EDITORIAL FS we come to the close of this last year in M. U. S.. all of lis are eager to push on and conquer new fields. Some are going to work but whatever they are going to do, they should always have that ambition to go onward. Of course, there are going to be trials and tribulations all through life, but if you carry the spirit that old ML U. S. has tried to instill in you, through life, all obstacles will be overcome. Always try to make M. U. S. proud of you by achieving big things and putting to use the things that you learned way back there in the little school house on the hill. Now, as we come to the end of the Red and Blue, we find a our hearts as we finish writing the events of our last year at M. I . S that we could not stay at this dear old school forever, but the short when we look back over the happy years that we spent at the Blue, and think of the joyful days, with never a thought of tomo adness in We know ime seems so -Jed and rrow. At the close of this year some of us are going out into the world of hard knocks and sorrows, while for others it means a step higher into college. We know that all of us will never be together at one time again, so let us wish one another the best of luck as we leave dear old M. U. S. forever, and keep this annual to remember the carefree days at the Red ami Blue. At end of a school year it is often a good plan to look back and see what we have accomplished. There are times when someone will say ' what have I accomplished? What good is there in a school paper or what is the use of wasting time in writing for a paper? ' ' The Topics and Annual are meant to be interesting to the boys and also the parents. It records the daily events, and tries to maintain the spirit of M. U. S. If it does the latter in even the smallest way, it is worth while publishing. It has been the aim of the staff to accomplish these things and if they have benefited the school and boys, I am sure thai time has not been spent for nothing. In publishing this annual, we want to thank M. U. S., as a whole, in the splen- did way in which it has supported the Topics and Annual, The boys haw been very patient when the paper was late in coming out, and they have taken the kidding and jokes about them with a line spirit. We also want to thank the boys who have gone out and brought in advs. for the Topics and the Red and Blue. It takes money to publish a paper and without it we could not have published this Annual.
