Og! KUNG! Elan S YVATARA S YVAT T E R ditorial This being the third number of the Swatara Swatter and its third birthday anniversary, we might ponder for a brief time to ask ourselves Whether the publication has justified its existence, what is its real raison d' etre, and finally, does it edify Swatara Township High School. Since all achievements have their period of incubation in history, it might be Well for us to consider the brief history of its inception and progress in order that we may get a more rounded perspective which is conducive to a better understanding of the aims and ideals of the Swatter.

The following year the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Three unselfishly opened staff positions to any member of the High School, thereby giving an interest and incentive to other classes, causing them to feel it was their book. It is desired to do justice to both of these classes as pioneers since they both made invaluable contributions to the project, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Two as a class originated the book, but under necessary circum- stances made it a class project, while Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Three widened its sphere to that of a school institution. ' VVe, here in your employment, are cognizant of the great need of a medium necessary for a more sympathetic understanding of school condi- tions and activities on the part of the people in general. The school is always open to your Welcome visits but owing to the lack of an organized Patron 's Day or Parent-Teacher Organization in our district, the interest 14.921 meow: Page Eleven
