PREFACE We, the Class of 1913, have now reached an epoch in our lives. We have at last breasted the tape which marks the attain- ment of our desire. As We gaze back over that long course of four years, we realize the magnitude of our task, the fortitude and persistency which We must have possessed. Viewing it in a different light We recall the many good times that we have en- joyed, and the fact that We now possess priceless friendships and one prized jewel-an education. Thus, with a heart full of gratitude and with a keen appreciation of our attainment, we resolved to present some memento to our Alma Mater in recogni- tion of the many gifts which it has bestowed upon us. In accordance with this resolve, We, the Class of 1913, present this Annual as our memorial-dedicated to the undergraduates of M. H. S., who have necessarily shared our toils in the past, and Who, in the future, may value this as a reminder of M. H. S. and the'Class of 1913. We, the editors, being but mere mortals, find it necessary to apologize for all the mistakes in this volume. We extend our heartiest thanks to the advertisers and others who have aided in making this Annual a success. We, the Class of 1913, with the dedication of this memento, do hereby become alumni of M. H. S., ,and do advise the undergraduates to follow, as faithfully as We intend to do, this motto: f'EXcelsior.

CUSHING Vos, nostri amici, omnes salutamus, nos qui relicturi sumus altam scholam quae quattuor annos fuit nostra domus. Ut novellae aves ex nido evolandi avidae sunt sed timidae, ita sumus, Iaeti sed maesti quod hoc tuto loco nobis proficiscendum est, quo loco Optima pars vitae nostrae consumpta est. Ea, nocte hic convenistis ut videatis palmas datas et certamen amicum eloquentiae inter discipulas delectas audiatis. EX eo tempore cum Romani mundum rexerunt, magnae res artibus liberalissimis factae suntg ex eo tempore cum Cicero in Foro orationes habuit, novae terrae repertae, nova imperia sunt con- stituta de quibus numquam cogitavit. De his rebus mox audietis. Sint hae disputationes vobis iucundae. Vestra cordia bono animo erga vos compleantur.
