4 THE GARNET AND WHITE EDITORIAL With the completion of this number of The Garnet and White, the staff finds its work for the year brought to a close. We have tried in every way to make the various issues of The GARNET AND White during ihe past year the best pos- ible. We realize that our work has been far from a standard of excellence. We realize, too. that if it had not been for the combined efforts of many, other than those on our staff, the success of our work this year would have been small indeed compared to what it has been. The members of the staff have cooper- ated splendidly during the year and have always put forth their best efforts in the preparation of each number. We wish to thank those members of the student body who were not on the staff, but who con- tributed material to the various depart- ments. We desire to express our appreciation to our advertisers for the support they have given us by advertising in The GAR- NET AND WHITE. Without them our magazine could not possibly have been a success. We hope that they have profited hy their advertisements. Those who lent us their support by enlisting as subscribers have also been largely responsible for our success. We hope that they have enjoyed each number of The Garnet and White during the past year enough to continue as subscribers in the future. We of the staff are sorry to discontinue our work. It has always been a pleasure and a source of satisfaction to know that we were contributing to your enjoyment in compiling each publication. To those who will take our places we wish the greatest success. It is our sincere wish that they meet with the same splendid cooperation which we have enjoyed dur- ing this past year. Another school year has gone. For some of us it was the last year, while for others it was just another one of the three years in high school. Those who have spent their time in the school and who are leaving it now have learned many things from their experiences in high school. If they were to give you the most valuable advice from their experience it would probably be to enter whole-heartedly into every worthy activity of the. school. Next year there will be an opportunity for those of you who will return to show what you intend to make of your oppor- tunities in high school. Many activities will have lost some of their most staunch supporters, since many of the leaders in these activities have been Seniors. In deciding which activities you will support there are several things to be con- sidered in making a wise choice. We may say. however, that there is very little chance of your lending your support to any unworthy activity, since any activity which has no real worth soon slips out of existence. Perhaps the most important thing to be considered in determining just what ac- tivities to participate in is your studies. School is primarily for studies. If you have difficulty with your studies, then you should not take part in outside activities. Another important thing is to limit your activilies. In doing this you must take into consideration the relative bene- fits of each and the amount of service you are capable of rendering in each. Following this plan, you will find that you will have little difficulty with your school work and that you will get the greatest possible benefit from your high school career. A CiltlT Iflnrk A little work, a little play A little fun. to match the sorrow To keep us going—and so. good-day! Of each day's journey—and so. good-morrow!” A little warmth, a little light Of love's bestowing—and so. good night! A little trust that when we die We reap our sowing!—and so—good-bye!” —George du Mauri hr.

Ill: Committee for Senior Banquet. IV: Com- mittee for Junior and Senior Tea.Ill: Picnic Committee. III. Andie” is a regular girl. She is not too short, not too tall, not too plump , not too slender—but just right. Al- though Andie may seem quiet during school hours, she is the Merry Maker in her own crowd. Andie is quite undecided as to the future. However, it is whispered about school that she will continue her Fox Hunting. We wish her luck. Margaret Armstrong Commercial “Kindly. she; and with a manner beyond courtesy. Certificate in Typewriting. Ill: Perfect Attendance. III. IV: Girls’ Glee Club. III. IV: Mixed Chorus. III. IV. Peggy is one of our Commercial students who is not very well known to many: but those who know her know a true friend. She has won her friends by her kind disposition and her wonderful personality. She has accepted a business position, ar.d we know that she will be as faithful in her work next year as she has been in High School. Donald Sharpless Avil General A charm to banish grief away.

Happy joined our class at the beginning of the Senior year, and whatever he did we were assured it would be well done. The only way in which we could show our appreciation fully was to make him an honor man. We are sure if Happy” does his work in business as he d.d it in school, he will be a successful business man. Louise Ballou General A bit demure she may appear. But a jolly kid and a friend most dear. Health Crusade. 1: Dramatic Club. II. III. IV: Music Club. Ill: French Club. IV: Joseph S. Evans’ Contest, III. IV. Wheezy” is one of those few girls who take life seriously once in a while: but still she is an all around girl, who is always ready to help a friend. Louise is one of the best things the class of '25 bequeathed us. We shall never forget her efforts for the class of ’26 in the Speaking Contest. Louise expects to take the Health Education Course at Nor- mal School next year, but she is secretly hoping to be a doctor some day. We wish her the best of luck.
