Wide stretched in the foreground spread the waters of lilliott llayg beyond the hay looms the serried city, flanked with countless doeks and wharves serving shipping from the Seven Seas. Against the horizon to the north and east and west uprear the mountains. Water and mountain girt as Seattle is, sea-faring and mountaineering are the natural heritage of her sons and daughters. Day in and day out these encircling mountains and waters keep broad- casting to each of us: Be yourselfg widen your horizonsg set your plans alloat. Worlds of knowledge and saving ideas galore await your discovery and used? A. Lyme KAYIC, Vice Pfiflcijmf. -10-
