 S (Glrrmticle TEN CENTS A COPY. VOL. II. MARCH 1912. NO. 2 CHRONICLE STAFF. Literary Editor Ruth Blacklock, Associate Editor Kathryne Wilson, Managing Editor Joanna Hamilton, Advertising Editor Amy Hamblin, Asst. Advertising Editor Mabelle Gillis, EDITOR!A IS. The March number of the W. H. S. Chronicle is the second issue of this paper, and consequently is expected to be in great demand. A great deal has happened for the welfare of the “class of 1912” since the November issue, and we wish to extend our thanks to all who have so willingly helped us toward one of our two chief aims. We hope that the newly organized Junior Class will next year try to publish as good a paper as we have, with a new head and a new staff; in many cases the W. H. S. Chronicle should take on new ideas. It is so easy for a paper to get into a “rut” and stay there, and what is most needed is a variety of ideas to keep up interest. All things taken into consideration, we prophecy that the class of 1913 will follow our example set for them and publish a High School paper composed of good material. We sincerely hope that all who have helped us by buying an issue of the Chronicle will be fully repaid by enjoying many happy moments in partaking of its contents.

The scenery and the footlights of the different towns which the class visited has left a lasting memory with them. Wilson furnished us beautiful scenery and footlights which no other town could excel. At Ransomville the footlights made Gyp look blacker and the old maid whiter, while the variegated curtains managed to hide the actress for a few minutes, at the end of each act, from the eyes of the vast multitude below. During the stay at North Ridge the Seniors played for the first time on an elevated stage which was very near to the top of the door through which they made their “entrees” and “exits.” Edna and Joanna will prove this by the bumps on their heads. At Burt we had lovely scenery and a very attentive audience, which spoke well for the promising growth of Burt. At Youngstown the stage lacked everything but a curtain and footlights. Oh, those beautiful footlights at Youngstown can we ever forget them? The Seniors have worked hard for their Washington, D. C. trip, but they sincerely thank each town that they have “starred” in for coming out and hearing the great three act comedy, “Rebecca’s Triumph.” —K. B. W. ’12

The dreaded mid-year examinations are over. Some of us have been rewarded for weeks of hard work. Others of us, not quite so successful are simply making the best of things. No doubt many have resolved to take more of an interest in High School this term. What better way can you find than by writing for the High School paper ? Our next edition will be in April. Other papers all around us Can make our own sublime If our fellow school mates send in Contributions all the time. Here a little, there a little; Story, club note, song or jest; If you want a “slick” school paper, Each of you must do your best. ‘ ‘Seniors are Going Some ” The Seniors are rushing with head long momentum With the learning of plays and the work to present ’um, With talented ladies who give talented readings With work for “perfection” in all our proceedings With hardest of lessons with classes uncounted With heights unattained that must still be surmounted With mind, soul and body, we’re working for money (But if, you knew why, you would not think funny) We’re going to Washington, Easter vacation We’ll send picture post-cards to all our relations So what do we care ? For they said that our play Was the best they had witnessed for many a day And when it was over they came to exclaim “Why, it was just fine ! Why not have it again ? And so we will go with our girls bright, and witty— Present “Becky’s Triumph” in each busy city Until with a pocket-book full, overflowing, We start for D. C. Don’t you wish you were going? G. H. ’12.
