GREETING I am the current Annual, and to my readers I wish to speak a tide of words in the way that I am wont to greet. To all who eagerly paid the price to get my printed Senior advice, I now offer my humble thanks, and I’ll try to repay with the best of pranks. The character of an Annual you all must know, but I am different—you’ll find me so. From cover to cover I’m different, and also better you’ll find, than many other An¬ nuals of a varied kind. Come! quickly turn my printed pages and view my character in it’s many stages. You’ll find all the things you’ve been waiting for, from jolly joke to football score. You will live over again the many scenes, that I call to mind in printed dreams. You will see again the football line and hear the thrilling cry of “Time”. Live thru these scenes and when you’re thru, just think of the Annual which revived them for you. So since time is fast and always fleeting, receive these hurried lines as a timely greeting. —Floyd Wattles, ’17. Four

J. E. GILROY, A. B. When the 1917 Annual board decided to dedicate this volume to Mr. John E. Gilroy, we knew we had the support not only of the entire school, but also Gary, as a whole. “Jack” has done more than produce winning athletes in Gary. By his own example he has instilled in every boy and girl in Gary a desire for clean, healthy recreation. Whenever he got behind a project whether social, athletic or community, it was sure to go thru with colors flying. The fact that Jack is loved by all the Gary children be¬ speaks his worth far more forcibly than any thing we might say in his behalf. Next year Duluth, Minn., will receive into their ranks a leader, an orator, an athlete, a gentleman. Five
