an ' .. u . 2115132 Value uf a ilaigb Svzbunl Publication 5 V W 7 77' ' T A high school publication serves as a means for the pupil to express his opinion on various scholastic matters. Since 1916 each successive class has tried to out-do its predecessor in every possible way. This keen rival- ry serves t-o stimulate the interest of the student body. The underclasse men look forward to the publication of Tris as a climax tio a successful High School career. If any journalistic ability lies dormant in any of tlhe pupils of the high school the first call for material for Tris begins the awakening of it. The first production usually surprises the proclucer and the teachers as to the pupil's ability along journalistic lines. This vacczcsmplisliment ordinarily cre- ates a similar desire in the other pupils. As a result of this many pupils have found their vocation in life. There are many schools which would never be well known except for their publications. As a result of these publications the school has added prestige with schools in the same class. The annuals or papers from one school are ordinarily exchanged with other schools. This customary ex- change of school papers often results in the passing on of original and val- uable ideas from one school to another. It serves 'oo make a closer contact between the schools and makes a more sympathetic and harmonious rela- tion between the schools possible. It places the schlo-ol before the public and lebs the people have an insight into the affairs of the school. It gives the people za. chance to show their devotion to the school and aid them in their troubles. The Alumni, which is the most loyal supporter of the -school, is consid- erably 'affected by the 'publication of a high school annual. One of the most treasured memories of any Alumnus is of hlis high school days. In the reading of Tris, the Alumni recall many fond remembrances of their boy- hood days. They also like to show to their friends and relatives the result of the efforts of high school pupils. Many of the pictures and stories in Tris recall to them amusing incidents of hilgh school. Years after grad- uatling many happy hours are spent in looking over Tris The joy a hnigh school publication brings years after it has been print- ed is sufficient value in itself to justify the cost and trouble of printing. The development o-f the journalistic ability of the pupils, the interest of t-he Alumni, and the prestige added to the school are but a few factors that aid in the publication of Tris HERBERT MULLAN '24, Page fourteen , 1 A v
