BUSINESS Since the Annual, like Christmas, comes but once a OF BOWING. year, and since it is the only periodical in Morris re- cording its events and serving as an outlet for its literary talent, it is naturally regarded as an institution, rivaling in interest the Regents' Examinations, only much more pleasurably. A few weeks before its circulation animation runs highest. In the lunch room, that motley lllecca, pupils of different clubs, thoughts and preferences get together and form a distinctly individual circle of their own. llany a cup of cocoa f3C.l is spilled over a palatable platter of succulent baked beans f5c.D or some other of Rflr. lXIolbeck's delectable concoctions, during a heated tete-21-tete as to the year book's prospects. ln the corridors during the change of classes, on the stairs, and around the campus, pfeans of praise and caustic comments are delivered alike. 'fSeauanseauis story last year was a corkerl And the probable comeback, 'Alt was dryer than the Table of Contents. Of course we expect to hear the same diversity of opinion this Year. VVith this thought fermenting feverishly on their respective minds, the Board of Editors and their confederates, with several reverent kow-tows, lay before the well-known Hpeepull' this, their humble out- put. VVe shall neither apologize for it nor pronounce it better than the works of our esteemed Cbless 'emll predecessors. Besides, only those teachers, and perhaps some pupils, who have been in this school for a long, oh, very long time, can make a silent comparison between this and former Annuals. 1

EDITORIAL YOUR SCHOOL This call to arms-one always needs arms when NEEDS YOU. writing-was responded to with the efficiency of your favorite army. Quires and reams of manu- scripts were received responding to the Cause. In fact, if every page of them were placed end to end, they would form a perfect line from here to Kankakee and possibly wife fversa. Some were sublime and others were ridiculous, but the best ones you will find here. Let us say that in judging contributions no partiality was shown. All vari- eties of embryo authors of all grades of classes were dealt with in the same degree of editorial apathy. AN ED1TOR,S From pupils who take thumbtacks off other pupils' LITANY. posters and use them on their owng from pupils who display their fervid patriotism by marking Morris on their text-booksg from pupils who take water-pistols and sneezing powder to schoolg from pupils who need Adams Express to cart their valises from room to roomg from pupils who recite at the board directly in front of their productionsg from pupils who belong to various clubs for the purpose of having their pictures in the Annualg from pupils who yell in chorus in the lunch room when a plate falls downg from stories submitted to the Annual telling how Harvey Halloway scores a touchdown in the last three minutes of playg and from poems sub- mitted to the same, telling how dreadful and awful the war is: from all these and many more, kind fate, deliver us! IN WHICH In previous editorials, editors have felt quite con- WE BESTOW tent with expressing their appreciation in three or IRON CROSSES. four lines, of the work done by those teachers who sacrificed their time in the supervision of the Annual. We shall not follow this patriarchal precedent, because we feel it is not enoughg it is too petty a tribute. Cur enthusiasm is so effervescent that it can only be blurbed into rhyme, and we do it also that their memory shall not be ephemeral. They have supervised the Annual for two successive years, and not once have they cracked under the strain. LITERARY. A gem we should keep lock and bolt on, A story connoisseur,-Miss Knowlton.
