FOREWORD Treasure Island—its mystic, shifting shores were ever before us. As freshmen we took those memo- table, first timid steps into the un- known, heading towards that hazy goal so far away, so seemingly un- attainable, Slowly we learned the rules of the ship and the ways of the crew, and then suddenly we were sophomores, old hands with the oars. Our junior year gave us the confi- dence that we were almost there. AI- most within reach of the Island, we worked and waited until at last as seniors we had only a few final steps to take. As that most wonderful of years flew by, we tested the shore. With infinite care we crossed the quicksand and climbed the steep hills of our dominion. Now it is June and we stand on the highest peak of this, our Treasure Island. We have reached our goal at last—the treasure of knowledge built up gradually from the first timid steps to the final conquering of our Treasure Island. But are those just clouds there in the distance? Somehow they seem to hide something. . . . Could it be that there( are other Treasure Islands ahead
