THE BOOK
THE "FOLLIES" is the book of the Senior Class of 1920. We who have put out the book have tried to give you some idea of the happenings and events of the whole High School as well as of the Senior Class. The annuals of most years deal wholly with the Senior Class, but we've tried to give a history and display of all classes as well as social events.
If in looking over the book you find anything which does not appeal to you, cut it out and make the book a perfect one for yourself. In this way we can please everyone and all will have a perfect book.
We have tried to make this book the best of any put out, but due to the strikes and high prices of paper we have been working under many difficulties, and will leave the book to your inspection.

ARE YOUR EYES UP TO PAR?
You can hardly answer yes or no to that until you have sub- mitted to an examination by an optometrist. If you mere- ly guess at it, you may guess wrong, and no one can tell how serious the results may be for you. The really well- informed person makes it a point to know about his eyes.
Yes, we can tell you.
