Introductory Gentle Readers: The work which we contemplated with so much awe a few months .ago is completed, and we submit to your judgment the result of our labors, the fourth volume of the High School Annual. With fear and trembling do we present it, hoping that you will look with favor upon its few merits, and with charity upon its many defects. In this work we have endeavored to picture accurately to you the school as a whole, and the class of ’03, with its character and doings, as a part. We have made it our object to interest and amuse you, even at our own exj ense. Therefore, if 3 011 see aii3 thing that looks like vanity (!), please remember that no seniors are such fools in that respect as the3 appear. One who has never ‘'hustled ads,” who has never read proof, who has never wrestled with the arrangement of “cop3 ,” who has never braved the printer or the dry goods man in his den, can not realize how arduous was the task of publishing this work. If, however, 3 011 are satisfied — if this book gives strangers an accurate idea of the class of ’1)3 — if to members of the class it brings back at some future time the days we spent together at the old high”—it has accomplished the purpose for which it was published, we are more than repaid for our labors. If 3 ou are dissatisfied, we are sorry. We shall be glad to have any of our readers call to express their opinions of this work. It will be only fair to say, however, that we shall lie “out” all next week, from G A. M. to 12 P. M., daily. If 3 011 have anything important to communicate, typewrite (nothing else will be read), seal your paper, address it to us, and file it in the waste-basket in the principal’s office. Whatever else we may have done, for one thing, at least, we deserve commendation: in all this work there is not one joke about going to Canada with the proceeds of the publication. Whatever is your judgment on this book, whether 3 011 think it too serious, or whether 3 011 judge it frivolous —we know that there will lie some of each class—pray consider that we have done our best, and that neither man nor woman can do more. Therefore, if you cannot approve, at least do not condemn the work of THE EDITORS.
