Foreword As we, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three, on our voyage through high school, near Port Diploma, we feel, in looking hack, that we owe a great deal of gratitude to our school board, our faculty and our parents for the assistance and guidance they have given us. We thank our school board for our wonderful school building, for the privileges we have been given, and for their support in our school, class and athletic activities. We thank our faculty for the patience they have had with us, for the knowledge they have given us, and for their assistance in publication of this annual. Our gratitude to our parents for the privilege of attending this institution, and to Mrs. Burgess for her sincere devo-lion to us as a class mother. To Mrs. Catterson we give the credit of the success that this annual meets. Her good judgment, her willingness to help and spend her time for our interests, has made this publication possible.

Mrs. Catterson Where do some people get the mistaken idea that being on an Annual Staff is some sort of recreation which requires no work but merely calls for a dignified appearance? To gain this said appearance, each person on the staff was at first required to wear bone-rimmed spectacles and a pencil behind his ear, but when the entire staff was in work up to its neck, the glasses were removed and were replaced by grim, determined looks of which the entire student body stood in awe. Chandos, because she was athletic editor, undertook to act out all the athletic poses she described, much to the entertainment of the staff. Carrie Moon looked like the living personification of “The Thinker.” Every joke heard in any room called forth a hollow laugh from Vera and out came the time worn note book and the stub left of a pencil, and some one always knew he would see his name in print. Anne’s job was to depict us as others see us, and many of us after seeing our poses wish we had been statuary. Helen became so absent-minded trying to get all the clubs written up that she ordered club sandwiches every day for lunch. Stella had to step out every night to get all the society notes, and Edward Trout advertised everything from Arrow Collars to Statite hair tonic for the benefit of the Annual fund. Carl was so busy transacting business that for the last few days before our Annual went to press he forgot to eat, and had that lean and hungry look. Marian’s favorite expression was “Look pleasant and Let Me Shoot You,” which sounded wild; but only meant that she wanted your snapshot for a keepsake. If you approached the Editor-in-Chief or his assistant with a forgotten article at the last minute, Torrence would stamp and tear his hair and Eleanor utter a shrill scream and fall in a dead faint. Mrs. Catterson helped everyone, and Miss Mellow heard all our troubles. The entire staff is just recovering from a nervous breakdown, after seeing their toil in print. ELEANOR BARNUM. Page Seven
