EDITORIALS We, the class of 1910 of the Mason High School, present to the school and to the public another edition of the ANCHORA. It is our hope that it will encourage the ifople of Mason and adjacent country to take new interest in the educational work of our schools. If it shall do this we shall feel more than repaid for all the book has cost us in money, time and labor. We wish to take this space to thank Mr. Tiedgen, the faculty and the under classes for their hearty support in helping to make this class book a reality. Many thanks are due also to the business men for their liberal aid. We are under obligations to our artist, Clare Smith, for his pen sketches and to the Seniors for their help in issuing this book. We beg that the mistakes, which must necessarily occur in a book of this kind, will be charitably excused and overlooked by its readers. To those who are hit, we would like to say, that only a little fun is meant, and to those who are not, we beg them not to take offence. Two sad events occurred during our high school career, when Wendell Ellett was drowned on May 29, 1908, in spite of the brave efforts of his friends to save his life, and the death of Lucile Pratt, june 19, 1909, at Bellevue, where she had gone to obtain medical treatment. While we mourn the loss of our dear friends and class- mates, we know that they are-in the happy Home above, where we shall all be gathered at last. IVAH GODFREY, Editor.

SALUTATURY To the Board of Education, Instructors, and Students of the Mason Public Schools, Greeting. In this, the final and crowning effort of our last year in our beloved High School? we wish to show that we have been benefited by the time and labor which we have spent in the last four years. We wish to show our appreciation of the interest which the faculty have taken in us and the help which they have given us to sur- mount the hill of knowledge. To properly express this feeling is the purpose of the author of these greetings. It is with a feeling of regret that we leave this honored institution and yet it is one of gladness for we go to conquer new worlds. Some of us to college, others to the farm, the shop, or the store. Indeed it is even rumored that one or two of our number intend to enter into the matrimonial state of blessedness. However it may be, we are now in a position to sympathize with the feelings of the old grades when they graduated. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. When we were Freshes fyes, there was a time when we were green,- green with envyj, we eyed the Seniors with awe and wondered if we would ever be able to be like unto them, but the above quotation came to our rescue and accordingly we persevered. We hope that as we are departing from these halls of knowledge we may leave a few memories behind us that may not be altogether for- gotten, for we, too, wish to leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. It is our intention to achieve greatness outside of school as we have done in school, to reflect credit on our training and Alma Mater. We feel that this is a praiseworthy endeavor. Of our high school course we have built a good foundation for business or for a more advanced edu- cation. We realize that it is only by earnest striving that we can hope
