FIRST SCHOOL PAPER IN
AMERICA HaD NO NEWS
The first high school newspaper
published in this country started in
1829 at the Boston Lutin School, the
first secondary school in Americs.
It cun not retlly be called & sews-
p&per because it contained no news, ond
had only one page on which were two sto-
rics, one beginning;
"There are some who question the
propriety of pulling noses and call it
&n unmsnly snd unhandsome propensity;
but in my opinion it is the noblest sut-
isfsction ® man can take on snother man
who has done him sn injury," &nd ending
with the moral, “Acquire impudence by
some meSns or other and you will rise to
cminence."
Compsrison of thut first newspper
with & modern high school newspaper
rhows the vast amount of progress made
in 101 yeurs.

Lois Smith; No, the reception
should be more dignified than c masguerad

George Farrington; Yes, it would

Alfred Wheeler; Yes, it would pro-
vide more entertainment.
Sylvia Rypens: Yes, it wold be «

A BUSY HOUR
Smash! bang! a bell hos just rung;
end it's Milne Junior High lunch houre
The college students stand back against
the wall as the Milne pupils rush by.
The stiirs creak beneath them, cand
the door casings stretch us they all try
to enter the cafeteria at once. The
traffic officers lift their voices inc
unison of protest but the hurrying crowd
docsntt heed them. The chairs squexk,
und the voices are raised so that Dr.
Fredricks can't be hecrd when he makes
protest.
The food will wait for us; so letts
muke less noise and be & little more po-

BOOK REVIEW
"Hepatica Hawks" = Rachei Field
On Hepaticats fifteenth birthday
she wus an "ect" ina traveling freak
show. Her only friends were her father,
the gicnt; Miss Titenia Tripp, the midw
vet; the performing dog; and the monkey,
Chi-chi. Like her father, Hepatica wus
a gigantic child, standing six feet.
Hepatica longed to be like other young
people her age, and to have a good time
with them.
Then a lively boy, near her oyu
joined the show, Hepautica became
friend cnd defender. Life was thrill
