LIAVIIQYN Q ann J prepared to do this right thing and do it. Don't expect the right thing always to be a big thing. Don't wait for the big things. He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any. As you go on from class to class, you will find, as we have found, that there is nothing that costs so little and goes so far as courtesy. Be men or women in the best senses of the word. Play the game fair with everybody. Shun fault- finding and fault-finders. Be patient. Rome Wasn't built in a day. A high school senior can't be made in one year. Your patience will achieve more than your force. Finally as you go on from year to yearg lend a hand. Do not be isolated as classes or as india viduals, assume your shares of the common bur- dens of school life. No one is useless in this World who lightens the burden of someone else. This, then, is the little message we leave with you. Get started, keep going, be prepared for every emergency, be courteous, and lend a hand. We have enjoyed our associations with you during the time that we have been together in Leavenworth High School. You have been great schoolmates. During this last year some of the classes have accomplished more than any other classes have ever accomplished in the history of this school. We step out of the picture re- luctantly, but we know confidently that you Juniors about to become Seniors, you Sopho- mores about to become Juniors, and you Fresh- men about to become Sophomores, will cherish the good name of Leavenworthians. Finally we urge you to take this message and apply it practically in helping the Class of 1930 when it meets you in the new school year. Warren Joseph Lewis. Page Seventy-three S-9: as

TECH-O-SCOPE Perhaps the greatest voluntary student accom- plishment made during the past term in Leaven- worth was the establishment of a school paper by the Junior Class. Having observed the futile at- tempt of the 1925 Juniors to organize a student publication, the 1926 third-year pupils took up the project with determination to see it through. But nobody in the school knew about it. They kept their plan a secret. They held meetings of which only Juniors had knowledge. They elected astaff for their intended paper. Assignments were made. Material came in. Then they sprang their surprise. On Wednesday afternoon, Febru- ary 3, 1926, they presented the school with their Tech-O-Scope. The first nine issues of the Tech-0-Scope were only mimeographed copies. Yet every stu- dent in the school was pleased with them. They were full of newsy, interesting material about all the classes. No class was left out. There was no junior tinge attached to it. Pupils read the contents of each issue eagerly. This done, they waited impatiently for the next number. The circulation of the Tech-O-Scope grew by leaps and bounds. The first issue numbered 220 copies, the second 235, the third 250. The last mimeographed number had a run of 265. Meanwhile sales money was coming in fast. Although the paper sold for but one cent a copy, Scope Board oflicials announced after the ninth mimeographed issue that the next number would be a regular printed paper. A drive was then started to make the school 100 per cent in sub- scription to the Tech-O-Scope. One week passed and the goal was reached. Then came the new, bigger, and better Tech-O-Scope. It con- tained four pages. The type was smaller than in the former mimeographed numbers. Therefore it had more than twice as much material in it as the mimeographed paper. The quality of the material was also better, and as for technicali- ties, the paper could hardly be criticised. In gen- eral it was a huge improvement over the mimeo- graphed Tech-O-Scope. The Tech-O-Scope is still growing, both in size and circulation. Beginning with the eleventh Page Seventy-five
