INTRODUCTORY RETD IRKS •TER a most successful year, we place before you the ninth issue of the Observer. We think that we need to make no apologies for this year’s work since we have fulfilled all our pledges and surpassed the expectations of our friends. This last issue for the year 1892, we have devoted to the interest of the first graduating class from the South Side High School. In this issue we have not endeavored to be witty since we have had only two weeks to work upon it, and we have learned that it takes time as well as brains to produce acceptable witticisms. So examine as closely as you may, you will find only the plain but very acceptable facts. The principal purpose of this annual is to serve as a synopsis of the events of the school history of the Senior class of ’92. When ten years from now, you carefully take this annual from its place among your other souvenirs of school life, what a multitude of pleasant and sad memories it will bring back to you. Another purpose is to give to the public an idea of what has been going on within the dreary walls of our dear old school. We can truthfully say that there is not another high school in the city that has been as free from class disturbances. Every class has been cheerfully helping each other, the only strife being that of trying to excell the others in scholarship and courteousness. We are proud of our school and her record. Its whole history has been the demonstration of the Senior class motto “able and willing.” And now we must close our introduction, rejoicing that the class of 92 has such worthy successors as the Juniors are proving to be and feeling confident that they as a Senior class will not fall far below the high standard established by the present Senior class and that they will ever keep improving the character of the Observer as far as it is possible.
