THIS HIGH SCH MANUFACTURE OF PAPER. The ancients did not have such paper as is now in common use. They used a kind made from the inner bark of a reed-like plant, called the papyrus, from which our word paper comes. The barks of trees were used for similar purposes by our European ancestors. The Chinese were the first to make paper from pulp and the knowledge of this method reached Europe through the Arabs. Cotton and linen rags, old paper. straw. esparto grass and other substances were for a long time the only sources of supply of paper-mak- ing materials. As time advanced and the uses for paper increased, the paper-mal-'ers were not able to supply the demand, and this led to the in- vention of wood pulp for use in its manufacture. OOL ANNUAL 17 In making paper from rags and other similar materials they were chopped and the dust blown out of the-mg they are then boiled in water with soda and lime and put into a pulp machine in which the rags are washed clean, bleached white and beaten into pulp. Coloring for colored paper is added to the pulp. clay is used to make it heavier and smoother, and casein to harden the surface, otherwise the ink would run on it just as it does on blotting paper. VVhen wood pulp is used, the wood is chopped and put into a digester with sulphite of lime. This separates the impurities from the cellulose fibre. After washing and bleaching it is made into a sheet like blotting paper for ease of transportation, and run over a heated cylinder to dry out the moisture. A LIBERTY UNION SCHOOL BOY. XVho is the boy, and where has he been, XVith a bunch of whiskers on his chin? He is jolly and full of fun .Xnd as noisy as a gun. As he sits at his desk in school. Little does he care about the rule For the spit balls he likes to fly. To make the teacher frown and sigh. ,Nt his recitations he likes to play Hut always has something to say. You may consider him as a boy For he loves to tease and annoy. VVhen, as the teacher hears a whisper, She knows it's the boy with a chin Whisker.

VVe are ?'llW3y5' home and we extend a cordial invi- tation to the Board of Trustees to come and spend an afternoon with us -wma often, for in this way. alone. will you be able to keel! in CIUSC touch with our school activities and appre-inte our needs. Although an effort has been made to increase our library. still there re- mains another demand. VVe neefl more books by standard authors, if we are to become acquainted with the best literary productions. We Suggest an addition of good. stand- ard tiction. School spirit is nothing more nor less than patriotism confined in C1050 quarters. lt is the pride we take in our own institution and our own achievements. VVe. as individuals. can help create school spirit. and we. as a Student Body. working together for a common end, can foster it. This is the second edition of the lligh School Annual. Both faculty and pupils have labored earnestly and faithfully to make it the best possible. Owing to the great San Francisco ca- lamity we have been unable to have the cuts inserted in the paper accord- ing to our original plan. All the articles have been contrib- uted by the students. with the excep- tion of one which our .-Xlumna has kindly furnished, Some were written directly for the paper and others have been selected as representative of our daily work. The productions have come from all classes in both literary and commercial departments. By the publishing of the Annual we hope to arouse public interest in our school affairs and if possible to show seine of the benefits derived from high school education. VVe have tried to reveal the school in its best light and to represent to the public the local events and hap- penings of interest that have trans- pired during the year. This thank the business people of this lo- cality and nearby towns for the gen- erous way in which they have shown appreciation of our efforts by Business Managers wish to their freely contributing their advertise- ments for the linancial benefit of our second High School Annual. Espe- cially do we thank those who placed their ads in our Annual last year and who have handed in the same or larger ones this year. Now if the ads are a success they will not only bring in money to the Animal but also to the advertiser. So it can be plainly seen that it is the duty of every one who reads the L. U. H. S. Annual to patronize its advertisers as far as possible.
