s life passes swiftly onward, the most any of us can glean from the flying years are impressions of the moment. These pic- tures become stamped upon our consciousness, and comprise our store of memories which endure despite the ravages of time — fleet images of people hurrying down the years, of buildings growing against the skyline, of white winters, delicate green springs, blazing summers, and flaming autumns scudding by in swift succession. Our personalities are moulded by these photo- graphic images; we are a part of all that we have met. Upon this principle this book is established, and we have endeavored to make these pages into an album of scenes grave and gay during the year nineteen hundred and forty - forty-one at Mac- Murray College. Our hope is that we have included those faces and scenes which record for each one the most outstanding mem- ories of her college year.

MISS ELLEN CREEK ETITE, white-haired Miss Ellen Creek has been librarian at MacMurray College since April 6, 1929. She succeeded Miss Eleanor Thompson, who v as the first official librarian. Small as she is, Miss Creek amazes everyone who knows her with her remarkable vitality. Hardly a week has gone by that has not found her at her desk working. Her invaluable assistance has been greatly appreciated by all those who have come in contact with her willingness to cooperate. Impartially, she exerts egual effort toward the advancement of every department of the college. Miss Lucille Crawford, associated with Miss Creek in the ad- ministration of the library, has been with us since the fall of 1929. Like Miss Creek, she is always ready and willing to do every- thing in her power to make the library as useful to the college as possible. She has almost complete charge of the student assistants, and thus there are always girls in the library ready to serve. Together, Miss Creek and Miss Craw- ford have made the MacMurray li- brary a distinct asset, and a part of the college to be proud of. OUK ARIA MISS LUCILLE CRAWFORD
