t High School, the editors extend a hearty greeting. Fg Be (EH) S) With the publication of this volume a great respon- bare Ss sibility is ended for the editorial staff. We hope eee that the Acorn of 1913 will be received kindly, since it is the best that we have to offer. In this semester, the Alameda High School has broadened in many ways. School spirit, or that indefinable something called “pep,” has again enlivened the school. We have tried, not so much to make radical changes in the Acorn, as to improve by making it expressive of and worthy of the school. In our at- tempts we were hampered,—hampered by doubts of policy, by financial limits, and by the usual ignorance concerning the pub- 2 O the faculty, friends and members of the Alameda lishing of a school paper. To all those who have aided us we wish to express our gratitude. It is needless to say that in the work of building‘up and hammering into shape this publication, the staff would have been greatly handicapped were it not for the aid received from the faculty, the contributors, the printers, and from the editors of last semester’s Acorn. We also ac- knowledge our debt to those who have financially made this volume a possibility; our advertisers, the High Senior Class, and the purchasers. To all these, therefore, the editors and staff of the Acorn of June, Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen, de- sire to express their most sincere appreciation. —THE EDITORS.
