who hru s hown a si ncere intere."t in the highes t
welfare of The Pointer. Thtl t!dltor-in-ehlef hh
worked with him fo r' hours and a lways found the
best o~ co-operation . All farM typographical excelle ncy is concerned, we certainly need not feel
Rllhamed of our paper: anti for this Mr. J.' isber hall
the right to a large as8ignment of credit. ..
The Pointer now pa.ues into a period or summer
hi bernation, ao to s peak. In two months It must be
res urrected. ~iay it rise In glory ami Into a loftier
11phere than uer before. The staff of '88-'99 are
ready to fling so~ga of good will and best wishes.
With theae words we make our bow, hopi ng you
