We have eagerly awaited its delivery, and look through it with pleasure. A picture here and a statement there appeals especi- ally because of our part in the composition and make-up of that particular portion. ' It is now the year 1956. VVe are looking back to a period thirty years ago. Our physical eyes see the same pictures and the same print. But time has hallowed both pictures and print. There is now a deeper meaning to it all. The ravages of time have left only those matters of deepest impress. What are they? Here is a group picture. Vtfhat pleasant associations it recalls! Here is the picture of a boy who was never satisfied unless a lesson was well learned and clearly understood. He is now very successful. He had a hard road to travel as a boy, but now he is happy. Here is the picture of a boy whose temporal needs were abund- antly supplied, but who, on that account, did not indulge in social practices demanding a sinful waste of time. He now rejoices in the satisfaction of a life, well begun, and continued in efficient thoroughness. Here is the picture of another boy. He didn't care then and he apparently doesn't care now. Here is the picture of a boy who didnlt care then, but who saw his mistake soon after graduating and is now a successful business man. He, however, regrets that he didnlt use his time more wisely when in school. Here is the picture of another boy who knew his lessons well as he found them recorded in books. But he confined his prepara- tion to books, and now he finds himself helpless in a world of action. VVe could look at picture after picture if we had the space to record our thoughts, but let us return to the year 1926, and let each ask himself what will be said of him in 1956. ' Sincerely, JOHN H. EISENHAUER.

Abraham the patriarch! Picture a little goatee on his honorable chin and you will have a perfect portrait of that ancient man. Abe stalks through the halls looking neither to the right nor to the left, and no woman has ever crossed his tracks Cas far as his mother knowsj. Really, his mind is al- ways on athletics Cask any teacherj, and he has had some nifty boxing matches with And- erton and other bums in proctor section, but never in the ring. Rich is quite a specimen of our general athletic ability, he having re- ceived letters in various non-athletic sports. Dick is a good fellow, and we are sorry to lose him. So long!

Adams, a descendant from an old line Cat least, the line he gives is an old one.j He has the distinction of being a five-year man, an honor which few enpoy. CAsk Price.j Jet, proud of his achievement, says, Yes, you can count them on the thumb of your left hand. It's not that he is slow or lacks ambition, for he was seen at one time starting for school at 6.30 A. M. Several times an interviewer was sent away from Emerson's home with the same reply, He went somewhere. His hand read- ing denotes success in whatever he under- takes. , JOHN G.

That is all right, ladies, who wouldn't gasp at seeing such a handsome picture of a real man? It is none other than our friend Mick, Gus is one of these athletes in for all sports except studying. Johnnie,' prob- ably developed his muscles by pushing his old Hup home. It is rumored that Red is one of the married men of our class, be- cause he is found with a certain Mary nearly all the time. John is a good fellow and pleasing to all. He expects to go to Perm and take up dentistry. We wish him much success in the teething industry. So long, John!
