GREETING
O n this, his first birthday, the
Burro greets you with his sec-
ond bray, which we feel justi-
fied in saying is more melodi-
a ous, long drawn out, and soul
inspiring, than his previous efforts. His ap-
pearance has undergone such a radical
change for the better that we think, if his
corral is not enlarged in a very short time,
he will feel hampered in his humble sur-
roundings. The voracity with which this
little animal has foraged in every possible
source for provender of both literary and
pecuniary matter, leads us to believe that he
is in the prime of his life. We feel sure that
he will never be groomed by more competent
hands, and that his usually shaggy coat will
never be smoother and be in more perfect
condition than it now is. As for his interior
contents, we shall make no excuse; for on
what more choice food could you feed such
an animal? We do not claim that he holds
within his maw any masterpiece of litera-
ture or art, but a simple portrayal of our
high school life as we live it and wish to re-
member it in the years to come. So dear
reader make to yourself what criticisms you
will. But pray do not tickle his heels in
public.
