Jn iflpmnriam To the memory of an efficient teacher and a kind and helpful friend, MISS SARA HUDSON, we solemnly dedicate this space in the Tatler. Her friends were without num- ber and she had no enemies. With a life full of kindly deeds she died as she had lived, with malice toward none; with charity for all.

DEDICATION To the memory of the three former Alton High School students, Elden Betts, Bert Russell and Earl Osborn, who made the supreme sacrifice in order that democracy should dwell upon the earth, we respectfully dedicate this issue of the Tatler. Although but one of them met his death in No Man’s Land, yet the other two were just as truly heroes. Each gave all that he had for his country — greater love hath no man than this.

This issue of the Tatler is to be known as the Victory Tatler. First, because of the victories of our armies and those of our allies in the cause of democracy over the powers of autocracy and im- perialism. Second, because of the victories of our athletic teams, our foot- ball having won the Southern and Central Championship of the State, and our basket ball team the South Central Championship, losing but two out of games played. Third, because of the difficulties which we overcame to enable us to publish this book. This book is not what we would have liked it to be. in justice to the name of “Victory,” yet considering the fact that the Tatler Board was not elected until four months past the usual time, and other impediments, we hope that the reader will not be wholly dissatisfied with our production, as we have done our best in the time allotted to us.
