Selfishnesses narrow-mindedness in the extreme sense. Who cares for a narrow-minded man? The Chinese tried to live for self alone, and to shut their doors against foreigners and foreign improvements. It took a long time for them to learn how disadvantageous it was for them to try to live independent of other nations. Now they attempt to copy other nations in the minutest detail, and they are ready to adopt any custom for the better- ment of their country. So we, as individuals, cannot live independent of those about us. It is for us to decide whether we are a help or a hindrance to others. May we always be a help to those about us, even if it is only in little things, for only in that way is it possible for us to be happy and for our country to have peace. We were sorry to lose Miss Eastman, who only this year became a mem- ber of the M. H. S. Faculty. On account of ill health she was obliged to resign at the end of the first semester. She will rest until spring, when it is whispered that a wedding will take place. We wish her much happi- ness and improved health. Remember this is the first attempt of the members of the Staff to put out an annual or a paper of any kind. This jingle gives you the Stafl: ' s feelings on the matter: We hope you like this book, We ' ve done the best we could. And when you take a look. Please hunt out all the good. We ' ve tried to slam no one: We ' ve tried to say the best. But now the work is done. We hope it stands your test: We thank you students all. For giving us support: For things both great and small: For things of any sort. We thank you teachers, too. Since many, many a time We ' ve been excused by you, To write our prose and rhyme. School was hardly well started when Miss Wiltsie left us for a position in Cleveland. She came here three years ago and during that time has been a favorite with all the students. She has always helped the Annual Staff, and has been active in all social functions of the High School. To say that she is missed hardly expresses the deep regret of the students when she went away. However we hope she may have great success in her new position and yet not entirely forget her many friends in the Mansfield High School - 13 —

Ill DOROTHY M. WILKINSON In 1912, four years ago, Freshmen small were we; The Sophomores teased and jeered us so, ' Twas pitiful to see. We passed the year, tho, safe and sound, And then we had our turn; As Shphomores, dignified, profound, We too made Freshies squirm. Our Junior year we ' ll not forget — It was a round of joy; Nothing occured to bring regret, Or anyone annoy. And now our Senior year has come, Commencement is in view; So, wishing you much joy and fun, We bid you all adieu. - 15 -
