Fogg One Dollar a Year Single Copy, Twenty-five Cents THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH, YIELDING PLACE TO NEW” Another class has stepped forth from the School of Horticulture full of the spirit of achievement in its chosen work. Their chance for service has come. Let them keep that same enthusiasm in their work that they have displayed here at school and may the future have great things in store for them! Another class has entered, keen with the anticipation of what the next two years will reveal to them. WISE-ACRES extends a warm welcome to these new students. We, too, are beginning a new year, with a new staff, and we, also, are full of anticipation and enthusiasm. We shall devote a section of each issue to the Alumnae and we ask for their co-operation in submitting any articles or bits of news which would be of interest to them or their former classmates. Recent happenings at the school will be duly recorded and a bit of a humorous page may creep in if we are not too sober. We hope to increase the number of exchanges and make WISE-ACRES an active organ of the School of Iioriticulture. Finally, we shall aim to continue that standard of our predecessors in presenting articles on those subjects of interest, help, and enjoyment to all. 5
