As editors of the Annual, we have endeavored to prepare a book worthy of our class. This is the first attempt that has ever been made by students of the Union High School to produce a book of this kind, and we realize that it is far from perfect. Though our means are not great, we have tried to use them to the best advantage, knowing that we have no right to incur obligations which we cannot expect to fulfill. We wish here to take the opportunity to thank those members of the student body and of the faculty who have shown an interest in the annual and also the several persons outside of the school who have aided us so materially in our endeavors. Also we are greatly indebted to Leland Hodgkins, who designed the cover for the book, and to Miss Laufman, who has taken the responsibility of reading all the proof. 10

UNION HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. In the Oratorical Contest to be held in Pendleton, Monday, May 24, the Union High School will be represented by Miss Madeline Hill, of the Senior Class. Her subject, “The Passing of a Race,” deals with the persecution of the Indians during the years since the coining of the white man, and her thought and composition are unusually good. Union has not been very successful in the past few years in Oratorical Contests, but we are hoping that our luck will turn and Madeleine will capture great honors for the Union High School. It is owing in a large measure to the liberal policy adopted by the members of the School Board, viz., M. F. Davis, W. A. Maxwell, Thos. Brasher and Clerk E. L. McIntosh, that the schools have been managed so successfully this 3'ear. We regret to say that two photographs, those of Miss Georgia Wright and of Miss Florence Olmstead, for unavoidable reasons, do not appear among those of the other members of the faculty. Owing to our not being able to obtain their photographs in time to publish them in the Annual, we were obliged to omit them, a fact which we regret exceeding!} . 11
