the opportunities they had during the period of preparation. Said one Cthen at Amherstj: Some may make a more brilliant record in some one thing-Latin or Greek or Science-but when it comes to 'all around work' none show better preparation than our Evanston boys, Not only from those who have gone into college life does the testimony come. Successful men and women in all the varied vocations of the men and women of the present day speak gracious words of the inspiration and the development that has come to them through the work done in our school. It is not so much what one does with his books as what he does with his life that proves the value of one's High School training. It is impossible to give a detailed history of the school. As said before much of it speaks for itself. The banners of the Athletic Association tell their own storyg the photographs that add to our knowledge of the world and its treasures tell of prizes won in State examinations, the Alumni Record Book relates the successes achieved by those who call E. T. H. S. their Alma Mater, and the influence of every pupil goes out and on in ever-widening circles. Evanston Township High School, may its record in the future' be even more glorious than it has been in the past, its aims higher, its work more wide-spread, and may all connected with it work ever for the self- same end. One in our faith, and in our longing To make the world within our reach, Somewhat the better for our livingg The gladder for our human speech. rl X , 1 ' !.,2--1 'ao aw., ' , fi Ypxrpxlyittal Wrap A .

Of the men, four served but a single yearg two entered other branches of professional life and some of the present staif are preparing to do likewise. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Westgate dropped High School teaching for college work. Mr. Johnson was our Erst real teacher in Science, taking charge of that department in 1886 when it was in a very feeble infancy. By his enthusiasm and his untiring energy, he produced a vigorous growth in that department and left it in 1891 i11 good working condition and enriched with the beginnings of several valuable collections. His specialty was microscopical Botany and his articles were published widely in this country and in Europe. From us he went to Harvard for Special study, then accepted a position at Ann Arbor. He was strong in mind and will, full of hopes and plans for the advancement of his chosen line of work, but God's plan was not as his and ours. The Faculty of the present year numbers twenty-one, seven men and fourteen women, and our total enrollment for the year is 580. Of these, Seventy-five belonged to New Trier and on the opening of their new Town- Ship School only fifteen of that number remained with us. A bit of retrospect is a good thing sometimesg count back by decades and see how great the change has been. The total enrollment for each tenth year is not at hand, but the number of teachers is, and an increase in the number of teachers is merely the result of an increased number of pupils.

The last two decades show as great changes in the housing and equip- ment as in the number of the pupils. It has required great. effort and close management, but Evanston may well be proud of her school buildings. It is said that few are finer and better adapted to their purpose. Gladly we here pay tribute to those who without money and without Price so faithfully serve as the representatives of the people, the guardians Of the schools. The largest class yet graduated from E. T. H. S. was iifty-four, in 1393, but the present Senior Class enrolls a much larger number, and hopes to have the credit of being the largest class the school has ever known. The total number of graduates is,432, of whom I54 were boys, an unusually large proportion. Of these graduates 29 per cent. have entered twenty- four different colleges directly. There they learn to appreciate more fully .V I3
