■A ' ( ' io X THE year nineteen hundred and nineteen marks the adoption of the fascinating name, AeoHan, for Garrett High School ' s Year Book. Annuals have appeared at each graduation for many years, but each class christened its book according to its own taste or theme until 1919. Aeolian, a harp of early Greek mythological origin, is an appropriate name for our book as it symbolizes the spirit of harmony and co- operation which prevails throughout our school. Demosthenes, a very able Grecian orator, must have been very like our faculty. The Wrestler infers that it will not be long until each member of our class will be wrestling with the problems of the world in one way or another. The Juniors — that ' s the year during which all of us are love-sick, bless our hearts — with covered eyes shoot the darts of desire as did Cupid. But alas! Poor Narcissus, the un- fortunate youth who so loved himself that he drowned as he tried to embrace his own image. The vain Sophomores need warning. The Praying I Boy needs no explanation. If you have sufficient faith, Freshies, you ' ll be big, grown-up. Seniors some day. The discus thrower was the athletic hero of Grecian myths and is symboHc of our activities. As we revert to this period of constructive history, we find that clocks hadn ' t found their consciences yet and a sun dial was used in their stead. We read our calendar well, like watching the sun dial, the passing of each day into another. The Muse of Comedy and Burlesque illustrates the joke section. That person was just another God — he must have been funny! Ancient Greece was a land of culture and refinement. The theme of our an- nual would not be complete without paying tribute to the Thinker, the well known figure who symbolizes these characteristics. The efforts of our most thoughtful moments cannot be compared to the cultural attainments of Ancient Greece, but we have done our best and we still have time to grow by thinking.
