The Senior HMnnual PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS. Rome, | i 1 ASSOCIATE -E DITORS EDITORIALS. It was with a full knowledge of our lim- ited abilities that we undertook to publish this Annual, but we have done our best and no man can do more. Whether we have succeeded in producing a better and cleaner Annual you must decide. Let us kindly suggest that the future Annuals be kept free from all tobacco and saloon ads, for these but decrease the value of any book and lower the prestige of the school. To all those kind friends who have aided us in bringing forth this volume, we wish to extend our heartiest thanks. To the gen- erous and public-spirited business men of Rome, we also owe our sincere gratitude. They have contributed liberally by respond- ing to our call for ads, and so we wish you to carefully peruse the ads, among which you will find several interesting school’ mat- ters grouped under the title “In Memoriam.” Cuass Day. June 19, 1905. This is the fifth Annual published through the efforts of the Senior Class and we believe it is the best. Much hard labor has been spent upon it to make it the greatest among all its contemporaries; and for neat- ness, logical arrangement, and originality it will have no competition. This Annual is published with good will to all and malice to none; so if perchance you may herein be used for the laughter of the rest, consider yourself honored by being mentioned by us. Ye who criticise us take thought ere you speak and remember that we claim nothing but superiority. We have done our part by excelling all previous efforts and by setting a standard for which all future classes should strive. And now, 1907, get busy and strain all your powers to forward the good Annual movement and seek to publish one that shall add prestige to your class and to your school.
