Volumes could be written on what you, the class of ' 40, have done, but suffice it to say that your four years have been rich, full, and j stimulating. If this book can bring back an occasional glimpse of those " good old " days, it will have served its purpose. If, in addition, its treasured memories can rekindle the enthusiasm, the hope,- and the courage which were so evident in your high school activities, then the 1940 Anchors will have made a double contribution to your happi- ness.
