So say we all of us-the mighty Class of 1917-for that is what is before us. We are by nature a very quiet, unassuming group of celebrities, but when the Juniors stretch forth their tiny hands in naughty efforts to annoy, we quell them with wondrous power and squelch their puny attempts at notoriety. As we said before, we are naturally very modest, but since we will soon be gone, but not forgotten, we trust, it is our duty to let the school and the remainder of the world know what we are and what we have done. We are the class that put the do in doings, for it was we who made the Mixers the things that they are. It was the glorious Class of '17 that started the Senior-Junior Field Day-a thing never to be forgotten, and a prece- dent that probably will be followed in lat- er years. It was during our administra- tion that the boys took up Military Train- ing and the girls, First Aid. We furnished five of the first eight on the Basketball Team. Most of the points in the big track meets were won 'oy the Seniors. Practic- ally all of the debaters on both teams be- longed to the Senior Class. Last, but one of the greatest of our achievements, is this-The 1917 Herald. We have worked hard on it, and have been helped right nobly by the Juniors and Sophomores on the staff. Perhaps we are prejudiced in its favor, but, at any rate, we think that it is a pretty classy num- ber. It is the first number of the Herald that has ever been constructed in a man- ner to be really called a Year Book. Be- fore the days of the Crier, the Herald came out twice a year. It was then the only record of the year's doings, and of course all of these were written up in con- siderable detail. Then, too, the school was new, and there was much in the curricu- lum that was new and had to be aired. The old type of Herald, among other things, was a chronicle of the doings of the various departments of the school, particularly those of the Manual Training and Domestic Arts Departments. There has been less and less need of this kind of Writeup, and so it has been cut down from year to year. For the last two years there have been almost no departmental articles. Last year there were fewer pages devoted to articles of a strictly literary nature. This year there are no such ar- ticles. We made inquiry and found that only a very small percentage of the stu- dent body ever read that sort of thing, any- way, so we have omitted them alto- gether. ' The Crier has taken care of the events of the year as they have happened. The Herald sume resuml standii count turn tl ing yi who h giving iors, tl of the who lc who h rious We The 1 Book.
