mlno.lnd.
Hut there is :anothe r si~ l c to this !ltory. We 'June

If you ha,·e :t.ny critic~sms to ~akc, •:ake them. If
you have a ny suggest ions to gtve, g tvo _them, but

t hat in t ho futu re these also will le nd all their Influence in making the NormRI Pointer 9 greater success than ever before. Jn unity there Is strength.
Besides this, we believe t hat the better the school
pRpcr is the better will the school be thought of.
Tho influence that such a paper h1111 upon outRiders
in forming their Olllnlon of what.tho ~<cboolrea lly Ia,
cannot be overestimated. Therefore It behooves all
to see that tho best, tho ''cry best, and nothing but
the bc~t work possible is a llo wed to get Into t ho pa·
per.
With this issue tho sto.IT make their bows and,
with lightened heart!!, lay aside their editoria l work.
The fu ture welfare of tbe l~ol nter will ever be in
thei r minds.
The incoming staf! ha.ve their best
wishes. May every success be theirs. T o those who
h:l\'6 stood by us a nd given us words of encourage·
mc nt we wish to expreS!I our sincere than ks. And
now, gentle reader, "Fare thee well." We hope
that in look ing over t hese pages you will not be too
critical but rather, when you have Hnished, thAt you
will htu-e a better estimatio n of us than ever before.
