THE HESPERIAN, true to its mission, reminds us of the passing of another year, and admonishes us to look back over our school history, note the trend of school life, and mark the currents which seem to contribute most to the success of a high school education. Time was when the industrious boy or girl who performed his daily tasks acceptably, who was punctual in his attendance and polite in his conduct, represented the ideal toward which all were urged to strive. But ideals change with larger knowledge. The best citizen is no longer the man who works, supports his family and pays his debts, but who in addition takes time to become interested in his city’s welfare, in all forms of public good, and to share all the thought and labor and sacrifice necessary to uphold and uplift his fellow men, so the best student is he who in addition to performing his prescribed duties, allies himself with the whole life of the school, including its athletics, its scientific and musical clubs, its debating teams, and any other opportunities for general culture that the school affords. The student who enters so deeply into school activities that he has no time for outside pursuits, gets the most out of the years, either in high school or university. One great argument in favor of eastern colleges for western students is that they are separated from the social life of their homes and so have less distraction in their school life. Looking over the years behind us and forward to the future, I urge you Seniors, wherever you go to enter completely into the life of your college. Identify yourselves with its high aims and live for it alone, thus only will you get the value of your time and money. To the classes in the high school who take your place the rule holds good. In school life, as in all life you get out of it in proportion to what you put in. He who would get all there is must give all he has. A. N. Ozias.

IN presenting this work to our class, we have endeavored to give them a book that will l e a pleasant memory of their high school life. It has not been an easy task. Nevertheless, after working and studying and planning, we have arranged the 1911 Hesperian. We hope that it will meet with their approval. In accordance with the desire of the class of 1910, we have kept the size, and style of binding the same. We believe that those classes which follow can find no better and beautiful way in which to print their book and we trust that they will follow out the plan. We wish to thank the many people who have helped us by contributing to its pages. Of course it was not possible to print all of the material submitted— we have merely selected those drawings and articles which seemed l est suited for our purpose. Finally, we wish to thank The Architect Press, especially Mr. Robertson, for the thoughtful attention given us. To Golling-Hesse we are indebted for our photos. Also we wish to thank Mr. William J. Betting, of the Bureau of Engraving, for the advice and helpful criticism he has given us, and for the personal interest he has taken in our endeavor to present the “best annual.” THE ’ll HESPERIAN BOARD, Dean Campbell, Editor.
