NT? APPRECIATION We, the Editors of the Acorn, take this opportunity to extend our thanks . i, y Polar J Bs to all those who have shown an interest in the editing of this book. We wish to thank the Faculty for encouragement and advice; the students who have contributed material for the pages of this issue; The Evening Times-Star; the Phoenix Photo Engraving Company for professional advice; the Star and Key for stimulating interest; and the High Senior Class for financing and managing its own department.
