 ‘-e vCL SYLLABUS -nL3 '- 3 - HISTORY OF THE SYLLABUS In 1005 the Senior Class edited the first year book of Sheridan High. It contained only a few pages and scant information. Hut all great undertakings, have of course, a small beginning. The classes of ensuing years, however, profited much by experience and have published some very creditable annuals of the school’s activities. After a lapse of ten years, the class of T5, seeming to have thoroughly recuperated, published an excellent year book entitled the “Syllabus.” The annual of that memorable year of 1918 was small but well written; perhaps the size may be imputable to the reduced circumstances accompanying the war. In 1925 the year book proved to be of great aspirant value and the class of ’26 published a voluminous book of excellent quality in an attempt to better that publication. Because they labored under copious difficulties due to lack of proper facilities, the “Syllabuses” of the classes of ’29 and ’30 should be remembered as exceptionally good. Last year the unwelcome marauder “Bad Luck” entangled the class of ’31 in his trammels of difficulties, this time in form of a bank failure; consequently, they were unable to complete their book and received much undue criticism. This year the Senior Class, with the indefatigable aid of Mrs. Cline, our Syllabus sponsor, is attempting to edit a year book that will attain the high standards established by our predecessors. We sincerely hope our efforts have not been in vain.
