CLZD 69 9 s Z5 A fa r fu i w 3 X Q g 1.113 N placing a school annual of this sort before the members and friends of the school, some word from the editors is looked for. The purpose of this section is twofold: First, to comment generally upon what has come before our notice during the past year, and, second, to bring the faculty and the student body in closer connection by presenting the students' side of several questions. The February Classes N spite of the unbelief of the doubtful, the success of the midyear class plan is assured. The February class organiza- tions now seem to be on as firm a basis as the june classes. To be sure, they are not so large, but each year brings nearly even division between the number entering in midwinter and fall. The matter of the CRIOLE has been successfully settled this year. The nominating committee picked from the two junior classes decided that the midyear class should have two of the positions on the board and the 1914 class the others. Any other class that sees fit can change this and have the editor- in-chief from the September class if it is desirable. The 1912M class prom at the Hotel Kimball was one of the most successful ever held at Tech, Can the midyear class give a prom worthy of the school? The class of 'IZM answered this question. It means a half year saved in a good many cases, and even if a fellow is going to college, a half year to work in or to make up some required subjects by going back to school is surely acceptable. The half year plan seems to be working. In a short while there will be no difference between the two classes and we gladly foresee the time when the members of the F eb-

12 THE 1915 ORIOLE ruary classes will not feel out of place. Let us try to make the rnost of the condition and make our school in every part, even to the abused half-year classes, the best. The Oriole HE crisis is past-the 1913 ORIOLE is a success. After two years of indifferent support and financial deficits the ORIOLE is again on its feet. The school understood at the first of the year that, if sufhcient interest was not shown to support a school annual, we would have none-but the school did its part. A comparatively large percentage subscribed for a book, but there is still no reason Why the student body to the last man should not buy an ORIOLE. Each person, it seems, can afford seventy-five cents for such a worthy cause. More- over the fact that one of these little books, when all the expenses are reckoned, costs about one dollar and twenty-five cents, proves conclusively that you are getting your money's worth. Contributions have been encouraging. Friends have been ready to help us, tickets for the entertainments have sold well, and we have been able to get together enough money and ma- terial to publish a book which We believe is representative and creditable to the school. But We have not tried to make a book so elaborate and so extravagant that in future years, when the class does not have as great financial success, they will feel that they cannot put as much into the annual and con- sequently that their book is unsatisfactory. We have tried this year to establish a standard, which we believe other classes can well equal, without going beyond their means. The ORIOLE is on its feet. Let us all boom it. Next year right from the first, talk ORIOLE. Save your jokes, draw pic- tures, write stories, remember your class activities from the beginning of school. Get busy, and remember that the ORIOLE stands for Tech, and that Tech stands for efficiency. Friday Morning Exercises NE of the features of life at Tech is the Friday morning exercises. Since the coming of the school to its present build- ing, it has been a custom to set aside a day, usually Friday,
