Auburn High School - Follies Yearbook (Auburn, IN)

THE BOOK The Mocking-Bird is the book of the Senior Class of 1917 of Auburn High School. We have tried to make it a review of the life and happenings of our school for the past year. But it is rather hard to make a best seller out of old material. This year we who have had charge of the book have not tried to put in anything new, (that would be rank heresy) but we have stirred up the old parts a little and put on some new trimmings so that it would look like a new dish anyway. However we have left in their time honored places, the two absolute essentials of an annual, the pictures of the Faculty and the advertising. If the Mocking-Bird has repeated any personal experiences which are objectionable to any of our readers, we are going to ask them that instead of making unpleasant remarks, they simply use the scissors on those particular sections of the book, each reader thus being an Editor in Chief and a Board of Censorship for himself. When you have proof read your copy in this cutting way, you will have an ideal book which you ean feel perfectly safe about showing to your friends, and it will be ready to stow away with the family album on the parlor table. To make this system of censorship possible we gave up the first idea of printing the Mocking-Bird on tin or asbestos leaves. But here is the Book. When we started, it was to be the best ever. Now we only hope it is not the worst ever. It does not represent our best efforts: we had to give those to getting our diplomas. We could have made a much better book if they hadn’t insisted on our keeping right on with our recitations all the time. The Staff.
