FOREWORD WHEN SHADOWS FALL AND THE GALLANT NOTES OF TAPS ARE BLOWN ON A SUNDAY IN JUNE, APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED SENIORS SHALL HAVE RECEIVED THEIR LONG-AWAITED DEGREES. MANY HOURS OF INTENSIVE STUDY SHALL HAVE MANIFESTED THEMSELVES AS EDUCATIVE NOTES IN THE MINDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE ATTAINED THIS HONOR. TOO, A TAPS SHALL HAVE ENCOMPASSED THEIR LIVES AT CLEMSON WITHIN THE SMALL LIMITS OF ITS COVERS. A TAPS WHICH SHALL IN FUTURE YEARS OBTAIN RECOGNITION AS THE FIRST POST WAR ANNUAL PUBLICATION AT CLEMSON. WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE 1947 STAFF, HAVE SPENT MUCH TIME IN PERFECTING OUR MANY MISTAKES AND OUR ONLY HOPE IS THAT YOU, OUR READERS, WILL ACCEPT IT IN THE CAPACITY IN WHICH WE ENDEAVORED TO PUBLISH IT, A TOKEN OF OUR MEMORIES OF LIFE AT CLEMSON. THE HISTORY OF OUR STAFF IS ONE OF RARE OCCURRENCE. MANY CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE AND MANY GIANT OBSTACLES HAVE BEEN OVERCOME. INCREASED HEADACHES RESULTING FROM RISE IN COST OF MATERIALS, SCARCITY OF THESE PRODUCTS AND OTHER BARRIERS HAVE THWARTED OUR PROGRESS. STILL WE CONTINUED TO WORK AND WITH ONE MOTIVE, TO PUBLISH FOR YOU A SYNOPSIS OF YOUR AND OUR LIFE AT CLEMSON. WE HOPE THAT YOU MAY ENJOY ITS CONTENTS AND THAT THIS TAPS SHALL GO DOWN IN YOUR LITTLE BOOKS AS THE BEST EVER AT CLEMSON. 10
