Among these are: Girls' Track Eureka Won the county Championship with a score of 74 to Fortuna's 13g Ferndale's 115 and Arcata's 1. We also easily took first place in the National Telegraphic Meet held May 19. Stella Molash broke the National record for javelin throw and Elta Cartwright for the hundred yard dash. This is the greatest athletic victory Eureka has ever won. The score was Eureka 46--Bakersfield High 27 3 Florida State 24. There were seventeen schools entered from California alone. The last interclass current event contest was won by June Shields 2-B and Elizabeth Neal 3-A. These students will have their names engraved on the Library cup. Eureka took first and second places in the typing contest this year both for accuracy and speed. For Speed- First Place Berneice Little, 53 words net for fifteen min- utes. Second Place Agnes Sundquist, 43 words net for fifteen minutes. For Accuracy--First Place Norene Cave. second Place Bef-mice Little. K We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Sprague, who assisted us when the press needed adjustment--also to Clifford Clark, John Malloy, and Mrs. Nason who made it possible to get our Annual out on time. , rs-3? . l p , 1 s5,,,,,.,,.,. , gg . 2 up

Where murmuring maples whisper Their message so soft and low To the drowsy dreaming brook That ripples 'neath canopies below. This is our treasured Valley Happy in warm sunshine, our life Glides swiftly on to our Maker When he marks an end to our strife. Ralph Irving--4 B
