Presentation To you, the students of Central College, we present the Pelican. May it serve as a record of your achieve- ments, activities, and experiences. Whatever this past year may mean to you we believe it has been a vital year in your life. Since the first day of your arrival you have been a part of Central. Your honors and achievements reflect her glory. Your mistakes, not necessarily detracting from her glory, become the basis from which you learn. We hope that this yearbook may bring back many memories-your arrival in the warm autumn, trials and tribulations of registration, making friendships that will endure forever, hysterical football games, the beauty and pagentry of Homecoming, the thrills of Sadie Hawkins day, chapel exercises, basketball games, parties, studying far into the night, track and baseball, picnics, long walks with the chosen one, and then Commence- ment. The year has been far too short, but time has decreed that thousands of living realities must become memories. To live fully one must love, labor, and sacrifice. You have succeeded. You love and revere your col- lege and what it means to you. You have labored long and diligently for her. You have sacrificed much that Central might gain. Truly, you are a part of Central.

Dedication To Reverend and Mrs. Douwstra, the donors of the Douwstra Chapel, we dedicate the 1940 Pelican. May it be a lit expression of our appreciation for what they have done for us and for genera- tions to come. And we wish to pay tribute to those members of the Central Family who have given years of service to our beloved Col- lege, who have sacrificed much in its behalf. In this respect we would like to mention the following, who are worthy of this honor: Miss Martha Firth, Miss Marie Greiner, Mrs. Carrie Halbert, Mr. Herman Vanden Berg, and Mr. H. Vanden Berg. These people are still active in their work for Central. We congratulate them. We wish also to express our appreciation to the members of the Faculty who have guided us within the classroom and have been an inspiration to us in all of our associations with them. We revere them for their generosity and self-sacrifice.
