R. Q. V. MCGUIRE WELLS JOHNSON '27 ALLEN PIERCE '22 MR. KARL BRIGGS The Life Board is a group of students chosen by the preceeding Board with the sanction of the principal and the faculty advisors, who endeavor, with the aid of the student body, to put out a school paper of which the students can be proud and which they may cherish in years to come. That is what we have tried to do this year. We endeavored to make our Campus Notes more varied and interesting, our Athletic, our Social Notes more complete, our jokes more original and humorous, and, last but not least, to improve the paper by the addition of a few comic cuts here and there. Itis not for us to decide how successful we were in our attempt, but we hope that the paper this year has at least been as good as those of former years, and we have tried to make it even better. The Board has been handicapped a great deal by the loss of many of its members. In the course of the year, however, the members elected to fill vacancies have done exceedingly well in their various departments. The Life was published five times this year. The cost of a year's subscription is two dollars. Some of the noteworthy articles, or improve- ments, this year have been, the report of Rabbi Wise's Lecture, the addition of the Hall of Fame Department, the enlargement of the Alumni depart- ment, the Flower Guide or Genus Facultatis, and the story, For the Mem- ory of the Coach. ' Much credit for the success of the Life is due to the co-operation of the student body for they have contributed very willingly a goodly amount of material and that is the thing that helps most of all.

SMITH lt may give one a thrill to be watching something and not know whether one will be blown into eternity the next minute, or be spending a few months on a hospital cot wondering what happenedg but there's a keener pleasure to be proving to that doubtful mind of yours the things you've been skep- tical of and the wonderful mysteries of the elements. Under the expert and careful supervision of hir. Smith, our Science Club meets every Monday night and holds an interesting, beneficial hour of entertainment. The benefit gained thereof is worth the effort to ob- tain the marks necessary for admission to the club. All students must have an average of Sofff, or above in at least two sciences and this must be main- tained throughout the year. During the past term some of the experiments conducted were efforts to make nitric acid by uniting nitrogen and hydrogen, solve the principle of various glass prisms and light, giving the dirigible-like qualities to a balloon by filling it with hydrogen obtained from zinc and sulphuric acid and even lead, the excitement of demonstrating explosives on a small scale. Helpful lectures were given and great aid was given to students in the science classes. The members are Wlheeler, lXflcVVayne, W'ood, Rawson, Mace, Johnson, Tinkham, Bowman, Steinhoff, Sonsire.
