THE LAST UTTERANCES OF
THE EDITORIAL SWAN
Success of The "Warwhoop"
Reviewed
Alas! It has come our time
to utter the swan song, a song
of farewell and a wish of a suc
cessful voyage for "The War
whoop", as its next lap of the
journey will be piloted by a
new editorial staff, which we
feel quite sure will raise "The
Warwhoop" to higher stand
ards as a literary production
and as a school weekly.
In this, our last utterance, we
wish to review the success, with
which the first attempt of pub
lishing a school paper at A. H.
S. has met. In the initial issue
of "The Warwhoop", the staff
enumerated a list of standards
and aims, by which we were to
lend our energies toward ac
complishing. If we remember
correctly, the first and chief
aim of "The Warwhoop" was
to serve as an outlet, pertaining
to all school movements, organ
izations and methods of better
ing the conditions and advan
tages of Ahoskie's school chil
dren. To this end we have
worked for no short period and
we feel fully assured that "The
Warwhoop" has been a success
from this viewpoint.
Within these columns, we
have given you serious articles,
outlooks on the different phases
of school life, accounts of the
various athletic activities and
basket-ball games, weekly re
ports of the Columbian and
Hesperian Literary Societies,
notes of school interest, literary
productions of high school stu
dents, both in prose and poetry
and a few laughs between from
the clean jokes appearing in
the column headed "The Funny
Bone."
In viewing the Success of
"The Warwhoop" from the
other standards of less import
ance, we trust that our columns
have proved an incentive in
arousing the people of Ahoskie
and'community to a realization
of the additional educational
advantages which are needed
and which we trustf Ahoskie
High School will be able to of
fer before the year 1924.
The above statements have
not been made in a self-compli
mentary attitude as we realize,
while reviewing our brief per
iod of office, that numerous
mistakes have been made?
As is the custom at A H S, all
organizations, save the classes
and athletic Associations, elect
new officers for the spring term
and so we, the editorial staff,
willingly and cheerfully give
our task to the 1923 editorial
staff, headed by Miss Sybil
Myers, a capable member of
the Senior Class. We trust that
the staff-elect will select as two
of its standards the following:
1. The arousing of interest
and enthusiasm in the erection
of a modern $100,000 school
building.
2. The paving of the way for
an indepepdent school weekly
for the session of 1923-24.
* Before ending the last stanza
of our swan song, the editor
' wishes to thank the entire edi
torial staff including Misses
Emily Gayle, faculty supervis
or, Mabel Claire Hoggard,
Elizabeth Dilday, Bessie Cow
an, Mary Sumner and Mr.
Columbus McKeel, for their
hearty support in the success of
"The Indian Warwhoop." And
to the new editorial staff, we
say, "To you, we give the task.
Be yours to hold it high."
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Just another suggestion as to
increasing the -high school
sririt?an alumni association of
Ahoskie High School. An
alumni association endeavors
to promote the welfare of the
school in any way possible, to
unite the bonds of unity be
tween the graduates, and to in
crease the love for its alma
mater. And, why cannot
Ahoskie High School have a
' 4
band of loyal graduates, who
will seek to help A. H. S. and
to increase its prestige? We
should and shall have an active
alumni association!
? Numerous high schools of
North Carolina have organized
almuni associations, and we
must do likewise to keep pace,
as we remember the axiom,
the survival of the fittest."
The graduates of A. H. S.
have increased considerably
within the past half-decade and I
our alumni and alumnae, as a I
majority, are living near Ahos
attending college,I
which all tends to make the
effecting of an A. H. S. Alumni
Association possible.
The class of '28, which num
bers sixteen, will swell the
number of graduates to a large
degree. The school -has no
record of its alumni and alum-l
nae, therefore making it impos-l
sible to give a list of its grad
uates in this issue, but before
the present session will have
ended, we hope to have in the
school's possession, a complete
list of A. H. S. graduates.
"The Warwhoop" gives its
endorsement to this needed or
ganization and fully expects
that, if possible, at commence-l
ment, an active and earnest I
alumni association may be or-1
ganized.
FIGURES SPEAK FOR
VALUE OF EDUCATION
1. Every day spent in school
pays a child $9.02.
Here is the proof:
2. Uneducated laborers earn!
on the average $500 a year for
40 yeara, a total of $20,000.
High school graduates!
earn on the average $1,000 a
40 yeara' a total
$40,000.
4. This education requires
12 years of school of 180 days
each, a total of 2,160 days in I
school.
jj\J?A'160 days at school
add $20,000 to the income for
life, then each day at school
adds $9.02.
6. The child that stays out
of school to earn less than $9.02
a day is losing money, not
making money. /
7. With no schooling of
5,000,000 people, only 31 at
tained distinction.
8. With elementary school
ing of 83,000,000, only 808 at
tained distinction.
With high school educa-l
tion ^of 3,000,000 people, only
1,245 attained distinction. j
10. The child with no school
ing has one chance in 150,000
of performing distinguished
service.
11. With elementary educa
tion, he has 4 times the chance.
12. With high school euca
tion, 87 times the chance.
With college education,
800 ties the chance.

a walk over for the "Sophs", as the

they wete overwhelmingly victorious,
winning by the score of 10 to 3. Theo
