gditurial It is with trembling and many misgivings that we present this book to the public, and not knowing in what manner it received, we feel we must pave a way for the reader, explain ourselves, so to speak. First, we would have you know this is the first annual for Bucyrus High and the first publication of any descriptic attempted by us. It seems but proper to mention our inexperience as a sort of an apology. To us this first Bucyrian seems to have a two fold significance. One is that it is the only memorial of this nature which h been left to the High School by 21 graduating Class. . The other is that it sets forth a list of the Alumni and the present status High School together with its history, in 21 permanent form. Our school heretofore lacked these things, and we have endeavr the best of our ability to supply them. To make personal mentioh of all those who have assisted us in any way would almost necessitate the printing of another i But we wish especially to thank our Business Manager together with his Assistants, for their eFfm'ts which they put forth to ma book a success financially. The Assistant liditors have worked painstakingly at the tasks set before them, and the Editors of departments have each labored to make their special department the best. The Class 21s a whole have aided us considera spirit manifested toward us, and the High School in general has given us appreciated assistance by advertising: and selling of this work. The Faculty Critics have acted toward us as guardian angels, and their suggestions from former experienc us wonderfully. To the advertisers who have patronized us so liberally we owe our thanks, for their patronage has heel and substantial. And now having doneiwhat we could to make this worthy of Bucyrus High, we submit it to you, hoping it will hearty approval. lCD U!

011'th I believe that intelligence is the only safety for a democracy, and that the public school is the best means of obtaining that intelligence. I believe in information rather than in reformation-in home and school and church rather than in jail and workhouse and penitentiary. I believe that the greatest factor in education is the trained teacher; that i the first consideration in school conditions is care for the childls health and safety. I believe that every dollar expended in making the school environment ideal will come back with added interest to the home and state. I believe that the aim of education is the socialization of the child, and that IIsociety function? are the bane of high school efhciency. Ibelieve that education should trend toward the hand and not away from it; that the next twenty-five years will give great prominence to vocational and industrial training. I believe that every child in America, endowed with fair physical and mental ability, no matter how poor in money, can obtain a high school or even a college education, if only he have the will. I believe in high school athletics when properly controlled and regulat- ed; that a combination of Athenian and Spartan ideals will make for the highest good. I believe in the possibilities of youth, the honesty of purpose of teachers, the hopefulness of parents, the wisdom of laws, and the ultimate destiny of good for all. Ibelieve with Tennyson, IIThat nothing walks with aimless feetIHf That somehow good will be final goal of illf, I believe that the hand of God is Clearly revealed in history, and that the destinies of individuals are as surely guided. I believe that manls chief duty is to raise his SELF to higher levels, and help on the race; that work,of whatever nature that helps to accomplish this W. N. BEETHAM, PH. 3., end, is divine. SUPERINTENDIEN'I' OF SCHOOLS I believe in liberty, but not license; and that obedience to law is free- dom, and not bondage. I believe in the chastisement 0f aHliction, and the rewards of virtue; that this life is a school, that death is Commencement, and that the lVIaster Wlll award the diplomas. W l. .
