Everchanging Panorama This, then, is what this yearbook strives for — to be the product of the illumination of mind, to be a guide to the social activities, and, most of all, to be the tangible reflection of a realization. It, as an example of the college and of its namesake, serves to furnish the students with the diversity of the events of the year as a compact digest. Recalled at a glance ore the all-important football games, the home- coming dance, the exams that seemed never to end, and the girl down the hall or the fellow in Burton. Page by page it contains the components of the school in picture and word, in both past, present, and future. But the true significance of the Algol lies in that it is more than a record of the college; it is the college. The Algol of Corleton mirrors the Algol of the sky — it is an ever-changing, ever distinctive star.

To the none-editor, editing a yearbook might appear to be an easy task: simply get pictures of clubs and classes, write some copy to accompany them, and stick them in the proper places. Yet this completely overlooks the basic idea behind any yearbook . . that that book should be constructed in such a way that in the far distant future it will bring back memories of the year it records. We would like to dedicate this book to the people whose accomplishments gave the past year its singular character and thereby gave a purpose to this book. May they be re- membered not only as the athletes or the Rhodes scholar but also as people, as friends.
