be Qflnnzml qf IQ27 3,1535 ' THE preparation of our Annual we have learned many useful essons, not the least of which has been our experience. in securing ads. These adventures were fraught with tragedy at the time, and. only the most optimistic among us were able to see in them even a glimmer o humor. In retrospect, however, they seem invaluable for we have obtained an insight into fields entirely new. That directors of big concerns have a friendly as well as a business side to their nature has been a happy surprise. The success of our first venture has given us courage to aim at greater achievement. Our literary taste also has risen several degrees. The remembrance of that old, old rule, Express your thought in clear, simple language , has done much to correct our youthful penchant for what might savor of the highbrow in our themes. In the beginning we never doubted the possibility of a Thackeray or a Milton in our midst, but now we realize that genius is rare and mediocrity rampant. I know of a Senior who set out light-heartedly to write a poem for the Annual. Though during the day she walked with Shelley and communed with Brownin , night after night she struggled with vagrant words and limping ict which refused to be molded into flowing pentameters. Finally, one evening, long after the iron tongue of midnight had struck its doleful hour, she settled back contentedly in her armchair to read the finished product. Satis- fied that she had at last reached the heights, she wearily sought her long-neglected pillow. The next morning when the board of censors sat in judgment on her masterpiece, it was returned to her cruelly disfigured with black and blue pencil marks. The office of the staff, our old classroom, was a scene of con- tinued activity until the last scrap of copy was dispatched to the printer. All things considered, the making of our Annual has played an important part in our year's work, for it has put the finishing touches to the practical side of our education. The incidents of our school days related therein, and the pictured nooks and corners of the Grove, make our book a keepsake which will in future years prove a precious companion for our leisure hours.
