To tA. H. S. Thanks to thee, O worthy school! Thy blessings on us ever! May no dissension ever rage And our allegiance sever. VoT wisdom we have looked to thee And thou our boon hath granted— Our portion small as yet, indeed. But now the germ is planted. If it matures and waxes great To thee the praise is due; For we have only struggled on And thou hast brought us through. Thanks yet again we offer thee!

]fivixtmovh It is with a feeling of gladness that we offer this little book to the public. We are glad because we find our work brought to a successful close. Our rejoicing at this time is not alone a result of being freed from the heavy burden of work necessarily connected with any undertaking of this kind, for we have had some very peculiar difficulties to sur- mount. These we shall not dwell upon as they have now become a part of the conquered past. Our ecstasy resulting from the consummation of these labors knows no bounds. We are tempted to liken our present feelings to those of Atlas of old when he suddenly felt himself relieved of his ancient bur- den. Like him we are tempted, in our feeling of freedom, to run, to romp, to gamhol, to give ourselves over to wanton capers and caprices — only our dignity as seniors is able to hold these feelings in check. In preparing this book we have held up the mirror to high school life and hope that the resulting image is a faithful one. We have striven hard to make it so. If anyone has escaped our Joke Department, please do not think that we have shown favor — we do not deserve the gratitude of such a one. It was unintentional. We owe much to our fellow students for their efficient help in pre- paring this work. They have all been faithful and untiring in their efforts to aid us in every possible way. The business men of the city have shown a liberality in the financial aid given us that speaks well for their interest in the schools. To all of these the class of Nineteen Hundred Eight wishes to express its thanks and warmest appreciation.
