LITERAXUR THIS MATTER OF IMPRESSIONS One ' s first impression of something or of somebody is almost always the strong- est, the most important and the most last- ing. A first impression which is pleasant is strong enough to overcome many bad impressions which may follow. Is it not true that most people meeting others for the first time try to have their most pleas- ing expression, their most agreeable man- ner, their most becoming aspect in the face? This only serves to prove that the first impression is the most important one but it should be followed by others that are also good. The first impression of our high school is unmistakably very pleasant. Through many years of careful labor the ivy which has been planted from year to year by each graduating class has grown so that it covers all of the original high school building. If one were to travel through the surrounding towns in the county as various athletic teams have, one would discover high schools which are newer, which are of more modern equipment, and are of more pleasing architecture, but no- where would there be found a high school which has that mellow dignity imparted to our school by the ivy. It is now the care of the entire student body to see that this ivy is not destroyed. It is also the student ' s duty to see that this first pleasing impres- sion is followed by others which are also favorable. Perhaps you have noticed from time to time men from various business organi- zations visiting the high school. Almost without exception these men seem keenly interested in the passing of classes in the corridors and the manner by which it is manoged. Is it not likely that quiet and orderly passing of classes will create a good impression on these men who are re- presentatives of efficient business con- cerns and on all others who visit the high school? However, there good impressions will be formed by only a comparative few who visit the high school — -there are many others, who, although they are -interested in our school, rarely if ever visit it. It is just as important that a good impression of us be formed by them. The manner by which this may be brough about is by you yourselves and the school paper. The Crimson and Gray is the greatest advertising medium of the school except you — the student body — and you are the greatest advertising medium in the local community. It is, therefore, neces- sary that you give your support to the Crimson and Gray, not only by your sub- scriptions but also by your contributions, in order that we may create a favorable impression. The articles which are contri- buted from time to time are censored and
