Greeting to the Alumni, A greeting to all the Norfolk High School Alumni far and near, anti a sincere, hearty welcome to Hi (’)ass of 'its just, received into fellowship! May it ever be a matter of pride to us all that our Alumni association is an honored and honorable body. It means something to belong to that little group five per cent, of all public school pupils, it is said-which enters upon the high school course of study, and more still to be numbered among the fortunate few who complete that course with credit. There ought to be in this a stimulus to all subsequent endeavor, and a force binding us together in loyalty to the school and to one another. We submit that it is possible and right for this interns: of each alumnus in all the rest to perpetuate itself. The success of one • is shared by every member. What can we say of our loyalty to the school? One and ali. we have come to the end of our high school course, lamenting that there must be a separation from friends and dear associations, but resolved that, at least, our interest in our first alma water should not cease. But yet, genuine though this resolution may have been, it is certain to be crowded aside unless definite stimuli are from time to time brought to bear upon it. First among these stands The Milestone. It was nine years ago at this time that five young people planted a Milestone, stood back a little to admire it, and then passed confidentially on. It was the thought of those pioneers that this was fo be the first of a long series of epoch-markers in the history of our school. There have been interruptions, but now the entire Alumni association greet with liveliest satisfaction The Milestone of 1898, and sincerely hopes that the revived annual may not again lie allowed to lapse. Our high school annual has manifold reasons for existence, prominent amomr them lieing the fact that through it alone is it possible for many of the alumni to keep in sympathy with the school or to preserve any sort of esprit da corps among themselves. Until there is a monthly high school publication those of us who live at a distance must depend upon the annual for much of what we desire to learn and to feel regarding our alma water. Every year increases this need. The annual would certainly be issued each commencement if the graduating class could feel in the matter as it is sure to do a few years later on. This is the alumni point of view. Superintendent and teachers will favor the annual from other considerations. The graduating class has its particular reasons for issuing the souvenir, and the under-
