And the studies? Must we forget to mention how proliciently all have labored? But this is an introduction to the Annual, and not to the school. O, yes! As for this Annual, we wish to express our thanks to all for having taken so active an interest in its welfareg Miss Adams and Mr. Fiudley. for so kindly condescending to wade through the MS.g Mr. Wood, for furnishing us with excellent views of school-rooms, and so forthg and we wish to express the keen regret and sorrow which the whole school feels in being, deprived of the presence of Mr. Truesdale, through illnessg but then, if present, he would have helped to read MS. Ah, well-may hc appreciate his good fortune! And now we give the first East High School Annual into the hands of the faithful, as it stands-on its merits or defectsg with the hope that its faults may be excused ina publication so youngg in the belief that the succeeding years will bring forth Annuals increasing in beauty and in valueg and with heartiest greetings to all into whose hands it may come. .

Nijir' Introduction. A preface is said to be for apology, perhaps it is proper for the Editorial Board of this, the first East High School Annual, to begin with apology, but however much we are inspired by modesty and self-criticism to take such a course, its adoption is lost in the satisfaction felt by all in the progress of the school as a whole. Coming into this most excellently equipped building at so recent a date as Monday, November the twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred, it is with the usual-yet, therefore, none the less sincere and well-merited- pardon- able pride that we look back over the events and activities of the past school year. That most famous Sibley Branch had been our stamping ground, and the scene of much'inconvenience. This inconvenience, in view of the equip- ments and facilities which we now enjoy in our school, made most apt our Principals quotation from Wfill Carleton: Toappreriale heaven we!l, e!c. It might naturally have been expected that confusion of change, and unsettled arrangements would upset the even tenor of our way. But such was not the case. Advancement in scholarship, social relations, and athletics have proved how well all have planned, and how commendably all have cooperated. ' VVe point-again with Upardonable priden-to the fact that, although we have not scores of secret fraternities, and such exclusive or partial organizations, there have been formed during our brief stay here four lite- rary societies, all in the most Hourishing and beneficial condition. Although not represented upon the foot-ball field last fall, because of the unsettled condition of things Cbut more especially because of the weak and emaciated condition of the boys by reason of attendance at Sibley Branchnj, we have, nevertheless, this season, a baseball team which, at the time of going to press, promises to be one of the finest of local organiza- tions. Of more importance than all the other events of the year is the organiza- tion of the East High School City Cwhose plan and workings are ex- plained elsewherej, through our principal's earnest planning and careful execution.
