We began on it with our heads in the clouds to make it the Best Ever. We hope it is not the Worst Ever. It is our book, and we do not apologize for it. It could be better, and we have not done otu ' best, but we ha e zi ' orkcd hard. You are the judge. Be your own censor, — take the scissors and eliminate the part objectionable to you. Should it entirely fall below your expectations, it will be useful to prop up the short table leg, or start the fire on a cold morning. AVe have laughed and cried over it, loved and hated it, praised and cussed it, and, we will not undertake to publish a garden seed catalog or a patent medicine almanac now.

[i (M) THE TWENTY-TWO PIERIAN (M) The Board of Education Charles W. Jordax. I ' risidcnt H. Ray Robixsox. Secretary Walter Reid. Treasurer W. G. Bate. Siiperinteiideiif To a Young Man THE great were once as you. Tliey whom men magnify today Once groped and lilundcred on life ' s way. Were fearful of themselves, and thought By magic was men ' s greatness wrought. They feared to try what they could do : Vet Fame hath crowned with her success The selfsame gifts that you possess. The great were young as you, Dreaming the very dreams you hold, Longing yet fearing to be bold. Doubting that they themselves possessed The strengtli and skill for every test. Uncertain of the truths they knew. Not sure that they could stand to fate With all the courage of the great. Then came a day when they Their first liold venture made. Scorning to cry for aid. They dared to stand to fight alone. Took up the gauntlet life had thrown. Charged full-front to the frav. Mastered their fear of self, and then Learned that our great men are but men. C h. Youth, go forth and do ! ou. too. to fame may rise; ou can be strong and wise. Stand up to life and play the man — You can if you ' ll but think you can; The great were once as you. ou envy them their proud success? ' Twas won with gifts that you possess. — Edgar A. Guest. - A little learning is a dangerous thing. Page six -w j
