EDI T RML O SOME, this issue of tl1e Annual would stand for the production of a duly-expected book for which a small consideration had been paid and a fairly-gratifying product obtained. But there is a real lesson back of our efforts. ' What lesson, someone will ask, could be learned from the mere appear- ance of the High School Annual ? The lesson is just this and can be expressed in one word-co-operation. It is not necessary to dwell at much length on thc value of this attribute in a general sense but an indication of its application to the Annual will not 'be amiss. One of the most important duties of a Senior Class is the issuance of the Class Book, which should contain all the memories and data. that the graduate would like to treasure 1-lllli cherish in his journey through life. The evolution from a book simply for one class to a book for the entire school has been gradual. From a book of mere local interest it has grown to a book of general interest and all lbccause of the eogoperation of the students and faculty. The Annual Board. handicapped by a late start, realized that there was but one means of speeding up the work and that was by appealing to the student body. That appeal met with a whole-hearted response. Collectors were appointed and 'because of the a'ble H15-l11'Elg'E1I1911t of the Busi- ness Manager and his staff. a total of 625 subscriptions was amassed. In conjunc- tion with the business stafT's campaign for funds, the city was scoured for adver- tisements, a11d here the business men of Ithaca rallied to our standard in such numbers that there was 110 doubt of the ultimate financial success of the Annual. The next step toward its publication was to insure good write-ups for the rooms. teams, organizations. etc. Reporters were quickly. elected and they went about their tasks in a way that augured well for the write-ups. Co-operation be- tween the collectors and reporters was a favorable indication of the combined result of their work and it now is evident that our hopes were justified. In con- nection with thc reporters and collectors, a, few words should be said about the teachers, without whose loyal support the Annual would 11ot have b0G1l published. Due to their thought a11d help, many difficulties were met. and overcome. In conclusion, I wish to thank all the members of the Annual Board who have worked hard Hlld faithfully through thc year for the success of the Annual. Without complaint, they shouldered many new and unlocked-for -burdens, giving up time and pleasure for the good of their work. The success of our undertaking we leave to the judgment of our sympathetic readers. ' Thank You l if ff 77.-
