(Seal) PRESENTATION The Seniors of the Metropolis High School present this, the second volume of the Sphinx to the faculty, and students of the Metropolis High School and to the citizens of Metropolis. Our aim has been high and we hope we have not fallen short of the mark set by ourselves. Although at times we have been discouraged, the monetary assistance and words of ( ncouragement given us by the citizens of Metropolis have encouraged us until at last we have reached our goal. As no Annual was published last year, we have tried to make the second volume of the Sphinx better by fir than its predecessor; volume one published by the Class of 1918. And we earnestly hope that the following classes will follow in our lead and w.th the use of the materials left by us publish an Annual worthy of themselves and of the Metropolis High School. Thanking the people for their co-operation and encouragement, we beg to remain Sincerely. The Class of 1920
