The Annual Board HE Annual Board is Tas every- m body knows without being Wuf i tOIdT the most important de- partment in the school, Nothing of any kind could possibly be done at any time without the knowledge of the Annual Board. Nothing happens but there 5 nhalf a score of councils, half a bushel of minutes, several sacks of official memoranda, and a family-vault full of ungrammatical writing on the part of the Board. This organization is the foremost to carry its shining influence throughout the Whole school. Through the tact with Which the members invariably seize all news, and through the genius with which the head of that department makes use of her material, the Board has risen to overitop all other departments. This office now goes on mechanically every day, keeping the records of school hap- penings, and racking and wrecking the brains of its members for some composition of merit. Everybody in every class in school. from little Aaron in the Kindergarten, to the staid senior quartette, is watched, and studied and discussed in the hope of finding some latent qualities of genius or of eccentricity, which will afford suf- ficient foundation for an Annual contribution. And everything from Gingersnapst' at recess t0 ttThe Romancers, is ttindiscriminately tucked up under the fools cap paperttof the Annual Board. And then those meetings! The room. strewn with papers, takes on a solemn silence as the members come stringing in, many rather sheepishly waving papers in the air that the ink may dry in time to hand in their delin- quent contributions.

Then therels the Art Editor and her staff, who are looking persistently for something to turn up that may give them new and unique ideas. Last of all there is the Snap-shot Com- mittee. At almost any time of the day you may see one of these members wandering around, kodak in hand, with a bewildered gaze, as though looking for something lost; or, you might find one of the more strenuous of this Committee, rushing headlong down the driveway after a much-longed-for subject. Perhaps, too, there is many a night, iust before the regular work is due, that will find a Mrs. Jellyby sitting in a nest of waste paper, drinking coffee, facing an African project ; or, what is more likely, one a. m. will find a Miss Jellyby, splattered with ink from head to toe, and biting the feather of her pen as she stares at the bunches of crumpled, blotted, useless papers before her.
