orefzwom' 3 OLLEGE days and college friendships are unique. Twenty-five years hence this Annual will in some Ways be of greater interest to this student generation than it is today. The scenes pictured here, the persons whose photos adorn these pages, the chron- ology of the year as here presented, the jokes upon various members of the college family, the athletic and forensic records, the groups of various sorts, will all bring to mind memories that will make you live these days over again. Imagine two members of this class looking over the Annual in the spring of 1950. Some member of the second generation is about to graduatefrom High -,School and is talking about going to Ottawa University. These two classmates hunt up the Annual of the class of 1923. They discuss the faculty of those days and compare them with the modern up-to-date professors. They smile as they think of the crude apparatus as contrasted with the 1950 outfit. They discuss the various members of the class' and the wonderful success that some have achieved. There are some that they cannot locate, they seem to have been lost in the crowd and dropped out of sight. They talk of what they helped to achieve while in school thirty years ago and the buildings and endowment that the alumni have helped to provide in recent years and the plans for the future. The entire evening is spent in talking over college life, college pranks, etc., to the intense delight of the younger members of the family. College life with all of its sunshine and shadow is lived over again. 1 say again and from personal experience, there is not another phase of life like it. This is one purpose of this Annual. Buy it, read it, look at the pictures, note the chronology, study the snap-shots, do not overlook one single page. Then .keep it, take it down once per year and go through it carefully, laugh at its jokes once more, look at the faces on these pages, watch the career of theiother fellow Che will watch you all right? and keep young by living overhagain your college days and by vowing, God helping you, you will have a genuine interest in young people and be thoroughly sympathetic with them. This Annual and others like it will help to keep your love for G, U. constantly aglow.

Alma Mater It's a mighty good school, so it is, dear friend, When even the worst is said. We come by bells and we go by bells, i The bell that is never dead. There's a feast and a fast, A joy, then a class, A chapel each morning does call, But still I declare, Foul weather or fair, It,s a mighty good school after all. ' It's a mighty good school, so it is, dear friend, When even the worst we hear, And we've learned to know Why we love it so- And for Ottawa let's give a cheer! There's no place like home, but wherever we roam We'll hear Alma Mater's call, So crown her as best, She'll sure stand the test, She's a mighty good school after all!
