With this number, the present editors of the senior class finish their labor on the INDEX. As the senior class started this paper we hope that the next class will continue to keep it up, as they can scarcely realize what a great credit it will be to them. And as the older it grows, we hope it will increase in interest so that it may obtain a firm foothold as a model school paper. There is sufficient ability in the next senior class to make it a very pleasing paper. Wishing the paper good success, we now give over our official duties as editors of the INDEX to our successors, whom we congratulate as brother-editors.

In presenting this the first number of the INDEX, published by the pupils of the Bangor High School, we solicit the patronage of our friends and ask their co-operation, which will be essential to the success of our paper. The public has ever been ready to help us in all our undertakings, and we urge all our friends to subscribe for and advertise in our paper, which we will try hard to make instructive and entertaining. We will endeavor to bring the principal events which happen in school life, before the curious public, and thus help them remember their own school days, and let them see whether we have made any progress since the time they themselves were in the power of the school-master.
