First, because we like to see old Santa Rosa High grow. Second, we need recruits for all of our school activities. Third, the school needs your financial assistance, in the payment of Student Body dues, to support our various activities. Enter upon your work here with an idea of self-betterment. Go about your duties with energy, with earnestness, with persistence and with cheer- fulness. Do not fail to include participation in school activities as a part of those duties. Get in the game. Innumerable opportunities to ‘make good’ are afforded you. Do not wait for the band-wagon to come along and carry you to success. Do not trust to luck nor “watch for something to turn up”; start something yourself; learn that industry is the best policy. It is said

1) THE ECHO II As the bell had already been rung, all further talking was out of the question, and the members of the club went to their lessons hoping that Tom could go. That noon, Tom walked into his father’s office, and after some hesita- tion, asked if the money could be spared. His father thought a moment and then answered, “I’m very sorry, Tom, but I'm afraid you can’t have it just now. If it had been several months ago I would have given it to you, gladly ; but just at present I need every cent I have. If things turn out as I hope they will, I shall be able to give you that sum ten times over, in about ‘six months; but now, I’m afraid”— “That’s all right, dad,” said Tom, quickly, “they can do without me. I should have had better sense than to ask you, when I know you can’t spare We On his way to school that noon, Tom met Frank, a member of the club. He informed him of what his father had said. Frank was very much dis- appointed and said that he thought the rest would change their plans also. Then, seeing that Tom was brooding over it, he changed the subject. “Say, what are you going to do after school today?” he asked. Tom said he couldn't remember anything that he had planned to do. “Well, then, Jack and Harold were over in the hills hunting yesterday afternoon and they brought home the biggest mess of game. Hal said that hunting is fine there this season. I thought that if you would like to, we could go there after school.” “T should say I would. I’ve been crazy to hunt for the last two weeks, but never found time,” cried Tom. “You couldn’t have thought of any- thing better.” By half past three that afternoon the boys had donned their hunting suits, and with guns thrown over their shoulders, walked quickly toward the hills. They had tramped through the hills for about twenty minutes be- fore they saw the least sign of game. Then, as they entered into a cool, sweet-smelling, thickly-wooded lane, birds seemed to fly in all directions. The boys thought that every bird in the forest must have been there? =Lhey fired several times with great success, bringing one or two down at every shot. Tom was gazing around for another victim, when his eye caught sight of an unusually large quail. He fired and the bird fell down between some shrubbery. He ran quickly toward the bushes and, after several minutes of careful search, found the bird between two rocks, under the brush. The bird had evidently just been wounded and crept under the rocks to die. Tom reached his hand under to get the bird, but it seemed to have been caught on something that tore as he moved it. He stooped down and saw that one foot was caught on a piece of paper. As he pulled out both the paper and bird, the paper loosened and fell to the ground. He saw that there was writing on it, so he picked it up—and gazed at it in astonishment. He could hardly believe his own eyes and excitedly called to Frank. Frank rushed over, and after seeing Tom’s face, looked at the paper, but with both mouth and eyes wide open. (Continued on Page 14)

THE ECHO 13 that Opportunity knocks at a person’s door but once in a lifetime. That time is certainly during his school career; for all the opportunities of phy- sical, moral, and intellectual development are before him. Freshmen, do your share toward making Santa Rosa High a power for good; give your talent to the best of your ability ; give your intellectual abil- ity in order that there may be a high standard of scholarship; support the various forms of athletics with enthusiasm every time you have a chance; always throw your influence toward what is right; encourage the musical organizations and participate in them as far as your time and ability will permit; support the high school paper , both by subscribing and by contrib- uting material. Remember, you are now high school students and it is your duty to support the school and keep the Black and Gold always waving from the pole of success. Students, set a good example for the Freshmen by paying your dues promptly. According to our revised constitution, Student Body dues for the entire term, must be paid during the first month. The old fine for delin- quency has been doubled, so beware. A great manly more-students paid dues during last semester than during the previous one; but even so, everyone should pay, and pay promptly. A person, who is willing to be classed with loyal students of S. R. H. S. and to enjoy the honor won by them, and who will not pay his dues, will crawl under a circus-tent to see the show. If anyone can show us the difference between the motives prompting the two acts, will he please elucidate? THANKS! Several members of the drawing class have presented the school with two very pretty models. Their thoughtfulness and kindness is appreciated both by Miss Abeel and the other members of the class. SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE All who have not yet subscribed for The Echo, can get the remaining five issues, including the big commencement number, which is worth the price you pay for all five, for fifty cents. The first issue of this term be- longs to last term’s subscriptions. This is the reason why Freshmen and new subscribers were charged sixty cents for the six issues this term. Re- member, the more subscribers, the better the paper!
