George Campbell, ' 07, one of the five honor students of Sheffield Scientific school, wins a place as stroke oar number four on the Yale ' varsity crow. What ' s the matter with the Great P ' alls High School? Nothing at all! Good news spreads slowly, so I feel that it is my duty to help in spreading it. All of us do not appreciate the High School as much as we should. One or the best ways by which we can be made sensible of its value is by the knowledge of what the school ' s finished products have done, can do, and are doing. Nor need 1 confine myself to one per- son as an example. Lharles Lowery, ' 01), who is attending the University of ] ennsylvania, and Aline Chowen. ' 09, who is attending Vellesle3 ' , are making- good records. Chai ' les McCowan, ' 07, is editor-in-chief of tiie Kaiman Weekly, published by the University of Montana. Guy .MiHegan, ' (18, who is attending th? State Agricultural College at Bozeinan, will teach there this summer. I am tak- ing, as examples, only a fev,- of the many High school gra Iuat(s who have niail ' e good. The school puts her standard high, and aims to keep it so. Because I mention, as examples, oidy those attending colleges, I do not mi ' an to say that those are the only ones wlioni the ]Iioh school has benefited. -Many of the High school graduates have not been fortunate enough to attend college. Put they are doing as nuich good in their line as the college students are in their line. P.oth are upholding the standard of the school. The girls who holds i)ositiona in offices as stenog- raphers anil clerks are the best in tlieTr line. The Thgdi school has even enabled the rirls to become better housewives. 1 i)rcdict that the time is not distant when a person may know that the house- wife has graduated from the Great Falls High school by the cake she bakes. The High school graduate, in business, is a success. He is respected as an hon- est, efficient business man, and that is the kind of a man that is always needed. Some person may ask, Why do you give the credit to the school for the graduate ' s individual work? I assert, that the way the graduate does his in- dividual work is inseparably combined with his former training in the High school. It is during the four years of his High school life that his character is formed. This is the period in the lif- of an individual when impressions are most easily made upon the mind. The habits foi-med stick with him all his life. It is in the Higli School that theindi il- ual first experiences wliat the problems of life are like. In every subject stud- ied there are problems, like those in after-life, that can he mastered only after hard work and perseverance. The following qtiotation fits the case very v.-ell: Character, like porcelainwar-j, must be painted before it is glazed. There can be no cliange after it is l)urned in. The High school is the place where character is painted and glazed. After that there is no change in it. Therefore, the best way a person can judge the efficiency of the High school is by the men and women it turns out. I believe that the Great Falls High school is not found wanting. I believe that the Great Falls High school is an institution that has kept its place well in the progressive development of Great Falls, and that it is a High school of whicli every citizen of Great Falls may justly be proiul. What did you say about the class of ' 10? Spoil tlie record? No! No! Just wait and see ! DUNCAN GARDNER, ' 10.

T H E R O L .N D U P 17 tliank our school mates, and especially our class mates, for the nian - things the} ' have done for us. Then, as editor-in-chief, we are under many obligations which we desire to acknowledge. The assistant editors have l)een faithful in the performance of their duties, and we do not see how the Round Up could ha •e been run without their assistance. We are under especial c: bligations to the business manager and his assistants, wdio have looked after the financial part of our business so admirably. They are complimented not only in the school, but in the city, too, for the hustling they have lone. It has won for our magazine a higher standing among the business men and put us on a firmer foot- ing. Just here we wish to thank the merchants and the Merchants ' Association for their patronage and support. Then we owe all those others who have patronized our publication by subscription or other- wise our sincerest thanks, and we hope they will support our suc- cessors as they have us. We are also under obligations to those wdio liave so cheerfully helped us by their writings. These have been the things after all that have made the Round Up so great a suc- cess. Then we desire to express our gratitude for the nice office which we now occupy and for its furnishings, which were mostly se- cured for us by the late Mr. Cary. With this issue our active connection with the Round Up ceases, but we shall always have its welfare at heart, and we wish it c erv success. It is the exponent of the whole Great Falls High School, and without it the school would lack many more things than it does now. To our successor as editor-in-chief we extend our hand, and hope he will find his duties pleasant. We trust he will perform those duties more efficiently and thoroughly than we have. But as the last act of our office, we desire to wind up with three times three cheers for the Round Up! May it ha e a long and prosperous life! t, 9
