While the custom of issuing an annual exists in many schools, but a single attempt to do anything of the sort has been made in the history of Macedonia High School. In 1906 the Junior class had printed a year book which was a credit to any school its size.

A study of that ancient volume shows that the 'Donia spirit exists to as marked a degree as at present. Probably the most curious and interesting feature of the 1906 Annual to modern readers is the fancy masquerade costumes worn by everyone who posed for a picture in the book. At least, the disguises would be considered perfect according to modern modes of dress. We hesitate to draw any hasty conclusions, but we are willing to wager that if our present superintendent were to wear a costume similar to that worn by the Mr. Caillot who was Principal of the school in 1906, with mustache and all other fixin's, there would be a striking resemblance. The safety razor has indeed been kind to the human eye!

Here is a partial list of the things which did not annoy the Principal of the M.H.S. in 1906:

Flat tires
Radio Blah!
Late classes
Bell gone dead (no juice)
Drain pipes stopped
Trips to Omaha to shows
Mail plane overhead
Noise in Shop
Band practice
Cooking odors, D.S. or Shop???
Mimeograph gone bad
Saxophone music (?)

It is the sincere desire of the Class of 1926 that the Class of 1946 will stand ready to continue the pleasant custom of getting out a year book every 20 years at M.H.S.
