bt flBl'2Cli9 ECAUSE the war has been so important a factor in determining our preparation for future citizenship, a review of the most prominent events of the World War has been made the special feature of the 1919 Year Book. This idea is mainly carried out in the pages of cartoons and in the prose review. These cartoons, drawn by one of the school artists, are an entirely new feature and are the first realization of a long-felt want for something.of the kind. The prose review should be of historical value in addition to its excellent literary quality. The school section of the BRECKY is again introduced by Mr. Wilson's Foreword. Mr. Wilson's enforced absence, owing to a serious illness, has been keenly felt by all, and, that we may in some measure show our appreciation of all that he has done for us, we have dedicated the 1919 BRECKY to our much-loved Principal. The difiiculties attending the publication of this year's BRECKY have been many and various. Because of the greatly increased price of paper and labor, it was for a time deemed inadvisable to publish a Year Book of any kind whatsoever. One of the most serious obstacles was the hundred-percent increase in the cost of the photographs. The Senior classes, however, desirous of preserving intact the long line of Central publications, and of taking with them this record of their high-school life, pledged their financial support to a BRECKY costing not more than four dollars a copy. But even at the advanced cost some reduction in the number of pages in the first sections of the book was necessary in order to provide space for the greater number of biographies in this year's classes, without increasing the total number of pages. This was done, not by cutting out any important feature, but by condensing, by reducing the size of some of the half-tones, and by substituting photographs of senior company officers in place of company pictures, which are never very satisfactory owing to the limited space that can be allowed for them. This is the second time in the history of the school that the BRECKY has been printed in our Print Shop. For the 1917 BRECKY, however, only the type was set, the completed issue being made by a photographic process. Hence the 1919 BRECKY is the first Year Book that is really the output of our own establishment. We ought to be very proud of the fact that our shop is able to handle a book of this character. With this brief explanation of some of the conditions surrounding the publica- tion of the 1919 BRECKY, the staff submits the result of its labors, confident that the book will hold its own among the Central High School Year Books, and that the classes will feel that its new features and the quality of the workmanship more than counterbalance the changes made for economic reasons.
