PREFACE NOTHER year has passed and it now becomes the duty of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Five to add its contribution to the list of ANNUALS. lndeed, we begin to realize that we have, at last, matured sufficiently to write our reminiscences and to take our place with that organization known as the Alumni Association. For four short years have we gone through the daily routine of M. H S., and now, as we look back, many a pleasant time is recalled, many have been the friendships formed both with teacher and scholar, all the petty trials and troubles are forgotten and we cannot suppress a sigh of regret at the thought of leaving. We think of the many chances we have had and how we have allowed them to pass and can only advise under no graduates to take full advantage of their High School days. For a moment-nay, more than a momentywe wish that we were going through it again but then comes the thought that we are now grown up and must go out and face the world, leaving room for others. And with this thought comes a new spirit of energy. Time cannot be recalled and we, having done our best, must pass on. And this book-it is of no value as a literary work, is merely an outline of the conditions existing in the school when we left it. But it is of value in that it chronicles the efforts and accomplishments of the Class of l905 and it is our hope that, in years to come, after the members of the class are scattered far and wide, it will serve to unite them in spirit, if not in body, to re-establish those friendships of long ago and to bring back recollections of those happy days spent at M, H. S. To such an end, this book is dedicated. The class desires to take this opportunity of acknow- ledging its indebtedess to the subscribers and advertisers whose support have made this publication possible and also to Mr. VValdemar C. Hirschfeld, '98, for his original drawings whichhhavefgreatly addedlto the! appearance of the book.
