In publishing this volume, the annual record of the proceedings of the Pekin High School, we have endeavored to present to our readers in as entertaining a manner as possible the record of the year of nineteen sixteen and seventeen. The pleasure of this task devolves upon us, the graduates of nneteen seventeen, who are duly prepared as a result of our four years of devoted study and practical training in the Pekin High School. May the many years of our lives to come be as bright and as prosperous as these last four years have been, for now we are ready to launch out upon that great ocean of life and it falls upon us to make it what we will. We desire to show our appreciation of the beautiful new building in which we have been permitted to complete our high school years by the dedication of this volume to those to whom we are indebted for it. Much is owed to the faculty whose unceasing efforts in our behalf have so greatly aided us in obtaining the knowledge which we have sought. Here we wish to thank the teachers to whom we are indebted. We extend our most sincere thanks to the students of the lower classes whose willing help has aided us in carrying out this work, and wish that they may receive as willing help from the lower classmen when they have almost reached their goal and take up the work which is now ours. And now, as we reluctantly depart from the realms of high school life, we wish to extend to all who follow us our best wishes for successful careers.
