APRIL, 1912 No. 5 ' hitnrialn With this issue of The Comrade begins the second year of its exis- tence. lf the coming year proves as successful as the past has been, it will prove very satisfactory, but we would like to see last yearls rec- ord eclipsed, if possible, in regard to the circulation of our paper The first issue last year was a step entirely new in evening school- 6 dom. Never before had there been a paper edited and published by evening school students. Many were the prophecies predicting fail- ure. But thanks to the support of the students and to the aid of the faculty and alumni, The Comrade has come through all dangers with flying colors. Nobody now doubts the complete success of our venture and nobody would want the publi- cation discontinued. lt was the one thing lacking to make our school the equal of the day high schools. In the minds of a great many people it puts the Evening High School on even a higher plane than the day high schools in that our paper is edited and published in the rather scant leisure time evening students have. Most of them work from eight to ten hours every day and spend two hours each night in school, and for young people so sit- uated to produce a school paper of the type of The Comrade, is, to say the least, a very creditable achieve- ment. This is the first appearance of The Comrade in the role of year book, and the IQI2 class should be especially interested in it as it has a short humorous history of each in- dividual in that class. There are also a number of personals about different students and teachers in the school and although these per- sonals in some cases seem rather pointed, we assure everyone they were all written in a spirit of fun and we hope no one will be offend- ed. In the hrst four issues of The Comrade we were rather serious, at- tending to business and to business alone, so now we think we are en- titled to Ubreak out and let people know we are human, at least once in a year, anyway. Wie trust we have not gone too far with our hu- mor and if anyone thinks we have we wish he would let us know be- fore the school closes this term. At the graduation exercises this year the student having the highest mark for general excellence in school work will receive a beautiful gold medal, donated by the Alumni Association of the P. E. H. S. Noth- ing could show the interest the alumni take in the Evening High School more than the giving of this prize.
