In contrast, the first Hughes Annual was published in 1870, fonyesix years after the death of Thomas Hughes and the same year that Charles Dickens diedethe illustrious author whose works are read by alm05t all Hughes students. Major League baseball was started with the formation of the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869. Ohio State University Was established in 1870 at Columbus. The famous Tyler- Davidson fountain was dedicated barely one year later. Cincinnatits first May Festival was held in 1873, although the completion of Music Hall was still five years away. L Through the years, Hughes High School'has seen promis- ing young students become leaders in many fields and de- velop into fine athletes. The size of the student body has increased and to meet the growing size and need for modern conveniences, the building, too, has been improved. We, in 1969, sincerely wish to think that if Thomas Hughes were to look down upon us today, he would be proud of what he saw. Echoing a voice from the past, we say: hUnlettered, lowly, modest and obscure, And yet his name through ages will endure?

Looking backwards through time and history is our aim in this, our hundredth Annual. From the present to the past wehll travel, finding many things unknown or perhaps just forgotten in the hundred years past. In the modern 19605 We have seen great achievements made in the fields of space exploration, medicine and sports. A promising football club, the Cincinnati Bengals, was born in 1968. In a sadder vein, the nation mourned the loss of two great leaders, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. A new double-tiered blidge was opened across the Ohio River, a marked change from the C810 Bridge built in 1888 and the Suspension Bridge of 1865.
