jokes so ably censored by Mrs. Reed) -each has given her very best to the cause; working not only in her own department, but each and every one helping out in any other field or in any capacity in which she was needed. The Business Manager -surely we all know what Leola Dalton has done; her untiring efforts to make ours the finest school magazine published. Eight issues each school year from now on, instead of six, and a regular date for the appear- ance of the Chronicle are but two of the items for which the school owes her its gratitude. And the Advertising Managers! Not only have Belle Watson and Norma Gebelin covered them- selves with glory, but they have set a new standard in the mat- ter of the amount of advertising that can be attracted to a schoot paper. The Staff Artist, Mary Louise Ryckman, although last on the list, is by no means the last when it comes to work. Her art speaks for itself in the very clever cover cuts and captions that she has furnished us with. Most of the latter class of cuts that we have used this term have been those of the former staff, the work of their artist, Martha Levy. To both these artists is credit due for their untiring efforts in school work. Posters ! Whenever any- body wants a poster, they hunt up the Chronicle Staff Artist; and presto! the poster is produced. The memory of the staffs of the 1924-25 Chronicle will always be a bright one in the history of the Sophie B. Wright High School. Future classes will find it no easy matter to surpass the records that they made. May these girls succeed as well in all the under- takings of their lives as they have done in making ours a Bigger and Better Chronicle . Could one wish them more? — W. D. D.

r of each and every member of the staf¥ and ably assisted by the entire Senior A class; result, a greater paid in advance circulation list than ever before. Advertising contracts poured in, in greater number than had ever before been thought possible. More money, it is true, has been collected by the Chronicle this term than has been the case during any former term of its history; and more has been given for that money. ' A Bigger and Better Chronicle , the motto of the staff has been ever the aim, and it has been realized. The secret of this success is found in the magic word,— Cooper- ation. Not alone could the staff have done this work. It was due to the cheerful assistance given at all time by anyone who was called upon to help,— and by many who did not wait to be called upon, but who volunteered, and even hunted up work to do. Every girl who secured an ad, every one who wrote an article, every one who handed in a good joke, helped to make this success possible. The unofficial staff, ' 7immie Gollmer, who was so able an assis- tant to the business manager; Hyacinth Eden, the official chauf- feur , who so cheerully contributed her car, her gas, her services to the good cause at all time ; Lois Johnson, who handled the High School of Commerce end of the work: the Senior A reporters. Dorothea Teunisson ; the other reporters who tried so faithfully to secure the coveted one hundred per cent subscription lists for their classes ; the Dramatic Club ; and literally hundreds of others may look with pride upon this year ' s magazine and say, I helped to make it a ' Bigger and Better Chronicle. ' The Editor-in-Chief, Betty Gash has had, seemingly, an easier road to travel than have some of her predecessors, due to the dis- play of this wonderful spirit of cooperation. But it does not in the least detract from the honor that is due her ; it is probably a tribute to her good generalship. She has worked hard and faithfully, always mspiring her fellow-workers and coordinating their activities into one harmonious whole.
