lntrOductory . , 1 , wx, T IS WITH some natural mis-giving that xyvepthe class of 1905, ,163 pxsent to the public this, the first atteniptf. of fthe Caroline High Qu School to compete with sister institutions in the line of under- 6 graduate literature. 'pf In ' -' When any enterprise of doubtful merit is to be launched upon the public, it is customary to herald it by advertisements in the' Sunday news- papers, or by agents setting forth the Wonderful advantages to be obtained by becoming a subscriber to, or partner in the undertaking. ' . V' We do not feel this to be necessary in presenting our youthful- effort, Ouiwam' Boumi, to the public. , in The Well-known standing of our institution, the scores of persons who have received their mental training here, will assure us success. . A In these pages an attempt is made to present a view of our Alma Mater as she is today, though glimpses are taken at our historic and interesting past. We believe no one will question the need or the practical utility of this volume. There exists a niche, long vacant, which it endeavors to ill. How snug- ly, we must leave it to others to judge. w Aside from other considerations which may have influenced us, We have felt within ourselves the Want ofa publication of this kind to aid in crystalizing the progressive spirit now existent among our students,.and in-consumniating it into permanent and continuous advancement. , ,A I Our class has ever been recognized as being originals and it is with much pride that We present the first volume of the Annual. Perhaps no better sign of the in- rease of school spirit and the development of our High School can be offered than this year's Outward Bound, which Will stand as a lasting evidence of the progress of Alma Mater. 10
