AN APPEAL T0 THE READER You see on this page a picture of the Counselor staff. Perhaps they look like a happy and contented set of mortals-or perhaps, as if they thought they were above the average senior class of a high school. But ah! appearances in this case would be sadly deceiving. You see here a persecuted, down-trodden, worn-out classg the early settlers of our glorious land of the free could not boast of more patient, or painful struggling than we. Besides the ordinary strain of four years high school course, and the monthly issue of the Counselia, we have undertaken the publication of 'an annual, a work that would cause stouter hearts than ours to quail. The compiling and publishing of an animal is an education in itself. Outr editor-in-chief is no longer a brunette, for her hair is turning to a silvery gray color. ln no time, she' might be compelled to advertise for hair tonics. The advertising editors report that they have worn out two pairs of slippers traversing the streets of -the business district of Chicago. But our humorists have made the alarming statement that they feared of being demented before they finished the jokesg and they certainly will lose the last inch of their mental property, respected reader, if you don't laugh at the jokes. So, in your char- ity, do at least smile at them. Our sights and mental abilities a-re completely ex- hausted: the prophetess exchanged the ambitions of the girls when rewriting her reports. The result was a great commotion and opposition, almost ending in a book storm at the perplexed sorceress. Now, occasions like these are very nerve rack- ing, and indeed, medical men have pronounced them extremely injurious to the nerv- ous system. We appea-l to you, therefore, for sympathy, and after carefully perusing our honest statements, you surely cannot refuse it. However, we do not regret the time and labor we have given to our annual, for whatever is worth having is worth working for, -and we recall the words of the poet: Nothing .is useless, or low, Each thing in its place is best, And what S00lllS but idle, show, Strengthens and supports the rest. lf The Counselor has given you an insight to our school life, and has better acquainted you with the pure atmosphere in which we dwell-where progress in virtue and intellect keep pace-we shall feel that we have not failed in the publica- tion of our little crown The Counselorf' Anna Wych, '31. 4'- SQSYA' HI . - Y' 4 ' K 1 6 x ,J .,, tg, 'O qs :Z - f - I : i 2 W1 11 ---f-W f---'H - - f W . , ' ,-- V tl ---'ue-:fuzz-2- -''v-1 '::r '-''-- -H--'- -122''--'-'--:':'Lt.1wgwr-lf:-fH.
