H E turn this, the sixth issue of the High School annual, over to Si you without one excuse. We recognize that it is not up to our e ideal, but we have tried hard to make it the best. There will undoubtedly be a few who will criticise our effort. To these we suggest that they themselves first try pub- lishing a paper of this kind, and then, we feel sure, they will be 3 if ' more lenient with us. We wish to thank the faculty for aid, criticism and suggestion, the under- classmen for co-operation and assistance, also we thank the previous classes for their issues and the staffs of different papers who have kindly sent us their papers, among them the Chinook, Tahoma and Hyak. The professional and business men also deserve recognition for the adver- tising they have placed in our pages, for without advertising no paper can pay. We hope that they receive as much profit from their advertisements as we have from their aid. THE Samons. S4 .Q HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL PAPER. I. Do not subscribe-borrow a neighbor's paper-be a sponge. II. Look up the advertisers and patronize the other fellow-be a chump. III. Never give any aid, and be sure to criticise everything in the paper -be a coxcomb. IV. If you are a member of the High School talk nonsense when you ought to be attending to business-be a shirk.

PHYSICS Physics is said to be defined as the science of matter and energy, a definition which means in our mind the important matter of .pacifying the over- excited mind of our Physics teacher, for unprepared lessons, late classes, and of making excuses to our fellow-students for not having anything that resem- bles G plus or E on our report cards. As for the energy, it is very difficult to say how much is wasted in this way. Our chemical experiments were put to a sudden end when our High School burned. All that remained of our apparatus was a dilapidated spring and an iron standard. Also we had only thirty minute recitations, but certainly with such brilliant intellects as are found in the Junior and Senior classes, the remaining fifteen minutes was entirely unnecessary. And what a blessing that fifteen minute shortening of recitations has been, to us, will be known and realized by ourselves onlyl One phenomena is still unexplained by Mr. Easton and this is how he dis- covers with the first words we utter, in reply to his first question, whether or not we have studied our lesson and why he fires so mercilessly to the same unfortunates. We have thus far managed to escape recitations before all great person- ages, as inspectors, visiting teachers, etc., but we have been obliged several times to recite before all-wise and highly conceited Sophomores, which is nearly as bad. Though none of us have as yet fallen victims to nervous prostration from over perusal of said Physics we should shrink from counting the many times that we have been rudely awakened from pleasant day-dreams by a whisper of Physics from our nearest neighbor, or of nights made hideous by dreams of ergs, dynes, and foot-pounds sadly intermingled with formulae, polarity, vibra- tions, etc. We do not doubt but that our teacher has often grown discouraged as have we ourselves, but we know that we have tried and we believe that our work would compare at least favorably with other Physics classes, especially when we take into account our entire lack of apparatus, improvised class-rooms and shortened recitations. Our parting wish is that succeeding classes may be well supplied with the things which were impossible for us, so that they may get more value and pleasure than we were able to under other circumstances. sa S4 ENGLISH y The teacher of English has an unusual opportunity for learning the thots, tastes, and experiences of her pupils. For, while red-inking mis-spelled words and supplying punctuation marks, she can readily gather that this young Fresh- man has spent his time in the open, and is a better hand at shooting a gun than wielding a pen: that this quiet little girl, who will scarcely utter a word in class, has an eye for beauty and an exquisite sense of harmony, and that the reason why the one optimistic and appreciative Senior has suddenly changed his
