FOREWORD T HAS BEEN the policy of the 1931 Mirror Board, in order to make a book which was more a product of the Senior class, and would be of more value to them in future years, to centralize the work of publication in the Senior class to a greater extent than has been done in the past. Also, to insure success in the financing of the book, the business staff has been composed almost entirely of Seniors. The advantages of this system, in theory, are quite plain, the prin- cipal disadvantage lying in the lack of training which the underclass- men receive. However, wherever possible and compatible with our policy, the Junior Staff has been given work to gain experience, thus obviating this disadvantage as much as possible. This book will show us whether or not we were right in adopting this policy, and the books of future years will prove whether or not we were wrong in depriving future classes of this experience, insofar as we did. But do not let it be misconstrued that the rest of the school did not cooperate with the Senior Staff, and that the Mirror of 1931 is not as representative of the whole school as those of former years, for this is not the case. The entire school has cooperated with the staff to produce the book, and reference to the staff on page 6 will show that each class has produced its own section and art work as usual — but the organization and publication of the book as a whole have been taken care of by the Senior Staff. The entire Mirror Board wishes to thank Mr. Corkran for the great help he has been to us in the publication of this year ' s Mirror, acting in his capacity as faculty advisor.
