é ss 2, Fy And now we offer for public apprival the 1916 “Copa de Ora.” Among the many contributors to the success of this year’s book we believe there are one or two who deserve special mention. First, there is our Business Manager. As a general thing this office is scarcely thought of as being much more than an honorary position. Such, how- ever, is not the case. It is, always was and always will be, the most important position connected with the publication of the Annual. It calls for more personal sacrifices and real hard work than is generally realized. After the material is all in and the book on the press the Business Manager’s work is only about half completed. For it is then that the bills for printing, engraving, etc., begin to come in, and it is up to him to collect for the advertisements that the merchants have so generously placed with us, in order that these bills may be met. It is often the middle of July before the Business Manager can sit down to a much- needed and well-earned rest. ‘This year we have been unusually fortunate in securing for Business Manager one who has been more than willing to make the necessary personal sacrifices that the 1916 “Copa de Ora” might be the pronounced success that it is. He has made this success possible in spite of the unusually bad business conditions that have prevailed for the past year. Thus it is we believe that the Business Manager each year, and especially this year, should receive a special vote of thanks from the subscribers to the “Copa de Ora.” And then there is the Art Department. A book of this kind is judged largely by the quality of the cuts it contains. We are sure our readers will agree that the quality of illustrations found in this book has never been surpassed by any high school publication in the country. In addition to furnishing such a gratifying group of illustrations, the Art Department has added an original feature to the book. Inst sad of having the usual embossed cover, they suggested having a hand-painted design on the cover, and hand- painted it is. Thus each book is a pers mal production, in a way, of some mem- ber of this department. Here also we feel there is much credit due. To Mr. Unjohn, our former principal, we wish to extend our individual and collective thanks for the many kindnesses and helpful suggestions which he has so often extended to us. It is unnecessary for us to wish him success in his new work as that has already been attained, as would be the case in any work he might undertake. ‘ Mr. Thompson, who has been with us as principal, but a few short months, has proven that he is a capable educator and a gentleman. We are sorry that it will not be possible for him to continue work at S. P. H. S. next year. ; Now, gentle reader, you are at liberty to peruse some of the other interesting sections of this book. 9
