OAK, LILY AND IVY. 7 lEMtorials. ANNOUNCEMENT. The Editors of the Oak, Lily and Ivy announce the following prizes for the year 190S-09 : First prize $5, offered by Miss Inez L. Gay, for the best single article, either story or essay. Second prize, $3, offered by the Oak, Lily and Ivy, for the second best single article, either story or essay. Third prize, $2, offered by the Oak, Lily and Ivy. Competition is open to every student of the Milford High school. Each article must be at least 1200 words in length and must be wholly the work of the contributor and so subscribed to by him. The articles will be judged by competent judges, not residing in Milford. The prizes will be awarded on the night of the graduation exercises. With this issue the Oak, Lily and Ivy enters upon the twenty-fifth year of its existence. We feel that this volume, which marks the end of a quarter century of publication, should be the best series of papers which has ever represented the school. It is the ambition of the editors to place before the people a paper that will be worthy of notice and which will keep the Alumni familiar with and interested in the welfare of the school. But at the same time we realize our own inexperience, our limitations and our needs. Therefore we earnestly request that the Alumni and friends of the school make suggestions and lend their co-operation in bettering our paper. We do not see why a person should lose completely his interest in his Alma Mater upon graduation. The knowledge which a man gains at college is based upon the foundations laid in high school. For the man who does not pursue his education in a higher institution the pleasure which he draws from literature he owes to his high school course. So let not the Alumni forget the high school and the organization existing therein, and let him bear in mind that the editors will be only too glad to receive and utilize any suggestions made to them. We had hoped that former Principal Herbert W. Lull, in whose fertile brain the idea of this paper originated, and to whom the success of its eaily days was largely due, would contribute some reminiscences of the ten years of his connection with the school to this Alumni number, but he writes that pressure of school work prevents his complving at present w’ith our request. It is well, how¬ ever, to have some good things in store for the future, and we hope at a later date to be able to publish something from one whose name to so many of our Alumni stands for all that was best and most inspiring in their school days.
