,i f 'L A ll I I' -7 at fe ,Wil ' .. ' , -1- ' ' The Highlander ln the college life at Highland Park, the Highlander has played an impor- tant part. lt has bound the students together in their hopes and aspirations, it has unified them in their efforts and ideals, it has reflected the sunshine and gloom occasioned by athletic or forensic victories and defeats. Its pages have been enlivened by that type of witticisms which only college students can orig- inate. It has kept the outside world in touch with the college by showing from week to week the work being done by the various departments, it has kept the college in touch with the outside world by calling the attention of the students to happenings and events of interest and importance. Its policy and aim has been to promote college loyalty and enthusiasm, and to express, rather than to mold, student opinion. How well it has succeeded in this you, its readers, may judge. The Highlander first came into existence in September, 1908, and was pub- lished during the year '08-'09 as a monthly magazine, managed by J. Edward Tuift, Fred Rewoldt and R. Leslie Herrick. It was a success ill every way, but at the opening of the following school year it was changed to the form of a newspaper and was published weekly by W. B. Sadilek, editor-in-chief, and Mr. Skidmore, business manager. It received the official recognition and the hearty co-operation of faculty and students alike, which insured its success. In 1914 plans were laid to enlarge it into a community paper and it was christened the Highland Park Journalf' The plan was not entirely a success, so it was restored to its original form and has been published since strictly as a college paper and has been a member of the College Press Association. The year '17-'18 began with J. W. Darr, editor and manager, Erma L. Krout and Velyma Ford, assistant editors, and Beatrice Leinbach, news editor. Later Mr. Darr went into service and Mark L. Thomson became business manager, Miss Krout taking the position as editor-in-chief, with Beatrice Leinbach and H. L. Garrett as assistant editors, and the following corps of reporters: Y. M. C. A., 0. E. Spooner, Y. W. C. A., Erma L. Krout, Liberal Arts, Edith Denny, Normals, Rowena Gates, Commercial, R. H. Bower, Pharmacy, Fred Beatty, Oratory, Anna Bess Hart, Primary, Ellen Phipps, Home Economics, Velyma Ford, Music, Madelene Watson, Engineering, Harry Dietert, Athletics, Will Bray, Stall' Cartoonist, Fred Flader. The history of the Highlander closed with the issue of May 17, 1918, and in the future it will live only in the memories of that loyal band of faculty, stu- dents und altunni to whom it has meant so much.
