I, The Cycle of1933, give you within these covers of mine, trag- edy, comedy, history, and song. On that Isle where dwells the Muse of prose and poetry, I was nurtured and cradled. And as I grew, I became filled with epics and lyrics which you, kind reader, are now to scan so eagerly. Chiefly, I weave the web of romance and reminiscence about the Class of 19)3. With- in myself I hold the whip hand over fickle memory which might sometime obscure tin events and impressions now so vivid and dear. Perhaps, kind reader, I am doomed to remain long unopened after your first inter- ested perusal. But I shall still count myself worthwhile if at a later time you and your classmates shall open my covers and find and know other classmates as well as pro- fessors. You may in fancy dream of some sleepy lecture rooms, of some busy and inter- esting hours in recitation room, laboratory, and drafting room. Amid the events and mishaps of your future, you may smile at the events and mishaps that have been. I am the answer to the hopes of many minds who have dreamed and labored to give me body and soul. Everyone wJx has had a part ht creating me has given a little of Ins life blood, has shared a tiny fragment of bis soul, has breathed into my being a little of his breath of life, to make me a living reality. by John Frederic Mangold
