It was greatlv dne to tlieii ' in- .sjiiring speeche.s, both on edneational affairs and I he war th-.it the second or in- tangible impression arose. For im|iei-cep)il l - at first, yet iiDne the less snrel -, the .spirit of the student body grew and hroidened ami nowhere was there liner jiatriotism than in our High School. Two of onr teachers of this year. Mr. Rein- hart and Mr. Etter and many of the alumni are in the ser ice of the F. S. Though they are mentioned later in this book yet here we take the opportunity to greet them and express our pride in them. [Many pupils this year have discontinued their High School conrs ' to accept ])ositions. ' J ' lie Senioi ' class has probabl - fared the worst and we were extrt ' uiel.v sorry to lose our classmates of three years. All those Seniors attending school at the time the Senior |)ictures were sent to the engraving house have their ])ietHres in this Annual. Those who were not in school at that time. ha e not. Fpon consideration this was deemed wise and just. This year has seemed to be one of general u|)hea al foi- teachers as well as .scholars. Five new teachers were added to the Faculty at the beginning of school : j Ir. Reinhart, Mr. Kochheiser. Miss Souder. Miss Bell Moore and Miss Blackford, while the five teach(M-s who left our Higli School were Mr. Kaiser. Mr. Lloyd, Miss Brightman. Miss Schmidt and Miss Connett. Needless to say we were as sorry to lose the latter as we were haij])y to greet the former. Throughout the course of the school yea i ' five teachers have left : Mr. Reinhart, Miss Bedger, Mr. Carmine, Mr. Fatton and Mr. Daxis. onr principal. Their places were respedti ' ely taken by Miss Reinhart, Miss Schulthess. Mr. Ftter, Mr. Foster and Mr. Frank Whitehouse. Shortly before the Annaul went to i)ress ] Jr. Ftter also left to go to eanip. Al- — 9 —

The invitations were characterized by their marked simplicity which was in keeuiiiu ' with the times. The co ' er for the Annual was (diosen — Old Blue and White. In view of the ])resent color scheme, the name adojited last year The Red and hite was not used. The colors were chosen in regard to the fact that e.irly in our Iliiih School coui ' sc these eoloi ' s were selected for o!ir class colors. J- Tlie tiradiuij, ' system was ehaniicd this ye.ir ami the niL tho.l used ectcmix ' ely in colleges and uni ' ersilies was aflojjted.

Idiis is the eleventh successive year that th. ' S.-aior cla ; has pulilished the . miual. The inca ' casiiig ui-eatness of the High School and the changing ' conditions lia ( ' largely molded the form of this liook. The purjtosc of the ])reient staff has been to ])resent sidiool life in all its phrases, the innci ' working-; of the student life — its joys and sorrows, diaidgtaies and pleasures. ' I ' liis bo:ik is the result of many lioui ' s of earnest thought .iiid sincere effort — perhaps many more than you, gentle readei ' , imagine. It is the standard l)y which our High School is judgeil ami we ha ' e done our best to (de ale it. Remember — to Hii 1 faidt is easy — to do better, difhcult. ; ]ay each succeeding Annual be better than this, May each recall the pleasant memories of your student days an 1 inspire yoa, as it his us. with a newer and dee];er lo c f(jr oui ' own I.
