D 4 THE ARDSLEYAN FOREWORD This is the Hrst Yearbook of the Ardsley High School, and the most ambitious publication ever assembled by the student body of this School. In 1923 we had a school paper called The Ardsleyan which was published four times during the year. On the whole, it was only the enthusiasm of the Editorial Board and the Faculty Advisers, and the munificence of the Student Council that kept it going. By the time the manuscript was trans- lated to the finished magazine, the news was stale. Although the student body from Grade 6 upward loyally supported the paper, there was usually a deficit for the Student Council Treasurer to efface. In September 1923 the problem of a school paper again came up to greet the Student Council. On the advice of Principal Silliman they decid- ed to publish a weekly newspaper of one or two sheets on the mimeograph, which would furnish fresh news and a small revenue which could be devot- ed to the publication of a School Annual at the end of the year. These plans proved more successful than our hopes. The High School News went to press every Friday noon and an hour later was in the hands of the readers What metropolitan daily can beat that record? Extras were published at critical times-as when the Mutts beat the .Ieifs in the Subscription Contest and when Brown and Underhill won both first prizes at the Greenburgh Speaking Contest. This Newspaper had a weekly cir- culation of 200 to 500 copies, and expenses being light, and the publisher generous, the Annual Fund reached EE70. by May 1st, 1924. In the pages that follow we shall attempt to publish the pictures and the news of the school year 1923-24 that are most worthy of permanent re- cord, and to impress upon the reader the wonderful school spirit that ex- ists in A.
