2 THE CHRONICLE EDITORIAL. With this issue we place our final offering before our readers. Although we have made great strides of advancement during the year, still we realize that we are far from perfect and we feel there is and always will be room for improvement in the various departments of the Chronicle just as there is in everything else. The Literary department is nothing less than a training school, the refuge of students who have an incentive to write. Unfortunately, however, very few students seem to have had the necessary incentive. It takes time, often a long time, for students to come to the realization that this particular department plays the most important part of any in the school paper. Not only original stories and verse have been encouraged but also articles on current topics of which we have had several during the year namely, “Electricity of Today,” “Single Session vs. Double Session,” and “The New High School.” Our Exchange department has grown continually so that now it embraces school papers from many states. This interchanging of papers serves as a means of keeping in touch with the student activities of schools as well as a means of offering and receiving suggestions for betterment. , The Alumni department has fared exceedingly well considering our handicap, the lack of a unified association among our graduates. There are no definite alumni activities to record and the simple chronicling of whereabouts and doings of a few gives this section a tone of monotony. Several, times have we attempted to obtain articles from our graduates but without avail. Our only salvation for the alumni department lies in the formation of an association among those who have the interest of our school at heart. , Criticism of school spirit and conduct together with pleas for manual training, better scholarship, and support of the Chronicle characterized the editorials. We are exceedingly glad to have been able to record a most successful year in sports especially in Basketball and Baseball. Besides publishing accounts of games we have exerted our influence toward securing the enthusiasm and support of the student body with some measure of success. Through these columns we hope to establish an active Athletic Association—one that will be worthy of the name. Our news and joke sections have taken care of themselves the former chronicling undergraduate activities and passing events and the latter the students’ wit together with carrying Out that old saying, “Every Knock Is a Boost.” , We have given our best efforts, efforts of which we are proud and which we hope will be a sound basis for next year’s staff to work upon. To Wallingford High School and the Chronicle—adieu.
