With this issue of the Record begins the
trials of a new staff. We are conscious of the
fact that our last editor, Hammond Crabbe,
has raised the standard of the paper to a
higher level than ever attained before. It
is our earnest intention to do our best to maintain this standard. We will put forth every
effort to make the Record rank with the best
of the  school papers.    We do not promise to
do better, but we do promise to do as well.
Our motto is "Promise little, but do much,"
and we will live up to it.
This staff begins work without a debt hanging over from the previous term. This is the
first time in the history of the Record that
such a thing has happened. As a rule a comparatively large debt has been incurred by getting out a commencement number and the new
staff has always fallen heir to this. Since we
have escaped this rather undesirable heirloom
we give great credit to the editor and business
managers for their keen business ability.
Physical culture has been a much debated
question this term, especially among the Seniors. At first the young ladies of the upper terms
seriously objected to taking physical culture.
They argued from the point of view of expense.
They said that the expense of buying suits was
too great for the time actually spent in the
gymnasium. A few hours under Mrs. Mc-
Quade's able training, however, has entirely
changed the view of the students. At present it would be difficult to find a more enthusiastic body of physical culture students than
are found in the seventh and eighth terms.
Since the foot-ball season is past all the interest in athletics seems to have centered
around tennis. The courts are in use constantly and every opportunity available is utilized to trying to become skillful tennis players.
We have had various changes in the faculty
this   term.    At  the   close  of  last  term   Prof.
Chase   resigned  his   position   as   head   of  the
science department and was succeeded by Mr.
Davis of Los Angeles.    Though we feel deeply
the  loss  of  Mr.  Chase,  we  feel  compensated
by the presence of Mr. Davis, who, in the short
time he has been here has won the respect of
all.

A few weeks ago Miss Jones obtained leave
of absence to take up special work at the
University of California. It can be readily
seen what an important position Miss Jones
held, for it has taken three people to take her
place. Miss Henley now acts as preceptress,
Miss Barnard, teaches the history class formerly taught by Miss Jones, and Mrs. Hull
teaches the class in reading and phonics.
