THEME NTO THE PAGEANT or HIGH-SCHOOL LIFE which passes be- tween the covers of the RosTRUM of I934, we have at- tempted to portray in picture and in story those varied and bountiful gifts of our city which have the power of raising one from the everyday existence of a cultureless life to one of beauty, enjoyment, and service. While the buildings and scenes that are portrayed are acknowledged cultural expres- sions, the principal purpose in such a choice has been to show their true dedication to culture. No other theme that might be chosen can awaken in our minds and hearts such a sense of appreciation and of a continued obligation to the noble- spirited citizens of the past and present years as that of Cul- tural Cincinnati. To be well-born is often considered one of heaven's richest gifts. Not alone should family, health, and monetary ad- vantage make up a legacy of this kind. If it were so, but few of those who dwell within our city would share in this fortune. This goodly heritage has come to us in other ways which make for a more lasting benefit and happiness. We have been graciously smiled upon by the kind face of For- tune. Nature has placed us by birth, by adoption, or by chance in a city where the opportunities for education and culture in its various aspects are manifold and free. For- tunate indeed are those who fully avail themselves of these wonderful gifts. Surely the lines have fallen unto them in pleasant places. May there be others to whom the results of these advantages may be transmitted so that they, too, may share in these blessings. It is the hope of this ROSTRUM that its pages will serve not only as a reminder of what our city so freely offers us, but also as an incentive to a further study and appreciation of those educational and cultural advantages of which Cincinnati is justly proud.
