All personals, stories, literary articles and items of interest to this paper should be sent to The Porcupine, Santa Rosa, Cal. The beginning of a new year reminds us that our school year is fast approaching its close and that two of our principal contests, the literary and debating con- tests, are due to occur at no far distant date. The annual debate has proved to be of increasing interest and profit each successive year, and we believe that the coming debate will not be an exception to this rule.

The contest promises to be one of much interest. A large number of students are trying for the team and it will be a somewhat difficult matter to choose the five who are really the best qualified. Those who are think- ing of trying to make the team, whether this year or some other year, should begin to work at once, as practice is one of the essential things in the production of good literary work. The management takes pleasure in placing LeRoy Ripley upon the staff. ‘The covers of the November and December issues are the productions of his pen and also some of the drawings which appeared in the Football and Basketball issue. We take this means of expressing our thanks and appreciation for his earnest efforts. Don’t Fail to Remember That HAVEN HARDWARE CO.
