FOREWORD HE usual conception of the school annual, that of being merely a senior record book, is rapidly fading into the dim past. With it are going the old ideas of makefup and art. The long rows of senior pictures on plain backgrounds, the studio made groups of mem' bers of senior activities, in fact all of the old ways of making up the school annual are be' coming obsolete. A new era is coming in. So it is that the Polaris staff offer this annual, not as a senior record, but as a mirror of the activities of the school year, including all the classes. The seniors are the most active class' men, and therefore receive the largest allot' ment of pages. Modern art, modern makefup and the ex' pression of modern youth itself, contribute to the making of this, the Nineteen Twentyfnine Polaris Annual.

DEDICATION MIN THESE modern days, when one wishes light, he steps to the light switch and by the touch of a finger produces illumination. 'Yet one seldom thinks of the man in the powerhouse, whose constant vigil keeps the supply at normal. True also is this of the man at the back of the Polaris. Little credit has ever been given to Mr. Selby for his service through the long years that the Polaris has been in operation. He is our banker, who keeps the accounts straight, who allows us to spend only what is ours, and keeps the circulation manager and business manager on the jump all the time. Through all these years he has asked no praise, been on the job each year and has helped in every way that was his. It is only fitting, therefore, that we, the class of nineteen hun' dred twentyfnine, dedicate this annual to him, Errett M. Selby. 7
