UOUVERTURE '4'1 EFORE allowing the reader to penetrate into Q ' the unexplored wilds of this volume, a word 'NW iv- N gg-p from one who has safely made the expedition may not be amiss. Lest any be apprehensive Jngqkgn of the journey, let it be known that the editors do not believe that any joke contained herein will bring on convulsions, neither do they guarantee that the mere reading of this book will induce sleep after all soothing- syrups have failed. To account for our production, it comes of noble stock, being able to trace its lineage back thru two generations. The Sen or publication of '06 was begun late and hurriedly put together. It consisted of the class play neatly sandwiched be- tween two layers of alumni, class and undergraduate articles. The idea of devoting space to the alumni and under- graduates, put forward by '06, was seized upon and brought to perfection by '07. Their book was divided into five parts, one part being set aside for the alumni and the others reserved for the four classes. The great drawback to this was that it left but little space for contributions from the Seniors themselves. The Freshmen beamed forth on the reader. the Sophomores rejoiced in their allotment, the Juniors were present in all their glory, but one might read the leather covered tome thru and still be woefully ignorant as to who constituted the Senior class and just what they had done. This year we have endeavored to issue a book represen- tative of our class. I-leretofore a startling percentage of those graduating have been completely ignored. To remedy this we arranged to publish the pictures of all who had the courage to face Doc Lee's rapid-firing, never-miss-em, look pleasantn ap- paratus. Our personal mention and permanent address idea Page twelve

will, we hope, prove a success in keeping together what man will put asunder at G-raduation. No space has been given to the lower classes as, being un- organized, but little has been accomplished by them. We realize that in due time, as Seniors, they will publish a record of their own deeds. At present they will be more interested in finding out what is coming to them in the Senior year than in hearing premature orations on their future greatness. With malice to none, and solace to all, we leave the journeyer to his fate. WILLARD M. CRIMES. Ediior in Chief. IS SCHOOL WORTH WHILE jffsW fQl 'Z3f- SHORT time ago there appeared, in one of the mia' A -un . . . Y SMS standard magazines, an article on the relative 1 values of no education, of a common school education, of a high school education, and of WZX . . . . C' l A .1 acollege or university education. The writer I 'Y 1 l i' lip' f 'Ai H2547 of 'gil ' 31'-fi . 4 59:31 Sugar H G I ' of this article stated on good authority that a person with a common school education has about sixteen times the chance that a person of no education has, a person with a high school education about twenty-two times the chance of a person of no education, and that a person with a college or university education has about fifty-six times the chance of a person with no education. These figures may appear too large upon first consider- ation, but anyone can prove their accuracy by looking about him. ln nine cases out of ten, one will find the unschooled man or woman doing the real drudgery of life, digging in the ground or scrubbing for a living. The man with a common education does fairly well as a carpenter or rough mechanic, or Page thirteen
