'1- We Bow To Our' Advertisers E wish to express our sincerest thanks to those merchants who have conf tinued their support despite hard times and to those new advertisers who have shown their confidence in us and our patronage by advertising this year. It is because of their generous support and Scholarship GAIN the greatest aim of school is being tackled forcefully by pupils themselves. The seniors are leading a hopeful crusade for higher scholarship. Everyone at heart wants to do good work. The ques' tion is how to accomplish it. The idea is not to develop geniuses or to make us all brilliant scholars but merely to make every bit of brain in our heads exert its greatest effort. It is not a cruel attempt to overtax our brains but a laudable striving to make the most of our actual ability. After much deliberation, the seniors have hit upon a plan to encourage this ideal. Competition is not particularly confidence that we have been able to bring forth a BLOTTER undiminished in size and we hope in quality in this year of worldfwide depression. We cannot overemphasize our indebtedness to them. Therefore, let us repeat that timefworn appeal with more than usual earnestness: Patronize our advertisers. Encouraged original but usually effective. Consef quently a banner will be given every month to the class in the High School which earns the highest scholarship average. The honored class will then have the privilege of hanging the banner in its room until the next month when it again goes to the class maintaining the highest scholarship. The plan is still very young and its success cannot be determined until it has had the test of time. Student cooperation is the deciding factor. Won't each one of you help yourself and xyour class to be successful in this campaign? Every creditable mark is a step toward the ban' ner, a diploma and a gratifying future. 8

I 1 THE BLOTTER lKewelForest Continued on the Accredited List Y the unanimous vote of the Commission on Secondary Schools, KewfForest School has been continued 'for two years on the List of Accredited Secondary Schools of the Association of Colleges and Second' ary Schools of the Middle States and Maryland. This Association examines and approves or disapproves of secondary schools in Delaware, District of Columf bia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Panama Canal Zone and Pennsylvania. Of the 767 schools which have submitted reports, 557 have been approved. In passing on a secondary school, many things are considered: QD Organization and Administration, Q21 Preparation of Teachers, Q31 The Teaching Load, Q41 Program of Studies and Q51 Physical Equipment. The commission cooperates in every way with the institutions of higher learning and the academic stand' ing of the graduates of KewfForest School, in the colleges which they are attending or have attended, is an imporf tant factor in the commissions attitude toward the local school. Membership in this Association is one of the highest honors which can come to any secondary school. Gunn Chewing Q An editorial in a modern vein, meant to reform young sinners., IHOUGH we are told by advertisements that gumfchewing is one of the arts mas' tered by the intelligensia, andfof course our school considers itself a member of this group, Kewfflorest puts its intellectual footldown on chewing. Our parents all agree, and I believe we really do ourselves, that it isn't quite the thing for young ladies and young gentle' men to do. But we all seem to ind enjoyment in forbidden fruit , and I suspect that is the main reason why we chew. If we only realized, however, what a stupid lack of thought and com' mon sense we show by committing this misdemeanor, we should save many dolf lars, and put'Wrigley's and the corner stationery store on the bread line. Whenever we think of someone tough , or shall we say, not of the better classes, we picture a girl whose highly rouged lips are constantly rotating from her energetic use of chewing gum. If we chew, we really should not place ourselves above her class of society. Though she may chew because she has been taught no better, we chew by choice, and show a lack of good taste. Therefore, the next time you ride on a subway, and feel generally disgusted by the lack of breeding shown by the people around you in their habit of chewing gum, think of yourselves, and go, with the blessings of KewfForest upon you, and sin no more.
