:maze Zllibank iBuu! We, the Annual Staff chosen by the Class of 1919 to prepare and publish '1The 1919 Parker Annual, have tried to discharge faithfully this responsibility. What- ever degree of success has been attained, however, is due at least as much to the splendid co-operation given to us from many sources, as to our own efforts. We are under especial obligation to the teachers who have assisted us in the many details connected with publishing a year book, to the room representatives, for their splendid work in acting as connecting links between the Annual Staff and the school at large, to the artists who have given us the benefit of their talent by making advertising posters and drawings for the book itself, to the many people who have contributed stories, poems, jokes, and other valuable materialg to those members of the typewriting classes who have aided us by typing material for The Annual , to those who have secured the advertising and subscriptions necessary to make this publication a financial successg to our advertisers, for their interest in the school and their willingness to help us in a practical wayg and last, but by no means least, to our subscribers, without whose loyal support we could have had no Annual.,' To attempt to write an individual word of thanks to each person who has helped us or even to mention his name, would be a great task and one which would consume too much space, due to the large number of those who have been of assistance to us. Suflice it to say that we realize very fully our indebtedness to all these friends and extend to them our most hearty thanks. Page 9 ,,
