FOREWORD The Annual Staff of the year 1921, acting as a medium for the Senior Class, presents for your inspection the 1921 Annual. Neither a gypsy, nor a dream, nor any manipulation of the stars can reveal to the Stall at this moment what your verdict will be. We hope you will be pleased. For we labored with the hope of keeping high the standards of our Class, and of sustaining to the end its honorable reputation and noble achievements. If we have maintained those standards in this book, then you must be pleased, for surely the records of our Class satisfy one and all. By way of indulging in a little sell'-satisfaction, we beg you to notice that the 1921 Annual is not late in publication. We realize, however, that if this book has merit, the credit belongs greatly to those who have given us their unobligated support. In appreciation, we should like to mention, then, The Curtiss-Way Company, the advertisers, and Mr. Moddcr. A word about tl1e members of tl1e Staff: Benjamin Zcmpsky has made the Annual this year practically u self-supporting institution. We class this deed among the miracles, and Mr. Zempsky among the gods. The assistance of his business staff never lagged, never failed. If you like the write-ups, etc., you have Hugh Lee, Eleanor Smith, and Marion Lally to Uthank. And you owe many a laugh and joy to Arthur Cunett, Gladys Hiller, and Nlr. Modder for their splendid endeavors. Look you back, now, among the pages of this book-and may they make you forget for a while the cares of this old gray world. l 1

FACU LTY Through the four years' journey at Meriden High School we have always been conscious of the presence of text-books. For four years we have turned their pagesg we have studied and gleaned from them their hidden wealth of knowledgeg through them we have traveled hitherto unsuspected paths. While we realize now that text-books have their uses, we realize far more greatly that text-books have been but a small part of the means used to gain our end, that the greatest means was Our Faculty. We wish to express as much of our appreciation of the members of that Faculty as mere words will allow. For four years we have struggled along ways that were hidden, obstructed, unlcnowng along ways that were steep, rigorous, tangled. How was it that we survived and conquered? How was it that we were not lost?. Because we traveled under the care of Our Faeultyg because we could feel always the kindly hand of that Faculty upon our shoulders, because that Faculty showed us where to place our feet, and how to set them down. In class we learned to know the Faculty as impartial, honest, fraternal. Its members labored with us when human patience must have been exhausted. The things we have learned, and we hope that they are not too few, we owe to them. They are responsible for our new outlook on life, our higher ideals, our broader minds. Out of class we learned to know the members of that Faculty purely and simply as friends. We confided our troubles to them. VVe sought and honoured their counsel. We played with them even as we worked with them. These sentiments have perhaps been hidden. But we knew from the beginning that they were true. We knew it under our false show of independence and bravado. , And in passing, we feel the greatest sorrow in separating from that staunch, true friend, Our Faculty. THE CLASS OF rozr.
