from The Pnyx, the Springfield High School Yearbook of 1901

Nothing like advertising tobacco to high school kids, and, to those same kids as they grow older and  reminisce, look through their yeabook, and think about the good times.  I wonder if the Sacklers ever placed ocycontin ads in yearbooks.  The Pnyx, by the way, is a hill in Athens where the ancient Athenians would gather for public assemblies.
