EAEEILDTHIAN EDITORIAL As a Freshman enters M. H. S. for the first time he is bewildered by the great number of class rooms, the changing of classes, the many teachers and the multitude of upper class men from whom he apparently receives no sym- pathy or recognition. He is handed a sheet of paper with the studies all care- fully grouped and classified and he feels a great responsibility in choosing the studies that he thinks will be most benehcial to him. As he looks forward he thinks what a relief it will be to be called a Senior and know that one's work is nearly finished. But when the time arrives that he has earned the right to be called a dignified Seniorg instead of being thru as he had anticipated he feels for a moment almost dismayed when he realizes that he is approaching another still more important step into the unknown, and there is no one to plan and outline his work but himself. But as a whole there is a great deal of satis- faction and pleasure in being a Senior even if there is much work and respon- sibility connected with it. The Seniors for the most part take the leading hand in all club activities and not the least of these honors is the compiling and publishing of our High Schopl Annual. It is not an easy task by any means. as it means hard work and perseverance. But our chief asset in getting this book together has been a good Organization and if this annual is all that we intend it should be it was accomplished because we had an organization that existed for only one purpose, 'fSuccess. The annual board was increased by two members this year, making the total number eleven. Each member was voted on by the Senior class as being particularly qualified to hll their suggested office. No member of the board deserves special mention because all worked to the limit and tried to do their best. In many cases the advice of the two faculty advisors was sought. Their previous experience on the board made their services invaluable as they knew how to cope with circumstances new to us. The annual is a real business training, and in the course of the production of the annual, amounts of money into the hundreds are handled by the board. Contrary to popular belief that a huge profit is made, the annual is offered to the public at the lowest possible Hgure. The real expense of production, how- ever, cannot be realized until one is a member of the board. In compiling this book we have tried to include each organization, club, and class and to afford it as much prominence as possible with partiality to- ward none except perhaps the class of '23 to whom the book really belongs.
