1 vw. 09-7 F7 el I E D R'A'- a ll Li!!-AX Oo 5 ..q 0 42' Nom- But An lislitor linows .tn l'I1litol s f'al!'es lt is with a feeling of pardonzelfle pride that we present to you, this, our last issue of the Bouncer for the school year. We feel that we have done our best to make the paper a little more complete in some respects than it has ever been before. Of course there will be plenty ot' criticism but we have learned to ex- pect it and would feel lost without it. For if we do our level best, some are sure to say we could have done better. If we print selections from the Exchanges, some say we are too lazy to be original. lf we make jokes, they say we are silly and foolish, and if we omit them it is because we lack wit, If we give a compliment, we are looked upon as partial and if we don't we are considered unap- preciative. Therefore, how well we have suc- ceeded in making this paper a suc- cess we leave for you to judge. May your criticism be as gentle and help- ful as possible. The More Prepared, The More Powerful To-day We are laying the founda- tion for the men and women of to- nu rrow. It was Wlillmott who said, l'lalueation is the apprenticeship of life. Shall we not make the most of our opportunities and develope our minds to compare favorably with the other intelligfent people of our time or shall we pass by these oppor- tunities by neglecting our 'studies time to frivolous are questions that each for himself. and devoting our pastimes? These we must answer Our future life depends, to a great extent, upon the days of our youth. 'l'herel'ore, if we, as students, wish to make our mark in the world We must from new on devote ourselves to the variety of tasks set before us here at school. In order to do this We must first be bodily as well as mentally fit. This can be done by combining work with play and then when we reach manhood and woman- hood we shall be ready for the bigger things that await us in this busy, progressive world of ours. Let us keep ever before us the idea that the more knowledge We attain now, the more powerful will be our station in the days that come.
