Q FoREwoRD THE editors of this book, which is published as a record of events of the High School life of the Class of 1911, and therefore termed a Class Memory, desire to express their appreciation for the kind assist- ance given them by many Seniors in obtaining records, writing articles, etc., and for criticism of the manu- script by members of the Faculty. It is hoped that the following pages will awaken, in the mind of the reader, many pleasant thoughts of the by-gone days, and, if so, the Editors will feel amply rewarded for their efforts.
