THE 1916 CHAOS

The cuts used herewith were loaned The Republican by J. Eivyn Allman, editor-in-chief of Chaos, the high school biennial publication which is other students, members of the alumni and friend"s of the school. The appearance of Chaos is always a delightful feature of the school closing. The,.

book was published this year by The Benton Review of Fowler, which labored under some inconvenience owing to the poor quality of the cuts. The .Republican is undertaking the printI ing of these cuts with some appre'hension, for they were not a marked Chaos was first printed by the class of 1911 and has made only three appearances since that time, namely in 1912 and 19141 While started as

an annual it was decided later to make it bi-annual and therefore it now features two’ classes, the seniors and juniors, instead of the seniors only> . ~~ This year’s number contains a great deal of interest, the school s^nr J slandihg'’but“ prominently in every' department. Both from the standpoint of its editoilal merit and the cleverness of the cartoons is it a Worthy edition and it will be cher-

ished forever by those students, who belong to the two classes. Not nearly £ll the cuts are used .n this article and to receive the full benefit of the publication -one should spend several hours looking at ,±he pictures and reading ;, the many humorous and laughable quips. Two of those whose pictures appear with the graduating cl£ss djd not complete the course, namely,. Archie Lee and Harvey Phillips.

Chaos consists of 100 pages devoted tb cuts and reading matter and ten pages of advertising. The boon, is bound in brown cover paper. A? plan to bind part of the edition m leather was dispensed with because of the greately advanced cost of the leather. The edition sells for $1 per copy. One of the new and interesting features of the 1916 Chaos is the number of kodak snap-shots of individuals

and groups of students, t the side of each picture of the members of the senior and junior classes appears a knap-shot of the pupil. in a characteristic pose. The book contains almost twice as many pictures as any previousedition. Themajority of the photography was the work of H. F. Parker, who has done this work for the Chaos in all four editions of the book.
