EDIOKIAL As the space of The Toka is somewhat limited this year, it will be impossible to say very much here as to the progress of the High School during the past season. A glance through the rest of the paper will give the work done by the pupils of the school. As not much has been said regarding the needs of the High School, a few of the most important ones will be mentioned here. It is only fair, however, to give due consideration to the work done by the school board and the interest they have shown in helping to make school work more of a pleasure. A new tennis court has been made and a large number of students are now using both courts and have fully justified the making of the new one. The track which was made this spring has called forth a large number of field men. The interest taken in this work was hardly anticipated, and quite a few track men give promise of making good. There are still several things which the school needs and which would greatly help its standing. These can only be mentioned here. They are first, an adequate gymnasium, for since the old one. which was not suitable for gymnasium purposes, was traas formed into a manual training department there has been no place to play indoor games except at a large expense to the students. The campus could at a small expense be made into one of the show places of Grants Pass and would be something that not only the students but also the school patrons would take a pride in claiming. And then, last but not least, the High School needs greater support from the town people. At the last school election, when the question of building a gymnasium was at stake, only a dozen people voted on the subject. The vote was even, and the gym was therefore turned down by the lack of a deciding vote. Better turn over a new leaf and help us. 23
