foreword Probably no period in the world's history has equalled the past four years in glorifying service for others. Had not millions of men and women held no sacrifice too great that others might he free, it seems likely that much that -the experience and labor of centuries have wrought would have been lost. The world is better, the lives of all of us are richer, and our ideals loftier because there was a Princess Pat regiment, an Albert of Belgium, and a Chateau-Thierry. But throughout these years of self-sacrifice the world has learned agreat practical lesson--that the noblest elforts are likely to be wasted if men are not prepared for the work at hand. The pages which follow are devoted to the school interests. I wish I had the time and the opportunity to tell you again how important I believe these can he made in teaching some of the most valuable lessons we learn here at Central. I envy the boys and girls who carry on this work for the school. Theirs is the thrill that comes from service for others-theirs the opportunity for greater efficiency in handling the bigger things of the future. EMORY M. WILSON. 18
