preface ANY of us have completed four of the happiest years which will come to our lot; friendships we have formed will endure; the faces and manners of our friends will abide in our memories. Yet it is desirable that there be some material remembrance which shall serve as a constant reminder of the happy years we have spent in O. H. S. And so we publish this “Argus” with the hope that it may be to each of us an outward expression of our affection for our class-mates, our teachers and our school.

 Principal f. ytl. 'Jfammltt To him who has been largely instrumental in giving High School education to two hundred and fifty more pupils annually than were in attendance five years ago when he came, while the town and the grade schools have stood practically still; who has made it possible by agitating an extention of government aid that ninety more boys and girls annually may have High School advantages; who has made the work of the High School more efficient by making the conditions for teaching and for study- ing most favorable; who has stood for the best interest of the pupil, even against the mistaken indulgence of fond parents; who, without compro- mise to popularity or fear of antagonistic interests, has stood solely for the High School—to him we give our warmest appreciation for his past and our heartiest best wishes for his future: to our Principal.
