at one thing. think one thing and enjoy inst one thing, it is a pleasure to find one man who is many-sided. Mr. Van Valkenburgh is a line type of the younger school of politicians. He is an able lawyer and an elli- cient, thoro public ollieial, combining a rare legal ability with line personal qualities. He is a nlan who certainly has started well, and his many friends both 'f here in his old home and in his adopted city, feel conn- clent that his present success is only the beginning of a useful public life. The Ypsilanti High School has always taken pride in its alumni body and is more than pleased to number Mr. Van Valkenburgh among its most successful mem- bers. .4

iihitnrial xolume of the Ypsi Dixit to the students and the public in general, and hope that as you scan its pages you may be able to say with some-degree of truth, neglecting, if you please, the taults and incongru- ences which are herein doubtlessly only too evident, that it may justly claim a place alongside those meritorious volumes which have preceded it. To present a true record of school life during the past year we have earn- estly tried to keep before us as a guide in this work, and should the critical eyes of your readers encounter any failings in our attempt, we solicit your leniency, trusting that you will believe us when we say that we have not designedly digressed. lVe are glad this year to welcome among the other organizations of the High School a debating society, the need of which has long been felt. We consider the oratorical association a very important organ in High HE EDITORS beg to present this, the eleventh School affairs, not only as a means of developing talent otherwise dormant, but because it signalizes the fact that our High School is more up to the standard and alive to the moment of such a society. 'Were it not the custom- to tender thanks here to the persons who contribute to the Dixit, we would break away from conservatism and perform that act, for we are very gratetul to several of the teachers and students for their articles both of value and interest. We are equally appreciative of the liberal patronage of the busi- ness men Which is shown by the advertisements on the latter pages of this volume. Their support and that of the subscribers are most invaluable in affording a means of publishing the Dixit, and we are indebted to them. We are hopeful however, that the work we have put into this volume may in a slight measure prove our gratitude towards those who have so kindly assisted us.
