EDITORIALS HY have an annual? Well, suppose we try this sort of an answer. This school is a dandy. We are all very glad to have been a part of it. We do not like to think of the time when we will no longer own some little corner of A. H. S. Particularly, we do not like at all, the notion that these school- mates of ours will move away into times and places outside of our lives. We 've become uso used to you , you know. Of course, it would be ideal if we could arrange to have chums, friends, and beloved enemies, always at hand. Perhaps, some day, some type of animate mummy may be perfected so that we can have our old schoolmates forever where we may see them as we wish. But, until that time comes, our best resource is to pack them all into the coniines of an annual and keep them there. Hence, the Alhambran. This is more than mere sentiment. The writer has often needed help and inspiration which could be supplied only by Laura 's grin, or Eddie 's camera, or a glimpse of Lottie earnestly expostulating with Miss Blount. You all know how it is. Some life strikes melody from your own and you need it. Well, here they are, pictured at their best and guaranteed not to change. When, years hence, your responsibilities oppress you and you' feel inclined to ditch,', open the old Alhambran and look again at the V-P's. When woes o'er- whelm you and you wonder if life is worth living, look again at the old crew and laugh with them. Here they are, all of them 5 they 're worth keeping. So, we have an annual. T HAS been the aim of the Alhambran to portray the life of the school as closely as possible by the articles and pictures in this annual. Limitation, both in time and money, has prevented the inclusion of a number of departments in this annual which might have added greatly to the interest and beauty of the book. However, we hope that it will give a fairly comprehensive portrayal of the life at A. H. S. It has been our purpose from the first, to give a record of the achievements of the years 1922-'23, as complete as possible so that the Seniors may, in years to come, look back to this annual with pleasure as they remember their old high school days. We hope that we have been successful in our purpose. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to thank every member of the faculty who has aided in forming this annual, and everyone who has contributed to it. Much credit is due Mr. McAlpine, our faculty adviser, for his able assis- tance in times of need. Miss Bainbridge, faculty adviser for the art work, has produced remarkable work, and for that we thank her most kindly. We also wish to thank the students who so willingly typed our material in preparation for the press. To the Seniors, we extend the heartiest wishes for success in the future, as successful- as their high school days have been. As we close, we wish to say that we realize the many limitations of this annual, but we only hope that the readers will overlook them and get as much pleasure from this book as we have tried to give.
