Metropolis High School - Illohmet Yearbook (Metropolis, IL)

Page 17 text:

t In this, the first Annual published by the Senior Class of Metropolis High School, the whole aim of the editorial staff has been to publish an Annual worthy of old Metropolis High School. The undertaking, which has been a departure from the usual Senior activities, has not always been pleasant, and the problem of finance has at times seemed difficult, but, being determined to leave somethng for our school which shall advance our standing in relation to other schools, we are beginning and leaving this, the first Annual published by this school, in the hope that the future Senior ( lasses shall profit by this beginning and continue the publication of the “Sphinx” each year. The success of the Annual is due largely to the business staff, the associate editors, an dthe untiring work of the assistant editor and illustrator, George Yetter, whose art work for the Annual has surpassed our greatest expectations and has gk.en the Annual an individual style. Much credit is given to the class in general for accomplishing satisfactorily the task of securing subscriptions, which has added materially in financing the Annual. We are leaving the “Sphinx” to the school free irom debt, and we trust that it shall always remain so. With the present financial condition of the “Sphinx” and the material which has been collected, the next year’s Senior Class should have no difficulty in holding up the present standard and bettering the Annual, as we know they shall. In leaving, the editorial staff of the “Sphinx” welcomes the next year editorial staff to the task of publishing the school annual, and wishes them the very best of luck and success. 13 —
