, QP-C .XY 918OflQ,, Greetings , P It is foreign to the mind of the class of l9l8 to put forth this volume as a monument. Neither is their egotism so left-handed as to regard it as a legacy. The book is intended for a keepsake, a sweet remembrance of the gay enchant- ments and golden hours that we would have smile back on us as the angels of our better days. If it cause in later years long-forgotten images of life's young day to blossom again in memory, it will become what we wish it to be, a linger- ing fragrance to sweeten the desert wastes of future thought. O there are Voices of the Past, Links of a golden chain, Wings that can bear me back to Times Which cannot come again: Yet God forbid that l should lose The echoes that remain.-Adelaide Procter. ln so far as this volume is a record of the activities, events and interests of the school, it is both incomplete and surface-skimming. It is not unlike a mirror in fragments which can be put together in reflecting wholeness only by the famil- iar mind. To such a trifling snapshot or a casual phrase will be fertile enough to visualize a crowding train of treasured recollections, rich hints and glorious prophecies. Picking here a name and there a date will yield up a history complete from preface to concluding page. The aim then of the publication is to forge for the graduate a chain of memory which will bind him in endearing attachment to the school and keep it stirring at his heart a constant benediction and an abiding influence, so that his may be the engaging conviction that Where'er I roam, whatever realms I see My heart untraveled fondly retums to thee. Edward P. Kreimer. Twelve
