THE M. H. S. ANNUAL. 5 Preface. THE purpose of this little compilation is to present to the public a brief history of the Class of '98, and to endeavor to perpetuate in some measure the remembrance of its former glory. By this appearance the High School Annual celebrates its seventh birthday. It now seems to be a firmly established school periodical. ' Seven years of practice have necessarily brought us some- what nearer to the ever receding goal of perfection. Yet, since to err is human, We must again claim the privilege extended to all humanity-that of making a few mistakes. The tardiness in the appearance of the Annual would cause us some uneasiness were it not that we dare to presume a trifle further upon the leniency of our patrons, who have already showed themselves so kind. And just here we would take the opportunity of heartily thanking all who have contributed to the success of the Annual -the advertisers, the subscribers, and the contributors. We hope this little volume will not disappoint the expecta- tions of our kind supporters, and we herewith trustfully resign it to your charitable inspection.
