Every book is, in any intimate sense, a circular letter to the friends of him who writes it. They alone take his meaning, they find private messages, assurances of love, and expressions of gratitude dropped for them in every corner. -ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.

EDITDRIAL QQP' A 'IIQQ UR CLASS has had four objectives in the years 5' ,QQKQ W6 we have spent together in Shortridge. Initiative, g' 'Q scholarship, co-operation, and service have been ' 5225236 ' the basis of our endeavor in high school, and in each of the fields we have succeeded. Beginning in our junior year as an organized class, we pre- Q1 sented the junior vaudeville which demonstrated the ability of the class members to accomplish Qs U 6539 V f-Q any work laid before them. gms' Wagga In scholarship, the class has ranked among the leaders. Two class members have attained the goal of all scholarship, the perfect average. The large honor roll reflects the ability of the class in that field. In the paths of endeavor, our class has shown itself to be a leader. The boys and girls who were on the various athletic and debating teams lead in their respective fields. And now that we are to be graduated, the success of our class appears to be without a peer: but happily we have not reached our goal. Our record in school will, no doubt, be betteredg and in the fields that we are entering the objectives for which We have striven will apply equally well. Through initiative, scholarship, co-operation and service we shall be able to attain higher ideals in the years to come. -THE EDITOR.
