Introductio!? jr presenting to the public this book, we wish to thank the staff of the Red and Black,” as the excellent publication presented by them has done much to lighten our work. Fol- lowing their example, the class of 1905 is giving to its friends and members a memento which we hope will live long in their memory. We have endeavored to make the follow- ing pages as interesting as possible; to make them contain all that would serve to recall to their readers the many pleasant hours spent in High School. In order to find a fitting name for the Senior annual, a contest was conducted among the scholars in general to enter names which should be voted on by the Board of Editors. A book was offered as prize, which was to be awarded to the one whose entree was chosen. As the name chosen was handed in by a member of the staff no prize was awarded. The name “The Rechauffe means rehashed, which is thoroughly suited to the idea of the book. Everything worth using has been added to the heap and a very respectable hash” has been made. We hope that the name will continue to be used, thus establishing the Senior annual as a school custom. The best literary talent in High School has contributed to our pages, and the essays and other articles have been carefully written with the sole object of pleasing our readers and raising the literary standard of our school. Every event of interest is well dealt with, the roasts and cuts being especially good. Our drawings arc far above the usual run of High School work, and our artists arc to be congratulated. The formation of a Dramatic Club, and the successful staging of the difficult play, “My Lord in Livery,” due to members of the class of 1905,has given us a new diversion which we have made the most of. The athletics have a very prominent part in the make-up of our book, and form one of our most interesting features, complete reviews of all teams, games, statistics, records and pictures being given. In our “roasts” no venom is shown. Our motto is: With charity for all and malice toward none,” and we have faithfully lived up to it. We trust to your generosity, and hope that Tub Rechauffe will meet with your entire approval, and that your criticisms will be tempered with charity. 5 Board of Editors.
