The 1909 Cardinal was still larger than the 1908. It was the first to contain large class pictures and personals. Altho the severe type in this volume is rather monotonous and the material very frivolous, it has many excellent cuts and engravings, and makes a good memento of the senior class of 1909. Mr. Cady, now one of our instructors, was editor of the 1910 Cardinal. Cream tinted paper and brown ink were used in this book; this rendered it very artistic in combination with the dark brown linen cover, but the quality of the engravings suffered thereby. The 1910 class was the first to use paid advertisements as a means of covering part of its expenses. The 1911 and 1912 Cardinals were both very good, altho somewhat smaller in size than their predecessors. These both had board covers the same as those of the former annuals, with the exception of the 1910 Cardinal. The 1913 annual is interesting because of its joint dedication to Miss Shillock anti Miss Jeter. Its makeup was excellent, having a uniform border for all of the pages. The 1913 Cardinal board changed the policy of the Cardinal; it was no longer an all-senior book, but everybody’s Cardinal. The 1914 Cardinal was very small, and most readers thought it very poor, altho it hail some excellent features. We all remember the 1915 Cardinal because of its radical change in form. The other Cardinals were all of the regular folio shape, but the 1915 board adopted the oblong form, opening from the shorter side. The cover was dark brown with gold design. The paper was cream with brown ink; consequently the engravings were of a poorer quality. There is no doubt of the excellence of the 1915 Cardinal; it was well-proportioned and interesting to all. You now have before you the 1916 Cardinal. We have studied the labors of the former classes in an effort to profit by their experiences and mistakes. We have endeavored to give to the school the best Cardinal yet. We ask you to consider our work in the compiling of this volume, and to have sympathy with our difficulties, and be not too harsh in judging the Cardinal of 1916. Ruth Wagoner. I 10)
