edlcatlan Because this year is Forest ' s twenty-fifth anniver- sary, and because this, our Jubilee Forester, shows the school ' s progress since its beginning, the staff feels that there is one person only to whom this annual could be dedicated ... He has devoted thirty-five years of his life to education, twenty-three of which he has spent at Forest — growing with the school and helping it become outstanding for historical, patri- otic, and friendly activities ... He is the man whose personality, wisdom, and good nature have capti- vated the love, honor, and respect of every Forest student as well as others with whom he comes in contact ... He is our principal, Wylie A. Parker — to whom we affectionately dedicate this Silver Jubilee volume of the Forester.

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.
