FOREWORD AM the annual of 1918. I have no apologies to offer for myself. I am the result of the best ef- forts of my editors. Credit for whatever good you may find in me should be given to Edwin Szold, whose inspiration I am, and to those who have completed his work. I have been shorn of most of my original features; every detail which demanded additional expense has been omitted. My pages have been thinned until I am a mere skeleton or fragment of what I was intended to be. But this diminution was not without reason. The Red Cross of Porter County was short of funds; my editors were appealed to; and in behalf of that worthy cause it was decided to economize to the limit in my construction. Hence I stand today not alone as a monument to the genius but also to the patriotism and sacrifice of the class of 1918.
