PURPLE 'St CULD My DEAR FRIENDS, THE Bors ' l AND GIRLS or MCKINLEY: When I entered upon my duties as Girls' Vice Principal in September 1926 there were of course many new and difficult duties facing me. Now, as I look back over a year spent in the office, I can only think of the happiness my new work has brought me. This is not because all the difficult problems have been easy to solve or all the buidens light for there will always be difficulties. For most of us there would be no satisfaction if all our work became easy. My happiness has been in the splendid team work which you all have shown in this new situation. Without team work no great victories can be won. Each member must have his par- ticular place to fill and must know all rules besides. For the way in which you have played the game this year, I wish to exress my N appreciation. ' May this same spirit ever be the spirit l of McKinley. Girls' Vice, Principal. S Boys AND Gnzts or MCKINLEY: l It is with a great deal of pleasure that I express to you my sincere appreciation for the wonderful spirit you have shown in your desire to cooperate to the utmost to help make this a better school. We love McKinley and hold near and dear to our hearts the pleasent memories of the days spent together constantly striving to Seek the Heights by means of the Trail which leads to success. The road is sometimes rough and the tendency is to become weary, but there is no such word as Fail for the boys and girls who possess those scholarship and citizen- ship qualities which are necessary to enter the race. .lf you are about to graduate f.om Mc- Kinley we trust that you will always re- member the ideals for which we have stood, and may those ideals enable you to render a greater service to the world. l cm T I B oys' Vice Principal.

PURPLE 'fist COLD To the Graduating Classes: l sc, 15 S I sit at my desk and write this message to the graduating classes of 1927, MM.. I realize that in a short time another Annual will have been added to ' ' those which have gone before, and the records of two more graduating 1 classes will have been written into the history of our school. 1 ' From the time you entered McKinley as B7 boys and girls, on up through the three yea1's of your junior high school life, .we have watched with honest pride your mental, moral, and physical development, and we have prized more than we can express in words the valuable contributions you have made towards the development of those ideals for which our school has stood. The loyalty with which you have upheld the standards of McKinley is an assurance to us that whatever position the future may have in store for you, or wherever your lot may be cast, the lives of those with whom you come in contract will be richer and fuller because of you who constitute Winter Class and the Summer Class of 1927. Your sincere friend, Princiyml.
