V H M f .-,-.MiQHaM Ehitnrials OUR TASK IS DONE The moment this book is in your hands our job is done. The work which we undertook last September is finished. And, since it is finished it is perhaps well to glance back and see what we have done. We have changed the form from a newspaper to a magazine form and at the time we en- countered a great deal of opposition. We sent four delegates to the C. I. P. A. convention at Madison, Wisconsin, and won an honor rating. We published school songs for use at football games. We have given more for the money then was ever given before, having ex- pended two and one-half times more than the staff of the preceded year, which in turn spent more than the years preceding. Finally, we have published an annual, replete with cuts and sold it at the low cost of seventy-five cents per copy, when most annuals sell at between one and two dollars. Our year has been one of achievement, one of progress. We summarize what we have done simply to show that the lVIur-Mur is becoming better year by year. And next year it will be so much better that the lVlur-lVIur of this year cannot compare. That is our hope and most earn- est desire. THE ADVERTISERS Our advertisers, the business men of Oswego who have adds in this book are our friends. They gave us the adds to help us, not to help themselves. A few large stores are conspicuous- ly absent, among the-m that of the one who does more for the Oswego High School than any other merchants, and yet we're still guessing as to what he ever did. A pin prick will burst any bubble. It is hoped this one will fulfill its duty. We do not chastise because a business man cannot afford to advertise or does not wish to, but we detest one who talks, but does not act in amanner sufficient to at least give his talk a foundation. We most heartily thank those who have advertised with us in this book. May your suc- cess be as great as that which you have wished for us. OUR PHOTOG RAPHER To let this book go to press without saying something about the aid given us by the IVI. S. Lovell Studio, woud be grossly unfair, inasmuch as this book could never have been either as good as, or could never have been published on time if it had not been for their fine work. The quality speaks for itself, and every picture in the book was made by the Lovell Studio. We got a very late start and in order to get us the pictures on time they were forced to work overtime day after day, and the cost was made almost negligible. The Oswego High School has a real friend in Mr. Lovell and the work of his studio is most highly recommended. F '-qaeag f 'i A 'r -j-gi-K - 1 'ighfgfg t
