PREFACE It has been said, and truly. “Thcro Is nothing new under the sun.” Although a thing may be new in one community, yet somewhere it has been known and tried before, or at least different phases of it in various com- munities. which may be combined In a novel way by an original thinker. It has long been the custom In large schools and colleges to edit at the close of the school year a book relating to the important events of the past year. These books vary In Interest, for the larger the school the more material for working up a more interesting book, the more money and the greater experience. In the past years pupils of the El Reno High School have never felt that the school had sufficient material or a large enough enrollment to assure the success of such an undertaking, nor had they the necessary Incentive in the person of a teacher sufficiently Interested. This fall, at the suggestion of the principal, the Juniors decided to establish a precedent for their successors, something to employ their time and attention. Accordingly the staff was elected and went to work. Having had no predecessors, in consequence they had all the problems to face that pioneers In any line have. Therefore the staff begs you to be very lenient, for it offers you Its best effort and hopefully prophesies that in years to come “The Blue and White” of E. H. S. will surpass any High School paper In the State.
