Page ten YEAR lEMtnrial Once again the Year Book is presented to the students, and will of its very nature necessitate our reviewing the influence which our school has exercised over our lives during the past year. To some the year has brought honor, either in scholastic attainment or in athletic triumph, to others happiness in the association of our friends; and perhaps to still others, it has meant effort without end. How¬ ever, to all it has brought about a gradual transition from childish thoughts and occupations to a more mature attitude to life in general. We have been successful in bringing home to “Western” prizes in both the academic contests and in the athletic competitions, and although we did not win all the laurels, we succeeded in giving evidence of an unusual degree of ability, both mental and physical; of the thoroughness in training by our teachers and coaches; and above all, of the per¬ fection of the sporting-spirit maintained by all the members of the student body. In “yon same paper” you will find a permanent record of all the members of the graduating class, set down in individual “epitaphs,” giving you an insight into their characters, faults, peculiar qualities and enlightening acc ounts of several topics of current interest, interspersed with poems and prophecies. Mingled with the sports news, which has been carefully compiled, will be found humorous anecdotes and cartoons. We hope that you will peruse our book from cover to cover, in the assurance that, after weighing it in the balance of your own critical judgment, you will not find it wanting. The Year Book Committee takes this opportunity to thank all those who have aided in this publication; the various members of the staff for their generous and untiring efforts and their excellent advice; the student body for its hearty co-operative support, especially those who gave not only of their time and energy, so unselfishly, to the sale of the books, but also those who, by making literary contributions, have made possible the publication of this, our journal of the year’s achievement. —Staave Kruse
