INTRODUCTORY EDITORIAL. As we take a few moments to con¬ sider Our High School” from the ret¬ rospective and prospective view points, we cannot help realizing that some of our most urgent needs have been met, in spite of the fact that many equally as urgent yet remain to be accomplish¬ ed. One thing especially worthy of con¬ sideration is our literary societies, which were organized at the beginning of the year. In spite of the fact that we have not attained the ultimate pos sibilities of the societies, we are still willing to concede the marked benefit and improvement in many ways that have been derived. Another need which has been met is the partial fitting up of the laboratory. But there are still many things lacking there, and many necessities to be sup¬ plied. Another is the remodeling of the Philomathean Hall, which has been arranged in such a way that now it is possible to enjoy our school programs with some degree of satisfaction and comfort. Last, but greatest of all can be felt the almost imperative demand for a new High School building. Only those who are most directly concerned can realize, not only the great inconven¬ ience, but the state of our non-prog¬ ress. Most any of the high schools of to-day, can proudly boast of well equipped gymnasium, in order that the physical phase of education may not be neglected. Domestic Science, and Domestic Art are likewise being given prominent places in our High School education, to-day, and to be able to carry out either of these lines of work we must have accommodations and equipment. So, in truth, our future possibilities are fully as great as our past accom¬ plishments.
