Sifglua FOREW ORD ln presenting to Glendale Union High School this issue of the Stylus the Class of 1923 has endeavored to leave behind it a record, accurate in all details, of every department and every activity connected with the development of the school during the past year. A record that will be of vital interest to every student and one that will stand as a fitting memorial to the graduating class. ln it we have tried to express our appreciation for the uGrand Old Schooli' and of the pleasures we have experienced within its portals. The result of this endeavor you have before you in,this volume. Since the first Stylus was published in 1913 each year has brought changes and improvements until in recent years Glendale has been able to produce an annual that compares favorably with that of any school in Southern California. The past year has been filled with activity and it was found necessary to greatly increase the size of the volume in order that every event be included. Along with this increase in quantity the staff has endeavored to produce a proportionate increase in quality throughout. We have stressed no one feature in the book but have tried to make every de- partment a feature complete in itself and the entire volume one that would interest any reader who might chance to glance through the book as well as the student of G. U. H. S. The increase in size has been distributed throughout the book being enlarged by the addition of one or two pages. The greatest increase, however, comes in the sporting section. We believe that athletics is the most important factor in keeping up school spirit and have therefore given a great deal of additional space to that department,.along with many more pictures. Several radical changes in the style and arrangement have been made in an attempt to turn out a book that would be somewhat different from those which have preceded it. We feel that this year some novel effects have been produced in the art work by carrying out the block-print idea in all of the title pages and headings, and we wish to express our appreciation for untiring efforts of the art department and Miss Abbott, art critic. We are also greatly indebted to lVlr. Baker, auditor, and lVliss Freeman, literary critic, for their assistance in the publishing of this volume. The two factors that make the Stylus possible are the sale of the books them- selves and the advertising. The advance ticket sale this year was very gratifying, as about eight hundred volumes had been sold by the middle of March. The mer chants of Glendale were very liberal with their advertising and the advertising man ager had very little difficulty in signing up the necessary contracts. The editor wishes to thank the students for their co-operation during the ticket saleg the mer- chants for their friendship and assistance in getting the copy to the printer on time, Payr' Tm
