©few®! 3 We have striven early, striven late, To make our Annual up-to-date ; We ve worked with pencil, brush, and pen, To make this number Upper Ten, And through its pages, as you look, We think you 11 say : A charming book. ' ' You 11 find within its numerous pages College lore from all our sages ; Tennis teams and baseball nines Fight for place with glees and rhymes. The gym and all its lovers too, Are not left out ; they ' re all on view. We hope our book will please you quite ; We ' ve labored long with all our might, And if we cause a moment ' s fun, We all will feel our work s well done. And if it brings you one harsh thought, Be sure ' t was not for that ' t was wrought. J- 13

r Notwithstanding the many faults of this work, we are inclined to feel proud of our undertaking, as we feel safe in saying that as yet no other preparatory school in the State of Tennessee has the honor of boasting of an Annual ; and right here, we wish to express our best wishes for those who are contemplating assuming this by no means easy task. However, we are glad to welcome you in our new guise and as a last word, we wish to say that most of the material found in this book is original, without cor- rections or suggestions, and, in many cases, ' t is a maiden effort ; therefore be indulgent and reflect before offering criticism, whether due or undue. 12
