14 THE CLARION 4969 and during that time succeeded in establishing a high school. Before the m5- : V ' first class graduated, however, he was called to Salem to take charge of ' s the run-down schools of this city. When he came here there was nothing :9- ' above the nineth grade, 'but with ever ceaseless efforts he has built up a ,+ good, strong high school for the youth of Salem. Since he has been in l, ' Salem he has assisted in sixteen annual county institutes, and last summer t A conducted a school of primary methods at Salem, which he will also do ,m J this year. This year Professor Traver has received the offer of City rm, . Superintendent of the Pendleton schools, and at a salary of $1,600, and .,,. as Vice President of the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth. At w Pendleton he received the unanimous vote of the board over eight strong applicants. It will be with the greatest regret on the part of the students if we are forced to loose him next year, as such men are not picked up ' .7 l every day. w Q1 2 $ey geve yen been Jeeves m eee New $teee?

Con- sidering that this is only her first year of teaching she has done most excellent work. She has charge of the Latin and physical geography classes and the work in each has been very strong.

While THE CLARION has not been a paying proposition financially, I feel that the literary taste gained by the students has sufliciently repaid me for my work. While the paper has been small, yet has been as large as was consistent With its resources, and had we been getting fair advertising rates I could have provided more space for the contributors. These dlfficultles Will soon disappear, however, and Salem Will have a CLARION not to be sneered at. Hoping my work has met with the entire approval of the Student Body, I am Yours very truly, RALPH R. CRONISE. THE CLARION S EDITOR of THE CLARION of the Salem High School, it has been my aim to put out a paper that would rank With the ordinary papers of other schools, and one that my school could justly The hearty co-operation of the students and the material assistance of the faculty have gone far to make the years work a year of pleasure. This being the last issue of the year, it is my Wish to thank the students for the honor of my election, and for the pleasure of our asso- ciations in the work. It is my sincere Wish that THE CLARION may continue to grow until it shall be excelled by none. Wishing greatest success to the Salem High School and all its enterprises, I remain your humble servant and editor, be proud of. HORACE SYKEs.
