EDITORIALS • o • The editors of this publication desire on behalf of the entire student body and faculty to express their appreciation of the manner in which the business men and citizens in gen- eral, including the city council, have cheerfully given their aid to make this school year a pleasant as well as a profitable one. and this effort to set before them an example of our work, a success. It is true that a publication of this kind is not the best medium for advertising any business. Knowing this the liberal business men of Wapakoneta have treated us courteously in our soliciting advertisements and by their co- operation have removed much fear as to our success in get- ting out something worthy of our school. The city council, realizing that clean sport and healthful exercise arc essential to keep the young body in condition for work, have granted us the use of the city hall for athletic purposes, together with the use of free heat and light. By their kindness the basket ball management has been enabled to bring here some of the best high school teams. This could not have been done if the association were compelled to pay a heavy rental for the use of the hall. Lovers at all times of clean sport, our citizens have shown their appreciation of the game fight both the basket ball and the base ball teams have made this year and by their attendance at the games have made certain the suc- cess of these sports. A most gratifying and at the same time most surpris- ing fact is that in our school each class realizes the benefit to be derived from a good yearly publication. It is as much credit to the school as it is to the honor of the class in charge of the publication. The other classes of our school have shown by the aid given us this year that they are heartily in sympathy with our effort at not only maintaining but rather raising the already creditable standard. Their contributions in the line of literature and pictures have aided greatly in mak- ing this book attractive and interesting to all parents, no mat- ter in what class of high scljool their children may be found. By making themselves exact models for our cartoonists they have contributed toward the ludicrous as well as artistic side. As a parting word to the Juniors who are to step into our place next year, the Senior class of 1010 extends its heartiest wishes for as great an annual. — 10—
