O ieAAM) Twenty-five fruitful years are behind us: Years that have taken away the smell of fresh paint and the glow of new desks, put slight cracks in the plaster, placed a host of precious memories in the hearts of five thousand graduates, and have made a history of achievements and good times to give present students a sense of values that will last as long as the school itself . . . Twenty-five years are gone. We will see them again only in ever-dimming mem- ories, but here we give you a year-by-year history of Forest and have reproduced pages from the first Foresters and the cover of every Forester from 1917 through 1941 to re-enforce those memories . . . Now let us look to the Forest that is today, to the Forest which we have tried to reproduce. The Forest of work and play, struggles, fail- ures, victories, friendships, accomplish- ments, and follies. Here it is — a picture of your Forest colored by memories of the past and filled with expectations of the future.

Comstock, the annual was the climax of a year of beginnings. Eight clubs were organized, athletic teams were formed, and on February 16, 1917, the school held open house to announce its formal opening to the public. Edited by Charles Gates, this issue of ' 1 7 was dedicated to E. B. Cauthorn in respect- ful recognition of the success of his efforts to set a high standard of excellency in Forest Ave- nue High School during its first year. K iilkst i ' ( rACULTY
