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.

The lung lust leushanh June Meng, ,I7. URRY up, ye lazy, idlin' man. Ye'd bether be gettin' thot work done before Miss Luella gets home. Thus scolding and 55 adding a long list of directions, big robust Bridget put. Mike to work. Their mistress, Miss Luella Hyman had been away visiting for about a month, and today the two faithful servants were making preparations for receiving their mistress ho-me. After placing a luncheon upon the table in the cheery dining room, Bridget had gone to the kitchen in- tent upon making some biscuits, the kind Miss Luella liked so well, when she saw Mike idling and after putting himi to some work, went about her own duties. Bye, yes a lucky man, alright, alright, to find sech a lovable dinner as this here waitin' fer ye. Now jest set yerself down and help yerselff, This came from a ragged-looking tramp, who had come in from a side door and seated him- self at the table set for Miss Luella. He was a forlorn, yet a happy looking tramp, having on an old, torn and faded coat. His hat was minus the brim and a shock of red hair was displayed, matching his great brown freckles. The sole of one shoe was loose and Happed about when he walked, while his toes peeked out through a hole in the other, and one trouser leg was ripped almost to the knee. He looked about the room, then glancing over the table saw the salad. He helped himself to this, wondering what kind of stuff it could be, then filled his pockets with fruit and nuts. After he had eaten some rolls, three slices of ham, and a piece of cake, he went out into the hall, where he examined everything he saw and then went up the stairs. Whist, Oi wonder fwhat's up here. Belave Oi'l1 go in and see fer meselff, So saying the tramp stepped into a pretty little bedroom. Q Soon he heard someone coming. Faith and fwhat can thot be ? he muttered to himself. As if acting by instinct rather than reason he spran be- hind the door while Mike came in to build a tire in the fireplace. While Mike was busily engaged in building the fire, the tramp slid out from behind the door behind him. 9 Then he hurried down the stairs and wandered about until he reached the kitchen. Here he spied Bridget and not caring to arouse any commotion he re- treated into the back hall. The trap door into the cellar was open and the tigamp clambered down the stairs to see what he could find next. He looked about in hopes of finding something to quench his thirst when he ran across a box of bot- tles full of champagne. Tis jest fwhat Oi want! he exclaimed joyfully as he pulled off the top of one and began to drain its' contents. How in the name of the saint himself did thot door iver get locked? It was open when Oi began to fix that fire, be jabers l Poor Mike, he was always getting into trouble. My, he thought, wonlt Bridget Hx me if Oi don't get down there moighty quick. 'lLet me out,', he yelled, Ye spalpeen, Oi say let me out. jest ye wait til Oi get me hands on the bye fwhat didn't know any betterf' Brut all his expostu- I4 '
