Editorial Gentle Reader, please handle this volume with care. To you it may seem like a primer, but to those who have made it—well, it is as huge a work as the dictionary. We fully realize now why Noah Webster fainted at the completion of liis task, and we think that our lunik is even better than Noah’s because its plot is a trifle more £ 1 connected.” The editorial staff has had its troubles. At the beginning of the year the Business Manager and his assistants determined the size, shape and price of the ads, organized forces and started work at once. As soon as the other duties had been assigned, everyone “got busy 1 The snap-shot editor snapped every- one lie could catch; the literary editor read stories and sonnets; the organizations were written up; data was kept for the calendar, and subscriptions were taken. The editor undoubtedly seemed mad to everyone who saw her rushing about dis- tractedly, Certain individuals avoided her if they could but if she was luekv % SB enough to catch one you could hear her say, “Gladys have you finished those Society notes yet? T must have them,+ ? etc,, etc. The victim usually squirmed and turned pale for she nearly always answered like this, “No, I haven’t had a minute’s time, T will have them in hv tomorrow, anyway.1T ■B “ »1 But it would be hard to find a better staff of helpers than these same people have proved to be. We have all done our best and we pray that you will notice only the good qualities of this Annual; Seniordom Pour years ago there c ame into this school Some simple little freshmen, chewing gum, Unmindful of life’s cares content with fun, Not heeding frowning teachers or their rule, Down each unwilling, stubborn little1 mule Was crammed Math.. Latin, English and for fun A touch of Science: now the work’s most done. For we ’re the pride and joy of all the school SENIORS ! The noble sound of that one word Rewards our years of toil and makes ns sigh. “What a relief to be so nearly through,M But then this thought, as if a flaming sword, Rends wide our hopes and castles in the sky. “Tomorrow we’ll be freshmen in the ‘L Vf R,h ’16.

G. A. Ketcham. The Faculty Knowing that a teacher's influence remains throughout our lives, shaping our character, our deeds and giving direction to our future occupations, the class of 1916 cannot estimate the good you have done, nor arc we able to give you the thanks due to you. At this time we cannot thank you. Nor will we try. But in vears to come we will have manv successes mixed with failures and a ft we expect to come out triumphantly in the end. Looking hack we will be able to see the good you have done us and just what a prominent part you have played in our history; the making of our lives and the establishing of our well being, morally, physically and mentally. A glance over the past year will show the truth of this statement. You have done all a teacher should do and all that a student should expect of you. Through your guidance we have become Seniors and have graduated. We realize more and more that we have the best corps of teachers in the northwest and that nowhere in the Union is there a more conscientious, school-spirited group of persons Ilian the twenty-two that make up our faculty. “It will uoon. Yi arc in dutv hound to follow vnur teachings, realize vour «■ • ■ expectations of us and follow your ideals through our lives. These few words express onr thoughts concerning the ones who have given ns ideals to work for. and we cannot attempt any thanks for what good you have done us. Twenty years hence we will realize what you have accomplished in your patient workings with us and then we will silently Imt fervently give thanks to those who have shaped the trend of onr lives. Some of us may not see you again, bnt we will always have a cheerful remembrance for Our Faculty.
