INTRODUCTION I have been requested by the student committee to write the introduction to our first Annual issued by the class of 1911. I respond with pleasure and with full heart congratulate this class upon the interesting content as well as the dignity and good taste displayed in its production, and the skill with which the Class in Printing have done their work. I have watched with keen interest the energy and loyalty displayed in preparing this book. I appreciate the broad minded effort to make it truly representative of our larger interests as well as a class monument. I feel that in both aims they have been successful and I trust in its way this annual, issued by a class that has had a continuous existence of four years in the Gary High School, may be a means of drawing closer the ties between school and patrons and a better understanding of the school, its aims and many-sided activities. The people have no other college than the High School. In no other way, save in the Public High School can those of moderate means give to their children a needed education to enable them to stand on an equal footing with their fellows. THERE MUST BE NO EDUCATIONAL ARISTOCRACY IN A REAL DEMOC¬ RACY. Therefore the High School stands as the privileged public thoroughfare along which rich and poor, high and low, may pass to the goal of self respect, power, contentment and success. I believe the class are building larger than they know. I believe that even now while the Gary High School is still in its infancy it is exerting a wide spread influence for upright, healthy, vigorous manhood and womanhood. I feel assured that when our aims and ideals and the good things we do (and not merely the things open to criticism) are more widely known and a greater public interest is aroused, our progress will be greater and the schools efficiency be increased fourfold. The future City of Gary will draw its life blood from the present Schools. . . May this book, the first of its kind from our school, receive a most cordial welcome and stimulate and foster a wealth of good will toward this Class and School. Faithfully, your principal, Principal’s Office, Emerson School, May, 1911 .
