jforeiDort) WE who have edited this book have thought to thank you who have helped us, and to appeal to the interest of you who will read. We do thank you, we do appeal to your interest and fellowship ; but when we attempt to measure our gratitude — to tell you definitely whom we have to thank, and for what, we find the task too hard for us. It is not we of nineteen five alone, it is not only you who are in Abbot now, in whose hands the production of this book has lain : as we ourselves have been influenced by the generations before us, so this Class Book of ours is a product of the years and the classes that have gone before. We who owe so much to the history and the traditions of this school of ours must acknowledge this debt too — that in our Class Book, as in all else, we have drawn, unconsciously and inevitably, help and guidance and inspiration from the lives that have been lived in these halls before us. Not to us only, not alone to you who are our teachers and our schoolmates and our friends, does this book belong. A token to you it certainly is, but it is none the less surely a tribute to the classes that have been, and a hope for the classes that shall come. The Class of Nineteen Five.
