Whitmer High School - Oracle Yearbook (Toledo, OH)

Page 7 text:

One of the most important assignments of students of Whitmer Journalism Classes is the preparation of the Oracle. Into the assignment these writers pour not only the record of the current year at Whitmer, but a good por¬ tion of their own hopes, dreams, and effort. That is why this publication represents what it does to each student. But there is still more to the assignment than the reader will note from even a careful reading of this volume. Countless hours of planning, writing, art layout, proof-reading, editing, and final preparation for the printing lie behind this important job. You will not find pictures or stories relating this work, but it is here just as though photographs and legends recorded the effort. To the student staff must go the full credit for the good work accomplished. Their own knowledge of their thoughtful effort will be the best compensa¬ tion they could ask. The staff and advisor hope that the satisfaction of each student reader of the Oracle will equal our pleasure in presenting this written and pictorial story of another great year at one of America ' s greatest high schools.
