ZJb We cannot forever stand threshold of life and look for a glorious future, for the time must come when we shall derive a great deal of our pleasure from the bitter-sweet memories of the past. During the years spent as students on Sunshine Slopes we have been laying the foundation for these memories, and it is the purpose of this book to record some of the joys and sorrows of our college life. It would, however, be an impos- sible task to portray the Birmingham-Southern spirit which pervades the atmosphere of our Alma Mater and which through years of asso- ciation has become an integral part of her sons and daughters. Such a spirit is too sacred and sublime for mere words and pictures. We must therefore leave the best unsaid and attempt to give to ou an accurate record of the mere outward manifestations of the heart and soul of Birmingham-So uthern, sincerely hoping that it may be a source of pleasure in those future da ' s when pleasant memories vill insure our happiness. ■ I
