-..v Wi. Til ------M --V-'wwf-f f- -- A ---Wi---W our former publication, and that with the limited support of only forty or more students, we have succeeded as well as may be expected. Our indebtedness to our advertisers, without whose support financially we must have failed, is heartily acknowledged. And to those students who, though they do not appear in the photograph of the Annual staff, have, nevertheless, given valuable assistance, we gratefully express our thanks. Biz'ryv1sEN You AND ME. There is a part of high school life which may not appear to the casual student, and by those who take an active interest in other affairs. is very often neglected. This may be called the gentle art of living with one's fel- lows. Though it may not appear worthy of being called an art, most truly it is, and one which should be cultivated. Nor is there a better time to do this than during the formative period of one's life. In the daily little 'contacts with one another, let us make a conscious effort to be agreeable, for we not only make friends thereby, but form habits which will go with us always. Cnrxus. This leads me to speak of the charm of a bosom friend. Two boys who are ever and anon together, sharing one another's cares and mishaps, or two girls who cherish each the company of the other more than all else, is there anything more beautiful? Each may have his faults, and they may be of quite opposite natures, but the shortcomings are overlooked, in view of better qualities, and they weave ever closer into one another's lives. Friendships thus formed are enduring. They not only give to youth a beauty and sacred- ness which little else can afford, but promise for the future a rich source of satisfaction. COMl'E'l'l'l'l0N. We have had with us 'on several occasions during the year men who have spoken of the purpose of modern education. None brought out clearly enough the competition, the keen struggle for existence that exists today, which the most casual observer must notice in the larger cities. Perhaps they had a definite reason for withholding this darker view of life, but while we are here, preapring to meet that very struggle, it is well we should realize its full significance. A dozen or more photographers gave bids for the work on the Walmomah. Their offers varied considerablyg with some there was an effort made 'to uuderhid competitorsg they astutely sought to learn whether their offers were more or less favorable than othersg but those photographers who seemed by the general air of their places of business ,to be the most successful, and who seemed to hold a pride in the quality of their work, put personality before price, and it was personality which almost won the bid t'or the wor.k,on the ivllllllfllllfltil, though the price w-as ten dollal's higher. In each and every case, one could almost feel the hand reaching out, reaching out, for a liveli- hood. lt is true in every line of business. There is no longer any room at the top for the mediocre man, to subsist there, one must be prepared in a thousand ways to stem the ever-strengthening tide of competition. This fact should always be borne in mind by the student who expects to make the most of the years spent in education.

H14-f++9fauw04nw6 ees Q personally, aroused their interest in the work, and distributed a generous supply of pamphlets on the subject, which had been obtained from the State University. About a week later tryouts to determine the members of the team were held. Those who prepared for this were Harland Brock, Clarence Strong, Hazel Nichols, Ethel Baldwin, Winfield Woodings and Lawrence Clarke. Hazel Nichols and Lawrence Clarke were chosen on the Affirmative, Harland Brock and Winfield Vtloodings on the Negative team. Thereafter it was constant reading of all the pamphlets, articles and books obtainable and bearing in the slightest degree upon the Monroe Doctrine. This continued for weeks. One collection of material was followed immediately by a fresh supply from the university. Thus, the four students who were pre- paring themselves gained a comprehensive idea of the diplomatic affairs of our government, and a clear conception of an important principle in our for- eign policies. After a time, they were ready to begin formulating their ideas upon the subject, writing and memorizing their speeches. ln this work Mr. St. Johns was a constant and willing guide. Though Washougal did not win the pennant in the debating series, the results of this first year's work were not unsatisfactory. The negative team did not lose on a single occasion, atthough it met some strong opponents, par- ticularly from Vancouver High School. The failures of the affirmative were not to their discredit, for it must be remembered that the Monroe Doctrine, rightly or wrongly, is strongly supported by public opinion in America, and that on very few occasions, anywhere in the state, did the affirmative win the debate. The contests with the three accredited schools of the county and the results in each case were as follows: Vnnsrs VANcoL'v1an, .IANUARY 28. Washongal's Affirmative went to Vancouver, the Negative remained at Washougal. At Washougal, the Negative won, two to oneg at Vancouver, the Affirmative lost, two to one. Both were very close debates, the results being very doubtful until the decisions of the judges were nnsealed. Vnnsrs CAMAS, lf'EnRl'Anv 25. Local Negative team at Camas, local Affirmative at Washongal. At Camas, Negative won, two to one, at Washougal, At'firmative lost, two to one. Vnnsrs Rinmei-'1lz1.n, MARCH 31. Negative team remained at home, Affirmative team visited Ridgefield. At Washougal, Negative won, two to one, at Ridgefield, Affirmative lost, three to nothing.
