This fortnightly paper has been greatly improved during the passing years, and some believe that it will be even better next year. The Hi-Breeze had an unusually large staff this year, fifteen members. On the average the paper put out six pages of current school activities. lt also contained other interesting features attractive to the reader, and re- ceived state scholastic honors for its editorial page. The paper was distributed to the students and various merchants of the town. To hold the editorship of the Hi-Breeze the editor had to keep a l average in journalism. Otherwise,a new editor was appointed by the advisor. The advisor for the paper this year was Miss Frederica Renner, who also served in that capacity last year.
