Z Foreword ' 559,653 , N this, the first annual to be published in janesville's New High V ' School, we, the staff, have aimed to make the 1924 Phoenix a ,ir true representation of our high school life: with this in view ,VO we have sought to present those things which will recall to rf W -wig' W SE? I, Fw X5 -ax' A your minds the pleasant memories of your high school days and which will help you to renew friendships which were form- ed in the class room and busy corridors of our beautiful new building. Because material from every department in school and from the alumni has been brought together and arranged in a manner to make the book the col- laborated result of our best efforts, we believe that this number of the Phoenix with the variety and range of its contents, will be of unusual interest to the stu- dent body and Alumnif In this issue of our annual the two new features which have been included are the School and City and the Alumni sections. The former contains pic- tures and pen sketches of historic and well-known spots in and about Janesville, the latter contains snaps, cartoons, and interesting news about our worthy pre- decessors. Some of them have demonstrated their loyalty and interest by send- ingus letters hlled with vivid accounts of their present life and happy reminis- cences of former school days. As you turn these pages you will discover that running parallel to the theme of change and progress expressed throughout the art work in the divisional pages is an appreciation for those principles in life which remain stable, un- touched by the complexities of modern social systems. We have tried to pre- serve the traditions of our school as well as to interpret for you our part in class room and extra-curricular activities, with the hope that we may not only cherish worthy precedents but that we may be able to contribute our part to them. XVe feel a great debt of gratitude is due to the business men and to the- janesville citizens. They have placed their faith and hopes in us and they have given us this structure, such as few students have in which to work and study. Here we have been able to form and strengthen friendships, and most of all to develop the characteristics of American citizens: may this book express in some measure the appreciation we feel due to our parents, teachers, and friends.
