FOREWORD BEAUTY, Guidance, Culture, Endurance, Pas- sion, Wisdom, and Life: these are the qualities that, for us, are typified by the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Moreover, their huge propor- tions symbolize the greatness and magnitude of our class. Beauty is represented by the magnifi- cent Temple of Diana at Ephesus, Guidance, by the Alexandrian Pharos, whose beams pointed out the way to the mariners of old, Culture, by the colossal Statue of Apollo, patron of the Muses, Endurance, by the Great Pyramid, which has re- mained intact for countless ages, Passion, by the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus that was inspired by a Queen's grief, Wisdom, by the Statue of the Olympian Zeus, supreme ruler over the lives of the ancient Greeks, and Life, by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, that brought green fragrance to a lifeless desert. For these ideals may we always strive, that our life-work may be perpetuated as everlasting and useful monuments, and not become merely: Like snow upon the desert's dusty face, Lighting a little hour or two and gone.
