Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chameleon, 1925, Vol. 4 The chameleon, as you probably know, is a small member of the chameleontes family, closely resembling the lizard. The essential differ ence between the two lies in the fact that the former may adapt his hue to suit the object with which he is in contact. Our chameleon is not a reptile, but, because it variegates its color annually, and since it may change to meet any situation, this appellation is appropriated. No longer is this periodical an infant; it has grown; it must grow to better the standard set by its previous publishers. Just as science is the mother of invention, determination fosters prog ress, consequently our lizard now resembles an alligator in Size; for determination is the watchword of Belmont High. Skeptics are to be found in school life as well as in business, but it would be a very cantank erous being, who has the audacity to state that our little pet has not won a high place in the annals of our High School.
