Ein Elppreciation THE Student Body Committee of the Maple Avenue High School having in charge the publication of this Annual, desires, on behalf of the school, to express full appreciation for the good will and co-operation so freely given by individuals, organizations and business firms. Leaders in thought and education, representatives of employers, business associations and trades people, prominent officials and busi- ness men-all intensely busy people-have taken the time to notice our work and contribute kindly messages of approval and encourage- ment and valuable treatises on the subjects in which this school specializes. Associations of employers and of labor and the shops and busi- ness institutions whose announcements and cards appear in this Annual, have been generous with their patronage, as have those officials and prominent citizens whose signatures of endorsement appear. These we will remember gratefully for it is only through their co-operation that it has been possible for us to complete this publica- tion. If, through the publication of this little book, a more lively interest is aroused in the campaign for the elimination of inefficiency and for greater skill and competency in the Trades and Vocations, we shall feel that our efforts have not been in vain. ,-,-N.-.-,-,-.-,i ??!i------wvv--www Nwvw Page One-hundred nine

IN CONCLUSION. With, perhaps, certain misgivings but a large measure of confidence and satisfaction withal, we now approach the comple- tion of our book. One regret is that, owing to limitations of time and space, We have not been able to mention in detail the names and acts of all our numerous friends whose kindly helpfulness has been a great aid and encouragement. The aim has been, however, to give as broad and thorough a treatment of the subject in hand as the allotted space would permit and thus make the work as constructively educational as possible and we know that our friends and benefactors will be satisfied if good results are obtained and will take for granted, our appreciation. It has been a pleasure to Work with the associate editors and the student body committee and the invaluable assistance of the principal and the helpful interest shown by the faculty, have helped to make the work easier. The superintendent of schools, Mrs. Dorsey, and the assis- tant to the superintendent, Mr. Findlay, have been exceedingly gracious and kind and the entire school administration -and board of education have shown a most friendly attitude. A Word About Our Advertisers. It is not amiss to explain here and now that the student body of this school has no source of revenue and the publication of this Annual was undertaken without funds. Consequently, we had to depend on the sale of space in the advertising columns for the necessary money. It was not deemed advisable to employ regular advertising solicitors and those connected with the school are too busily occupied to devote time to this phase of the Work. However, the generous patronage so freely given by those whom we found time to call upon is very gratifying. If we are not to be charged with the base sin of ingratitude and with being lacking in the proper spirit of appreciation and co operation our people will make sure to carefully peruse the advertising herein displayed and give their patronage to those who have co operated with us May we ask our friends to do the same?
