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.

qhe glleiixxn nf The Qviupatninajninins By Lenna E. B. Jennings. In the land of the Happy Hunting ground, a large number of Indians congregated one day and decided that they were tired of hunting. The name of the Indians was Awpatowajowins. They had been dead about one hundred years and naturally would be tired of hunting. The oldest chief and his friends were considering what they should do. The warriors were standing near the Chief, with their faces painted and their hats decorated with feathers. They looked hideous. Next came the beautiful Indian. girls with their dresses of skins, with brass ring in their faces painted. Next came the older folks dressed very Hashy. The smaller children were away playing in the forest beyond. The Chief's name was Waseon Cfrom which our town of Wauseon was named.J One warrior said, Lets follow and find the North Star. We never have done that before. No, said Waseon, that is impossible. Another said, Let us go to the land of sun, heap big journey. Still this did not suit Waseon. f Still another said, Let us go to land of pretty pale moon, very beauti- u1.77 Waseon vetoed this. Then one warrior spoke up, Let us make band to go to place where we were born and bring heap big thoughts to rest. Waseon clapped his hands and said, Ugh, Heap good ide. I make band now. Notino you go. Winimeg you go. Ottawa you go. Turkey Foot you go. Bear Face you go. Rest stay here and wait. So it was decided that they would set out the next day. The five youths were made ready the next day. They were equipped with all things needed. As they were dead to the world when they came back they would be spirits, and no one could see them. They decided to go to the place where they were born and it happened to be the Wauseon of now. They knew where it was and they started for that place. As they were flying through space they noticed a huge bird tthat is what they thought it wasl coming towards them. It was the largest they had ever seen. They wanted to see if they could identify it but horrors, when it went past they saw two men, one guiding and the other looking through a glass. That was very strange they thought but still they continued their journey. Finally they arrived at the place. Notino said, This is not the place. The rest agreed to this but while going through the streets Winimeg saw a large elm tree and recognized it as a tree Where they had held coun-
