U'VFK one of us is so continually criticized, and made fun of, and —J nagged at and knocked down, and knocked down again as soon as we jump upon our feet, that every one of us thoroughly enjoys the rare treat of the fragrance of a real bouquet. Individually, I fear that most of the bouquets we receive are of the tissue paper kind: big. gaudy affairs given by flattering, fawning hypocrites, who tell us sweet things that we cannot believe, in order not to hurt our feelings: but the perfume of these flowers is of the drug store variety, and they feel prickly when we smell them. I Iowevcr, no one seems to regard the feelings of a large institution, so that we can feel that the bouquets thrown at South High School are made of genuine hot-house roses. I he thing that so many strangers have spoken of, in coming in contact with South High, is the line spirit which prevails in the heart and soul of the student-body. I he speakers we listen to in our mass meetings, the people who attend our football games and other school functions, and recently, a teacher whom we have just taken into our midst, all praise the pride and loyalty we feel toward our school, anti the co-operation with which we work and play. And I am certain that every student in South I ligh can assure himself that this is a genuine ami merited compliment. ()ther things also have drawn attention southward. Not the least among these is the orchestra, an organization in which that same spirit has generated enough power to maintain a high standard musically. In like manner, our school is able to keep abreast of others in athletics, literature, dramatic art. and scholarship. Wc have nothing to be ashamed of. save our lack ot space. Eleven itinerant pedagogs go traveling from room to room, from cellar to garret, crying “I’ussy wants a corner:” but the invincible spirit arises in these pilgrims also, and they make the best of the situation with a smile. In view of all these merits, we, the editors of this publication have felt that we must strive to make the 1915 Tiger maintain the ideals of South 1 ligh established by the other phases. We have tried to make this an expression of that spirit which has been so much admired. Wc have tried to make it artistic anil scholarly, and at the same time readable and humorous. Wc hope that our teachers and patrons will esteem it; wc hope that the student body will enjoy it: and wc hope that every member of the class that issues it will forever regard it as a personal memento of this last beautiful vear.

Foreword. POUR years ago, a South I ligh boy was appointed a cadet at Annapolis. 1 l.ast year he stood highest in his class of 1S9. I lc graduates in June, second in rank. I le is one of the many fine fellows I have known who have been enthusiastic for the Orange ami Black. I le always returns when he can to South, to renew acquaintanceship, remembering with appreciation and affection the place where he received part of his education—an admirable trait in former students, bespeaking a nature loyal and patriotic. This is as it should be. ()ur education should intensify patriotism. Loyalty for a home institution means the upholding of the interests and honor of the larger institution—the State. I like the appearance of the youth. I lis training has not made him haughty nor is he humble. I le is just right: for he shows evidence of self-respect combined with thoughtfulness for others,—qualities which make for the earnest, manly fellow one likes to tie to. We have hundreds of this type at South. They are going out into various communities. They will take up the humdrum duties of every day life, and perform them well. They will be good providers; they will be upright in their dealings,—their word as good as a bond. To them the less fortunate will turn for protection. Wherever they are they will be trusted. Such is my confidence in the youth at South. You have often expressed your admiration for the teacher to whom you have dedicated your annual, with good reason. There is a story told that a lady’s guest at an afternoon tea was unfortunate enough to break a cup of great value; immediately, as if by accident, the hostess’ hand trembled, twitched, and a priceless mate of the first fell to the Hoor. She turned to her friend with a smile and remarked, “1 low slippery and impossible these cups are! 1 laven’t you heard Miss Fish use those very wordst Can you not understand her popularity? Self is lost, your comfort and happiness arc uppermost in her consciousness. Josi.ni JOKCiKNS.
