b VWVWW AAMQN P ' l A YHIIHI , ' I V l l ' The Staff. -, Q HIS is the first time that Valley .lnnction High School hlas ever '. tried to publish an annual ot' the school events. ho it oi course means more to the school than any annual hereafter can mean. Its success or failure is due to the diligence or lack of diligence on the part ol' the staff. Tlieretore, we feel that the staff should be connnended for the part it has taken in producing what we feel is a iirst-class annual. The scholars to whom whatever success this annual may have is due especially, are the editor-in-chief, the business manager, and to Edwin Falk. The editor must, of course, supervise the construction of the book and see that every department is well taken care ot. After which he must be prepared to go ahead, and write himself all articles that are yet needed. His range ol' subjects is therefore not restricted to one particu- lar line, but lnust cover the whole school. NVe feel that George Thomp- son has very ably taken care ot' this position. To the business manager is, however, due the real success or failure ol' any publication. It is one thing to write articles and quite another to pay the printing, engraving and other bills. The only way that any busi- ness can be entirely successful therel'ore, is to have a business manager who, by his industriousness, sees to it that the balance between the ex- penditures and the income is maintained. Roland Smith taking up his duties late in the year has proved an excellent business manager. Nobody has put in more hard work and received less recognition lor it publicly, than has Edwin Falk. The artistic part ot' the annual is almost entirely Edwin's work, and it shows real ability. Then too, many of the pictures in the annual have been taken and developed by Edwin without any pay whatsoever. The school is therel'ore deeply indebted to Edwin for his continuous efforts to make Valley have a presentable annual. i -EL

: W ,ua . A Peep into the Future. Day flI'C2ll11S Zlllfl air castles lay around in a heap, And I found a desire into the future to peep, For nothing I had heard of those teachers of mine, I11 seven long years and it seemed a long time. The world faded away and in the air I did float, XVhen I saw just below lne Miss Porter adrift in a boat. I followed until I saw her land on an isle, XVhere Queen of the Natives she was to reign a long while. I was informed she was to be rescued by a brave man, On whom as a reward her father would bestow her hand. XVith this I must be satisfied, so we flew on our way, And I soon saw Mr. XVooten a rakin' the hay. Of teaching school children he'd grown so tired, That he'd decided farming was not half so hard. The next was Mr. Neiman, now a lawyer bold, And the eighth wonder of the world I was told. The next Miss Parsons, now Parsons no more, She now superintends the cooking for a family of four. And then Miss Thornvall as a Red Cross nurse, But alas, many a victim is carried away in the hearse. Mrs. Londery is now at the head of a school of her own, And knowledge in the heads of her pupils is deeply sown. Last we found Miss Travers stowed safely away, On a ranch where she'd most forgotten a V. J. H. S. day. Fully satisfied I now passed on my way, Desiring to return to my home without delay, My teachers were all happy in the things they loved best, So now I could return and let my thoughts come to rest. fFAYE FAULKNIQH.
