Mr. McCormack The Centennial, a challenge! What does a centennial mean to you? lf I could read your publication, dear editor and staff, before writing this brief message, perhaps I could know. lt can mean a celebration--with people com- ing from far and wide-with parades and banners and gala dress and a carnival, it can mean a motivated way to get a history lesson with many a look into the past, it can mean a challenge. One hundred years ago when our forefathers came to this place, it was for the most part forest primeval. Can you imagine the solitude? Now we have the fertile valley with the forest mostly gone, farrnsteads and fields' and fences, bridges and highways and railroads, people and cattle, cars, trucks, and trains, homes, stores, theaters, and larger buildings-our city. Toil and vision, toil and hope, toil and achievement-for a hundred years. It is good! Time rolls on. Toil and vision, toil and hope, toil and achievement for another hundred years. Can we do better? This is our challenge. R. E. MCCORMACK

P P t i Mr. Otto A yearbook is a personal book. Your interest in it is in direct proportion to the extent that it reflects those activities in which you have shared. Oi what will the pages of this book remind you in the years ahead: days well spent in preparation tor what you now are, reminders of things, left undone, or, indications of a happy present, As you review these pages, may each page stir happy memories of the past: memories of preparation, loyalties, and friendships which still exist. May this book serve to remind you that the lasting things of life come through the mind and the heart and cannot be bought. 'YT he reward of a thing Well done is to have done it. HENRY G. OTTO
