2 Herein will be found something of interest to all — “The Foreward,” by Agnes Johnson, Editor-in-chief; A Breezy Letter from Miss Bisbee; A Glowing Account of University Opportunities and Experiences, by Dewey Fagerburg, 16; List of Honor Students and Grades; Also Brief Contributions Reflecting the General Work and Progress of the School. FOREWORD. To the various classmen of the various classes, to the teachers of Paxton 'High, and to the admiring public— Greetings! The second number of the Reflector is complete and is herewith presented for the criticism or praise which it merits. In the last numlber of the Reflector were seven departments, the greatest number which it had ever contained. In this issue the number of special departments is increased to eight, these being four Class Departments, a General Department, an Alumni Department, an Athletic Section, and the new “Grind Box” Department. In a publication such as this, there is often difficulty in classifying articles. This is due to the nature of the articles contributed. For example, an article written by a Freshman may have for its theme “The Juniors;” it is therefore a problem to know in what department to place the article. Or mayhap, an author is too modest to sign his name; if that is the case, don’t blame the editors if a Junior item appears in the Freshman department, or vice versa. In the General Department, are articles reflecting the work and progress of the school as a whole. These have either been prepared by the superintendent, or from data furnished by him to the editors and reporters. Features of the Sophomore Reflector which will be found especially interesting are the letters written by Miss Bisbee, a former teacher in Paxton High, and by Dewey Fagerburg, a former student. We assuredly appreciate the kindness of these two friends who have left us. The subject of scholarship and high grades is given much space, for it is to be remembered that scholarship is of first importance, and it is the pages devoted to this phase of our school life that will be eagerly read years hence. The Sophomore Department deserves special mention. The little novelette, “She Landed One,” written by our reporter, Florence Hodam, is a special feature of this issue. No one realizes the deficiencies and faults of the Reflector more thoroughly than its editors, yet despite its flaws, they sincerely hope it may serve as a typical school Reflector” —reflecting justly the various phases of our school activities and interests as they are passing by.
