EFORE 1900, Oberlin High School had no year book. The first annual carried the following introduction: For the first time an Annual has made its appearance in the Oberlin High School. It is hoped that through it may be shown a new phase of our school life, that will recall to the mind of the reader the numerous pleasantries and humorous incidents of the year, and at the same time show work of a more solid character. That it will serve to make us better acquainted with one an- other, and in the future enable us to recall with more vivid- ness and pleasure the incidents of our High School life. Thanking all who have assisted us in the undertaking, we present you, kind reader, the first edition of the Oberlin High School Annual.

DEDICATION To WILLIAM C. BOHRER, for twenty-three years a friend and teacher of Oberlin High School students, we dedicate this Hftieth anniversary annual.

Mr. Bohrer's apt comments upon the sundry details of life, his sharp enthusiasm for history and its relationship to the modern world, and his alert interest in current events sound the keynote in citizenship for us.
