Editor's Farewell After four long years of persistent efforts in school work, the class of February, XOQ, now emerge from their High School career into the activities of every day life. We feel that we have earned the diploma which is the symbolic reward for our efforts and are proud of having graduated 'from the grand old S. H. S. It is with a pang of sadness that we leave these old halls where we have experienced more pleasures than trials during our stay there, and feel that we are ostracised in a way from the spirit of the school. The teachers under whose direction we have wo-rked, we will always remember. Some of them have made a lasting impression upon our lives that We will always cherish with gratitude. We hope that they will think of us in the same light. The Capitoline and the staff that has managed it for the last five months have experienced ,many misfortunes but the paper has always appeared in triumph. VV e have tried to make a paper that was worthy of the school and if we have failed we regret it and if we have suc-

Page 4 THE CAPITOLINE ceeded we ask' you to remember it. For ourselves we are proud of our efforts to please the patrons of the paper. Special thanks are due the assistant editor of the Capitoline, Ruth Wilson, who has always proved herself ASSISTANT EDITOR most competent in making the paper a success. o In writing editorials and prompting the various departments she has been of inestimable assistance. . To the faculty manager of the paper, Miss W'ilcox, we owe our greatest thanks. She has ever been tolerant FACULTY MANAGER with our whims and desires and has always Y . been ready with some original ideas that relieved the monotony of each succeeding issue. ' The two hustling business managers of the paper have made a record in doing things that is likely to stand BUSINESS MANAGERS I for some time. They' have certainlyi earned the title , business. The success of the paper is due largely to their persistent efforts. . Next to the business managers, the exchange editor, Esther Ralph, has experienced more real work than any other member of the staff and her work speaks for its own excellence. EXCHANGES When one sees the multitudes of exchanges that we re- ceive from schools from all over the country one can realize in a way what it means to read all of them and decide which deserve mention in our columns. Her work has without exception been theiirst to be handed in for the printer. - Ruth Vandeventer, who has handled this department, has always given complete satisfaction. Her knowl- LITERATURE and MUSIC edged and interest in the work made her de- - partment a success and it is with regret that we think of her misfortune in not being able to graduate with the class. This department of the paper which is always of more than passing interest to most of ushas been handled with more than ATHLETICS success by Milton Gaffney. His practical .understanding of athletics and his participation in them enabled him to write upon the subject from personal observation. ' This department, though rather deep for some, has for the last live months llourished with unusual wit under the man- WIT AND HUMOR agement of Messrs. Sikking and Rourke. Madame A La Fluso is a character that could only be de- vised by a person of unusual humor and if at any time you could not see the point ? that was the joke. e This is a diflicult department to handle as it is hard to decide LOCALS just what should appear in the paper. Nellie Mahoney with her staff of local editors has done herself proud in this department. This department has been a great success under the manage- ment of Theoline Sharp. It is no easy matter to keep ALUMNI track of the Alumni of the school but her department has never failed to be a surprise and a pleasure to us.
