NAPANEIE various editors of the departments of this edition of the Napanee have shown the enthusiasm and energy that is always necessary and vital to a successful project, There were many students whose enthusiasm prompted them to volunteer their services although they were not memlers of the staff. Among' those who ably and efliciently assisted were Mary Belle Pritchett, Ferril Nickle, William Corum and Lowell Edington. The students and the members of the faculty in the group were the regular rrievnliers ol' the staff. llll l'l'Wenty-onel

NAPANEE ,,- Al: .:--+- Y Arthur Tockey Nathan Coombs An annual is essentially a record. The point of discussion that is con- stantly confronting a publishing staff is this-how complete shall this re- cord be? A complete record tends to complexity and expense, while on the other hand, simplicity tends to economy and concise, e-flicient product. This year's edition of the Napanee has been published under the strictest economy. This action was not an experiment but a step in the same path that many successful student bodies have followed. The pub- lishing of an annual is always a staggering blow to the student body treasury, a goodly portion of the money collected from plays, games, dances etc., is generally alsorbed by the publication of the year book. This large amount generally running well over a thousand dollars could be used to purchase athletic equipment, school ground improvements and to relieve deficiencies in other student body departments. The weight of these facts gave birth to the discussion of aliolishing the Napanee. The student body, after much discussion concluded that the annual was an indispensible part of our school makeup and consented to condense and simplify it with the ob- ject of financial advantage. The staff has carried out the wish of the student body, and has here compiled an annual at half the financial outlay of pre- vious' years. The secondary importance of an annual is the knowledge that the students obtain through its process of publication. The educational value of a yearly publication is surpassed by the quarterly which allows four different staffs too to learn the process of publication each year. The publication of annuals or quarterlies gives the students inclined to litera- ture, a chance to express their ambitions. The opportunity to write for school publications incites the strdents to their maximum. In this way many successful journalists, novelists and poets have been developed. The fTwentyj

NAPANE1: llliqum-in The Migwan had a very insignificant beginning last spring, when a few of the school's writers collected their best manuscripts, gaily attached their various noms des plumes and bravely mimeographed the pages. This first edition of the Migwan did not bring material proflt, in fact it was a loss financially, but this did not discourage the proud authors and author- esses for they well knew that the large majority of literary efforts go either into the hole or into the waste basket. The purpose of the Migwan in short, is to further literary interests and ability. There is nothing more encouraging to a young writer than to have his efforts printed. Just to be able to see his own eyes in dignified lines, with the small black letters standing forth on the shiny pages Cshiny pages because we can't afford dull onesj is an inspiration to any embyro author. Those on the staff of the first Migwan were Reva Decker, Dan Norton, Claudine Heflin, Hilary Helsley, Ruth Earp, Dorothy Hansen, and Robert Waldrop. According to the present plan there are four editions of the Migwan a year. The publication is put out by a staff which consists of an e-ditor-in- chief, business manager, fiction -editor, a non fiction editor, -dramatic editor, and a faculty advisor. The staff is chosen by faculty advisors from those students, in English, having most interest in literature and showing most ability in writing. The editor in Chief is elected by the staff and appoints the business managers and other editors from members of the staff. The duty of the various editors is to gather in that material, from the English classes, which is best suited for publication. The business managers are to take care of the finances while the editor-in-chief attends to the editing of the Migwan. The Migwan, in all probability, will in time take the place of the high school annual, the Napanee. As there are four Migwans to every Napanee there would be a chance for more students to get their efforts printed. It is the wish of the English Department that the Migwan become a vital pub- lication as it encourages writing that has some literary merit. Despite the fact of its obscure birth the Migwan is bringing innova- tion into every edition and with print and colors flying it may easily say quarter by quarter in every way I'm getting better and better. fTwenty-twol
