I2 THE TIGER lihitnrial GBur Gian 3. an-jg T has run the gauntlet of the Faculty, passed the perils of the f ff board of censorship, and still lives-unscarred and ready for the ' finishing touch-your approval. Kindly temper your criticism with consideration of the fact that the staff is not superhuman, nor on equal footing with the powers that be, but eleven not in- fallible, but altogether invincible, members of the Senior class of nineteen. The staff was elected by the Junior class last year and since then even during the summer months when Juniors should rest for the nerye-rack- ing Senior year ahefd of them, we worked incessantly. ,-.5 144 .

The publishing of a semi-monthly or monthly paper is vastly different-you have the satisfaction of seeing the net results of your efforts every two or four weeks, but in the publication of an annual the efforts you put forth and the material you give in are lost to you for nine months. It is natural that the interest in an annual should wane in a period so long and so thoroughly uninteresting for those who are not on the inside You haven't to all external appearances, lost one atom of the interest you had in the beginning and we are proud of you and and very thankful. So generous has been your support that we have had more than enough material to fill the pages, and because we lacked room we have sifted and sorted the material and selected that which we considered most truly representative of the school and its students. If we have cut any- thing that you especially wanted to see in the . Tiger, we regret it very much. Vile are aware that our judgment is not absolutely correct, but we have done what we saw fit, consequently our best-surely you can ask 110 more. It is our sincere hope that every Senior class from now on will publish a year book. An annual is worth infinitely more to you in later years, if not at present, than a semi-monthly or monthly paper. Don't letanything be included in the Tiger family that isn't worth while. We expect to see and support an annual every year henceforth. It is your task, Juniors, Sopho- mores and Freshmen of '19, to imbue the coming Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen with a spirit than can mean nothing but success and infinite pro- gress to our beloved high school. Your high school-our high school, is what we make it. Do not look to the other fellow for class and school spirit- find it in yourself first and the other fellow will follow suit. Stick loyally to your school through her trials and tribulations and you, as well as your school, will be a real success. We emphatically assure you that your cause is our cause in all the years to come and we Will' embark on your enterprise as readily and heartily as if it were ours.

Q THE TIGER Blank Wulf 3. ul1'lglhlONG the low-lying hills of Northern Canada was a deep, dark cave cleverly concealed by shaggy bushes and entangling under- growth. This recess was inhabited by an old wolf and her cub- the remnants of a once flourishing family. A hidden trap had cruelly snatched away the head of the family and all the cubs but one had, strictly against their mother 's order, wandered away f '1 f 9 f'Hg'gg??a?!l',f7 and been killed. The fate of the other members of the family had made a lasting impression upon Black Wolf. So, from day to day as his mother roamed about hunting food, he either clung close to her side or lay huddled up in the cave. Toward the end of a beautiful day in the autumn Black Wolf and his mother were hurrying at a brisk walk through the gathering shadows to their home. The long, muscular, grey-black body of the mother showed in distinct lines as she strode along. Her sharp, erect ears--the long, sensitive nose-the keen piercing eyes-the powerful jaws with their gleaming teeth-the great, bushy tail -- sleek, thick coat of fur-and the light, stealthy tread, all revealed her a mighty animal, well versed in the secrets of the forest. While thus hastening along she heard a loud crack and instantly felt a terrible pain as if something were gnawing her front leg. She let out a sharp cry and madly worked to free herself but the agony only increased. Finally she dropped to the ground from exhaustion. Black YVolf walked around her several times watching anxiously and pitifully whining. At last, not knowing what to do, he lay down beside her and fell asleep under her fond caress. In the morning a trapper, one of those dreaded humans was seen approach- ing. lmmediately the mother painfully arose and with Black Vviolf at her side stood ready to fight to the last. The cub with ears erect and rigid body stood fearlessly waiting, watching with gleaming eyes every movement of the man. The hunter stopped, raised a long narrow something to his shoulder that made a sharp report and the helpless mother sank to the ground. In- stinctively realizing that his mother was defenseless, Black Wolf charged the man furiously, snapping a11d biting his buckskins. Admiring the cub 's cour- age the hunter at once wanted him for his own. He threw the dead wolf over his shoulder and picked up the frantically kicking cub by the neck and re- turned to his cabin in the grove. He took Black NVolf inside by the open fire and after a long struggle quieted him. That night as he looked at the sleeping euh he imagined him some day the leader of his priceless dog team. After several years of patient training the trapper had developed the dog nature of Black W'olf so greatly that he seemed to have lost all his wolf-like habits. His devotion to his master was almost human. He was now a power- ful animal, and gracefully formed. He had no match in the dog team and was the acknowledged leader. With 'Black Wolf at the head of his huskies the trapper prided himself in having the speediest and strongest team in the North. It was a beautiful picture to see twelve huskies with one at the head a little larger than the rest drawing a heavily ladened sled at a rapid pace over the brow of a low snowy hill. X
