not help but wonder at the lowered position these two members of our class had taken. From the streets of Havana, we were taken to a large San Francisco hos- pital, where we saw May johnson, busy, capable matron, and were shown the room where she was trying to ease the suffering of a pale young man, who had been slightly injured in the auto race that day. The patient, the nymph told us, was Sidney Nielsen. The scene shifted from the hospital to a theater in Berlin. The curtain was up and a girl dressed in a gown, which by its beautyfadded to the charm of the singer stood alone upon the stage. When she sang her audience was spellbound, and after her song, she was obliged to respond to an encore, her audience was so insistent. It was then that we recognized in her graceful and gracious manner our former schoolmate, Mae King. As the curtain fell the orchestra began to play, and we were astounded to see Mabel Lanini acting as leader. The scene had changed, but it was the same city, only a different building, the famous College of Berlin, and, acting as instructor of medicine, we found Esther Hough. One of the students was Kinnison Boynton. We had never known that he was interested in medicine and thought, perhaps, there might be some other reason for his presence there. The jeweled wand sparkled, as the fairy waved it over her head, and revealed to us a little Fishing village, and on the river which ran by, a boat drifted with the tide and in it, casting his nets, was Meredith Ring. As the long, purple shadows of twilight began to steal over the lake we were shown a street in Washington, D. C.. It was thronged with people, waiting to see the women who had marched across the continent, to plead for suffrage. The leader was our carefree Jennie Trigg. Among the crowd who were gath- ered there, we saw a refined looking lady, sitting in an automobile, whom we were told was a prominent beauty specialist. In her we recognized our former classmate, Florence Crosby. Night was closing over the landscape-only dimly could we discern the floating garments of the fairy: and her wand, in spite of its gems, looked dead and dull in her hand. As we gazed upon her-gradually fading into the lake-we suddenly real- ized that she had not told us what we should be doing in 1930. Eagerly we called to her, begging that she unfold the Future for us. But only the soft ripple of the tiny waves, as they washed the sandy shore, and only the faint echo of an eerie Good-bye floated back to us from the rippling sur- face of the pool. I0

QEiJiturial This issue of the Tomahawk will-be printed in Palo Alto, where we get a uniform price of two dollars per page for an edition of five hundred copies -quality of stock, size of page, composition and presswork equal in every way to last yearls issue, done in San Francisco at a cost to us of four dollars and a half per page for body and five dollars per page for Mads for an edition of four hundred copies. This saving of about two hundred dollars will make it more than self-supporting and yield a surplus for the Student Body treas- ury, instead of calling for the usual appropriation to meet a deficit. Previous to this year, it has been the custom to pick the staff from the Senior class alone, thus making it necessary, each year, for an entirely new and inex- perienced staff to take up the work. As this kind of work is new to most stu- dents the editing of the paper is rather a difficult task. However, this year the staff was chosen from the whole Student Body, ex- cept the editor and business manager, who were elected from the Senior class. The plan should be a help to those publishing the paper, in the future, as some will have had previous experience. Such an arrangement should also make the stu- dents take more interest in the paper, and consider themselves as having some part in it. To put out a good and meritorious paper, the entire Student Body has to be behind it and to take an active interest in it. This is one way to show school spirit. School spirit does not consist merely of rooting hard for some athletic team, but in supporting the school in all its activities and helping to make it better each year. This paper should be representative of the school and should show what the school can do. The aim of the staff was not to produce as large a paper as possible, but to bring it within a reasonable limit for a school ofthis size and still put the best material into it that we possibly could. We have noticed a tendency, this year, to make the school grounds cleaner and neater. Flowers have been planted in front of the building and along the walk. In the main school yard itself work has been done. The ground around the trees has been cleaned up and made to look much neater. The General Sci- ence class has done much of this. It is always a good thing for a school to have neat and attractive grounds. Strangers seeing the place immediately get a good impresion of the school. We hope that this tendency to fix up the appearance of the grounds will last. The staff wishes to thank all those who in any way helped in the publishing of this paper and hope that in future years just as good support will be given.
