FOREWORD w 'E, THE class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty, take pride in presenting this Annual to you, for your perusal and en- joyment. The Editorial Staff has spent much time and thought on it’s several duties and we believe that you will find the book almost equally developed in every department. Our aim has been to make this book more than a High School Annual. We want it to be a sacred history for every member of the Ionia High School Alumni and, to that end, we have published the names of participants in the late World War who have at some time attended the Ionia High school. We have included, also, a list of all the graduating classes since the organization of our Alma Mater, showing the year in which they were graduated. In order to select the most suitable name for this book, we de- cided to hold a contest. A box was placed in the lower session room to receive suggested names and a committee was appointed to select the best from the group. A prize consisting of one copy of this Annual was to be given to the person whose suggested name was accepted, but because of the similar ones submitted it was im- possible to select the winner, and after much debate, in and out of class meetings, we decided that we could make no better selection than our class colors. Consequently, “Maize and Blue,’’ will be found on the cover of this Annual. We hope our readers may have as much enjoyment reading the “Maize and Blue” as the Senior class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty has had in preparing it for you.
