c PUJ iDLDNIAL »» A litstnru of tljr (Colonial E The Colonial, dating back eight years, lias had staffs of steadily increasing size and competence, formed solely for the purpose of giving to their school a year hook of which it can he duly proud. In 1923 the first staff was led by Ren wick Hurry, supervised by Miss Ratelle and Miss Beattie. As the work had steadily increased in 1924. it was necessary to have live advisers and a staff of sixteen, headed by Ira Hansen. •V Mr. (iolcly guided the staffs of the two succeeding years, 1925 and 1926, which were headed respectively by Fred Miller and Roger Whitman. Within these two issues was the history of the school for twenty-five years hack. Miss Mlinger and Miss Eugenia Miller were the dedicatees of these annuals. A marked advance was made by Sherwood Silliman and his staff in 1927. I his splendid book was in charge of Hilda Roberts, and dedicated to Miss Powell. The 1928 year hook had for its advisers Miss Roberts the first half of the year, and Miss Eastburn the second half. The annual was dedicated to Miss Grace S. Reed. Miss McDermott was the honorary dedicatee in 1928 of a most unique volume. This Colonial was guided by Miss Eastburn and edited by Duncan Ballantine. During this year it was voted to date the Colonial in honor of the graduating class, rather than to use the date of the junior class. James Hoyt led a staff in 1929 directed by Mrs. Lyla Davis. The book which followed the Greek style was dedicated to Mr. Joseph F. Fay. A most remarkable book in southern colonial style was the result of the efforts of the staff led by William Peters, and directed by Mrs. Lyla Davis. The honorary dedicatee of this Colonial was our principal, M r. Raymond Maure. I This year the staff is attempting to do the rather difficult feat of combinding the old and the new. In the quaintness of the forget-me-not. we see a repre- sentation of the past, we see loyalty to our companions, and memories of our school; in the modernistic treatment, we see a representation of our own day. we see the spirit of progress that looks into the future.
