VhYllIT'l'liM0Rl-1.l ll!'lllfll Adviser This is the last issue ot the Forum for the first hnlf of the school year 1915-16. We hope that every Sennite fells that he has reason to he prourl ot' his school pa- per. The statf has trirtl to make it het- ter, larger and more interesting than in previous years and we t'eel thot it has sue- eeeiletl. But the ere-dit sloes not all Ime- long to the stall. The major portion he- longs to those who have given the Forum their literary and tinaucial support. lllany 0E the Foruiu's best friends ansl workers will graduate and lenve us this month, and as all snhseriptions expire with this issue, it becomes as to get husy at once and rally our forces l'or next se- mester, ilf we want the l ornni to maintain its high standard. We urge every pupil to he a 'thooster of the Forum for the routing semester. Every one eau tlo something.

THE FORUM T-wcnly-Nine willingness to ht-lp will he printed and soon be read by someone who needs new friends and interests. And then besides the papers there are the doctors and hospitals, They must know of many people who are needing cheerful, newsy. hopeegiving letters. And orphans! What little mother-less in- mate of an asylum could fail to appre- ciate a. letter from a new big sister or brothcr who goes to a moderately busy high school? Indeed it would appear that we are behind the Freslnncn. for in their de- partment this month appear two letters which were written to shut-ins. Even if it's only once in a long while that you find time to do this. itz seems worth while and rather like lending a hand. E. One often hears that history in the making is never recognized. Perhaps we are too close to get a good perspective. The chances are that very few of us realize that a new and more comprehen- sive line of soeial activity was opened up to us on the night ot January fourteenth. Three lnuldrcd and fifty persons COIN- prising the Gloc Club, the Dramatic Ulub, the Forum Staff. and all members of the respective teams were invited. As each person was allowed to bring one guest, the number was swelled to ap- proximately seven hundred. Do you see on what a large scale Scnn can entertain l The reception at which so many en- joyed themselves was given by the fac- ulty in appreciation of the services of those organizations which serve the school at large. One cause for regret is that more could not he invited. There are other organizations and other indi- viduals that have also been very helpful to the school. but as there was really not room for all. it was felt that some limit must he set. Perhaps in the future a dif- ferent arrangement can he made, but so far, Federal Park alone is big enough for ns all. lt is hoped. however. that the en- tertainment: of the various organizations can be made a permanent part of our fes- tivities. The expenses of the reception were all paid by the school-another good begin- ning, If we can only make our future correspond to our past and present. it will he bright indeed. We are still mak- ing our reputation. in fact we shall al- ways be making it, and let us not forget how much easier it is to live up to a good reputation than to live down a had one, Let us guard our traditions as we make them. so that we may always he proud of the Nicholas Senn. Tread softly now when you enter the lunch room. for its walls are hallowed. We have had our first athletic hamluet. and never more can its vaulted spaces lack the sanctity which historical events lend to the most prosaic localities. No one knows what happened there save the favored few Avho attended. Certain it is that sweaters and cmhlcms were given to our victors. and u'e know that they must have attempted to convey their thanks for the honor, lmt all else is shrouded in deepest mystery. YVc shall never know more. N, S. Il. S. With the coming of the first of Jan- uary we find ourselves making the eus- tomary Hl'0S0l'lltl0llSH, to make thc year before us one to he more proud ol' than those that have gone before. more full of helpfulness and feeling for our fellows. NVe are all proud of the initials N. S. II. S. for what they represent. During our next year at Scnn. let us all think ot' N., S., Il., and S. as representing four qualities in one resolution to make the year more worth while. Let UN mean to us Neatness, and let us observe ncalness in every habit- ahout' our persons, our lockers, our rooms and our corridors. Let S mean Simplicity and let us apply it in our dress. Olll' thoughts, our dcsircs and our speech. Il must mean llelpfulness and let it mean more than all. Let us he helpful to all those with u'hom we come in con- tact at school, at home and elsewhere, Let the second S stand for Sincer- ity in all things. Be sincere and your fellows will 1-etieot your sincerity. With our Alma Mater's initials rc- minding ns of these qualities, our year cannot but he well spent. Lucinda Obermeycr.
