One year has passed since the now world famed “Screech OwF ' first ap- peared. The year 1927 has been one of progress for this paper in spite of the adverse business conditions and the difficulties that confront any newly instituted periodical. The great expense of publishing a magazine of this type requires the wholehearted co-operation of the students in the high school both in subscribing and submitting material for publication. This paper in the past has been sup- ported loyally by the majority of pupils but why not have every student a subscriber — every student a booster? If you consider yourself a student of M. H. S. you should feel obliged to subscribe because it is your paper and your duty to support it. At this time I think it is also fitting and proper to call on the Alumni for their support. You may be out of high school 50 years but you should still take an interest in the doings of your Alma Mater. The best means of keep- ing informed about the activities that are going on is to subscribe to the “Screech Owh ' which is now one of the most influential periodicals of its kind being published in any high school in Massachusetts. The business end of this paper is the end which requires the most at- tention because it is of vital import- ance to its success. The business men of the town have been keenly inter- ested in the “Screech Owl’ ' and have supported it most generously by con- tributing advertisements. The rates which we charge for “ads” are far be- low the rates of other school papers but we think they are sufficient as long as we are able to finance the paper successfully. It is wise to ad- vertise in the “Screech Owl” because this paper goes into the homes of the best people, the people who are your customers. If you are in business and business isn’t good get in touch with our business manager or some mem- ber of the staff and we will see that you are accommodated. In closing I would like to thank all those who have in the past aided in any way the success of this paper. Editor. Why Go to School Everybody who intends to amount to something in this world must get ready and schools are the best answer to this problem. It pays in dollars and cents. One who leaves early is shut out from all the professions. Almost anybody can work with his hands and feet and everyone ought; but the boy who quits school early is condemning him- self to work only with his hands and feet for the rest of his life. A girl may get a place in a ten cent store as soon as she is allowed to leave
