(THE oracle: ) The Pride of the Staff ZI lACK in nineteen thirteen, Abington High School edited its first volume of the Oracle. The school was justly proud of its little magazine. As the years went on, the magazine grew. It widened its scope, embracing new departments. Each succeeding editor brought new ideas for improving the Oracle. Each succeeding year saw a more ambitious effort on the part of the school to edit a first-class magazine. The height of success was reached in nineteen twenty-four and nineteen twenty-five when the Oracle was adjudged the best magazine of its class in America. Although we do not know our standing for this year, we feel that the Oracle has not deteriorated. We even make bold to say that it has improved. As the culminating literary effort, the Senior staff edits a year book. As the school has grown, so has the Year Book kept pace, until we have in this year’s effort, the largest Record Book ever attempted by a graduating class at Abington. The success of our Oracle is due to the willingness of the members of the staff to work at all times and to work hard. The task has often been tedious and sometimes has seemed almost hopeless. A good workman, however, finds his reward in the joy of turning out a well-finished product. As our forefathers took pride in their first great document, the Declaration of Independence, as they gloried in the result of their valorous toil, so we, members of the Oracle staff, are proud of our efforts and find our reward in the satisfaction which one feels over a task well done.
