VH RI TAS Our Paper MONG the numerous events which occurred during the scholastic year of 1926-27, one of the most praiseworthy and meritorious, and perhaps the most surprising was the establishment and development of our school paper, Theresian. Heretofore we were satisfied to have our school notes published in St. Theresa Weekly. but, after much considera- tion on the part of the faculty, with the co-operation of the student body, it was felt that a school paper could be maintained. The proposition was placed before the student body and met with the approval of all. A drive ensued, the result of which was a worth-while sub- scription list. Then it was rumored that we must have a suitable name for so great a project. Each student was called on to suggest a title. A prize was offered. There were many names to consider. Finally the prize was awarded to Melvin Beall for his suggested Theresian. And how the name suited when it graced the cover! This was the beginning. A staff was elected. This group worked together and helped carry out our desire to have a school paper worthy of praise. Students became reporters, writing up material, taking note of classroom happenings-busy workers with a zeal for success. Of course, perfection was our motto, and perfect our paper would be. liach issue verified this statement. The Theresian grew, due to the efforts of the staff, from the irresistible drive for subscriptions and the plausible co-operation of the whole student body. Fortunately we were not forced to wait long for the first appearance of our paper. November brought our first issue. It is needless to say that it reached the expectation of all the loyal supporters. This was shown when they loitered along with their faces buried in its pages. It was our paper and were'nt we proud! How we beamed with joy when we read of our athletic association and its successes-our debating society on the road to victory-then our first musical comedy, and its success-our winner in the oratorical contest-our winner in the essay contest-the Writeups and other numerous happenings. Our Theresian', has progressed and it is the wish of the entire student body that it continue to do so. Our contributions in the Theresian However small their seeming Sunny rays of thought will be 0'er our pathway gleaming. GRAM-1 lX IClN'l'0Sll. '27. Ninety- 1
