24 NORMAL OFFERING '-Ehitnrial. r S members of the Editorial Board of this Volume of the Normal Offering we wish to say that we have worked to the best of our ability. We have worked faithfully to attain the aim, to improve upon the publications of the previous years, and hope we have succeeded. If this book does not fulfill the expectations of our readers, we Wish to express our regret. Please remember that the cost of paper and all printing materials has advanced in price over one-half since last year, consequently we have had to limit somewhat our material. As Editor-inChief, we wish to thank all the members of the school who so willingly have helped us in our work. We wish to express to Miss Dickinson and Miss Soper our appre- ciation for their assistance in the Literature and Art Departments. Our thanks are extended to Mr. Armstrong, who has so kindly con- tributed to our book. Of our business manager and his assistant we can only say that no more efficient helpers could be desired. Our photograph editor has held a very unfortunate position this year, resulting from our misfortune of last year. May she accept these few words of thanks. Last but not least, we offer to our associate editors many thanks for their cooperation with the officers of the board. The material they have given as contributors from their classmates is thoroughly appre- ciated. We wish also to acknowledge some of the headings for the divi- sions, taken from books of previous years. THE EDITOR.
