To the Students of the State School of Science: The students of the State School of Science published their first Annual in 1914. After three issues it was discontinued until the 1921 Agawasie was published. Since 1921 the students have published an Annual each year without interruption. Each publication has told of the principal events of the school year in story and pictures. As the stories tell of student life from year to year and as pictures of most of the students who have attended this school during the years mentioned can be found in successive volumes, these Annuals furnish the most accurate history of the changes and growth of this school, each Agawasie increasing in value with each year of its age. 1 congratulate this year’s Annual Staff on producing a true history of this school year’s events, for immediate pleasure, and for its great value in the future. E. F. RILEY, President. X X X X X » ★ ★
