dlutruiuirtum THE dear old lady who did not enjoy reading the dictionary be- cause the subject changed so often must have had reference to the time-honored Unabridged. Certain it is that she had not turned the pages of this latest of biographical dictionaries, this cyclo- pedia of fact and fancy, this bright lexicon of youth—the Senior Annual for 1912—whose subtle, indefinite charm lay in its very mul- tiplicity of subjects, and in the anxious uncertainty of what is coming next. You will no doubt agree that the editors and managers have been highly successful in their earnest efforts to make this book repre- sentative of the best things for which the High School stands. Materials for such a publication are very difficult to collect. No one who has not undertaken a similar project can realize the prodigious amount of work required to prepare this Annual for the printer, and how much of the work fails to he shown in the hook as you see it. But so far as it has been possible, all departments and all authorized student organizations have been given a place in the following pages. The editors have been loyally supported by the school, particularly by the Class of 1912, in whose honor this Annual is issued, and under whose auspices so many other worthy enterprises and enjoyable func- tions have been successfully conducted during the past four years. Rarely indeed has a class been so happy and so fortunate in the dedication of a volume as in the present instance. It is not given to many men to hold so warm a place in the hearts of hundreds of young men and women, whom they have served so faithfully and so well during the past several years; and the dedication of this volume to Superintendent McDowell and Professor Harris is but a slight mani- festation of the love, respect, and honor which the entire school delights to show and which they so richly merit. Now if you have been patient enough to read this introduction, you will not be longer detained. Your pleasure will begin on the following page.
