Why I Should Buy a School Annual Most of the pleasure of life is based on our present circumstance, but only one short day and our present becomes our past. The memories of the past have been the cause of many a pleasant moment and fleeting day dream. Everywhere about us we see how mankind seeks to recall the past which was once the present. Observe the American dollar bill. Upon its face is the imprint of Washington, the Father of our Country. Turn to the tive dollar bill, you see the imprint of the great Emzuncipator. Turn the bill over and you see Lincoln Memorial, the greatest single con- tribution ever built in memory of one man. Recall the printed page how the present will he preserved for the future. As High School students our present must be recorded in a small way that those who fol- low may beneiit by our experience. We cannot build monuments in our memory, but the School Annual affords the greatest single means of recording our experience. It is first of all a permanent record, securely bound and beautifully printed. It records the imprint of those whom we have learned to appreciate and whose photos we prize. The School Annual records the happenings and experiences of one large happy family, the memory of which we shall always cherish. High School is often the turning point in our lives. Many important decisions are made during this time, and who of you dare forget? The School Annual becomes our re-ference book, and as we grow older we turn its pages to recall how Smith and Brown were always together, but time has made one a cook and the other a secretary. The Annual becomes a pastime as we sit by the iireside and relate to our chil- dren the things their Dad and Mother did. This book of memories will be used as a guide book for our sons and daughters. lt will inspire them because of our accomplishments. My motto is, An Annual for every Student. -Angie Vannette. 37
