A Word of Appreciation In this, the last regular number of the “Scarlet and Gray’’ we wish to ex- press our sincere gratitude to all of hose who have in any way contribut- d to the success of “Our” paper this year. The paper has not been perfect and no one recognizes this fact more than the Editor. The work was entirely new to us at the beginning of the year and we.took up our duties with fear and trembling. However we felt that a high school paper was a pressing nerd of the stud- ent body that SHOULD NOT be ne- glected and so, as the months have passed, we have tried io fill this need as best we could. First, we wish to publicly thank our printer for his untiring efforts toward making the “Scarlet andGray” a suc- cess. His suggestion have been most

The Scarlet and Gray 9 and under what circumstance the great leaders of American Literature lived and worked. We learn, when, where, and under what conditions Shakespea e was born and that he is Miss Lowden’s favorite among the writers both Eng- lish and American. Under the leadership of Mr. Ferree, we tried during the first semester to master geometry. Many times did the teacher explain a proposition the second time to help us out of trouble. After the m:d-year examinations we dropped geometry and took up algebra. Many of us had taken some work in algebra and for this reason it did not puzzle us very much. It was not long tho until the difficulties became appar- ent, and our reports showed that we were not doing as well as we hoped. Miss Johnson teaches our Cicero class and Mr Fitger our German class. In the German we have learned much con- cerning the habits and customs of the German’s and slso of the government and religion of Germany. We began our Chemistry under Mr. Marshall. It was several weeks before we were able to have any labatory work as the material was not in order and for this reason we have been thrown brhind with our laboratory work. V e at first had one period a week but now we have two. We did very well with dail work, but when the examina- tions came oh my! Mr. Marshall accept- ed a position in Texas and Mr. Lake took his place. The Chemistry pupils are hoping to make 85 or 90 percent that they may be exempt from exam- inations. Thus ends the thtee years of the high school work of the class of ’15. Clarence Parry, ’15. “Juniors” Listen to the exhortation of the Juniors! Look to this paper! For it is good; our very best. In its brief pages, lie all the Varieties and realities of our lives. The bliss of ignorance, The glory of knowledge. The splendor of wit. For the past year is but a dream, And the coming year only a vision. But the present year, well lived, makes Every past a dream of happiness, And every future a vision of hope, Look well therefore to the present, Is the salutation of the Juniors.

The Scarlet and Gray II helpful| ind his pleasant, cheerful manner has ever been an encouragement to us. Much of the neatness of the paper is due to Mr. Bartlett. Prin. D. A. Ferre, treasurer of the paper, has been untiring in his efforts to place the “Scarlet and Gray’’ on a firm financial basis. He has spent many hours in arranging the books in a systematic way, besides giving constant encouragement to the staff. Too much praise cannot be tendered our principal, for his indispensible services. Without the help given us by our ad- vertisers, we all know N. H. S. could have no paper. Do you patronize those people who advertise in the “Scarlet and Gray”? Why not? Go to those who solicit your business through the med- ium of our paper and please mention the high school paper when you do go to them. If you do this the business manager's job will be a much easier and pleasanter one. We certainly do ex- tend our most thankful appreciation to the business men who have stood back of us in our work this year. To the high school faculty, who have given us their unceasing encour- agement and helps, we wish to say that their work will not soon be forgot- ten. Alumni, High School subscribers. Business Manager, Contributers, ex- changes who have helped us by their criticisms, we extend to you all our deepest gratitude for any and all help given to us. Any success which the “Scarlet and Gray” has had this year, has been due to the hearty co-operation of all the above mentioned people. And again we say. we thank you. Junior Number. How do you like this, the “Junior” number of the “Scarlet and Gray”? If you do like it tell Clara Pritchard and Katherine Spencer. We are almost tempted to call this issue of the paper a “Co-ed” number. The editor appointed, and placed in full charge of the collection of all material for the April number of the S. andG., the two above m.-ntioned Junior girls. They have proven them- selves deserving of the highest praise. The ads even were solicited by these two enterprising young ladies of the Junior class. The whole class of ’15 have co operated splendidly with these two in the contributing of material, etc. Three cheers for the “Junior” num- ber and the compilers, thereof. An Apology. We deem an apology due the sub 8cribers of the “Scarlet and Gray” for the last or “homestretch” number of this paper. Owing to the very serious illness of the printer the issuance of the paper was delayed for some three weeks. Even then the.condition of Mr. Bart- lett was such;’as would not permit him to work. Consequently a man inexper- ienced in the publishing of a high school paper was necessarily compelled to do the compiling. Some mistakes were made but we ask your kind indulgence for these errors. The Annual. The time is now at hand, when every single N. H. S. student should get right down to work and boost the annual. As has been said before, this is the first time in the history of the Nelsonville high school, that an issue of these proportions has been attempt- ed. Our money is unfortunately tied up in the closed M. M. bank and so every one, none excepted, will be ex- pected to “pitch in” and do his level best to make this annual a financial success. We do not want to fail to place a
