Martha L. Hall B.A. Another M.S.H. graduate on the staff. At the time I gradu- ated our school was criticized for its lack of school spirit. l feel that school spirit is impor- tant and that we have even less spirit now than we did in l955. William J. Harrison A.B. English and journalism are Mr. Harrison's department. I'm afraid our school spirit is too mechanical and not as genuine as it could be. The art of clean, concise communication is a field which most people could do well to understand. Marian C. Helvie 8.5.
