Ottortal HE RIVER OF LI FE FLOWS ON. This pleasant and eventful year is but a tiny ripple on that great stream. Yet each eddying rush, each murmuring trickle, forms a little part of that greater entity of living water. We are too often apt to look upon these little episodes in life with much disrespect. We enter, act, and pass these little stages, and then forget that they ever existed. We do not deem them worthy of our continued notice. Life is too full of little things that all should be remembered. Therefore, Ave do forget, at times, the interesting scenes along the way that gladly we would recall, if Ave but could. Perhaps it was a writing lesson; perhaps it was in History period; mayhap it was a thrilling game; it may have been on Friday afternoon; maybe at a social; or perhaps it was some friend of yours wdth whom you used to chum. This you have faintly called to mind again, you strive to restore it to its former brilliance, but you can’t just place it back where it once was; and you fight your dull forgetfulness. In vain you try to thaw those frozen thoughts of the past. But here the warm west wind brings drafts of sweet relief. The mild Chinook” blows soothingly over the frigid Avastes; and it brings to your heart a Avealth of golden memories. So may we hope this book will be to you a living realm of remembered joy—and its purpose is fulfilled. Page eleven
