cunns razzazmia LIBRARY THE M. Il. S. ANNUAL. 5 Preface. IN placing before the public Volume VIII of the Meriden High School Annual, we feel confident, from the success of previous volumes, that it will be favorably received. To the reader who expects to find here a record of the exploits of heroes or the sufferings of martyrs, we can predict only keen disappointment. By this we do not intend to imply that our class contains no such characters, for we have them in abundance. But the time has not yet come when the world will fall prostrate at our feetg our ears do not, as yet, ring with the plaudits of multitudes, nor have we been compelled, thus far, to purchase hats of the Hexpansionist pattern. For the fulfill- ment of these easy possibilities, we beg the readerls indulgence yet a few short years. But to the one who views this Annual as simply a record of our doings and accomplishments Cboth individually and as a whole,j during our four years' companionship, to him we trust these pages will not seem dull or uninteresting. Classmates, when time has dulled our memories, and the past has sunk into dark oblivion, may this little memorandum serve to recall in some degree, not only one another's faces, but also the many pleasant experiences we have had together. We desire to call attention to the new department which has been added this year, as also to the many new pictures and other improvements. We would also extend many thanks both to our advertisers and subscribers, whose kindly interest and generosity made possible this publication 5 also to Mr. Herbert B. Wilkinson and Miss Louisa Lohmann, to whom we are indebted for our many original drawings. June 20, 1899.
