were graduated, ln the lives of their pupils may the principles of our teachers be read, and may every heart mirror their virtues. As the appreciative words of the Alumni will testify, Hughes has been for- tunate in having teachers who have not only performed their classroom duties in a skillful, efficient manner, but have devoted their time after school hours to the cultivation of the tender buds by their care, friendship and interest, so that the lives of the pupils have been not a drudgery of learning from textbooks, but a practical, valuable education. Athletic teams have been encouraged, clubs and organizations have Hourishedg school papers and annuals have been pub- lished: all sponsored by capable and enthusiastic teachers. It is no wonder that the flowers have been well-developed specimens. The Hughes pupils of the present day are the children and grand-children of the Hughes alumni and of the Hughes teachers. Many of those strong blossoms have withered and fallen off, some are still blooming and flourishing. May the newly-opened fiowers and those with petals still tightly closed in buds, with the advantage of the great opportunities and under the gentle hand of the teachers, backed by the very soul of tradition, blossom forth into flowers that rival or even excel the first ones of this hardy, now seventy-year old plant. We are going to close our preface by quoting a song of the Class of 1855. taken from the first Hughes Annual. A PARTING SONG cSufn.g by the Class of 1855 e ll'z'ntcr lernzi Albert H. Allen I Time is ever slowly ebbing, Brightest joys are soonest gone, Youth's fond pleasures, too, are transient, Failing ere they're fairly won: But the mem'ry of school hours, In our hearts will be most dear, Tinting with their hues of beauty Clouds of sorrow, toil and care. II Go ye forth, then, dear companions, Calmly view the field of life, Steadfast in the path of duty, Quail not in the coming strife, And when darkening cares assail thee, Seek and find in heaven a guide, Placing trust in Him, our Father, Good, not evil, shall betide. HI Here we part, and yet, though severed Are the bonds that bind us here, Friendship's claim shall ne'er be broken, But shall hold us ever near, And though through this world of trouble All perhaps may widely rove, Guided by the star of heaven, May we meet at last above.

Mr. A. R. Kratz, who this year relieved Mr. L. E. Aiken of many of his duties, has been a most successful director. Under the direction of Mr, Kratz, the orchestra has made several public appearances. Our first appearance was in our own Hughes auditorium and our second appearance Was at the Altamont, Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, Where we played for the disabled soldiers. Our last and most interesting appearance was our series of three concerts in April for the Music Supervisors' Convention. We have undertaken several numbers which are frequently played by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and have been very successful in rendering them at our public ap- pearances. All the members have enjoyed both the work and the pleasure con- nected with this organization, and we only hope that it will be as successful and Violins Viola Cornet enjoyable next year. Jos. L.
