EDITCDRIALS I The Qlumni The Alumni Society of Wauseon High is one of the things that every alumni member of W. H. S. enjoys and would not do without. At the end of every school year they get together for a banquet and a general good time for all. Many of our alumni have made a name for themselves in the world and maybe cannot be present at the banquet but any sort of com- munication from them is read with interest to all. By looking over the list of members at the different higher institutions of learning we see that it is not only those that were prominent in High School activities but those who were good students who have held various offices of importance in the school where they are and were. Any person coming back to visit the school seldom gets away without making a speech before the entire school and they have proven very interesting to all. - mhg Emp QBIII? In the course of the past school year more students seem to have drop- ped from the students ranks than ever before. It so seems that each suc- cessive year the number increases. This certainly is not the right way to be going in a place like Wauseon. We who are noted far and wide for turn- ing out college and university students more so than any other adjoining town. It is certainly with shame that we View this fact. In the past the pupil living in the country was the one who dropped out of school either of ner-essity or lack of interest. We did not like this but it might be said that it could not be helped. Now the problem lies not alone in the country pupils but in the town. We have lost entirely too many town pupils this year to keep a good name. Could we not attribute this to the fact that there is not enough time put on the preparation of lessons. We say 'I don't need to study at home because I have plenty of time in school. When the cards come out at the month end we are greatly surprised at our low grades. After several months of such grades discouragement sets in and the pupil says to him- self: What's the use I can't get along anyway and consequently drops school for a position or leisure. After this step all the persuasion and argu- ment in the world cannot make us re-enter. This certainly should not be. Why is it that so many refuse to study out of school. No body is so brilliant that such study is not needed. It certainlv is the duty of every one connected in any wav with Wauseon High School to do his part toward keeping such a one in school to fight it out and WIN.
