I 925 SENIOR ANNUAL 7 EDITORIAL Class of twenty-five, here is your Annuall Your staff has worked faith- fully and industriously to prepare and publish a good Annual. We are proud to say that we believe we have produced the best Annual published by any class of R. F. A. Of course every class has thought that its Annual was better than any previous one, but we are sure you will agree that this year a great improve- ment has been made. One of our greatest difficulties in producing this publication has been the problem of financing it. We sincerely thank the Chamber of Commerce com- mittee which so heartily co-operated with the staff and also the business and professional men who have subscribed for Annuals, for in this way they helped us to solve our problem. Without their aid it would have been absolutely impossible to publish this volume. We have at present sold more than twice the number of Annuals sold by previous classes. In all departments of our work we have been very successful. We also wish to thank C. B. Howland, who has added so much to the attractiveness of our book by loaning us many of the pictures which you ind here. . When you receive your Annuals your first feeling will no doubt be one of excitement and interest. You will first turn to the pictures and the jokes. To most of you, probably the Annual will seem to be a source of entertainment for the present, but Seniors, keep your Annuals down through the years. Each year that slips by they will mean more to you. They will bring back the memories of friends who may in years to come' be called to the four corners of the earth. To many of you these Annuals may bring back much dearer memo- ries. To some of you they may represent not only your days in school, but this whole period of your life. In these four years in R. F. A. great turning points in your lives may have been reached: perhaps a friend has been made who has so impressed your character that your whole life has been changed and made better. So it is with the sincere hope that your Annual may not only afford you entertainment now, but bring back in the years to come pleasant memories of events in the years to come, memories of events in your lives that only you ever knew, and only you will remember, that we present to each one of you your Annual.
