THE POTTER SHIELD OLUME VI, Number 2, of the SHIELD is now in the hands of its readers, and we sincerely hope that they will find it as interesting and well written as pre- ceding numbers. Every effort has been made by the entire staff to make it a literary and financial success. And When speaking of finances, it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to let our gentle readers know that putting out a copy of the SHIELD these days is quite a different proposition from the good old days of a year or two ago. Prices are so high now that it was a perplexing problem as to how we could make expenses. There is always the one way of cutting down in size and quality, and thereby maintaining the same price, but after careful consideration we cameto the con- clusion that by asking seventy-five cents a copy instead of fifty, and making an equal raise in advertising rates we would be able to offer the same quality and size, and still keep our heads above water. We sincerely hope that in so doing we have the backing of the school, and just as soon as prices begin to get back to their normal state, just so soon will the SHIELD drop back to its old scale of prices. There is one thing in connection with our school journal that we would like to mention, and it is something we wish you would all remember for future editions. The SHIELD is not sufficiently representative of the school. It is too much the work of a few fellows and naturally lacks the democratic spirit. Everyone is enthused at the idea of getting out a fine edition of the SHIELD, yet they will sit idly by and contribute nothing. The paper should be of the school, for the school and, most important of all, by the school. The Staff needs your support, wants your suggestions and ideas, and it must have material. Don't think that because you are not on the Staff that you should take no interest in the SHIELD. It is your paper, and if you can write a story, or a poem, or if you can draw pictures, you should do it. Come around and talk to the editor and if you are willing you will find he will always have something for you to do. The Senior-Junior Dance The SHIELD is going to press too soon to enable us to give an account of the dance, but we can predict one thing-and that is a perfectly wonderful time for all the lucky ones who will be present. Remembering the success of last year's dance, Mr. Potter has consented to let us repeat the event on Saturday evening, the 24th of May, and everyone is anxiously awaiting this date. Mrs. Potter has again offered her very valuable services, and a committee consisting of Lermen and Jackson from the first class and Burbank Somers and Bruce Dohrrnann from the second class, has been elected to work with her. The affair will not be elaborate, but the committee has arranged very suitable decorations for the gymnasium and a nice supper will be served. Eleven
