X ., if ED1ToR's FoREwoRD Fellow Students, Faculty, and Patrons of Beverly High: The purpose of a high school annual is to give a graphic account of the events and activities of the year. It records by photos, illustrations, and written descriptions things which may be looked upon in future years with interest and pleasure when we revere the memories of our high school days. We have tried to feature in The Watchtower' the individual pic' tures of the members of all classes, giving special attention to the Sen' iors, to lend a more personal aspect to the book. The theme for The Watchtower of 1929 is unique, and we hope you will agree with us that it is appropriate for the second edition of this book. To the best of our knowledge, the quotation from The Exhor- tation to the Dawn, Today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope, has never before been used as a theme for an annual. In carrying out the theme, we have used as our main thought, TodayfWellfLived. In the art work, we have turned to that of the people of India, where the poem The Exhovtation to the Dawn, origif nated It is with these ideas in mind that we have published the second edition of The Watchtower. We sincerely hope that we have sucf ceeded in our tasks, and that we have lived up to the standards and ideals established by the 1928 staff, who, though pioneers, succeeded in creating a prizefwinning volume. We also hold as our cherished am' bition to have established some features in our publication which will be handed down as traditions to be followed in future years. Very truly, CHARLES CHURCH, Boys' Editor of The Watclatower. 'w ':',,. f A 'Q are f f t

FOREWORD A school Annual is a memento-Aa sort of picture to keep memories alive-tofmorf row's reminder of yesterday. Surely, then, this is no place for advice. It would seem more ftting to write, here, something that in the light of passing years may still be read with curiosity if not interest. There is an old Chinese proverb to the effect that Advice is valueless until Time proves it a Prophecyf, Here, then, is our message to all you young people whose faces are agleam with hope and ambition, your souls untried by vicissitude, your lives still your own to do with what you will. We prophesy, That-- those of you who believe in luck, will never learn to believe enough in anything else to insure success ..... those with the most courage may take the most beatings, but will certainly win the biggest battles ..... those of you who can find consolation for defeat in the simple knowledge of being in the right, will never know unhappiness ..... those of you who make money a god, will get money-and nothing else . .
