reef iii T H E E L M 'BUTANQ CHigh Cliffs! By KATHLEEN LynoN The Canyon of the Butano Is in a virgin land Reminding me so hopefully Of God's Almighty Hand. The redwoods and the alders tower Percipitously tall g They rise like giant spectres Above the waterfall. It passes by our little home- That corrigated stream, To whisper hope to my poor heart, Fulfillment of my dream. The banks are strewn with the fair hues Of flowers blooming there, Some elegant in all their state And some demurely fair. The glory of the greater ones Is like our family, But 1'm more like the little ones In their simplicity.

THE ELM THE HI --OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER HE HI, official newspaper of San Mateo Union High School, is published every Friday at the printshop of the San Mateo branch. Over twelve hundred students look to it as the direct representative of high school life, and it has been one of the big connecting links between the two units. Under the editorship of Geoffrey A. Currall and a very capable staff, the Hi has shown improvement with every issue this year, and has grown to be the popular organ of school events. Close co-operation between the journalism and printing departments has made this possible, and the Hi is a real example of a modern high school paper. It carries a big story every week and even has a last minute news column. Mr. E. A, McAllister and Grant B. Morris, instructors in journalism and printing respectively, are honorary advisors to the HL The editor and members of the staff, accompanied by Mr. McAllister and Miss Ruth Mantz, attended the fourth animal convention of the California Scholastic Press Associa- tion at Stanford University last November. The confab, sponsored by the Sigma Delta Chi fraternity, lasted two days, and fifty high schools were represented. The 1926-27 staff: Geoffrey A.
