Foreword Rowing in a tidal stream is either very easy or very hard. If you you row with the tide, it is easy; but if you row against the tide, it is hard. In a tidal stream, the tide changes every six hours. If you start rowing up stream when the tide is running out, you will find hard pulling. You may also strike a sandbar. There is a proverb which says that “patience is a virtue.” This applies to the rowing against the tide. Stop rowing—and you will be swept out to sea. Persevere and when the tide changes, you will be carried to your destiny. The Senior Oracle staff has rowed against the tide a long time. Very, very often it has looked as if the editors would be swamped. The material has been slow to come in; the Senior play “A Mennonite Maid has interfered; Class Night and Commencement preparations have threatened its progress. But the staff has persevered. The material has come in and the staff has managed to overcome the other impediments. The Personal Glimpses is a new idea. Of course, we have not been able to put every little detail in the biographies. We have done our best and have accomplished our aim—a Senior Oracle, which contains an account of every activity in the school; which we hope will raise the standard of the school paper and which we know will bring before each graduate, the ideals, principles and standards of his Alma Mater—The Abington High School.
