We will let the book speak for itselff lf it has good points the reader will discover them for himself If it has faults it will do no good to apolo- gize for them. We have a number of obligations to acknowledge. We wish first to thank our advertisers for their generous help, without which this book would be an impossibility. We have done our utmost to make the adver- tising space valuable, and have hoped thereby to make easier the work of next year's board. For the physical appearance ofthe book, the excellence of the printing, engraving, and binding, we gladly acknowledge our indebt- edness to Mr. Horace Carr, of The Printing Press, to The Caxton En- graving Company, and to the Forest City Bindery. Our motto has been, The best we can. We have tried to live up to it. 6

PREFACE N presenting this book to the school the editors wish to say a few words by way of introduction and explanation. In commencing their work the editors tried in the first place to decide what they should publish, whether it should be a class book, or an annual for the whole school. There are many arguments in favor of a small and modestly gotten-up book devoted entirely to the graduating class. But it is almost impossible to get advertising for a book of such limited circulation, and without advertising the book would be financially out of the question. To publish a class book pure and simple seemed unwise. Nor could we persuade ourselves to make an annual, introduce some of the distinctive features of the class book, confine its circulation to the Senior Class, and sell the advertising space on the ground that there are sixteen hundred students in our school. The advertising contracts of the '03 and '04 class books were boldly headed The Central High School Annual. Were we, then, to solicit advertising for a school annual and publish it in a class book? There could be but one answer-No. We believed that a class book which should be purely and openly a class book could not be finan- cially possible. So there was but one course left-to make our book avowedly a school annual, however imperfectly it might fulfill our intentions. With that off our minds we went to work. 5
