Excerpt from My High School Days: Including a Brief History of the Pittsburgh Central High School From 1855 to 1871 and Addenda

In the author's first book, F lem's F ancies, he originally intend ed to place a chapter entitled, My High School Days. Data aug mented rapidly, and each old scholar consulted, had something to add or something to suggest that had not occurred to him. Corre spondence added to consultation and interest grew. Many stated that the data wanted, were fugitive and scattered widely, and should be gathered and garnered. This is the threshing of much grain. There is possibly some chaff. Perfection is altogether ideal, and should not be looked for here. The author feels that he has not even approximated it, and how far the work falls short, it is for his readers to judge. Should any dear Alumnus or dearer Alumna desire to improve this compendium of My High School Days, let him or her command, and the gentleman of '71 herein designated will gladly place any mat ter he may have at the disposal of the amender.
