B wa of lpreface LTHOCGH the ' 97 Aurora was published under serious difficulties and with many obstacles, — how difficult and how serious only the editors themselves can bear witness, — yet it was far more successful than even its most optimistic projectors dared hoped for. In a financial way especially was there unlooked-for success, for the business managers found, when their books were audited, a generous sum left in their hands. Encouraged by this, the ' 98 staff was very enthusiastic, and eager to begin work on Volume II. Then interest flagged, and even as late as the return from the Christmas holidays, the proposition was advanced that the Annual should be dropped, and if two of the staff had not firmly repudiated such an idea, there is a probability that no Aurora would have been issued this year. Issued it has been, though, and we now lay the result before a generous public, certain that we will receive kind treatment and impartial judgment even from those who were most skeptical as to the ability of the A. S. I. students to succeed in even-thing they undertake. But this skepticism was almost wholly removed by the appearance of the ' 97 Aurora, and as to what degree of success has been attained this year let others decide. The book lies open before you. In the preface to last year ' s Annual, the statement was made that no Southern school for girls had ever before attempted to send out an annual. This, I believe, was correct then, but about the time the Aurora appeared, Y ' s and Other Y ' s, of Converse College, came out. I wish to say that the whole editorial staff of the Aurora gladly welcomed this volume from our sister college, and now hopes that they, too, will continue the good work. Thus, for this year there will be three annuals published by girls in Southern schools, for it is reported that Hollin ' s Institute intends to join our ranks. In behalf of the editors, I wish to return thanks to Mrs. Gaines and Miss Nellie Womack for the contribution of several poems, to Miss Anna Parks Hutchinson and Mr. John Schenck for some pen sketches, to the old girls who have given assistance whenever asked, and to students who have given their hearty co-operation. Especial thanks, however, are due Miss McKinney, and to Miss Buck and the members of the Crow Quill Club who have earnestly worked to improve the character of the pen sketches. Thanks are also due the C. P. Byrd Printing Company for their uniform courtesy and assistance. Sincerely yours, M. Eugenia Mandevh,i,e. 7
