Why Not Now that the year is practically over and this is the bust Snowdrift, the editor can make a few-wise cracks without fear of a return editorial making fun of them. The editor of this last edition hereby takes the opportunity to thank all those who have been so longsuffcring during this spring quarter in helping to make the ancient history of the school into modern news for each succeeding issue. No doubt it would even tax the powers of Will Rogers to make a two or even three week old assembly into an item that one out of ten students would read. This has been the job of some of the reporters, but these reporters can probably now-look back with pleasure to such occasions. The editor has enjoyed working for Snow-students, has learened a few things, and wants to pass them on as a heritage, though without obligation on the part of the receivers. To future Snowdrift editors: Develop a newspaper morgue which shall contain all the best material gathered from the English classes and elsewhere; improve the paper by getting a definite policy to follow; stir up enough interest among students that they will voluntarily keep one column hot with controversy, and perhaps divide the Snowdrift for the year between strictly news and strictly literary editions. To the students: Be more sympathetic in making news; don’t leave all your big doings until the end of the quarter or until the day after the paper goes to press; have a few more marriages (for the sake of job-seeking trainers), have elopments even, but please let your editor know before you let the parson. Seriously, when you have your class and club elections, do not elect reporters for the school paper but let the editor select his own. This year it took half the year to run down some of the reporters, only to find they were in training and had no time to report. Final Word No doubt some of the students of Snow College will be disappointed to think that this commencement edition of The Snowdrift is the best substitute for a yearbook we can have. The editor hopes it will at least partly fill his readers' expectations. He has tried to do his best to make this last issue what the students would like to have. If it satisfies, give the credit to the reporters from the Scribblers' Club, to all the other students of the school who willingly contributed pictures, writing or other effort, to the officials of the school who came to our aid, and to Miss Phillips who had the patience to persevere until the end in the making of this edition. Special credit is due Reese Anderson, who furnished the majority of snapshots for the edition. As to the mistakes in the issue, use them as objects to improve upon for another year, you who have the opportunity. Perfection is always in the distance. This year has been one act in the melodrama of life, a good act, for it has or should have taught us students that we can not always luive the things we want in life. We can if we will pay the price; anything may be had for a price, but sometimes that price is too dear. We students could have had a yearbook, but if that had been the case, some brother or sister at home or more likely some father or mother would have worn his or her coat another year in spite of its being worn and threadbare. Which is the most important? We hope this commencement edition will have a value to you worthy of the funds and efforts expended on it. It contains the pictures of those who arc willing to face the photographer’s gun, records of what all the students have done both in curricular and cxtra-curriculuar lines, a few scenes by which you can remember your Alma Mater as you dwell in near or distant lands, andd a few words of home-made literature to comfort you and cheer you on in your declining years. Bon Voyage. Patre Twenty-four
