FOREWORD The first Holisso was published by the Class of 1911. Though excellent in material and workmanship, the volume was small, as was to be expected in a young school which had not yet made a record and acquired traditions. The record has now been made; the traditions are in the making. Each year the school has grown and improved; each succeeding issue of the Holisso has been better than its predecessor. Each year there has been more material with which to work; more people to work upon it; more precedents for guidance; more records of experience, warning from the pitfalls that entrap the unwary; more encouragement from an ever-increasing number of friends. So Holisso V now takes its place in the illustrious line, surpassing those that have gone before, and to be surpassed in turn by even greater successors.

Greetings In the preparation of Holisso V the class of '16 has had advantages over former classes. In the first place, the school has made great progress since last year. In the second place, the class is a record-breaker in size, (whether or not in other respects, modesty forbids us to mention). In the third place, the excellence of previous issues has inspired us to our very best efforts in order to raise the standard. All members of the class have done their part. We wish to thank also the faculty, the student body, and the people of the city, for their co-operation. Faculty, students, classes, and organizations of the school year 1915-16 are all here together as they can never be again. We feel, therefore, that this book will be an invaluable souvenir of school life, increasing in value as the years roll on. We, then, the class of 1916, take pride in presenting to you the latest and best volume of its kind, Holisso V.
