Stuff. on Cur ELM Nineteen hundred six was tl1e year of the first ELM, published by the Hi-staff. with Winnie Burke fnow principal of Turnbull Schooll as editor. This thirty- six page quarterly. costing 25 cents per copy, was filled with short stories. editorials stimulating school spirit, and a survey of the Rugby season. In time, the short stories and editorials were eliminated completely, while Rugby summaries were replaced by features on football. The 1920's found organizations taking the predominant part in the ELM. Sports came into their own in the 1930is. and since that time they have held the spotlight. In 1908 it was decided that the ELM would appear only once a year: later, the number of issues depended on the size of the January graduation class. Advertising was discontinued in 1913, greatly improving the book. ln the tandem daysw printing was done by our own print shop: cuts were considered far too extravagant. In the 1920's, when the desire for pictures grew. they were taken by the advisor of the Camera Club. Finance has always been a problem. The 1929 editorial brought up the question of raising the ELM budget to 53141. The budget now is in the Wthou- sand dollar class, but the book is self-supporting. Different high school organizations have had a hand in publishing our yearbook. First, there was the Hi staffg in 1930 the Barker's Club was formed to pub- lish the ELM! then again the Hi sponsored it, for some time: in 1943 it was produced by a Creative Writing Class. under the direction of Miss Ruth Mantz, who has been the advisor since. The uncertain and pioneering days of the ELM are over, and it is now a firmly established tradition fafter forty yearsl l. Today it plays an important part in the life of all San Mateo students who take part in school life and activities and want to preserve a record of their school life.

For thirty-one years these many thou- sands of students have read. criti- cized. and enjoyed the bi-molithly publication of the Hi. their own school paper. The paper has gradually become an inseparable part of the school life of every student from the frosh to the high-and-niighty senior. To- dayis students take as matter of course the every-other Friday appearance of the Hi, as we glance at the feature column. read the head on the front page, and look for a confirmation of the latest football or basketball score. Then the school paper is thrust at the bottom of a pile of books or in an available trash can. To most of you it is just one more advantage that San Mateo High has to offer. Yet. in 1906 students clamored for a paper of their own. At that time it was a lack of funds that pre- vented the high school from having a paper. since to publish both a year book and a school paper was an unheard of extraiagance. Event- ually. in the spring of 1913. the first Ili was printed and students welcomed it with eagerness. At least they had a school-written and shop- printed paperf- one that was to continue to be published in the sehool print shop up to the present day. 'l'hrough the years this paper. relatively small in size, has become a tradition of San Mateo High School. It has reflected the views and opinions of a great number of students. 'llhis is why on the mast- head of the San glfateu Hi can be found the boldly printed words.
