The Forester of ' 21 ran a close second in size to the publication of the previous year. Containing 1 84 pages, the book was edited by Thomas Holloway, Jr., editor, and C. O. Gill, manager. Mr. Parker, the new principal of a year, received the annual ' s dedi- cation. The Home Economics sec- tion was one of the better features.
