Our trophy case is at present situated at the entrance to the gymnasium and the question has arisen as to how many persons notice it in its present location enough to Be thoroughly acquainted with the contents. During the basketball season, the case undoubtedly comes in for a certain amount of observation, but after the season is over, students, faculty and school patrons seldom pass through that part of our building. Moving the trophy case near the main entrance of the school was thought best by the majority of students that the Journalism class interviewed, to determine what others thought on the subject. Most students pass through the hall opposite the front entrance of the building every day. Many patrons and other adult citizens enter the building at the front door when attend ing night classes, public entertainments and other affairs held in the high school building, and if thecase were located near this, entrance, they would have opportunities that they do not have now, of learning through observation of the trophies what attainments the high school students have reached along the lines of inter-school activity. If it is important to earn these cups, it must be important that everyone know about them. Many students interviewed .mreioned the fact that most other schools .have their trophies ■ ~~ mww . place near .A he .main entrance of" the builaing.
