'4 TUE BY ROM.IS Freshman On August, 29. 1914. twenty-two Freshmen entered the Byron High School, but later in the year three dropped out, one hv one, leaving only nineteen to be tormented by the higher classes who seemed to think they owned the school. Their tormenting did not bother us in the least and when they found out we were not so green, they left us alone and the Freshmen class was found to be one of the best in all lines, especially athletics. The Freshmen class is very obedient and study very hard to get their lessons. Of course a few will flunk but this may be expected as we are not trying to break any records made by former Freshmen classes. The class is well represented in basket ball, track and tennis, and the boys in the higher classes have found out they will have to quit their “kidding” and get to work or the Freshmen class will beat them in everything. In a class meeting Robert Harrison was chosen President and Rachel Day hoff. Secretary. W. B. 19.

THE BY RON I AN 16 Editorial In this, the first volume of the “Byronian,” we do not claim to lie perfect in every respect, but we feel that we are pioneers and that our mistakes will be overlooked because of that. We also hope that the succeeding editors will profit by our mistakes, and publish a more elaborate and perfect annual. Our hope of the ‘'Byronian is that each succeeding Junior class will have the spirit to “edit” the “Byronian,” and that this “Byronian” will be the beginning of a long series of Byronians, that will be a monument to the class of 1916. The purpose of the “Byronian” is to inform the people that are interested in our school of our progress each year; to reflect the events and to portray the friends of our school days; and to show the public what work is carried on at our school. This “Byronian” is the achievement of our class, “The Juniors of 1916,” something that has never been attempted by a class in the Byron High School before, and although it may not be the best, we are proud of it and have tried our best to have you be proud of it. We now retire from the foreground and let Volume I of the “Byronian” speak for itself. At this opportunity, I wish to thank the teachers, assistant editor, artist and many other contributors who have helped us faithfully and in every way to make the “Byronian possible. Also the business men, whose financial aid has been no small part in the possibility of the “Byronian.”—Editor.
