Although it has been at some cost of time to the students responsible for the publishing, their labor will be well rewarded if you, the readers, find a moderate degree of enjoyment in it and if it measures favorably with previous editions. Twelve more months have passed since the last edition was brought forth. VVe, the Editorial lioard, have endeavored to make this Blue and VVhite a mix- ture of accurate records of scholastic activities, humor, and literary quality covering that twelve- month's period. The fortunes of the school have been good, as a whole, and it has been the desire of the editorial staff of this paper to compose and complete an equally favorable report of the good fortunes. OUR EDITORIALS Our editorials are written on numerous subjects of miscellaneous nature. They are not composed by the Editor-in-Chief or his Assistant entirely. Indeed, nearly half of them are not formed thus. Some are the choice results of the compulsory English course. the peak of literary accomplish- ment attained by the most highly ranked students of the school. Frequently their literary worth is disregarded and more often the idea which the editorial conveys is the reason for its choice. ,pug Under the general topic suggestions various students have attempted projects and reforms. Almost without fail have their efforts been for naught. Perhaps this project or reform may be of worth. VVeigh the questions carefully and if you agree with its theory, next ask yourself what your duty is in aiding the idea to be carried through. Read then their editorials both enjoy- ing their literary value and judging their portent fairly. thus rewarding the efforts of those who penned them. EDVVIN RicnARnsoN, '29. LEADERSHIP The world would never progress if there were not those who could assume the responsibility of leadership. In truth, the success of every under- taking, notwithstanding how trivial, depends en- tirely upon the leader. The religious. industrial, political, educational, and social progress of the universe remains under the control of the leaders. Therefore, are we going to allow such progress to slip backwards merely because we have not sufficiently stressed the importance of leadership? Indeed, we guard against such a serious mistake, for every boy and girl, young man and young woman is now given equal privileges to acquire those traits essential to leadership. Let us for the moment consider the many and broad highways to leadership. For instance. do
