With this issue of “The Sham-
rock,” the Journalism class com-
pletes its year's work. We have en-
joyed our work with the paper, and
hope that the student body has en-
joyed reading it. The staff and
_ sponsor wish to take this opportun-
B ity of thanking the teachers of all
' the city schools and the students of
■ high school for the splendid spirit
* of cooperation shown throughout
the publication of this year's “Sham-
lm(1-ock." for it has lightened our task
to a great extent. We have put
forth our best efforts to give the
student body and faculty an inter-
estinf school paper with a variety of
news and features, showing parti-
ality to no special class or school,
and we hope that our efforts have
not been In vain. If we have in-
jured anyone’s personal feelings, it
has not been done intentionally, and
we trust that you will overlook it
as true Irish sports would. Yours
for a good “Shamrock" next year.

Frank Phillip* Addresses Senior
Class Wednesday Morning On
Importance of Friends
With JUNE KNIGHT
Romance in New York! Jeal-
ousy in Chicago! Murder in
Denver! And on to San Fran-
cisco in a mad dash to cap-
ture the guilty man!
Frank R. Phillips, head of the ag-
ricultural department at Canyon,
gave a very interesting address Wed-
nesday morning to the senior class.
Phillips stressed the Importance
of making the right kind of friends
when one goes to college. He said
that one’s associates have much to
do with the shaping of one’s life.
He also said that a man who smoked
could never be recommended to fill
any position, or a man who does not
use clean speech could not be rec-
ommended.
Phillips told how his life had
been turned when he ran across a
certain book. From this book he
adopted the motto “one can who
wants to." He said' this motto had
meant a lot In his life. The other
motto was "keep good company, and
you will be numbered with them."
Altogether his talk was enter-
■ Interesting,

The Shamrock public school ex-
hibit Is shown on the third floor of
the First Methodist church, where
the District P.-T. A. conference is
convening. The exhibit is an ex-
cellent affair of numerous posters,
folios, woodcraft, clay modeling,
flag duplications, relief maps, and
art.
As one enters the room his eye
is attracted first to the Indian te-
pee in the center of the room. This
tepee was constructed with gunny
sacks and slender locust limbs by
the second grade class of the North
Ward school and is a very commend-
able piece of elementary work. In
the entrance of the tepee Is an In-
dian tom-tom with large-headed
sticks resting on top—seemingly
ready for a bronze son of nature to
begin a monotonous beating of his
savage rhythm.
Draped on the walls of either side
of the room are flags of the numer-
ous nations of the world sewed to-
gether as If the nations represented
have united in an everlasting peace
pact. This was a project In junior
high geography.
Numerous ward school and Jun-
ior high posters adorn the walls—
posters on health, history, geogra-
phy. music, English, art, penman-
ship, nature, and other selected sub-
jects.
High school work Is represented by
colorful geometric designs, English
book report folios, botanical speci-
mens, and foreign language folios.
