PREFACE The 19-12 Clarion, first edition, is an entirely new work. Its newness, however, represents not a break with tradition but rather its fulfillment. For many years the annual Clarions have been part ofa series of which the old Clarion magazine was the parent work and the Clarion as we know it a subsequent offspring. Since the first book which corresponded with our idea of an annual was published, each year another Clarion has fol- lowed its predecessorasometimes larger, usually better, but, notwithstanding, another Clarion, carrying on the tradition of many years. The forerunner of the present Clarion was born in 1899. The beginning can best be told by quoting from an article which appeared in the first issue on Novem- ber ft, 1899. The story . f? reads: Monday, Sep- - tember 18, H8991 in i the afternoon, Profes- . f 8- sor Pringle spoke to I H Q the school concerning ' the advisability of 1 having a school paper, i and called a meeting of all interested in such a course. About twenty-five pupils responded to the call, and after various suggestions had been offered, it was decided to appoint a committee on subscription lfrom the school alonej, a committee on estimates, and a committee to look up a suit- able name for the paper. The name decided upon was the Ryan Clarion, and the first issue sported a heavy paper cover and twelve pages. This was a combination school newspaper and literary maga- zine. lt was published bi-monthly, and the final issue of the year was somewhat larger, containing First Ryan Clarion, Nor., 1899 articles summing up the school and student life. T h e r e w a s n o change made in this form until 191 li, when the June issue appear- ed and surprised the student body with its greater size and pic- tures ofthe graduating .gf-q..-. ,- , 7, K - was f ,Q f l 5 74681921 AJIHUAL Iv .TL ni-1 ,' Jw, . iz . , , . , 1 f. ..

This custom of having a large June issue, which somewhat approached the yearbook style, and publishing the bi-monthly magazines was followed until the school year of' 1924-25. In that year the present publications of' Appleton High School were started. The first issue of the Talisman was distributed to the students in the fall of 192-1, and the first Clarion with all the modern improvements, such as a leather cover, binding, and glossy pages with colored pictures, made its appearance in June of 1925. The book was a magnificent success in every way but financially. lt left a twelve hundred dollar debt to be shouldered the following year by the incoming principal, who was Mr. Herbert H. Helblex. The 1925 Clarion set. the style for the others to follow lexcept financiallyl, Which they have done for the past sixteen years. This year, we of the yearbook stall' offer something new and entirely different in the 1942 Self-Pronouncing Clar- ion Diclionary. A dic- l M 'H Il'17.ffLXli'f'x 4 tionary is a work of ref- - 4,.e .f if RQ Ti? sf . J . . ,J -gssg ' erence in which the .af words of a language or of any system or prov- lffw ince of knowledge are ' F' ii entered with defi- nitions and illustra- tions. A dictionary is, therefore, the best way in which any group or thing can be indexed and classified. This is what we of the Clarion staff set out to do in creating the 1912 Clariong consequently we chose the dictionary to be the theme of our book. We have tried to carry it out consistently throughout both cover and pages. The cover, with its design, was chosen to resemble that of a dictionaryg the type faces used throughout, the book are similar to those used in the dictionary: the makeup of every page was designed after a typical dictionary page, the captions and stories have been written with the purpose that they should define in their narration 3 the pictures . are representative of the activities of the school and the illus- trations in a diction- ary: and lastly, the self- pronouncing sen- ior section and phonetic table of contents were added to complete the dictionary theme. An additional first is the copyrighting of the 19-12 Clarion, the first publication of Appleton High School to be so registered with the lf. S. copy- right oflice. Une issue of 1915 Clarions Two pages from 1925-Clarion We of the staff' wish to extend our thanks again to the Webster-lVlerriam Company for their kind permission to duplicate certain pages from their Collegiate Dictionary, fifth edition. We pre- sent this new idea for your approval and hope that each succeeding Clarion continues the advancement of the past years. We trust we have created some- thing new and differ- rl' ent and worthy of the name Clarion, and we hope the 19142 Clarion. Dictionary will take the usual cherished and esteemed place among the students, adminis- tration, and graduates of Appleton Senior High School. ' THE EDITORS E 1 if-ff:-:x. mg. Ei, , l..
