m'47fa9ASs4M6,.. I Did Make a Solemn Vow Up betimes to revisit, for this last day but 0116, the South hall of learning, there to gaze in unabashed sadness on its ivy-covered walls and spacious grounds which do appear most monstrous lovely at this season, more than I did rememberthem to be these three years pastg mount the broad stair to where the great trophies burnished to brightness keep their vigil, thence on through the time-honored halls where in company with sundry other scholars I was wont to pursue my dilatory way these many years, God help me for my waywardness in the matter of my own language and the mathematics, I now being obliged to apply myself to both with much diligence. The hours being brief I did offer a speedy farewell to each of those as did instruct me but did dally with some a short space to confess my faults, which it seems they did know all the while and were most understanding withal. This did cause me no end of sadness for their concern of me, so that I took a troubled farewell of all them that I loved and turned my way home- ward, there to reflect on all that has been and all that is to be. When I did set my unwilling feet upon the way I turned my tearful eyes back upon the great flag of my country and methought it did bespeak in most eloquent fashion the freedom that is both within and without those sacred walls so that I was much moved and did make a solemn vow that it shall ever be so. -wif Page Five lif-

' ' famed! 64, ,meaewted , , . With profound apologies to the renowned Samuel Pepys, charmingly informal diarist of the Seventeenth Century, herein is set forth an historical account of events in the hall of learning known as South High in the fair city of Youngstown during tl1e Year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Forty- five together with divers compendia of information pertaining to both such as do acquire and such as do disseminate knowledge within these cloistered walls and much of the activities of these persons, regular and irregular. Methinks this book will be of exceeding great profit to all who do interest themselves in the affairs of our honored school. The writing of this Journal was a most monstrous task as all who did take part herein will attest. Miss Simmons does merit much praise for the time and patience she did expend in supervising the labors of the scholarly youths who are known collectively as the Annual Staff and who did compose this monu- mental work. Be it known that this the annual record did begin as an amorphous mass of words and did resolve itself, with no great speed into a vague for111 and finally into a skeleton lacking only dress and adornment. Now with both dress a11d adornment added by expert craftsmen in the art of hookmaking the finished Journal- is presented to the gentle reader as a product of our complete labors. With much interest the verdict of the reader is awaited, but clemency is implored. elf Page Four lf?
