PAGE 16 The Oracle Annual The high Schaol ,Xnnual had its origin in the monthly magazine, the popular publication in the high school of twenty years ago. One issue of that magazine was dedicated to the seniors and with the de- velopment of mid-year commencement two issues were set aside. Bay View published her Aumzal in 1917, a paper-covered book of forty-eight pages. In 1923, her first stiff-covered Ammal appeared, hold- ing its own with any vellum-bound books on our sh elves. All of our volumes submitted to- the Nation- al Scholastic Press Association judges were awarded the rank of Pace-maker, the highest group award to be earned. ln 1927, with our Hawthorne issue, piloted by Irene Ponto, Bay View was awarded not only a Pace-maker rank, but was awarded first place among the pace-makers, that is, first place in the Nation. ln 1929 we commemorated the fiftieth anniversary of Bay View and o-ur Annual, filled with pictures of pioneers and old settings, has become an authentic bit of Bay View history. This book, our largest, consisted of 246 pages. lt, too, was a first place winner. Caroline Tremain edited it. ln 1932 we commemorated the tercentenary of George VVashington. This was our first black and white book, color plates no longer being featured, and pen sketches coming to the fore. In 1933 our first informal 5111111101 was published. Our green and gold cloth covers were a new idea, but an informal arrangement of seniors in groups according to courses pursued, plus informal biographies. and our club stories with feature pictures of the activities represented real development in Annual building and made it possible for liay View to continue publishing Annuals during the depression when many of the more costly, formal books had to be discontinued in many schools. VX'ith the informal Armual came our informal corridor rallies, a creation in themselves. And so it is that Bay View has for seventeen years left her flllllllfll Hchaini' unbroken. The eighteenth is now before you. Indeed, a year book as an accurate mirror of school events and activities is a valuable history of the school year. The influence of such a publication is great. lt brings the school co-mmunity into closer touch with school life and its curriculum, and preserves for students those school days which adults de- clare can be lived but once. Annuals are no longer expected to be merely a hackneyed representation of senior pictures, faculty, officers, and classes, conforming strictly to certain set rules and standards. Instead of vying with each other in an effort to be as much alike as possible, Annuals today have become representative of the school of which they are a part, an interesting 'fmemory-booku for all EDITOR-TN-CHIEF concerned. Proof that our Amzual has an important place in Bay View High School life is shown by the record breaking number of subscriptions-over two thousand! The Annual Rally, held during the week of March 4 to 8, aroused the interest of the students, and they responded whole-heartedly to the call for subscriptions. Lookie, lookie, lookie, here comes a bookiey' was sung lustily every eighth hour during the rally week by the Girls' Glee Club, and echoed through the corridors, competing vigorously with School Days, school days, dear old golden rule days. As the singing became louder, curious students craned their necks as far as possible around home-room doors or eased themselves noiselessly into empty seats from which better to observe these amusing antics. Small groups of students, supposedly from way back thar , dressed in short dresses, hairbows, and whoopie socks, or overalls, suspenders, and flowing ties, and clutching rag-dolls, lolly- pops, or battered slates, skipped nervously into each room, recited their piecel' and departed. fmium O.'1'7lflllIf AND 'liHE SENIORS VVONI
